This episode of the Mental Health Checkup is brought to you by... the FUTURE! Well, more specifically, our upcoming 1-year anniversary! In early March, Renegade Pop Culture turns one year old, and we talk about our plans for the website and podcast's birthday! We also discuss the elephant in the room, as Mike, Jacob, Keona, and newcomer Amanda discuss what happened at our nation's Capitol last Wednesday. It was a rough week, with many mixed emotions and mental stresses, but the team keeps things positive and looks forward to a brighter future! Enjoy the (somewhat disjointed) episode!

Content warning: Politics are discussed, and we're an unapologetically left-of-center bunch, so please be mindful if hearing an opposing viewpoint or opinion upsets you. Thanks!

Mike and Keona put on their interviewer hats and discuss White Lie with directors Yonah Lewis and Calvin Thomas in this very special episode of the Renegade Pop Culture podcast! Join us as the filmmaking duo chat about their influences, casting decisions, and the basis for their fascinating movie about a young woman who falsifies her medical records so that she appears to have cancer and solicits donations from people online. It's a great film, and Thomas and Lewis dive deep into their process as directors and what the film means to them. Special thanks to Calvin and Yonah for taking the time to join us, and thank you to Rock Salt Releasing for the opportunity to speak with them! Enjoy the episode!

In this special mini-episode of the Renegade Home Theater, Mike and Jacob are joined by Keona to discuss one of the best films featured at the Toronto International Film Festival 2019: an independent character piece/thriller called White Lie. Starring Kacey Rohl in the lead role as Katie, a young woman who deceives people into thinking that she has cancer in the hopes of acquiring a university bursary, and gaining sympathy and money through social media crowdfunding campaigns. It's a solid character study with awesome performances and sharp writing and direction. Check out our take on the movie by smashing that play button!
