This week, Jack takes an issue with Rosalia and The Weeknd’s new song – ‘La Fama’. The song is a Bachata from the Dominican Republic, yet neither of them are from there. Is it then cultural appropriation? Mike responds. The guys also discuss writer/director Aaron Sorkin’s comments about Javier Bardem’s casting of Cuban Desi Arnaz in ‘Being The Ricardo’s’. Sorkin says, “Spanish and Cuban aren’t actable.” Is he right? Listen to the Brown & Black perspective on all of it.
