One of the biggest blessings of my past year has been getting to work with my friend Mystery Chris on my Deprogrammed Podcast on Wednesday nights. Chris is one of the smartest and funniest people I know, and it’s a gift to get to hang out with him so regularly and share him with others! On Wednesdays he brings his encyclopedic knowledge and his dry, sarcastic and biting humor to our live Popped Culture show - where we delve into all kinds of pop culture topics and how they have influenced culture at large. What some people who watch the show don’t know is that Chris is also a brilliant artist, and he brings his various talents to the show once in a while with hilarious Woke Movie Pitch parodies.
The latest one was “RoboCop: Black the Blue.” Starring Michael B. Johnson as a pimp with a heart of gold, whose body is used by Omni Consumer Products to support their mission to diversity the police force & end systemic oppression of marginalized groups in Detroit. It is just as hilariously woke as you can imagine. If you need a laugh today, give this a watch.
I’ve included his “Back to the Future: Black in Time” one above as well. Starring Zendaya as the granddaughter of Goldie Wilson (Mayor of Hill Valley in 1985) who uncovers a "white supremist" plot.
Have a laugh, and have a happy Thursday!
