Feel the rhythm. Feel the rhyme. Get on up it-- you know what? We're not gonna do this. 

We rewatched the based-on-a-true-story-but-almost-entirely-fabricated tale of the first Jamaican Olympic bobsled team in the Disney crowd-pleaser 'Cool Runnings'. Topics include the film's problematic portrayal of Black Caribbeans, its deeply entrenched meritocratic mindset, and the colonial underpinnings of the irl history.

Naturally, we also talk the minimum wage situation in the Senate and eulogize Neera Tanden's nomination.
