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
