We got together to record a special cathartic conversation about the city we record from and what is happening here. While we normally spend our time talking about Black films and their impact and representation of us, we could not stand by and not speak on our city and the injustice and insanity that we are witnessing. With moments of levity and seriousness, we get into our feelings on our beloved Baltimore.
