Vincent and Len marvel at THE LIFE AND CRIMES OF DORIS PAYNE, an 80-year-old jewel thief on absolutely unrepentant glory. But first they partake in recasting of Sinners circa the 90s, suggested by a listener, and unveil a new feature dedicated to celebrating the under-celebrated Black actresses of yesterday and today - With/And - beginning with Fredi Washington, who lived anything but an Imitation of Life. Six Degrees of D'urville Martin connects the blaxploitation legend with Hollywood burglars Cary Grant and Michael Madsen.

| Jar Jar’s Long Hollywood History | The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks | 26 Jul 2023 | 00:38:33 | |
This week, we’re sharing an episode of The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks, a new podcast from the TED Audio Collective. It’s a six-part series that reckons with one of the most divisive characters in cinematic history, the online hatred he inspired, and what we can learn from it today. In this episode, host Dylan Marron goes beyond the fandom backlash and goes into some of the deeper questions about the character. Why did many see Jar Jar as a racial stereotype? What does that say about Jar Jar’s place in the world of Star Wars and Hollywood history overall? And how did all of the frenzy affect the actor who brought the character to life?

| From The Class of 1989: Ladies First and Last | 20 Mar 2023 | 00:28:44 | |
Please enjoy another episode from our miniseries The Class of 1989! 1989 was not the year of the Black woman in film. The Color Purple was one of the few feature films in the 80s that centered on Black women, and it wouldn't be until 1992 that a Black woman would get theatrical distribution directing a film about Black women. Just like Anita Hill is often credited for the 1992 election being deemed 'the year of the woman,' what seeds were planted in '89 that inspired or provoked Black women directors in the next decade? Listen to this episode here, then head on over to The Class of 1989 feed for more. Listen here: https://link.chtbl.com/-VGEVibH Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
