Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. This week, Emily interviews Emory Douglas, the Black Panther Party's Minister of Culture and revolutionary artist. The episode centers on a retrospective of his work, Emory Douglas in Our Lifetime, on view at San Francisco's African American Arts and Culture Complex. About Artist Emory Douglas: The former Minister of Culture and Revolutionary Artist for the Black Panther Party, Douglas helped define the aesthetics of protest at the height of the Civil Rights era, cementing his status among the 20th century's most influential radical political artists. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, he designed all but one of the Party's newspapers, each issue marked by the artist's bold, figurative illustrations outlined in thick black line and contrasted with bright colors, block text, and photomontage. The clearly rendered imagery, applied to a range of printed media from newspapers to posters, notecards, and pins, became a hallmark of liberation movements around the world, as supporters calling for an end to the oppression and subjugation of Black, Indigenous, and other communities sought to project a spirit of shared struggle through a common artistic vocabulary. Douglas was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In 1951, his family relocated to San Francisco, where he continues to live today. Widely known as an epicenter of radical countercultural politics in the post–World War II era, the city was also deeply divided and segregated, and it was the injustices that Douglas observed as a child that informed his political ideology as an adult. Beginning in the early 1960s, as a student of commercial art at City College of San Francisco, Douglas made frequent trips to nearby San Francisco State University to see civil rights leaders like Amiri Baraka, Stokely Carmichael, and H. Rap Brown speak. He soon lent his talents to the nascent Black Arts Movement, creating fliers and other promotional artworks to advertise events held across the city. These formative experiences solidified his intentions to dedicate his work to the broader struggle for Black liberation that was taking shape around him. In January 1967, Douglas met Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, two young activists from nearby Oakland, who, months earlier, had founded the Black Panther Party (BPP). Black self-determination was the Party's primary motivation, seeking to improve the position of underprivileged people of color in America through “whatever means necessary.” The organization initially focused on an individual's right to bear arms for defense against police violence, but its attention eventually turned to social justice issues like free breakfast for school children and fair housing. Seeking to promote their civil rights agenda to a primarily Black American audience, the Panthers developed a newspaper, the first of which Seale created and published in April 1967. That first issue was simple in layout and design, leading Douglas to offer his expertise in print production, understanding the power that strong visuals could lend to political action. Beginning with the second, he designed every issue thereafter—some 537 newspapers, from 1967 until it ceased publication in the early 1980s. Douglas quickly rose through the ranks of the organization: he was officially named its Revolutionary Artist and, eventually, Minister of Culture, overseeing all aspects of the BPP visual identity. Douglas's familiarity with the print production process was a fruitful asset, as he employed simple tools like markers, rub-off type, and prefabricated texture materials to create his visually impactful designs. To keep costs low, each paper was printed in one or two colors—black ink, often with a contrasting bright color. His illustrations shone a spotlight on state-sanctioned brutality, depicting law enforcement officers and politicians as pigs, while also portraying Black people bearing arms and defeating their oppressors. Some issues featured images of Black suffering, lambasting the political establishment for failing to meet the basic needs of people of color across the United States. Douglas strategically employed photomontage as well, integrating photographs alongside text and illustrations to emphasize urgent issues facing the Party. The impact and influence of Douglas's designs underscored the importance of a consistent graphic strategy in conveying complex political messages in very simple terms. This success was underscored by the massive global distribution of the newspaper and the frequent use of Douglas's illustrations in the political campaigns for organizations like the Organización de Solidaridad con los Pueblos de Asia, África y América Latina, Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, known as OSPAAAL. Despite the popularity of the Panthers' programs and their frequent struggle against the established white political order, the Party was disbanded in the early 1980s. Douglas continues to work as a political artist and activist, producing work that seamlessly translates complex political issues into easily understood illustration, a hallmark of the pieces he produced as a member of the Panthers. His striking figural illustrations connect him to generations of American artists like Elizabeth Catlett, Aaron Douglas, and Charles White, while his combining of type and image draw on generations of political art emanating from across the world, including contemporaries working in Cuba during the Communist Revolution. Deeply bound to American history and politics, his imagery evokes a powerful, globally resonant narrative. For more on Emory, CLICK HERE.

