The Black Guys on White Movies Show

Join me, Aaron Covington, the co-writer of CREED, to talk about white movies. What is a white movie? It's simple! Movies made for and by white people. In America that's a vast majority of the movies! I am often joined by my good friend and cinephile Bernard Harris and in our movie reviews we ask one important question of these films and that is "How white is this movie?"

How white is AVATAR by James Cameron

October 14, 2024 • Aaron Covington • Season 5 • Episode 62

Avatar!
James Cameron!
$$$$$!!

James Cameron is a great filmmaker, right? Why is he so often overlooked in conversations about great filmmakers? And franchise creators!

We go pretty deep into James Cameron's legacy and how he created his own genre of films.

We also tackle the film, Avatar, itself with it's myriad of racial issues, some of which I'm sure came to your mind just upon seeing the title!

Despite this it made a billion dollars, fam. Easily! Why?!

We look at the appeal of the film, the leap in technology required to make the film and how writing it for a younger audience definitely PAID off.

What we thought would be a quick episode turned out to be a long discussion. Tap in and let us know your thoughts!
