Description

This week, we discuss big news that’s specific to the Army: the weird, broken-TV looking camouflage pattern has now been formally phased out. It’s the only uniform that Nate wore on active duty, it’s a legacy of terrible defense appropriations and the waste of our militarized budget, and it’s a reminder that just because something is ‘military grade’ doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck. This week’s bonus features Francis and Cynthia Bethea discussing the 1988 Eddie Murphy film COMING TO AMERICA. Why is it basically a family reunion for Black actors in the ’80s?
