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 Man of the Year? Robin Williams leads presidential political satire

November 08, 2024 • Aaron Covington • Season 5 • Episode 66

We talk about 2006's Man of the Year, a political satire where a comedian KIND OF becomes president, at least for a little while.

The movie falls flat but brings up some interesting thoughts about the state of media in 2006 and how this movie's noticeable lack of any diversity echoes a change in the media landscape of that time with regards to Black representation. A period of time that I call 'The Crossover Era'. It's been bleak ever since!

But what's not bleak? Our discussion of 2006's Man of the Year!
