This was a surprise episode for me, Ryan, and I didn't know what we were getting into. To be clear and up front - everyone should be able to live their lives without fear of harassment or violence due to their race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, or any other traits that make up who they are. Media moving towards portrayal of all types of people as being capable of great things is an excellent step forward for society in general and will give billions of people the opportunity to watch others like them doing things they want to do. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moviehowl/support
