Unconvenient Truth

Leigh and Negrodamus have an endless supply of puns this episode. The team pull back the curtain and share what it takes to raise a podbaby while living busy lives. The latest set of DC trailers get a review and the pair rebound from their disappointment by reviewing Antman and Wasp. We wrap up with practical strategies for navigating toxic environments.

Mr. Intrigue and Leigh experience peak Black Nerd Joy this week with the arrival of Marvel’s Luke Cage. The pair dig into making sound financial decisions as a mob boss, situational violence, and the toll of fighting the stereotype of the "Angry Black " person. All of this is a warm up for a discussion of an abysmal week in the Supreme Court. Despite the dire situation, Leigh and Mr. I remain hopeful, drawing courage from their ancestors and hope from their descendants.

6/21/18 - Happy solstice from Mr. Intrigue and Leigh. The team needs the longer hours to enjoy the World Cup and go ape$#!+ for the Carters. Leigh brings Mr. I a space rock. Will it be enough to turn him into a granola bunny? = The levity is needed as the team go full angry Black person about Trump's "zero tolerance policy." They call on all their resources, including leaning on Mother Harriet, to make sense of state-sanctioned terrorism.
