It's Day 2 of Shark Week!Today on the show, actress Wunmi Mosaku joins Chioma in the London podcast studio. The two dive into Sinners — from how she landed the role to the powerful lessons she learned while portraying Annie.“My team said, ‘Ryan Coogler wants to meet you for his next film.' And I was like, ‘Ryan Coogler knows who I am?'” she recalls, reflecting on the moment she was first invited to audition. Fast forward to today: Wunmi has earned her first Academy Award nomination and picked up her first BAFTA just last week.Wunmi also opens up about why she chose to announce her second pregnancy at the Golden Globe Awards. “I wanna be present, and if I'm divorcing my head and my body, I'm not really welcoming the baby into this too,” she says, referencing the difficulties of keeping her pregnancy under wraps. “It feels like you're kind of taking them for granted. They're here with you.”Spotting a gap in the maternity fashion industry, Wunmi shares why she decided to launch her own line, Iyadé — meaning “mother has arrived” in Yoruba. She even hints at what she might be wearing to the Academy Awards next weekend. Listen here!The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

We're back with a new Insanity Check episode with Ro. Fawn Weaver is going to Shark Tank because...why not? There's no need for "nuance" in the BAFTA debacle because it's very clear what happened and why it shouldn't have A.I. companies are using your chat data to train their models. OpenAI lowers it's spending on compute target by 50%. It's still a fake number Anthropic vs the Department of Defense...can they both lose? "You have to trust your military to do the right thing" is a crazy thing to say but especially right before the Trump administration starts attacking Iran without Congressional approval "A.I. safety" isn't about the potential of A.I. becoming Skynet but rather the standards and testing of automation based on A.I to make sure things are secure and don't break. A.I. can't and won't do the autonomous warfare crap these people are thinking up but it can still do a lot of damage because dumbasses believe it can Guest: Ro @bookblerd.bsky.social Like what you hear?

In this episode, writer-producer Hilliard Guess and guest co-host actor-writer-prod-dir Dalila Ali Rajah sit down for an educational conversation (we do talk a bit of politics in this one - FYI), with actor/writer/coach and 2026 NAACP Image Award nominee ADAM DAVENPORT, recognized in the Outstanding Literary Work – Journalism category for his essay examining Audra McDonald's 2025 Tony Awards performance of “Rose's Turn.” The piece reframes the performance as a landmark cultural moment - serving as an act of protest, reclamation, and artistic defiance within the lineage of Black women reshaping American performance. The nomination is a full-circle moment for Davenport, as the NAACP was the first organization to recognize his writing when he was in high school. He can speak to the nomination as well as his broader career as a multidisciplinary artist working across acting, writing, directing, producing, casting, and education. A Chicago native and Yale graduate, Davenport is a member of SAG-AFTRA, BAFTA, the European Film Academy, and the Recording Academy. His screen work includes Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (Netflix), for which he received a Satellite Award for Best Ensemble alongside multiple critics' group honors. In 2020, he founded The International Acting Studio (TIAS), where he coaches actors working at the highest international level. Two performers he coached are current 2026 Czech Lion Award nominees, and his clients have appeared in projects including The Brutalist, Dune: Part Two, The Crown, and numerous network and cable series.Read the Essay here:https://www.bronzecommhub.com/blog/audra-mcdonald-took-the-stage-and-rewrote-the-rules

When the film I Swear won three Bafta awards, what happened at the ceremony prompted a much bigger story and wider discussion. The film portrays the life of John Davidson who grew up with Tourette syndrome – the incurable condition, which causes sudden, repetitive sounds or movements. During the awards, Davidson shouted out an involuntary racial slur, which was picked up by microphones and broadcast. In a statement, Davidson said he was "deeply mortified” and that the tics, as they are known, were involuntary and did not carry any meaning. In our conversations, we bring together two black Americans with Tourette's. They share their experiences, including dealing with the police. We also bring together three people in the UK to give an insight into their lives with Tourette's.

Episode 191 - The L Shaped Room (1962) "You've had eight over the eight, you lovely bit of crumpet, you!" Directed by Bryan Forbes and based on the novel by Lynne Reid Banks, The L-Shaped Room is a quintessential example of British "kitchen sink" realism. The film tells the poignant story of Jane Fosset (played by Leslie Caron in a BAFTA-winning performance), a young French woman who arrives in London unmarried and pregnant—a precarious social position in the early 1960s. Seeking anonymity, Jane moves into a bug-ridden boarding house in Notting Hill. Her room, grim and L-shaped, becomes the center of her new life among a community of social outcasts. Her neighbors include Mavis, an aging vaudeville performer; Johnny, a black jazz musician facing prevalent racism; and distinctively, Toby (Tom Bell), a struggling, cynical writer. The core of the narrative focuses on the tentative, blossoming romance between Jane and Toby. As they find solace in one another amidst the squalor, Jane grapples with whether to undergo an abortion or keep the child. However, the relationship is built on a fragile foundation of silence; Jane hides her pregnancy from Toby, fearing rejection. When the truth inevitably surfaces, Toby's struggle to accept another man's child exposes the limitations of his love and the harsh moral judgements of the era. Ultimately, the film is a sensitive character study rather than a traditional romance. It tackles then-taboo subjects—illegitimacy, race, and sexuality—with remarkable nuance. The story concludes on a bittersweet note of independence: Jane chooses to keep her baby but leaves the L-shaped room and Toby behind, departing not as a victim, but as a woman who has found the strength to face the future on her own terms.

