S1E11 - Ron's Gotta Have It!
Manage episode 376686258 series 3510530
[Reposted from the now defunct Ebony Podcast Network]
Ron finally watches a movie that saves his Black Card (although, some may say the jury is still out as to whether he even has one).
Other than perhaps music, no other art form plays as indelible a role and influence on Black people as the cinema. From how we are depicted to even how we watch it. So it’s no surprise then that our “hero” has some cinematic tastes that may catch him a side-eye (or two).
In this hilarious episode of the podcast, we journey down memory lane as Ron shares some of his earliest podcast conversations with JD and Yolanda—conversations that help lay the groundwork for both this show, and Ron’s journey to Blackness.
