Episode 251: She Is A Karen And Her Name Is Karen?

Not often does the Movie Madness Podcast dedicate an entire show to a single film. But there is one opening this week that can’t be done justice on the regular weekly review segment. Even one that has to do with justice with a character actually named Justice. Coke Daniels’ Karen with Taryn Manning in the lead role of an overtly racist white women hits so many buttons on the unintentionally hilarious button that Erik Childress and Sergio Mims had to discuss it at length. They go over all the boxes the film hopes to check, discuss how racial trauma is often exploited in film and whether or not the film could have succeeded as a straight comedy. Is this film headed for “so bad it’s good” status or is it just another film we’d just as soon forget about?
