Happy Black History Month! To celebrate, we're taking a look at perhaps the most important blaxploitation film in cinematic history with Ivan Dixon. We're happy to discuss the Black movement in the film involving guerilla warfare learned by the CIA, tokenism in the workforce and still at play today, identity politics, Herbie Hancock's score, the voice of Black writers, and a whole lot more. This episode may be one of our most liberal discourses.
We're also drinking Ommegang Brewing Company's Keep It Crunchy Granola Stout!
