“(They also refuse to post this review because it reveals a major flaw in their journalistic practices)
The day I stopped listening was during an episode on Black representation in film. As a Black film nerd, I take Black representation in media seriously.
They were discussing horror and how we always die first (so they were saying). Someone brings up Alien and says the “Black guy dies first in Alien.” The Black guy’s name by the way is Parker. He’s played by Yaphet Kotto, an outstanding actor and character in a strong ensemble cast. Spoiler alert: he doesn’t die first he dies last at the very end of the film and he has an unforgettable voice throughout. Love Parker. Considering it’s Yaphet Kotto (an actor’s actor), you could just get this right. Revisiting this sci-fi horror masterpiece, I had to leave a review. Alien and its place in film is far and away more important and more significant than this podcast. I don’t think I’ve listened to an episode since.”
