After two separate polls, our Patrons have finally granted Ebony’s wish and selected The Manchurian Candidate (1962) for discussion. In Anita’s absence, Ebony is joined by not one, but two! very exciting special guests: Associate Professor in Writing, Rhetoric, and Digital Studies at the University of Kentucky, Dr. Kishonna Gray, as well as writer and bon vivant, Paul Spencer. Join us for a lively discourse on this classic political thriller.
