In this week's episode, Dutch and Tena discuss the FBI's most covert and evil program, COINTELPRO. The COINTELPRO project was established to wage a war against the black freedom movement. Their ultimate goal was to neutralize "black extremists". However, it is apparent that the program was created to destroy black power and black unity. COINTELPRO never stopped; the government is still using tactics on our people today. Social media and agents of chaos, aka agent provocateurs, are their main tools.Tune in to hear our discussion and review of the Spike Lee-directed film, Blackkklansman. Check out our website:https://www.therealistthevisionary.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-realist-the-visionary--3304218/support.

Send us a textIn the chaos of combat, what truly matters isn't the mission, but the harrowing moments that forever bind soldiers together. "Warfare," the latest from filmmaking duo Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza, strips away conventional war movie tropes to deliver something far more visceral and authentic.Based on Mendoza's actual experiences as a Navy SEAL during the Iraq War, this relentlessly tense 96-minute thriller drops viewers into the middle of a mission gone catastrophically wrong. When two platoons become trapped in a hostile urban environment, what follows is a masterclass in sustained tension and raw emotional devastation. Unlike traditional war films that provide character backgrounds or political context, "Warfare" deliberately avoids explaining why these soldiers are fighting—it simply shows, with unflinching clarity, what happens when young men face the brutal realities of combat.The film's exceptional sound design, crafted by Garland's longtime collaborator Glenn Freemantle, delivers an audio experience that shifts seamlessly between the chaotic cacophony of gunfire to the muffled, disorienting aftermath of blast trauma. Will Poulter leads a remarkable ensemble cast that includes Michael Galfianakis, Kit Connor, and Charles Melton, each delivering performances that capture not just the physical demands of warfare but the psychological toll of knowing death lurks around every corner.What makes "Warfare" particularly significant is how it represents Garland's artistic resurrection following his controversial 2022 film "Men." By partnering with Mendoza and focusing on craftsmanship rather than heavy-handed metaphors, Garland has rediscovered his filmmaking voice. This transformation mirrors other celebrated director comebacks we've witnessed over the years—from Wes Craven's "Scream" renaissance to Spike Lee's triumphant return with "BlacKkKlansman."Don't miss this opportunity to experience one of the most intense and authentic war films in recent memory. "Warfare" isn't just about combat—it's about bearing witness to the moments that forever change those who serve, and the brotherhood forged in circumstances most of us will never understand.Support the show

BlacKkKlansman, l'adattamento cinematografico dell'omonimo libro, in cui l'ex poliziotto afroamericano Ron Stallworth racconta come sia riuscito a inflitrarsi nel Ku Klux Klan, sventando un imminente attentato al movimento nero delle Black Panther. Il film, diretto da Spike Lee, ha vinto il premio Oscar nel 2019 per la Migliore Sceneggiatura Non Originale. Un'inaspettata commedia politica, irriverente e sopra le righe, che attraverso la satira e il paradosso racconta i difficili anni della lotta razziale negli Stati Uniti. 

Sean Palmer, Pam Blair, Zach Gillis, Jason Miller - On March 28th and 29th, we gathered at the Tribune to watch three films that explore dynamics of race in modern America, and to hear from some thoughtful panelists reflecting on the films. Here on the podcast, we're releasing the panel discussions for those who weren't able to join us. We encourage you to first watch the film, and then listen in. Our third film was BlacKkKlansman. This 2018 film from Spike Lee combines drama, comedy, and satire in the creative retelling of a surprising true crime story that reveals much about our country and its ongoing struggles around racism and equality. Our host through the weekend was Sean Palmer, and our panelists for this film were Pam Blair, Zach Gillis, and Jason Miller.  Some Ways to Watch BlacKkKlansman Rent or Buy on Apple TV Rent or Buy on Amazon Prime Rent or Buy on YouTube

On March 20, 1957, director, producer, and writer Spike Lee was born in Atlanta. Born Shelton Jackson Lee, he became an amateur filmmaker by the age of 20 and built an impressive career with groundbreaking films that challenged social and racial issues in America. Lee gained widespread recognition with “She's Gotta Have It” (1986) and “Do the Right Thing” (1989), the latter earning him an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay in 1990. Known for his provocative storytelling, he continued to create impactful films such as “Malcolm X” (1992) and “BlacKkKlansman” (2018), the latter winning him his first competitive Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. In 2020, Lee directed “Da 5 Bloods,” a critically acclaimed Netflix film starring Delroy Lindo and Jonathan Majors.

