make but in some houses when we talk certain haha it's fine i mean without a lot of soul as well it just proves my point about well done steaks you probably should have all the things i mean just everything i mean i was reading another article earlier today a study that came out that said most of your household cleaning is that you like sonya i know the story itself over time and over the years can is the equivalent of smoking like twenty cigarettes a day yes and everything from you know we use a lot of air fresheners and things like that that actually they may take a scent out of the air but a lot of them actually put more talks the chemicals in the eye which is where these hot hazardous chemicals i mean if the problem is we've talked about in this show we don't test for the base camp like the chemicals that we put into stuff we don't have you know they're suppose we don't we don't really understand area we're not proactive right if it's in a tight pod it probably will get regulated by others to chuckie schober but if you know something else it's sort of like it's ok you know if it's round up and you put

12:04 pm
to bridge the gap this is the great american people which. were american were smooth enough but what that's not us americans are screwed good plus huckster golf playing sharks that's who we are and that's who john travolta is that's why i don't like a barack obama that's what they learn from. an epic roar echo throughout hollywood this weekend as the marvel universe superhero a black panther was finally unleashed in theaters here in the united states and around the world and the benchmark of success in
12:05 pm
a capitalistic culture is money then without a shadow of a doubt black panther is in just four days of release a smashing success by pulling in a record breaking two hundred thirty five million dollar opening weekend at the box office black panther shatter not only box office records alon held movie industry beliefs and a racist barrier is about the amount of green a film of color can bring in especially one featuring a black superhero fighting for the safety of his powerful and technologically advanced african home country not exactly hollywood storytelling spread bother to say the least but for many black men women and children both here in the u.s. and around the world even before the film was released the success of black panther was about more than just being another hollywood hit and joining us to discuss by panther's true success is georgetown university professor chris chambers as a new wow do you two that's a big price that's a big number oh it is blows away every every you know and it and you there weren't any rappers in the movie right there weren't any bizarre stereotypes in the movie
12:06 pm
there were some hard questions and issues to debate in the movie all the things that you know go counterintuitive to what hollywood just over and over again in all the years leading up so let me ask you you know why why do you believe you know why is black panther success this week and so much bigger than just dollar numbers like what actually was the success it's a perfect storm i mean we have we have the current cultural and social and political climate that really where i think african-americans needed this kind of a pick me up but black people alone can't create this kind of domestic no. and you're going to see that repeated i mean this is a character that was invented by white people in the sixty's by stan lee but i think the time is now for for for this kind of a of a movie that be transformative in a lot of people who movies for being transformative but if you look at the negative
12:07 pm
side look at birth of a nation look at. you know gone with the wind i mean they were culturally transformative in a negative way and colored the way we think of american history will you know a movie can do that in a positive way and i think when you have this cast this kind of writing you know it can transform people that's for that's for true do you think this is step one of sort of pushing that that idea which is an old held belief years and years in hollywood i can tell you the ten plus years i spent in hollywood there was one thing for certain is that any white male executive which for most of them will tell you. black movies don't make money over and over and over again get out and that they just they don't make any money overseas they just do domestically and it's fine so they're not a good investment is this sort of that proof and sort of pushing that you know we had oscar so way and that you know moonlight when you know the success of get out
12:08 pm
now black panther do you think that this is like that first proving ground for really i think we've turned a corner because this has a broad appeal and it's a piece of a larger marvel universe so you know it's a good litmus test to overseas because if it goes to a place like china and the chinese say well we don't want to see it then they have to we've pretty much laid bare where they're coming from but i don't think that's going to happen i think that because it's a part of a larger marvel universe because the writing the issues you know that. being hit the face with issues it's there but you can you can kind of roman it over but if you could you could do it in the course of this like amazing. i i think it's going to turn the corner it's going to blow away a lot of people and we're seeing this now i mean i've never heard of hollywood exact say oh well gosh you know maybe we need to put a panther movie in between the you know the infinity wars which are well they're not going to do that but i mean now they see you know i hope that they did kill him
12:09 pm
off of the if in a few wars but you know nowadays we don't want to be here but you know if you know that's going to be that's that's going to be a screaming or it will look if they can put you know christopher plummer you know in the ridley scott my black berry oh really made a slight error here yeah you know what's interesting too is without giving away specifics because we believe that we want to protect spoilers here you know we won't about you know the government what they do but. what about the representation of of you know the character of black panther you know the home country of what condon even the villain was eric kill mongar what made that so game changing and groundbreaking for this type of movie like what what in that representation really jumped out well you know if you look at stories that resonate if you look at the batman origin story of how his parents were killed or even superman coming here i mean you had these people try to make a child and kill monger into like martin luther king and malcolm x.
