Shownotes

Hyland Harris joins us to talk about two movies that attack race and prejudice through satire. Hyland is a jazz drummer, tai chi instructor (www.chutaichi.com), manager at Louis Armstrong House (https://www.louisarmstronghouse.org), and musicologist.

In this episode we get into a deep alternate theory of Watermelon Man (Godfrey Cambridge, Estelle Parsons, dir. Melvin Van Peebles), speculations on the behind-the-scenes of Putney Swope (Arnold Johnson, Antonio Fargas, dir. Robert Downey Sr.), and the evolutionary benefits of a turtleneck.
