Episode 40: Quinta Brunson (S50E19)


Listen Later

Quinta Brunson was a delight in her second time hosting on May 3, 2025. Her presence was refreshing and she carried her sketches with a joy that was infectious. We discuss the inside humor of racial epithets on Weekend Update: Two Applebee's Barflies Duke and Darlene, the complicated experience of laughing at oneself in Two Bitches vs. a Gorilla and Forever 31, and the racial politics of time in Will and Todd's Radical Experience. Readings include a SCOTUS briefing on racial epithets, explorations of intersectional womanhood, and "The Chronopolitics of Racial Time," a 2020 essay by Charles Mills. Check out more videos in additional resources along with our reflections on Quinta's hosting debut in S48E16.
