FERNANDO MADRIGAL returns to the show to talk about a trio of African-American coming-of-age classics: Cooley High (1975), House Party (1990) & ATL (2006). We talk about positive black images, colorism, and how the three films handle each of their specific spins on an age-old subgenre. A great way to celebrate 100 episodes!
