Episode 89 - BlackKklansman & Sorry to Bother You Happy Midterms Eve 2018!!! Mitch invites Justin Viera onto the filmcast to discuss two very political films: Spike Lee's BlackKklansman (11:30) and Boots Riley's Sorry to Bother You (53:00). What are these films are about? What did they do right? What did they do wrong? How much power does cinema have in our culture? How much power do we have to make things less shitty for other people? It's a doozy of a discussion on film, politics, and voting before they recommend some movies and tv to watch (1:53:50). This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
It's hard to coin Steven Yeun's year as "breakthrough" since the South Korean actor has been a figure in the public's eye since his first appearance as Glenn from AMC's The Walking Dead in 2010. But with starring roles in both Boots Riley's Sorry to Bother You and Chang Dong Lee's Burning in 2018, he has all but cemented himself as a leading man on the independent film scene. It's been a long road to get to this point. In the years between the role that made him famous and now, Yeun found himself on set feeling more like a placeholder than an actual human being. In the end, he found that growth stems from self-motivation. For him, this meant taking on meatier projects and ignoring those that were nothing more than a nice paycheck.

It’s Midday at the Movies. Joining Tom in the studio for our monthly look at new films and film industry trends are our favorite movie mavens: Jed Dietz, founding director of the Maryland Film Festival, and Ann Hornaday, film critic for the Washington Post.A recent study finds that nearly 78% of movie reviews last year were written by white men. How does the paucity of diverse perspectives affect the kinds of movies that get made, and which ones become hits? If more women wrote film criticism, would movies be different? Might it speed the currently slow progress in securing more roles for women in front of and behind the movie cameras? Ann and Jed comment on the issue of film critics' diversity, and also offer their takes on some of the new films out in local theaters this weekend, from director Boots Riley's Sorry to Bother You (at the Charles) and David and Nathan Zellner's Damsel (at the Parkway) to Pixar's long awaited CGI action sequel, Incredibles 2 (at the Senator).And as always, they take your questions and comments on the movies that matter to you.And speaking of movies, a note about tonight's special free summer movie event --a screening of Robert Zemekis' 1988 live-action/animated classic, ----Who Framed Roger Rabbit?,---- being shown at 9pm at the Hughes Family Outdoor Theater in Federal Hill Park, part of the American Visionary Art Museum's ----Flicks from the Hill---- series.

In this week's short episode, we sit down with filmmaker and musician Boots Riley to talk about his debut film Sorry To Bother You, which hits theaters everywhere July 13th. Boots recently received Sundance Film Festival's Vanguard Award for the film. Boots talks with us about his artistic and organizing history, discusses how getting a film this is radical produced for mass consumption is possible in a society like ours, and discusses the importance of militant labor organizing in the left’s ability to build power.
