Get back jack and cut us no slack. We're hopping on our hogs and talking about the Darktown Strutters (AKA Get Down & Boogie), one of the most madcap blaxploitation flicks ever made. Come with us as we follow Syreena (Trina Parks) as she looks for her momma; uncovering a web of intrigue that involves prominent leaders in the community, cloning, and fried chicken. You won't believe your ears.

Probably a good reason why it's not out on legit DVD - you'd NEVER get away with 95% of what's in this movie, nowadays.
The 'N----r Alarm' is what was referred to in the police station.
Yeah, I almost included audio from that scene but wasn't sure how offensive (or not) it would be considered nowadays. I also thought it'd undercut what Trina was saying in terms of her being kind of offended at the scene. I'm curious if that scene or audio bits were in the TCM broadcast.
I kept in the bit from the minstrels at the end of the show though it's not exactly clear that they're minstrels since it's audio-only.
