Throughout time, you may go back and watch a movie that you loved as a child, but now, it plays differently to you. There's something that feels uncomfortable; something has changed. If you watch Coming to America , National Lampoon's Vacation , Dumbo , Peter Pan , and many other popular films, you'll find examples of racism, sexism, and homophobia. This hour, we explore how perceptions of art -- particularly of films -- evolve over time. Our guests: Jack Garner, longtime film critic Lester D. Friedman, professor and former chair of the Media and Society Program at Hobart and William Smith College, and co-author of Monstrous Progeny Bri Merkel, artistic director for The Little Theatre Jonathan Ntheketha , actor, performance educator with Impact Interactive, and senior assistant director of the Multicultural Center for Academic Success in RIT's Division for Diversity and Inclusion
