Joined by Jerah Milligan (Black Men Can't Jump in Hollywood) we discuss the wokest of Lethal Weapons: Lethal Weapon 2. Imagine a world where the police are against racist governments? Where Danny Glover fights Aparthied South Africa?  Where dads are told to respect their daughter's sexual agency?  Wow.  Beyond woke for 1988.  We also discuss criminalizing Black joy and how they screwed John Boyega in the recent Star Wars. Enjoy!

Today Ray and I just shoot the breeze. She drops a few bombs that honestly just leave me speechless! It's all laughs and giggles until I just can't laugh and giggle no more!

Copaganda! is a comedy podcast where we rewatch cop movies to learn about policing. Each episode I rewatch a classic cop film with a comedian friend and ask what makes the ideal cop?  
We break down what’s happening in the movie, what’s happening in policing when the film was being made and our own relationship to police and cop movies.

Did you know Dirty Harry inspired something called a “Make My Day” law, a precursor to today’s “Stand Your Ground” laws? 
Did you know when Miranda rights were introduced the cops lamented they’d never be able to solve a crime again? 
Does watching the chief yell “you’re a loose cannon!” over and over again make us think cops are best when they’re unregulated?  

We get into all this and more in Copaganda! Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
