In this episode of Retrospection Connection, we travel back to the year 2000 to discuss the iconic sitcom, Malcolm in the Middle! Fortunately for me, my new friend, Durel, came to chat with me about the show and, in the process, we unpacked themes of family, the intersection of race and class, what it means to be “gifted”, and making the most out of your lot in life. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have looked back on this classic sitcom and to have made a friend in the process.