John Davidson has tourettes, specifically “coprolalia,” a kind of vocal tic that causes a person to compulsively say socially inappropriate things. His condition exploded into public consciousness, first with a movie based on John Davidson’s life, and then again when John shouted the N-word at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo at the BAFTA movie awards. The unfortunate incident has elicited outrage from defenders of racial justice and the disabled community alike. Many folks online are putting the blame in the wrong place (and there is a place to put it). We can hold understanding for disabilities AND acknowledge the harm this language causes the Black community. Our guest, Jumaane D. Williams, was the first person with tourettes to hold public office. He has served as Public Advocate since 2019, and as Council Member for the 45th District in Brooklyn beginning in 2010. He has passed more legislation than all previous Public Advocates combined. Join our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest-host Reecie Colbert.

The so-called "boy blush" trend is gaining traction, with artists like Sangwon and Bad Bunny wearing noticeable blush on major stages, and teen boys increasingly experimenting with makeup as part of their personal style. A TikTok meme called "baby boo" started with people dancing to a clip that repeats "she gon' call me baby boo" and has since morphed into users calling it "baby boo syndrome." Eric Dane, known for his roles in Grey's Anatomy and Euphoria, passed away on February 19, one year after announcing his ALS diagnosis. Since then, TikTok has filled with edits of his most emotional scenes. At the BAFTA film awards, a guest with Tourette's syndrome involuntarily shouted a racial slur while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were onstage. The moment sparked conversations about the real harm that racial slurs carry for Black people, alongside questions about the awareness around Tourette's and the responsibility of live broadcasting. → Click here to check out the Pour Over Newsletter

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott react to major BAFTA wins for I Swear — including Robert Aramayo taking home Best Actor and the EE Rising Star Award.After previously calling it a “travesty” that Aramayo wasn't Oscar-nominated, Jordan reflects on why this win feels so significant — not just for the actor, but for neurodivergent representation in film.They unpack why I Swear works: it doesn't reduce Tourette's to a stereotype, it tells the story of one human being. The film focuses on John Davidson's life, not just his diagnosis — showing difference without pity, and representation without forcing a message.The conversation expands into a wider discussion about authentic storytelling vs performative diversity, why some representation feels natural while others feel manufactured, and how shows like Malcolm in the Middle, The Simpsons, Stranger Things, Bob's Burgers, and Rick and Morty have portrayed neurodivergent-coded characters for decades without making diagnosis the sole narrative.Note: This episode was recorded before wider discussion emerged regarding a moment during the BAFTA ceremony involving an involuntary vocal tic from John Davidson. We recognise the complexity and sensitivity of the situation. Our discussion here focuses specifically on the significance of authentic neurodivergent representation in film.This episode discusses:Robert Aramayo's BAFTA winWhy I Swear resonates so deeplyAuthentic vs forced representationTourette's, autism, ADHD and coded charactersThe legacy of Rain Man and stereotypesWhy storytelling should centre the person, not the conditionHow powerful representation builds confidenceNeurodivergent “goggles” and seeing ND traits everywhereWhy natural inclusion works better than box-tickingA passionate, funny, and thoughtful reaction episode about film, advocacy, and why authentic representation matters more than ever.Our Sponsors:

