YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOnline discourse has become a fun part of enjoying and dissecting big pop culture events. But after seeing all the commentary around Ryan Coogler's Sinners - one of the biggest cultural juggernauts of the year - Brittany has one question: are we in a media literacy crisis?
Difference of opinion is one thing, but it feels like some viewers are missing important clues or misreading the film entirely - and it doesn't stop with Sinners.
To help work through this, Pop Culture Happy Hour's Aisha Harris () and Code Switch's B.A. Parker () join the show to figure out what this could mean for the way we engage with the world at large.
