Show Notes

Many of us Gen X-ers grew up loving the movies of filmmaker John Hughes. Almost 40 years later, though, some of us are looking at those films differently, especially when looking through the lens of race (among other things). Journalist John-John Williams IV talks loving movies that don't necessarily love you back. This was an honest, funny, sometimes sad but ultimately uplifting episode.

John-John Williams is a DEI reporter at The Baltimore Banner.
