Lexual Does The 80s early release

Content

Because you can't get enough 1980s history lessons and you're patiently waiting on episode 4 of Lexual Does The 80s: The Exacerbation of The Culture Wars, you might enjoy this episode on true crime stories that dominated the decade. These are stories that I trimmed out of the main scripts but still wanted to explore because of their cultural significance and/or relation to topics we've discussed in the first three episodes, and will further discuss in the next four! S/o to all of you for your continued support. Black Life In Reagan's America reached over 210,000 views since its release. I'M STILL IN SHOCK!

Fuck Those Kids: The Exacerbation of The Culture Wars drops at the end of this month!
