He uses this framework as a way to critique the franchise's white-washing of the pop-culture science fiction landscape, as well as it's clumsy handling of the topic of slavery.<p> Devin is a musician who releases albums under the stage name Debonair Status. His most recent release, 'Black Genderfluid Depression Jamz, Vol. 563' is available now.<p>   Time Stamps:<p>   01:10 \u2013 Opening Set from KJ Whitehead\u2019s Haggard Unicorn<p> Mentions of Mo Less, Star Wars, The Collaboraction Theatre Company<p> 10:31 \u2013 \u201cI moved to Chicago in 2015\u2026\u201d<p> Mentions of Improv, Sketch Comedy, The Sound of Music, \u2018My Favorite Things\u2019, Juicy J<p> 14:32 \u2013 \u201cI\u2019ve never thought of myself as a comedian\u201d<p> Mentions of iO, Second City, \u2018Who\u2019s Line Is It Anyway?\u2019<p> 16:49 \u2013 Exposure is a Scam<p> Reference to \u2018Quitting Comedy Clubs\u2019 from \u2018What Alive People Do\u2019, by Jamie Kilstein<p> I do not support or endorse Jamie Kilstein in any way<p> https:\/\/jezebel.com\/progressive-performer-jamie-kilstein-ousted-from-citize-1792945836<p> 18:15 \u2013 Introvert Tendencies<p> 19:35 \u2013 Music Production Background(s)<p> Mentions of George Carlin, Richard Pryor<p> 21:25 \u2013 Moving<p> Mention of Notre Dame, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Aurora, Illinois<p> 22:35 \u2013 \u201cDo you consider [this] stand-up?\u201d<p> Mentions of Alt Comedy, Libertarians, Brother Nature, Napkins<p> 24:39 \u2013 \u201cMy comedy is lazy\u201d<p> 25:08 \u2013 \u201cI always want to make being thoughtful cool\u201d<p> Discussion of the term \u201cSocial Justice Warrior\u201d<p> Mentions of Black Lives Matter, Alt-Right Trolls, Common Sense Gun Laws, Police Reform, Philando Castile, Being Edgy, Labels, KJ Whitehead, Trans Comedians<p> 32:08 \u2013 \u201cGetting into your set\u201d<p> 32:35 \u2013 Shock Humor vs. \u201cEdgy\u201d<p> Mentions of \u2018The Prestige\u2019, Dave Chappelle<p> 34:03 \u2013 Why Was Dave Chappelle\u2019s Audience Laughing?<p> Mentions of The Chappelle show, Ashy Larry, \u20188:46\u2019, Netflix, Louie CK<p> 37:28 \u2013 Getting into the Set (For Real This Time)<p> Mentions of Patton Oswalt, \u2018Parks and Rec\u2019<p> 38:03 \u2013 Breaking the Fourth Wall<p> 39:15 \u2013 Reviewing Star Wars Episodes VI through IX<p> Mentions of J.J.
