In advance of Sunday's Golden Globes awards ceremony, Hannah & Suzanne examine the actions of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association - the voting body who nominates and awards the Golden Globes - through the lens of white mediocrity. They suggest 3-ish ways the veneration of white mediocrity is reflected in this year's list of nominees and even go on a little rant about the myth of the male auteur. A super low-stakes conversation that no one on the internet will be upset about! Also, please watch I May Destroy You.