12:10 pm
and which is which is stupid there's no there's no comparison there are contrast and kill monger is a a psychopathic murderer but he had this the in the movie you're asked to say well how did he get that way we're we're in a because when i used to read black panther when i was younger i'd say how could this country that had this gift of the you know the vibranium you know you know meteorite how could they sit back and watch so many of their brothers and sisters and slaved thought for a thousand years how can they sit there and watch you know european powers come in and colonize and tear apart the continent which was which was a viable continent before you know colonial. a lot of people think the whole there was a tarzan movie before then it wasn't know it and i used to sit there and think well how how would they treat that and ryan coogler in this movie addresses those issues and makes you debated but he doesn't sit there and say well you know kill monger is a hero for saying i want to help all my oppressed people that he gets comes out and
12:11 pm
says the guy's a maniac but how did he become a maniac and i think that's a very compelling story there's a very compelling story most definitely there's a feminism aspect to it too and we can do it i'm sure was a. favorite of the so right about so that was my big thing about this movie is that i tried to stay away from the marketing as much as possible i know what i know about the comic from before and i've started to like us and keeping myself open to the story and what i what i've seen come out and what what finally sort of struck me the most is that the women these are so these are and mazing women and i think even beyond what was you know wonder woman you know for this idea of strong women this is huge an intersection feminism kind of way these are strong black women they had up armies they're not sitting there arguing over a man they're not you know fighting with each other they're fierce and bald flat beautiful and they are just. a way of raising see you know what you're talking
12:12 pm
about his younger sister who's in the actually yes or the door of the larger who are his his bodyguards i mean that's something that you didn't even see in the comics you know there's this core of female bodyguards that were surrounded him all the time and and quite frankly i mean you know when women in general look at this i mean these are the people that when this disruptive force comes in to tear this kingdom apart these women are the ones who say no we stand for the rule of law we're not going to just go for whoever is popular we're you know we you know we're going to stand up for what's right and that's a very strong statement that is that is i think you. it's interesting because unless it historically i think that black women are often forgotten sometimes in the historical aspect of say the civil rights movement where you have young malcolm x. is and that i think sometimes the women don't get noticed for that and i think this was that moment when you realize like that was such a big part of that story
12:13 pm
a visit was it was it was you know they were the ones who were concerned with the rule of law and what was right and what was just you know what did you you know you said it kind of this is like was it was this something that was like the perfect storm or is this you know or is this something that really does have legs i think that's the most important thing i think it does i mean i think it's a perfect storm in terms of the hype of the build up but i mean but marvel and you know we still have to remember this is this is a money making exercise this is this is this is walt disney horrible and i think that they probably were savvy enough to see that now was the time to introduce this character. break him out from from the winter soldier movie which is where you first see him and you know that you know i think not that they were breaking him out at this time but more like oh great you know we're going to break him out and all the all the stars are in alignment we're going to make money money money money money and look like good guys doing which in a capitalistic system is
12:14 pm
a tough thing to do is tough it is tough i mean the biggest thing for me is always like you know how much did it mean to the kids who go see exupery movies at the end of the day are there for their ultimately for kids that they have always had this is a minnow ever and yeah and i think it's a beautiful thing to see whether it be wonder woman last summer or black panther this were now you suddenly have representation for little girls you know little you know you know black men and women things like that we can look up and say oh no i haven't i have a superhero now who is not white who does not looks like somebody else who actually looks like that i can jump up and follow i mean it's for for women of any color children of any color and even the. you know ryan coogler wrote into this with kill mongar even urban youth because you know this this kid became who he was because of the forces that you know they're still tearing up urban youth so i mean some kids can watch this and say you know i could to europe i can take the message that he's trying to give away from the lunacy you know i don't have to be like that i can i
12:15 pm
can i can attach myself to the positive message without the anger and the destruction and i think that even that will help some kids who are watching this so well there's tons of sequels and i can't wait to see what these what that you know kind of filmmaking team does show you clearly kugler and jordan michael b. jordan are a tandem of actor all right over there we haven't seen in a long time you know where here's these two guys getting better and better with each so should both of you know well it's monday to nerd out and get out with you know a little bit. of you know if we would hear from the creator the real. final through the job thank you at first i was always a pleasure i think don't take yourself and we'll be back with a sequel though. on feb nineteenth one thousand nine hundred eighty two for president franklin delano roosevelt signed executive order nine zero six six years the racial and nationalistic prejudices being pushed by the warhawks at the time to
12:16 pm
enact one of the most despotic oppressive and anti-democratic moves in twentieth century american history following the bombing of pearl harbor the military designated most of the west coast the united states as military areas in addition it was decided that all persons of japanese ancestry both alien and non alien were to be forcibly removed from those areas and put into ten concentration camps over one hundred twenty thousand people were stripped of their wealth belongings and freedom and this week as america celebrates presidents day perhaps we should remember that leaders are good human flawed greedy and terrified of losing power congress concluded in one thousand nine hundred eighty three. about the broader historical causes it shape these decisions were race prejudice war hysteria and a failure of political leadership in these days of hysteria over history fear over facts let us not forget how far and how wrong things can go if we forget our
