#68: Django Unchained

Eric, Jeff, Styles, Sheek and Jadakiss got together in Yonkers to break down Django Unchained, the 2012 revisionist Western film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington and Samuel L. Jackson. We discussed the realities of a white writer/director making a film with slavery as the backdrop, how audiences received the messaging, being desensitized to real life events, what Jamie's character's missions meant, Spike Lee's reaction to the world this film addressed, why Leo's character demanded to shake hands, the portrayal of white supremacy, the depth of Sam Jackson's role and so much more!
