Description

Wouldn’t you want perfect Poitier as your son-in-law? Maybe not if you’re “liberal” old coots Hepburn and, in his only AFI film, Tracy. Yup, race is the topic in another T100P podcast. This one isn’t subtle, but the actors are legends, so they’re worth watching. Is our podcast worth hearing? Of course! Fire that thing up.
