Episode 433 - Outdated Comedies

What happens when you sometimes rewatch a comedy 30 or 40 years later?  Perhaps with a younger audience.  Do the jokes still hold up?  Can some of those jokes now be considered offensive or insensitive?  Do social and/or moral norms change through the years? Or do we, as the audience, mature emotionally with time. Join Carlos today at GeekFest Rants as we look back at some of our favorite 70's, 80's, and 90's comedies and see if they are now considered outdated.

Episode 421- Song of the South - Do the Right Thing

Have you ever seen the classic Disney film, Song of the South?  Probably not.  What made Disney pull this film from rotation and bury it in their vault?  What makes this film so offensive today? Or was it always offensive? Then we take a look at the racially explosive masterpiece, Do the Right Thing. A prophetic film whose themes seem to keep repeating themselves over and over again.  Today we'll try to explain the ambiguous ending of this timely film.  Join Carlos at GeekFest Rants, but be warned, if politics and racial issues make you uncomfortable, this is not the episode for you.
