The Delicious Culture with Jon Francois

Laura is specifically instructed by Mama Winslow not to sell the Winslow ancestry quilt at a garage sale, but does so anyway in the name of get-rich-quick-kid profit! This leads to definitely the most emotional episode so far with a nice touch of what Andrew calls "colonizer energy" from the adult white woman Laura sells the quilt to. ---- ABOUT "THE DELICIOUS RECAP: FAMILY MATTERS&...

We resume our deep dive into the episode prior to YOU KNOW WHO officially debuting! Is Laura's attempt to get Mama Winslow's quilt back emotionally manipulative? Are you soothed by Rachel's awful saxophone performance? Could Eddie have been a great professional photographer? Let's dig in! ---- ABOUT "THE DELICIOUS RECAP: FAMILY MATTERS" - Did WE do that?! Every Tuesday, J...

Carl arresting his family's favorite television star leads to an interesting discussion on toxic red flags that are bedroom turn-ons, celebrity privilege, the relationship between people of color and the police, and having a photo on standby in case you go missing or just die! ---- ABOUT "THE DELICIOUS RECAP: FAMILY MATTERS" - Did WE do that?! Every Tuesday, Jon Francois and Andrew &...

Harriette gives us a balance of unhealthy and healthy ways to express jealousy in a marriage when Carl's new police partner is revealed to be a young, conventionally attractive woman named Vanessa.
