Show Notes
We talk about 2006's Man of the Year, a political satire where a comedian KIND OF becomes president, at least for a little while.
The movie falls flat but brings up some interesting thoughts about the state of media in 2006 and how this movie's noticeable lack of any diversity echoes a change in the media landscape of that time with regards to Black representation. A period of time that I call 'The Crossover Era'. It's been bleak ever since!
But what's not bleak? Our discussion of 2006's Man of the Year!
