Off White

In the inaugural episode of Off White, I welcome comedian Kaseem Bentley and hosts of the Bitch Talk podcast, Erin Lim and Karyn Paige to what will be the first of many lively and inappropriate discussions about the portrayal of people of color and minorities in film, TV, and in media. The first episode (or "pilot" as they say in the biz) is jam-packed with topical fodder including Caitlyn Jenner's acceptance speech at the ESPYS J.K. Rowling having Serena Williams's back on Twitter, J.J. Abrams's shout out to Asians at Comic-Con, Brandy's failed attempt at busking on the New York subway, the guilty wonder that is Bill Cosby, and many other colorful bits of news. We also end with a rousing game of "Recast" where we recast a predominantly white superhero movie with actors of color... and it's more difficult than you think. Enjoy the first episode, because there will be others.
