EPISODE 063: #fallsonloveremembers: Nic + Maya on Incognito: A BET Arabesque Original Film

05/28/21 • 46 min

Joining me this week is an avid reader I met in these tweets, Maya. She and I discuss Incognito, a Francis Ray novel, that was adapted for a made-for-television film. We not only discuss the movie, but the casting, the importance of a dark skinned lead, and other general thoughts about seeing this sort of content on television in modern times. I tried to put Maya on the spot by asking what adaptations she'd like to see and she turned the tables on me! Listen to hear how that all went down, haha!

Joining me is avid reader and sports maven, Jaleesa. This conversation is all over the place, but mostly centered on Fire & Ice, a Carla Fredd novel that was adapted to a made-for-television film and played on BET back in the day. Join us as we discuss how impactful seeing these films were on us, the brilliance of the casting, bits and pieces of the plot, & then I put Jaleesa on the spot as I ask for some of her dream adaptations.

Yoooooo, chopping it up with the homie, author Katrina Jackson, discussing Indigo by Beverly Jenkins. As is the custom of this show, we meander a bit from the book in specific to speak to the greatness that is Ms. Bev, the progressive integrity that is housed within her work, the reverence for which she treats the material within historical contexts, and just have a gool ol' time chatting it up.
