Your Favorite Movie is Racist
There’s a particular kind of discomfort that comes with rewatching a beloved film and noticing something you never saw before-a stereotype, a lazy trope, a cultural blind spot that now feels impossible to ignore. That’s the exact space where Your Favorite Movie is Racist lives. Hosted by Miles Kelly, Tawny Ochoa, and Chris Paicely-the trio behind the name 2 Blacks and a Mexican-this podcast isn’t about canceling classics or dismissing your nostalgia. Instead, it’s a thoughtful, often funny, and deeply personal conversation about how the films we’ve memorized line by line fit into today’s world. Each episode takes on a different movie, from undisputed masterpieces to cult favorites, and holds it up to the light. The hosts ask the questions we might be avoiding: why does that character exist solely as a punchline, what does that romanticized portrayal actually say, and how do these narratives shape us? You’ll hear genuine affection for cinema tangled with honest critique, all while remembering that art is made by people-and people, as the show notes, are a little bit racist sometimes. Tune in for a film review experience that’s less about rating stars and more about understanding what our cherished stories reveal, for better or worse, about the culture that made them.
