  • Summary

  • Welcome back everyone!
    In this episode, Ian and Doug open with a brief story and short discussion about the importance of prioritizing personal time in order to better serve those around us. After the duo catches up they dive into this week's book and film reviews.
    Ian reviews the book "Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance and shares his perspectives including a list of alternative titles for the book. Doug and Ian discuss many of the books themes and give their overall rating of the book. From there, we hear Doug's review of the film "Hollywood Shuffle" by Robert Townsend. This late-80's comedy about the struggles black actors face in Hollywood is a throw back to the days of the Wayans Brothers and In Living Color.
    We end this episode with everyone's favorite game about whether something has happened in either Canada or America, "Which Side of the Border." Thanks for listening!