Life 24x a Second: Cinema, Selfhood, and Society (Oxford UP, 2023) highlights the life-sustaining and life-affirming power of cinema. Author Elsie Walker pays particular attention to pedagogical practice and students' reflections on what the study of cinema has given to their lives. This book provides multiple perspectives on cinema that matters for the deepest personal and social reasons-from films that represent psychological healing in the face of individual losses to films that represent humanitarian hope in the face of global crises. Ultimately, Walker shows how cinema that moves us emotionally can move us toward a better world. Life 24x a Second makes the case for cinema as a life force in uplifting and widely relatable ways. Walker zeroes in on films that offer hope in relation to the Black Lives Matter movement (Imitation of Life, 1959, and BlacKkKlansman, 2018); contemporary feminism (Nobody Knows, 2004); rite-of-passage experiences of mortality and mourning (Ikiru, 1952, and A Star Is Born, 2018), and first-love grief (Call Me by Your Name, 2017, and Portrait of a Lady on Fire, 2019). Life 24x a Second invites readers to reflect on their own unique film-to-person encounters along with connecting them to others who love cinematic lessons for living well.

"One of the most challenging things we deal with is the feeling that it doesn't actually matter how good the work is. As a minority, this is the most defeated we feel. I'm sure our competitors have felt similar feelings as creative professionals, but when you are a minority, it hits differently, and I think it's important to try to understand those differences." — Kenny Gravillis Kenny Gravillis is the Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Gravillis Inc., a Black-owned LA-based design company known for creating iconic movie posters such as Spike Lee's "Blackkklansman," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Logan," and the original "Avatar." His career began with a transition from London to New York, where he found his creative passion in the art department at Def Jam Records. In this episode, Kenny and Simon discuss entrepreneurship while navigating diversity and inclusion within the Key Art Theatrical space. The conversation delves into the experiences of being a Black creative and co-founder of a minority-owned business, and how Kenny's company, Gravillis Inc., is focusing on education to provide more access to the industry for underserved communities. — Connect with Kenny:   LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenny-gravillis-96349a15/ — Learn about Gravillis: Gravillis Website – https://www.gravillisinc.com/ Gravillis Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/gravillisinc/ Gravillis LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/gravillis-inc- — Learn more about Access: A Netflix x Otis Entertainment Certificate Program – https://www.otis.edu/netflix-entertainment-certificate-program — Connect with me: https://zaap.bio/simonclowes  

In our latest podcast episode, we delve into the provocative and timely film, **BlacKkKlansman**, directed by the ever-bold Spike Lee. This true-story adaptation follows Ron Stallworth, an African-American detective who infiltrates the Ku Klux Klan. With performances that are as compelling as the narrative, the film navigates the complexities of race, identity, and America's tumultuous history with a blend of satire, drama, and unflinching honesty.

Few musicians tower like Terence Blanchard. The eight-time Grammy winner has been recording for more than four decades, and though his early work recalls the legacy of midcentury greats, for years now, Blanchard has been remaking and reshaping the genre, turning it into a force to give voice to social change. A trumpeter, pianist, composer, Blanchard has pushed the genre and his own artistry beyond jazz to opera and film scores.rnrnBlanchard began playing in his teenage years with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra. By the 1980s, he was playing with Art Blakley's Jazz Messengers. In the 90s, he began performing solo and working with filmmaker Spike Lee, a collaboration that would include films from Do the Right Thing to BlacKKKlansman. During the same period of time, he began to work in opera, turning Charles Blow's 2014 memoir Fire Shut Up in My Bones into an opera for the Metropolitan Opera's 2021-2022 season, marking the first time a project from an African-American composer was presented from the Met's world-renowned stage.rnrnBlanchard is in Cleveland for an appearance with The Cleveland Orchestra's Mandel Opera and Humanities Festival, where he will perform the music of Wayne Shorter. Before he does, he'll join moderator Jeff Johnson on our stage for a conversation about power and his own artistry and what it means to use music to address social challenges.

