PoC-EE

Summary: We've witnessed films like "Black Panther", and "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once" become box-office hits. We've seen the rise of Anime as it filters into the mainstream media. And more recently, we've been introduced to our very first black Mermaid. Finally, the landscape is changing! And we here at PoC:EE Pod fully support it! The role and representation of minorities in Hollywood has always been a precarious one. But this week, we have a Special Guest to give us a little insight what it's like being a working actor in an ever changing business. So join the hosts in on welcoming Jordan Deon Stafford as he break downs what his experiences have been, and what he hopes this shift will bring for the future of both the industry and for the minority community as a whole. Because it's full steam ahead for this train, and there's no stopping it, now!

Last year, we shared the soundtrack to our lives, diving into and discussing the music that moved us. This year, listen in as the hosts talk about the movies that shaped and inspired us. From adventures on the high seas to a galaxy far far away, these are the movies that helped us navigate through the turn of the millennium. They made us laugh, and they made us cry. But most improtantly, these are the films that showed us how to dream big.

We talk about the aunties that made us and the crushes that mmm.

Take a quick snack break with us as we talk about what's going on in our lives and dive into some new shows that have our interest.

Because things are heating up as hosts continue their discussion and close ranks, focusing their attention on Phase Three and the conclusion of the Infinity Saga. Expect no one to come out of this fight unscathed!

From the man in an Iron suit to a hidden paradise in the heart of Africa, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has captured our hearts (and our wallets) for nearly two decades, giving us in-depth looks into complex characters and at fantastical worlds beyond imagination.

We're Back, Baby! Welcome, new and old, to Season Two of the PoC:EE Podcast! Gear up for another year of fun and antics, joining hosts as they open with a look back at the highlights and lowlights from last season. And maybe, if you're lucky, they'll sneak in a little teaser of what's to come!

Its beginnings were humble, in a small little garage at the very heart of the nation. And from it sparked decades of imagination and wonder. So it is only fitting that, in celebrating this momentous milestone, that they name it so. And with 100 Years of Wonder to honor, you can bet Disney is going to make it a party to remember. So join hosts as they tackle all the news and announcements released at this year's D23 as the world prepares to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the House of Mouse, a company that has filled all of our childhoods with love, laughs, and magic. And taught us to wish big, dream impossible dreams, and to keep moving forward.

Music touches us all in many ways. It has the power to calm the tempest in our minds, and soothe the most savage of beasts in our thoughts. It can give a young child hope in a world where there seems to be very little. And it can offer peace to a tired soul that has seen and felt too much. But most of all, it moves to inspire us; to shape us. But often times, it means to guide us through the quiet moments of our lives. So join hosts as they recall the music that moved them, taught them, and grew with them. Because what is music if not the voice of the soul?

In America, it is the age where a person can legally drink. It is the age where someone can both legally gamble in a casino, and enter a nightclub. At twenty one, you can rent a car. And at that same age, you can teach someone else to drive it. But for many, the number twenty one holds a slightly different significance this year. It was that many years ago where an attack was made on America. It was twenty one years ago that the world, for us, changed. In this special episode, listen as hosts talk about what they remember about that day, and discuss the impact it's had on all their lives in the last twenty one years. And think back on a day that practically defined the Millennial generation.

It's one of the most anticipated conventions in America, and each year Nerds of every walk of life gather to share in the experience. But while our dream to be at Hall H in person has yet to be realized, thanks to the power of the internet, we can still get just a little taste of the madness and mania. So Geeks of the world, UNITE! And join hosts as they discuss and gush over all the news and announcements released at this year's San Diego Comi-Con!

It began with a single point of light. And from that, the universe was born, becoming more and more vast with each passing day. So it's not impossible to believe that there is a connection between the things that exist in that same universe; that we, as people, could be born from stardust and dying worlds. And that the planets and moon and the stars from our small corner of it would have some significant impact. So join hosts as they delve into their astrological birth charts, exploring what they mean and how it links up with the different aspects of their personalities. And maybe - just maybe - it turns out that being born from dying stars connects us into being more than just insignificant dots in the wide expanse of space.

It's two sides of the same coin: the perpetual propaganda of 'Modest Culture,' and the marketable understanding that 'Sex Sells.' And for as long as humans have existed, the sex itself has always made quite the profit. But whereas before it had been hidden away behind velvet curtains, in dark basements, and handled with a mountain of shame, it now has started to come into the forefront of conversations. And also has become more readily available, thanks in no small part to the Internet. But is that to our benefit or to our detriment? Join hosts as they try to find that out while discussing the good, the bad, and the raunchy in what will likely be their wildest episode, yet. So pull up a chair and get comfortable, cuz it's gonna get hot in here! And remember, no matter how you love or what you love, consent is the most important thing.

Dating has never been easy. The market is over-saturated with expectations from all angles, whether it be from gender, orientation, religion, or societal. And the act of meeting someone new comes with a mountain of pressure, with a lot of trial and error along the way. Acceptance doesn't come easily. But in recent years, another factor has come into play in the dating scene: culture. Once a forbidden concept and an unthinkable ideal, the trend of interracial dating has been on the rise. And in the Land of the Melting Pot, it is only going to keep growing. So join hosts this week as we discuss our experiences navigating this new world where it's not just about the accepting color of your skin, anymore, but about understanding all of the history that comes with it. After all, you can't have a meal without throwing a couple of extra spices into the mix.

America has always been known as the Land of the Free. But that privilege had to be earned through hardships and conflict; through compassion and a growing need for something better. And it had to be fought for. But even then, it was not a battle that had been won for all. And despite the long road that has brought us here, there is still a lot further to go before the title is earned. Before celebrating the Birth of a Nation, join hosts as they take the time to honor two defining moments in time that have helped shape the country we know today. And in the intersection of Juneteenth and Gay Pride Month, they examine what it means to be Black and Gay in a world that would rather see the profit of your struggle rather than the dignity of it. Because the struggles have been real.

It's a social struggle as old as time: what is appropriate for children? Certainly, there are universal beliefs. But with it, also comes varying opinions. And when it comes to molding a young mind, those in charge make no hesitation in deciding for them what should be considered right, and what should be considered proper. But is it, really? From banned books to sexual orientations to the discussion of gender identities, join hosts this week as they examine all that has been done in the name of children, and decide whether or not they benefit anyone at all. Because while there is no mistake that children are the key to our future, it might just be that we're limiting their potential by doing so.

From the bold fashion choices to the height of the Boy Band craze, the 90s and early 2000s were a wild time to be alive, especially if you were a teenager. And Pixar's new movie brings up all of that nostalgia, whether we want to remember it or not. So join this week as hosts discuss the Good, the Bad, and the Controversial of Turning Red while we learn to embrace our Cringe. Because who you are now was built on the foundation of the weird and awkward that you were before. And sometimes, that's okay.

Anyone who has ever had a job in customer service knows that it's a rough deal. The hours are long, the work itself is taxing, and the pay almost never makes up for the stress that it creates. Between customers who don't see you as human, managers who don't respect you, and the struggles of maintaining a presence outside of work, it's a wonder how we got anything else done. But it's also one of the few life experiences that unify us. And it's always a great source of interesting stories. So join our three hosts as we tell stories, air out our grievances, and make peace with the early years of our adulthood. With so much to say, this may become the first of many episodes highlighting the different facets of life in the retail industry. Because, in the end, the Customer is NEVER right. https://hy.page/neetlife Want to chime in on a discussion let us know your thoughts on upcoming episodes 👇
