Variety Magazine recently published an article about the ‘You Must Remember This’ Podcast releasing a 6-part podcast series on Song of the South: “In the new season of Hollywood historian Karina Longworth’s acclaimed podcast, “You Must Remember This,” the former film critic delves into the history of “Song of the South” — how it was made, the controversy that surrounded it from the get-go, and how Disney has managed to profit off of the film without ever giving it a home entertainment release.”
