Stupid is as a stupid does indeed.

Remakes, reboots, revivals and reimagining of films and TV series are great -- but a new "reimagining" of The Wizard of Oz? It feels a little... much. Whether you want it or not, black-ish creator Kenya Barris and Warner Bros. are creating a newly framed story of Dorothy and her little dog, too. What are your thoughts?

I don't remember Falling Down being this racist.

Rutherford Falls co-creator Sierra Teller Ornelas (Twitter and Instagram) and Dino-Ray talked about the Joel Schumacher drama starring Michael Douglas and we went on one helluva journey unpacking this film about a white man who has a bad day in L.A. We talk about Ornelas's love for Robert Duvall, the great POC character actors in this film and we compare Barbara Hershey's character to Farrah Fawcett's in the iconic made-for-TV movie The Burning Bed. We also spend too much time talking about Farrah Fawcett's catalogue of made-for-TV movies.

Falling Down was giving a combination of "January-6th-insurrectionists" meets "Karen-having-a-meltdown-at-the-Ulta-cash-register" energy. From bad choices in the portrayal of Asian convenient store owners to the stereotypical Black and Brown L.A. gangster trope, Falling Down is packed with racism, homophobia and everything else. It's a terribly problematic movie and not so surprisingly, it is hyper-relevant to today.

In this first "Problematic Fave" minisode, I ask the question: Is Franck Eggelhoffer (played by the iconic Martin Short) from The Father of the Bride racist? Or maybe even a bad stereotype?

Claudia Forestieri (Twitter: @PlanetClaudia; Instagram: @claudiforest) and Brigitte Munoz-Liebowitz (@brigliebs on Twitter and Instagram) of the HBO Max series Gordita Chronicles which is cut from the same cloth as this week's film: Sixteen Candles! Well, it's similar because it's a coming-of-age comedy but it definitely isn't as problematic. As much as the world celebrates John Hughes's directorial debut, it has a lot of problems... A LOT. From the Long Duk Dong of it all to the very problematic rapey banter from Farmer Ted and Jake Ryan, we talk about all of it!

They are kind. They are smart. They are important. We are back with a new episode featuring the illustrious Tre'vell Anderson (@rayzhon on IG; @TrevellAnderson on Twitter). As you can tell from the intro, we are discussing the Oscar-winning film The Help -- and there is PLENTY to discuss. (and for the record, we recorded this episode a minute ago when the world wasn't as garbage as it is now...I mean, it was garbage when we recorded but so much more garbage has happened since!). Nonetheless, Tre'vell had a lot of good insight and we had a lot of laughs as we discussed this 2011 awards season darling.

Journalist, writer and xoNecole EIC Brooke Obie (follow her on Twitter and Instagram) bring Cloud Atlas to Problematic Fave and oof -- it is a journey. There are lots of problems with it, obviously but Brooke also points out some glimmers of good stuff in this sci-fi epic. 

Journalist, writer, producer and FANTI podcast co-host Jarrett Hill (@JarrettHill on Twitter and Instagram) stopped by to talk about the lauded TV series Will & Grace -- and we have thoughts.

Definition Please director and Insecure alum Sujata Day (@sujataday on Twitter and Instagram) talks Steven Spielberg's classic Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Doom. All we can say is that "they tried." 

GLAAD Media Award-winning podcaster and DIASPORA founder Dino-Ray Ramos hosts Problematic Fave, a podcast where we talk about why he talks to a guests about all the problematic things about their favorite TV series and films.
