​This week, Josh and Dietrich look at the extraordinary films of Jordan Peele, and attempt to build a playlist of stories that demonstrate that remarkable blending of genre and racial commentary. Josh talks about the film District 9, while Dietrich raves about Saladin Ahmed's Black Bolt. They discuss the haunting ending of horror classic Night of the Living Dead, as well as the exceptional work done by author Victor LaValle in adapting the writings of a bigot to reflect the brutal treatment of black Americans. Finally, the pair break their rule of only including established works by including the staggering debut of HBO's Watchmen. In addition, the pair talk about what's been good to them, including a podcast about one of the most problematic films in the Disney canon, a brilliantly designed mobile game, and a stunningly comprehensive book about how to rebuild civilization from the ground up.
