Snubbed: A Decent Podcast on Movies and Film Culture

TV & Film


On the second installment of the most average film podcast on the internet, the gang welcomes their good friend Yohan to talk about one of his favorite movies, Akira. We break down the history of controversy surrounding Warner Bros’ acquisition and planned live-action remake, discuss Lilly Singh’s appointment to a late-night throne at NBC, and talk about China’s homophobic and racist censorship in US films. Also, Nick can’t stop bringing up how he skates and knows streetwear in each episode. Yohan watches the Dora live-action trailer mid-podcast. Someone send us a Chinese Black Panther poster so we can burn it. You can mail it to our P.O. Box at 101 Get Doxed Lane. Intro: "Del Carnaval" by Juanitos Outro: "Night Owl" by Broke For Free
