For his tenth episode and Black History Month, Writer Mark Wooden uses African-American filmmaker Melvin Van Peebles's "Watermelon Man" and Mel Brooks's "Blazing Saddles" (written with Richard Pryor) to examine how a creative can make an offensive movie while maintaining a moral high ground above the "cancel culture" pitchforks.

Warning: Mark gets a little political in this one. But if you're not a racist or an asshole, you should be okay!