The 2008 film follows two estranged soul-singing legends who agree to participate in a reunion performance at the Apollo Theater to honor their recently deceased band leader. The movie stars Samuel L. Jackson and the late great Bernie Mac. Available to stream for free on Tubi.The random topic this week we tackle the complex and difficult incident that unfolded at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards when John Davidson, a Tourette's syndrome activist and subject of the nominated film "I Swear," involuntarily shouted racial slurs—including the N-word—while Black actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented an award.This isn't a simple story. It's a collision of disability rights, anti-Black racism, media responsibility, and institutional failure.What happened: Davidson, who has spent decades advocating for Tourette's awareness, experienced involuntary vocal tics throughout the ceremony. His condition causes coprolalia—the uncontrollable utterance of socially inappropriate words. When Jordan and Lindo took the stage, Davidson's tic produced the N-word, audible throughout the venue.The BBC's failure: Despite broadcasting on a two-hour delay (giving them time to edit), the BBC left the slur in the broadcast AND on iPlayer for 15+ hours. Yet they DID edit out other content, including a "Free Palestine" statement and political jokes. The selective editing reveals a catastrophic failure/purposeful behavior in judgment and priorities.The complications: This incident sits at the painful intersection of two marginalized communities. Davidson has no control over his tics—they represent the opposite of his actual beliefs. Yet Black attendees, including production designer Hannah Beachler, experienced real racial trauma. Lindo told Vanity Fair he wished BAFTA had spoken to them afterward. Host Alan Cumming's apology said "sorry if you were offended" was woefully inadequate.Why this matters for cinema: The film "I Swear" was nominated for multiple BAFTAs and won three awards, including Best Actor for Robert Aramayo's portrayal of Davidson. The movie exists to educate about Tourette's. Yet BAFTA and the BBC failed both the disability community AND the Black community in how they handled this moment.We discuss:- The impossible position both communities were put in due to the BBC's actions or lack thereof- Why institutional preparation and response failed catastrophically- The difference between individual accountability and systemic responsibility- How ableism and anti-Black racism played out in the aftermath (including the idea of "he meant that shit" comments)- What should have happened vs. what did happen- The broader conversation about representation, disability, and whose comfort gets prioritizedThis is a conversation about nuance, compassion, and holding institutions accountable when they fail vulnerable communities.Full Black on Black Cinema episodes coming soon.

On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, we prove once again that reality is undefeated.We kick things off with a story so unhinged it feels like it should be from Florida… but nope — Kentucky said, “Hold my deer.” A 32-year-old man was arrested after allegedly being caught in a roadside situation with a deceased deer. Yes. That sentence is real. Yes. We all regret knowing it. And yes, we break it down in the only way a funny podcast can — equal parts disbelief, sarcasm, and “how is this even a charge?”From there, we spiral (as we do) into a round of Fake News or Florida, where headlines about sword fights in pools and hurricane target practice somehow feel believable. If you've ever wondered how many times Florida residents need to be told not to shoot at weather systems… this is your moment.But it's not all deer chaos and noodle duels. We also dig into the BAFTA controversy involving a Tourette's-related incident that sparked a serious debate about intent vs. impact. It's one of those rare moments where this funny podcast pumps the brakes just long enough to have a real conversation — before inevitably derailing again.And of course, no episode would be complete without:Moon explaining why he listens to educational podcasts at 1.8x speed like he's training for the Mental Olympics.Rock & Roll Hall of Fame arguments that will absolutely upset someone.Concert etiquette breakdowns (stop elbowing people during “Give It Away.” We hear it too.)And a heartfelt but mildly chaotic discussion about going to concerts alone.It's celebrity news, weird crimes, pop culture commentary, music debates, and just enough sarcasm to keep it all barely under control.If you love daily humor, entertainment gossip, ridiculous real-life stories, and a crew that roasts each other as hard as they roast the headlines, this is your new favorite funny podcast.And remember — if you're buying someone festival tickets… maybe get two.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.A mother went missing in 2001.

Today on The Rizzuto Show, the crew dives into one of the wildest entertainment moments of 2026 — the BAFTA Awards controversy involving a Tourette's documentary subject that has the internet divided. Intent vs. impact. Medical reality vs. public reaction. It's thoughtful, uncomfortable, and yes… still somehow a little chaotic because this is a comedy show.Then we spiral (naturally) into a full-blown Rock & Roll Hall of Fame argument. Toto. Huey Lewis. Kenny Loggins. Weird Al. Blink-182. Is the Rock Hall broken? Probably. Are we qualified to fix it? Absolutely not. Will that stop us? Never. Add in Bill Hader's new horror movie, Tom Hanks playing Lincoln, wild celebrity funeral facts, and Moon explaining why listening to podcasts at 1.8x speed makes him feel intellectually superior — and you've got peak Rizz Show energy.If you love funny podcast chaos, pop culture commentary, and sarcastic debates that feel like a group chat with microphones, welcome home.Subscribe for more daily comedy and St. Louis morning show madness.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Amy and T.J. discuss what wasn’t said in John Davidson’s statement after he shouted the N Word at acclaimed black actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo at the BAFTA awards. While it’s true that Davidson - who suffers from Tourette Syndrome - could not control his outburst, it doesn’t mean it didn’t inflict harm. In his official statement, Davidson thanked the public for their support and said he’s spent his life teaching “empathy, kindness, and understanding from others, and I will continue to do so.” But what he didn’t say was “I’m sorry” or even acknowledge the names of Jordan and Lindo - to apologize for the painful humiliation they endured at his outburst.
