In this special podcast mashup, Dana Stevens sits down with the hosts of Panoply’s new show About Race, Baratunde Thurston, Raquel Cepeda, and Tanner Colby. They discuss Dope, the new drama-comedy from writer and director Rick Famuyiwa starring newcomer Shameik Moore. Does the film succeed at satirizing present-day race relations? Are the intricate plot and array of characters satisfyingly woven together? And what should we make of the heavy final act? 

Listen to them discuss these and other questions below. You can also check out past Spoiler Specials in our archive, and you can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes. Note: As the title indicates, each installment contains spoilers galore.
