We've got one more chat about Season 2's theme "We Don't Need Another Hero." For our bonus episode we talked about Training Day (2001), featuring Denzel Washington's Oscar-winning performance as a crooked cop. Scholar, activist (and sports dad!) Dylan Rodriguez helped us think through this film, LA politics, and Hollywood copaganda.
Spoilers: Ethan Hawke's punchable face, all cops are crooked bastards, Snoop cameo, LAPD / Hollywood collaborations, NAACP, respectability politics, David Simon, King Kong, Macy Gray, post-9/11 patriotism, Denzel Washington in the '90s.
