"You have the right to remain silent..." These words are part of the Miranda Warning that is read to criminals during arrest before questioning. It hasn't been that long since this warning was adopted but it has made its way into almost all true crime shows that are on TV today. This week, we talk about the history of the Miranda Warning and some of the issues it still faces.

This week we do a deep dive into black horror. We talk about the "black guy always dies first" trope in addition to the blaxploitation era of the '70s and the stereotypical roles African American actors were offered in horror. Spoiler alert if you haven't seen "Get Out", we analyze the movie in terms of its contributions to the black horror genre and also just rave about how good it was.

The movie, and subsequent musical, Waitress is a modern classic and was written as a love letter from Adrienne Shelly to her daughter, Sophie. When Shelly was senselessly murdered before the film was released, she never saw how her work would touch so many lives.
