Welcome back to a brand-new episode of The Culture Garden Podcast! This week, we're diving deep into the iconic Spike Lee film School Daze, with over two hours of discussion that you won’t want to miss. As you're traveling for the holiday, kick back and join Kieron and Rachel as they take a trip down memory lane, sharing some of their own college stories, experiences with Greek life, and reflections on the university culture. The duo also explore the themes of School Daze—from classism and colorism to the clash between local residents and college students—and how these issues remain relevant almost 40 years later. We also dive into the complexities of being a revolutionary in a system that doesn’t always allow for financial freedom, and how personal and collective struggles intersect in the fight for justice. We can’t thank you enough for your continued support. As always, enjoy your time with family this holiday season, and we’ll see you next week. Y’all be cool how y’all be cool!

Welcome back to a new episode of The Culture Garden Podcast! This week, we’re diving into the 1998 romantic comedy You’ve Got Mail, the ultimate blend of romance, technology, and '90s charm. Kieron and Rachel will unpack Nora Ephron's legendary contributions to the rom-com genre, including her work on You’ve Got Mail—which sits comfortably alongside some of the best rom-coms of all time. In this episode, we’ll take a stroll down memory lane to revisit the AOL chatroom days, where instant messaging and screen names ruled our digital lives. Plus, we’ll have a candid discussion about Joe Fox's—played by Tom Hanks—unquestionable mastery of gaslighting and manipulation, and how it somehow still feels... kind of charming? Join us as we explore all this and much more, from the film's nostalgia factor to the question of whether the movie still holds up in the modern age of online dating.
