Episode 234: BlacKKKlansman & the Rum & Coke

This week we're heading back to the 1970s with Spike Lee's powerful and provocative 2018 film, BlacKkKlansman! We'll talk about the unbelievable true story of Ron Stallworth, the first African-American detective in the Colorado Springs Police Department, and his daring mission to infiltrate the local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. We'll discuss the film's sharp wit, its chilling relevance, and the incredible performances by John David Washington and Adam Driver.

And to help us navigate this tense and timely film, we're mixing up a classic and deceptively simple cocktail: the Rum and Coke. This iconic two-ingredient drink is a perfect match for a film that tackles a two-faced reality. So grab your highball glasses, cue up the soundtrack, and get ready to raise a glass to BlacKkKlansman!
