US / THE ISLAND OF LOST SOULS: Centuries of Oppression (ft. Tori Potenza)

Not for the ”feeble-minded!” This month, David and Devin are joined by writer/film critic Tori Potenza to talk about basically everything that’s horrible in America: systemic racism and white privilege. “Should we eugenics?” is a question posed when analyzing ISLAND OF LOST SOULS (1932), adapted from an H.G. Wells classic and notoriously banned when the Hays Code took effect. We hope for a more cheery analysis with the 2019 film US, written and directed by Jordan Peele, but find more of the same old systemic racism bullsh**. Remember when everything sucked but now it’s better? LOL (Also please, don’t eugenics.)  . 00:03:35 - The Island of Lost Souls 00:45:33 - Get to know Tori! 00:55:00 - Us 00:59:34 - Comparisons 01:42:27 - Bone Reviews .
