Ep. 92 - Whiskey & Watching: "Everything Everywhere All At Once" (2022) ft. Ricardo Gamboa, Charles Preston, & Mia Carbajal

BrownTown shares space with the Hoodoisie hosts Ricardo Gamboa
and Charles Preston and Executive Director Mia Carbajal in the
return of "Whiskey & Watching." BrownTown and the Hoodoise
deconstruct the Oscar Best Picture "Everything Everywhere All At
Once" (2022): When an interdimensional rupture unravels reality,
a middle-aged Chinese immigrant must channel her newfound powers
to fight bizarre and bewildering dangers from the multiverse as
the fate of her family and the world hangs in the balance. From
philosophical nodes on decision-making under capitalism to
nihilism in modern activism, the squad brings in their
perspectives on love, queerness, combatting patriarchy, growing
up in immigrant families, and the opportunities for grounded
representation of people of color in media. Through the heaviness
of it all, Charles just encourages us to, "embrace the
whimsical."

GUESTS


The Hoodoisie (1, 2) is a block-optic, radically politicized,
biweekly live news show based in a different gentrifying
neighborhood every month. Ricardo and Charles invite artists,
activists, comedians, saboteurs, political figures, culture
makers, and musical guests to share their experiences,
perspectives, and talents. The Hoodoisie gives "the chance for
everyday people [particularly queer, working-class, and people of
color] to engage in the discourse that shapes their lives that
they’re often excluded from.” Imagine if The Daily Show got
hijacked by radical POC and queers and they brought along a DJ
and a bar...that's the Hoodoisie. Come out for a conversation and
follow Hoodoisie on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube!
