For our inaugural episode, CMU students Kirubel Aklilu and Katy Zapanta take on the weighty question: what is the impact of representing African American pain in popular culture? Kirubel and Katy praise HBO's Watchmen for being aware of pitfalls like "trauma porn"---entertainment that exploits black pain for the viewer's pleasure---and, "Copaganda," entertainment that centers a cop's view of the world, but they also take HBO's Watchmen to task for including some scenes that might unnecessarily trigger black pain. They also talk about the history of real life vigilantism in the United States, and the tradition of Americans putting on costumes to fight crime!
