    Trey’s Table Episode 265: Genius
    Mar 9 2025
    **🚀✨ New Episode Alert! ✨🚀**

    Hello friends, Trey Smith here, and I’m excited to share the latest episode of *Trey’s Table*—Episode 265, where we dive into the classic sci-fi film *The Brother from Another Planet*!

    Written and directed by the legendary John Sayles, this 1984 gem isn’t just a quirky sci-fi flick—it’s a powerful allegory about race, identity, and the African-American experience. We’re talking themes of slavery, the Underground Railroad, the immigrant experience, and the importance of community.

    And let’s not forget Joe Morton’s *iconic* performance as The Brother—a mute alien navigating the streets of Harlem with quiet dignity and resilience. It’s a masterclass in acting and a reminder of why this film still resonates today.

    🎙️ Tune in to hear the full breakdown and why *The Brother from Another Planet* is a must-watch for anyone who loves thought-provoking cinema.

    👉 **Listen now** and let me know your thoughts! What’s your favorite scene or theme from the movie? Drop a comment or DM me—I’d love to hear from you.

    **Trey’s Table Episode 264: Who Is In Your Wallet?**

    In the latest episode of *Trey’s Table*, we’re diving into a story that exposes the intersection of corporate greed, systemic racism, and the failures of accountability in America’s financial system.

    We’re talking about the Trump administration’s decision to drop a lawsuit against Capital One Bank—a lawsuit that accused the bank of defrauding billions of dollars from its customers, many of whom were Black and brown. This move by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is just the tip of the iceberg.

    Capital One has a troubling history of racial discrimination, including allegations of closing branches in Black neighborhoods while maintaining operations in predominantly white areas. These practices are a modern-day form of redlining, a systemic issue that continues to harm communities of color.

    In this episode, we explore:
    - How Capital One’s actions reflect broader patterns of economic exploitation.
    - Why the CFPB’s failure to hold corporations accountable is a betrayal of its mission.
    - What we can do to fight for economic justice and hold financial institutions accountable.

    This isn’t just about one bank or one lawsuit—it’s about the ongoing struggle for racial equity and economic freedom.

    🎧 Tune in to *Trey’s Table* Episode 264 to hear the full story and join the conversation. Let’s demand accountability and fight for a fairer financial system.

    Trey’s Table Episode 263:MAGA Turns on Justice Coney Barrett


    Racism, the MAGA Movement, and the Attacks on Justice Amy Coney Barrett

    In the latest episode of Trey’s Table, we dive into a disturbing trend: the racist attacks on Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett by some of Donald Trump’s most vocal supporters. Why? Because she dared to rule against the Trump administration in a recent Supreme Court case.

    These attacks reveal a deeper issue within the MAGA movement—its inability to root out racism among its ranks and the unwillingness of its leaders to hold these individuals accountable. What does this say about the movement’s values? And how does this reflect on the broader political landscape?

    Join me as we explore the intersection of race, politics, and power in this critical moment. Tune in to Episode 263 of *Trey’s Table* to unpack the implications of these attacks and what they mean for the future of American democracy.

    🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts. Let’s keep the conversation going.
