They also discuss what impact copaganda has on our perceptions of the police, and why even media that critiques...

Sneople at the Movies will be skipping this week, as we feel it is in poor taste to produce content for our white-hosted show in the midst of the on-going protests which began with the murder of George Floyd by the police.
