Episode 2:
Razorblade Tears
Episode Summary:
In this episode, we dig into Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby—a blistering Southern noir about two fathers, one white and one Black, who team up to avenge the murder of their sons. What starts as a revenge story unspools into something deeper: a raw exploration of masculinity, fatherhood, race, and the cost of redemption.
What We Cover:
- Grief, guilt, and what we inherit from our families
- Queerness, masculinity, and cultural double standards
- The power and pitfalls of vengeance
- Southern identity, violence, and cycles of justice
- Why S.A. Cosby’s voice cuts through the genre noise
