  This month, instead of two separate podcasts, we're exploring our theme through one episode that explores 4 films. Episode 47 tackles the resilient story of A Star is Born, comparing & contrasting the aspects of the story that makes it so resonant that it speaks to the culture 80 years on from its first version.The discussion touches on the four versions; the original, from 1937, directed by William Wellman and starring Janet Gaynor & Frederic March; the 1954 remake, directed by George Cukor and starring Judy Garland & James Mason; the 1976 reboot, which switched the story from Hollywood to the music industry, directed by Frank Pierson and starring Barbra Streisand & Kris Kristofferson. We explore how these three versions fed into the newest version, directed by Bradley Cooper and starring Lady Gaga & Cooper.   We are joined by special guests Collin Souter (film critic featured on RogerEbert.com, and WGN radio co-host, "Monday Morning Movie Reviews".

Episode 46 of Fresh Perspective explores "I Am Not A Witch" (2018), directed by Zambian-Welsh director Rungano Nyoni and starring Maggie Mulubwa. This is part two of our two-part “Girl Power”-themed discussion, in celebration of strong performances by young African American actresses and magic realism in film. This fairytale-like portrayal of a young girl’s struggle to escape the corruption of the Zambian community who wrongly accuse her of witchcraft silently defies scapegoating those who challenge the status quo. Through the mesmerizing performance of Mulubwa, the absurdity of modern-day patriarchal and governmental “witch criers” is revealed and the strength and wisdom of young women to overcome them is never underestimated. Reel Reflections:  What are you tethered to? How do you define freedom? How far would you go to be free from corruption, greed and hatred? Danielle Echols guests, she has a passion for storytelling, film, and writing. In college she studied documentary filmmaking and minority images in media.

Episode 45 Fresh Perspective explores "Beasts of the Southern Wild" (2012), directed by Benh Zeitlin and starring Quvenzhané Wallis and Dwight Henry. This is part one of our two-part “Girl Power”-themed discussion, in celebration of strong performances by young African American actresses and magic realism in film.   Presented in the shaky but imaginative perspective of a child, this film pulses with the life blood of an impoverished and hurricane-torn but content Delta community free of the barriers of civilized society. The heart of the film beats with the will power of a young girl mature beyond her years as she tries to piece together a dysfunctional domestic life with fragmented memories and comes to profoundly understand the nature of life and death. Reel Reflection: If you lost everything and came face-to-face with your primal will to survive, would you befriend or fear it?   Fabiola Auxila (https://instagram.com/just_fabi) guests, film lover, and aspiring script writer and producer, studying at the Second City for Writing and Film.
