This episode is a classic FNGTAC podcast. It is pretty much the template for why the podcast exists in the first place. It's a freewheeling, off-roading, much encompassing conversation the type of which Kamau and Vernon reguarly had before the podcast began. Today begins with a few Twitter hashtags but doesn't limit itself to something as small as what is on the Internet. And this is probably (Kamau says hopefully.) the one and only FNGTAC mention of one Carlos Estevez AKA Charlie Sheen. Also...
* Vernon is tense about a possible Blade Runner remake. * They both go into detail about George Lucas and the prequels. Guess what they think. * They go into geek nirvana by deconstructing the Matrix movies. Guess which 1 of the 3 they liked the most. * They wonder if 20 years after the Rodney King beating we are gettig along any better. * Vernon busts out his adult language. Singularity anyone? * Vernon, once again, has an idea about resurrecting a classic movie franchise. Today, it's Alien.
Yup, a typical episode of sci-fi, police brutality, more sci-fi, and finally #TigerBlood.

In the tradition of epic filmmaking & epic story telling, Kamau has one doozy of story to tell about his last three weeks. And in classic FNGTAC fashion, Vernon takes the conversation waaaaaaaaay off road in a beautiful way. This episode features several epic battles of Good vs. Evil: Kamau vs. Sacramento, Kevin Avery vs. Hollywood, Vernon vs. Hip Hop, Vernon vs. Quentin Tarantino, and even Vernon vs. Apollo Creed(?). And during this epic tale Vernon & Kamau finally have the N Word conversation, and we're not talking about Zen meditation. It took seven episodes for these two black guys to have that conversation. WOW! Maybe instead, they are actually "Far Afield Negroes". This one also features a surprise ending which portends good things to come, and also we finally get to find out exactly what percentage of Vernon that Kamau is. May the force be with them!
