TV Oracle Podcast #14: Poseurs Galore


With Sara rejoining the podcast, the Oracles discuss TV's newest reality series, FX's Black.White. Airing Wednesdays on FX at 10pm EST, this hot-button show takes a white and black family and forces them to live as the other race. Both Oracles agree that the show is a worthwhile addition to the FX's TV lineup, while each has issues with the show's setup and sometimes far-fetched reality conventions.

Speaking of far-fetched, the Oracles take a look at the new film She's the Man, starring Amanda Bynes in a loose adaptation of William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. As Shakespeare spins in his grave, the Oracles take a no-holds-barred approach at film criticism. Let the bloodletting begin.

Finally, this week's DVD segment is Sam Mendes' Jarhead.
