Please be sure to subscribe, rate, and review the show on iTunes by searching the Plunge with an exclamation point at the end, and share the show with all of your friends, enemies, colleagues, whatever. This week, we discuss the near-endless outpouring of videos of white people freaking out on people of color in public. We’ll also put to rest the needless adulation for ailing Republican Senator John McCain, the warmongering quote-on-quote maverick who brought us Sarah Palin. In pop culture, we’ll start off wacky and New Age-y with a discussion of Netflix’s Rajneeshee documentary Wild Wild Country, then we’ll get cynical as hell talking about Obama’s upcoming Netflix content and the unmitigated disaster that is the Solo movie.
