Bring Receipts has arrived! Grab your tanning pills and get ready to talk about the 1986 movie, Soul Man. This film follows the journey of Mark Watson (C Thomas Howell) a white student forced by his rich parents to pay for law school on his own. So what does he do? As Brandi describes it, he "inhabits the body of a black person" in order to get a scholarship to attend Harvard Law School.
Brandi argues it's the most progressive movie of the 1980s. Steven completely disagrees. Joining the pod to decide who is right is activist/DJ/ and tastemaker: Kwesi Chappin (@KwesiC).
This episode covers the history of blackface, race in the 1980s, and the illustrious (or not so) careers of Rae Dawn Chong and C Thomas Howell.
