Journalist and FANTI co-host Tre'vell Anderson sits down with Cameron to discuss their new book HISTORICALLY BLACK PHRASES: FROM 'I AIN'T ONE OF YOUR LIL' FRIENDS' TO 'WHO ALL GON' BE THERE?'

Cùng host Quang Lộc trò chuyện với Võ Điền Gia Huy về chặng đường làm nghề và những dự án sắp tới của nam diễn viên

Elle Woods is an iconic character, but not an obvious one from Tre'vell  Anderson, author of the new book, We See Each Other: A Black. Trans Journey Through TV and Film. Leave it to the effervescent Tre'vell to bring their signature FANTI gray-area mindset to their Feeling Seen character choice! In this episode, Tre'vell and Jordan look at what it is about Elle Woods that offered Tre'vell a glimpse of what they could be...and consider if future generations of Black, trans folks might be able to feel seen without much mental gymnastics.

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the WGA strike.

We’ve all seen screen portrayals of people with mental illnesses and we’ve all seen ones that miss the mark pretty badly. Someone has a vague sense of “crazy” about them so they turn into an evil sadist. A motel manager in the rather broadly titled film “Psycho” dresses up as his dead mother and murders a guest in the shower. Or someone just hamming through an over the top performance as a person with multiple personalities.

In this episode, we blow the whistle on some stuff like that but we also recognize some artists who go the extra mile to create portrayals of mental illness that are truthful and integral to the story. We have two sharp-eyed pop culture watchers with us and some guest commentators from our Preshies group on Facebook.

The sublime Jarrett Hill (FANTI podcast) is our latest Boy of Summer, and with him comes further tales of Fairfield, CA (no cow-tipping here!) the glorious mystique of Prince, the importance of reflection and analysis, and N-A-C-H-O-S!

Before he was a podcast host, radio personality, or a journalist breaking major political news, Jarrett Hill was a kid growing up gay in a religiously conservative environment. So when it was time to come out, it meant defying the homophobic words of his pastor who had urged parents to not let their kids grow up to be “sissies”. He had first started seeing therapists as a result of his parents’ protracted divorce and went intermittently over the years. Finally, with the help of a particularly observant therapist, he put it together that a pattern of thinking and behavior he had experienced was, in fact, major depressive disorder.

Jarrett Hill has found that the most helpful therapist for him is a woman of color. He was used to opening up to women in his life more than men and having a person of color meant that his therapist would know what he’d been through and believe him. Dr. Ksera Dyette, who is a therapist and sought help herself, talks about how safety itself is at stake in a search for people who share your cultural experiences. She offers advice on how she screens potential therapists and the difference it makes.

Listen to Jarrett's podcast with Tre'vell Anderson, FANTI, here or wherever podcasts are found. Follow FANTI on Twitter @fantipodcast, follow Jarrett Hill on Twitter @JarrettHill and on Instagram @jarretthill, and visit Jarett's website here.

Max Fun Podcast Crossover Alert! It’s the delightful Tre’vell Anderson (Fanti), who indulges JV’s Model U.N. fascination, talks current events (wow, what a month June has been!), and about finding your way to yourself.

This week, we're talking all things RuPaul.

That's right. We're keeping the same energy for all of the icons. There's no denying the impact that RuPaul Andre Charles has had on the world of drag. He's carried drag into the mainstream in six-inch stilettos and challenged the status quo with every step. We Stan a living legend.

 Not to mention the fact that half of the internet is powered by RuPaul's Drag Race reaction gifs.

In this episode we'll seek to separate Mama Ru the icon from RuPaul Andre Charles the shrewd businessman whose choices on and off his hit VH1 show can be at times questionable. Is RuPaul transphobic? Is RuPaul a fracker?

We'll get into all of that and more on an all-new episode of FANTI!

DIS/Honorable Mentions

Jarrett starts things off with a dishonorable mention to allergy season with its rude ass.

Also, a DIS/Honorable mention to contestant Sarah Jett Rayburn on “Jeopardy!” after she failed to correctly respond to a clue about early 1800s warrior leader Shaka Zulu instead opting to answer with Chaka Khan.
 

And lastly, Jarrett would like to give an honorable mention to everyone out there who is having a difficult time during COVID-19. Whether you are sheltering at home or an essential worker, you are not alone and there are resources out there if you need assistance.

This week, Tre'vell side-eyes ESPN with a dishonorable mention for their tone-deaf infographic for NFL Draft pick Tee Higgins. Put some respek on Mom, Camilla's name. We're also dishonorably mentioning the current controversy surrounding Land o' Lakes butter. 

An honorable mention goes out to content creators with a shout-out to YouTubers Terrell Grice and Zachary Campbell for helping us momentarily escape...all this.

Sometimes the people, places, and things we love don't love us back. We're fans, but we also have some ANTI- feelings toward them. Every week on FANTI, journalists Tre'vell Anderson and Jarrett Hill bring their pop culture and political expertise to things we must stan and stand up against. FANTI is a place where nuance reigns supreme with energetic, complicated, and sometimes difficult conversations that bring deep knowledge and thoughtful perspective to the things we love and rage about, from the White House to the Real House(wives).

Coming soon to Maximum Fun.
