Episode 13: Noose-Chucks
Within Our Gates
04/16/21 • 117 min
In this episode our hosts take a different direction, they don't even introduce themselves, we find them in mid-conversation and from there touch myriad of topics such as how movies like The Photograph are just lame social mobility pieces for a small group of Black folks, the beauty of Black support, Spike Lee's Bamboozled, movies we're horrified that are coming out, the Oscar front runner Nomadland and how it caters to white liberal poverty tourism. Check it. We go in and take no prisoners while also having a lot of laughs.

This episode we are extremely happy to have first-time guests Nina Monei (@wildfonts) and Keyma with us to talk about the Netflix film CUTIES. We touch on the discourse around it and talk about how Anti-Blackness has once again found its way into the cinema that is supposed to represent us.
Show Notes:
You’re right to be outraged by Netflix Cuties, but “canceling” it won’t help https://metro.co.uk/2020/09/11/cancelling-netflix-cuties-wont-help-13257834/?fbclid=IwAR1Yo_5kGsq1PuJYOLY70xDZ8XXZsSKYFpbuxE9k8X_L7ryS9AX6cpqYi04

This week Adam and Mtume go further down the Americana Road, looking at "lost" 1970's film Joe, a film Mtume calls "a fascinating failure" as well as current films American Skin and One Night In Miami where we analyze the conversation around Americanness in movies.
