Description
Little Richard is a fixture of American culture, and if you were born after the 1950s, you may never have known a time when that wasn’t the case. But chances are, even if you know Little Richard’s name and larger-than-life persona, you still don’t know the half of what he contributed to culture (and not just music culture). Lisa Cortes’s documentary sets the record straight (well, okay, not straight…) and we have Juilliard ethnomusicology professor Fredara Hadley (who appears in the doc as an expert) here to help us talk it out.What’s GoodAlonso - Blue Diamond Cocoa Dusted AlmondsFredara - Spring in New York = Horticulture time!Drea - Jury Duty on FreeveeITIDICa.)

Kingsman: The Golden Circle with Josie Long and Shea Serrano: On this week's episode, April is out attending Fantastic Fest, but Ricky and Alonso hold it down with special guest comedian Josie Long and film festival programmer Drea Clark. The gang discusses the British spy film, Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Shea Serrano from The Ringer calls in to talk about fight scenes and his new article, "The Killings in the ‘Kingsman’ Church Scene, Ranked by Absurdity." Plus, Ricky, Alonso, and Drea make their cases for the most quintessentially British movie character of all time to the resident Brit, Josie Long. In news, the crew discusses celebrity fundraising efforts for Mexico City and Puerto Rico, the production of the four Avatar sequels, Canadian filmmaker, Shiraz Higgins, wanting to charge white men more at the box office, and Arnold Schwarzenegger dropping by a random gym in Leeds, UK.