Welcome to the Munsons at the Movies podcast. Each episode we delve into the filmography of a randomly selected actor.  In this episode, we explore the life and career of Adam Driver. Best known for his roles as Kylo Ren in the Star Wars trilogy, Charlie in Marriage Story (2019), and Flip in BlacKkKlansman (2018), Driver has built an impressive career in a short time. Joined for episode 100 by five-time guest, Matti Groll, we discuss Driver's impressive military background, the reasons why he has the highest average critic rating of any actor we've covered, explore why Inside Llewyn Davis forced him not to watch his own performances, and marvel at his excellence in dramatic roles. How does he rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.

What are the different ways a filmmaker can ask something of the audience? Chas and Stu are joined by recurring guest Mel in this prelude episode to upcoming episodes on Voice Over and Breaking the Fourth Wall. In this episode, we attempt to taxonomise the different ways filmmakers can ask something directly of their audience. To this end, we identify 4 levers that can be pulled: Diagetic to non-diagetic (in story world to outside story world) Who is talking? From story-teller to a character Whom are they talking to? Themselves or directly to the audience? From when in time is the communication coming? They then take these levers and ask a series of questions, including: What does the communication want from the audience? Does the audience know who's talking? How reliable is the information? How aware is who is communicating of the audience? They then apply these questions and levers to… deep breath… STAR WARS, ROBOCOP, STARSHIP TROOPERS, KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, MINORITY REPORT, CHILDREN OF MEN, NEVER HAVE I EVER, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, STRANGER THAN FICTION, DUNE, OPPENHEIMER, YELLOWJACKETS, HUSTLERS, THE OFFICE, MASTERCHEF, ZOMBIELAND, FLEABAG, PRETTY LITTLE LIARS, THE BIG LEBOWSKI, SPONTANEOUS, BLACKKKLANSMAN, AMERICAN FICTION, AMERICAN SPLENDOR, THE KILLER, VERONICA MARS, FIGHT CLUB, SHUTTER ISLAND, SIXTH SENSE, HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR.

Terence Blanchard Interview Terence Blanchard, born in New Orleans in 1962, is a celebrated jazz trumpeter, composer, and bandleader. Rising from the vibrant musical scene of his hometown, Blanchard's talent quickly garnered attention, leading to collaborations with jazz legends like Lionel Hampton and Art Blakey. His partnership with filmmaker Spike Lee catapulted him to international acclaim, as he composed scores for numerous acclaimed films, including "Jungle Fever," "Malcolm X," and "BlacKkKlansman." Blanchard's music transcends traditional boundaries, seamlessly blending jazz with other genres and addressing social issues through projects like his band E-Collective. He has also ventured into opera composition, premiering successful works such as "Champion" and "Fire Shut Up in My Bones." Blanchard's multifaceted career and unwavering commitment to innovation have solidified his legacy as a pioneering force in contemporary music. Recently, I spoke with the trumpet legend about his life, music, and thoughts on winning an NEA Jazz Masters Award, one of the highest honors for jazz musicians.  You can check out, my article at ​​https://njjs.org/

SynopsisToday's date in 1962 marks the birthday in New Orleans of Terence Blanchard, American jazz trumpeter, composer and educator. “I come from a family of musicians,” Blanchard says. “My father was an opera singer, my mother played piano and taught voice, my grandfather played the guitar. What I wanted was to be a jazz musician, have a band, travel and create music.”Well, he got his wish! Blanchard started piano at 5 and trumpet at 8, playing music with childhood friends Wynton and Branford Marsalis at summer music camps and studied composition with their father, Ellis Marsalis. In 1980, while still in his teens, Blanchard began performing with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra and later Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.In the 1990s, Blanchard started writing film and TV scores and has composed more than 40 of them to date. In 2019, he was nominated for an Academy Award for his music for Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman.He holds major teaching positions and tours with his quintet, the E-Collective. In 2021, his opera Fire Shut Up in My Bones was premiered at the Metropolitan Opera.Music Played in Today's ProgramTerence Blanchard (b. 1962): ‘Ron's Theme,' from BlacKkKlansman Suite; the E-Collective, with a 96-piece orchestra Back Lot Music CD 779
