Paul and Corey Cross the Streams is a bi-monthly podcast in which hosts Paul Pakler and Corey Pepper watch and review streaming content. It’s the Great American Podcast where two friends learn about life as they float down the river of streaming services.

Welcome to Season 7!

As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?”

This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years.

It’s a big discussion today. Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon (2023). Adapted from the nonfiction book of the same name, the film opens up a discussion of the consciousness-raising of the 2010s. Paul and Corey have a fairly in-depth discussion of the over four hundred years genocide of the Indigenous people’s of the Western hemisphere (most specifically what became the United States of America) and their resistance and struggle throughout that period (and up to today). Much of the information comes from Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz’s book, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States. There is a LOT to cover.

It’s an excellent film with incredible performances, score, editing, and representation and celebration of the Osage nation’s culture.

Enjoy.
