It's back! White Canon returns with a breakdown of Donnie Darko. This episode is hosted by Trevor and Ken. Joining the Sharks for this round are Felix Biederman of Chapo Trap House and Jack Wagner of Yeah, But Still. Working thru the mysteries of the movie while paralleling the time period to their own childhoods, the Sharks and guests parse out the weird only to discover everything they thought the movie was about is not what its creator had in mind... One thing they DO all agree on though is, the soundtrack rips.

Wait, maybe it's "being in the business of being a person" ... James is here to talk about Tech and the business of selling people the idea of the person being a business. Or maybe, how big tech sells us the product to sell ourselves until they can better sell us for us...

This episode is hosted by Vida, Trevor, and Ken. In today's episode the Sharks go down for down and pound for pound w/ collegiate sports.  From how the disgruntled whites don't want the players to be paid, how Black players are still seen as having "special gifts" rather than "rigorous training" and viewing players as commodities, to the bottom line that money runs the game - one thing becomes most certainly clear; the kids aren't wrong, the rules are wrong.

No matter the subject, white people love getting into other people's business. It's almost as if white people believe they are the "Referees Of Reality". In today's episode, the 4 Sharks unite to vent on why it is white people always think they have this ability to ref everyone else's choices. If you know the Sharks then you probably already know the answer, and you know it's gonna be a laugh riot as our 4 favorite heroes tear into this meat. Co-produced & edited by Aaron C.

Today we have Jason A England, an Assistant Professor of English at Carnegie Mellon back on the show to talk about the "creatives bubbles" and the bubbles within those bubbles. The glut of content on the hopes of making a fast grab of cash. As social media tycoons grab up book and entertainment deals, the questions have to be asked...
