I really enjoyed this one! I have no recollection of the 90s (I was born November 98) but watching this episode, I can see why my parents act the way they do😭

Playing this on the TV while we clean up my wife who doesn’t really watch video essays enjoys the videos on black life and food She also thought you did VO work for other shows I had to tell her you just have a natural cartoon voice lol

Brie

I'm only getting the 34 minute video that's also on youtube. What happened? Am I on the incorrect video. I was all geared up for the extra long deep dive video

Radish

Most thorough and well cited deep dives available! Thank you!