Reece and Bjorn take a deep dive into Spike Lee's Netflix produced Vietnam/Gold Heist/grief picture, "Da 5 Bloods," featuring a blistering, shoulda-been-nominated performance from Delroy Lindo.

We have published 120 episodes since 2019. For this new season, we thought it would be a good idea to look back on some of the highlights of our conversations and select 20 episodes that resonated with veterans, service members, military families, and the civilians who support them.But first up, you'll hear from some of the folks at Home Base who wake up every day with the same mission in mind, no matter what they do at the Center of Excellence in the Navy Yard and beyond. Welcome back to Home Base Nation! For this episode, you will hear a brief conversation with Air Force Veteran and Family Support Team Manager, Stacie Frederiksson, who has worked in the non-profit arena serving veterans and their families for the past 15 years. Stacie served 14 years on active duty in the Air Force as an intelligence officer, supporting flying and space operations, before transferring to the Air Force Reserves, where she spent the last 9 years of her career at USCYBERCOM, retiring in 2016.Following the conversation with Stacie, you'll hear an episode featuring award-winning storyteller and filmmaker Spike Lee, recorded in London, England, in 2019. Home Base caught up with the legendary director before the first-ever Red Sox–Yankees game at the London Stadium. Although we were not happy with the series outcome, Mr. Lee was indeed a lifelong Yankee fan. Ron and Spike discuss some of the history of service by Black Americans and get a preview of his Vietnam War Film, early released at the time, Da5Bloods.Many thanks to Stacie Frederiksson for all her work at Home Base in support of this mission to stomp stigma and treat the invisible wounds of veterans and military families.Run To Home Base: Join Ron and his team and sign up individually or on another team at the 16th annual Run To Home Base on July 26th, 2025, at Fenway Park!

In this episode of our 2024 Spike Lee project we are finally getting together to discuss the last (as of now) feature directed by Spike Lee, the 2020 Da 5 Bloods.

We also talk about its relationship with Miracle at St. Anna, Delroy Lindo's powerhouse performance, crass moments of levity, Chadwick Boseman's presence and much more! Tune in and enjoy!

We're wrapping up our series with Spike's most recent joint, traveling to Vietnam for a cross between Apocalypse Now and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. It's another bold swing in the new era of Spike, but yet again, the balance is all off. When this movie is working, it's a masterpiece, but there's so much of it that feels like a slog. And it's not because of anything fundamentally wrong with the story, just that there's far too much of it, and far too much pontificating on the story itself. For the cast alone, though, it's a shame this got buried in the COVID shutdown, because they deserve heaps of recognition.

What DO violets smell like? Can a movie be “lumpy”? Is Spike Lee's 2020 polemic actually elegant? Could we possibly love Delroy Lindo's performance more? Answers to those questions, plus jokes, plugs, reviews, name calling, and a preview of next week's episode. #teamscottforever DA 5 BLOODS (2020) is directed by Spike Lee and is available on Netflix.

Movie of the Year: 2020Da 5 Bloods...Again! The Taste Buds re-release their hit Da 5 Bloods episode from earlier in the year! It's Da 5 Bloods turn on the bracket, so we're re-presenting the January episode that covered that movie! Da Five Bloods is the first movie by Spike Lee--excuse me, PopFilter Hall of Famer Spike Lee, respect--released exclusively on Netflix, but it doesn't feel like a small movie even if it was destined for the small screen. It is an adventure through the heart of Viet Nam, and perhaps dear listener through the heart of man himself? The movie moves quickly between fact and fiction, history and histrionics, and pathos and bathos. Featuring tone shifts that we have come to expect from life, but not from movies, the film pushes boundaries while being charming, funny, and timeless. One part hang-out movie, one part war movie, one part action romp, it asks what do we take away from war, and perhaps more importantly, what do we leave behind? Tough questions Does Lee's desire for an action movie get in the way of the more emotional and historical points he's trying to make or does he walk the balance between poignant and bombastic? Does Delroy Lindo steal the show, or does he distract from the other Bloods? These are just two of the issues we cover in this episode, dang. It's not for me to be impressed, obvi, but I guess I just am. Let me know if I am out of line here. Silly Season At one point, Mike says, "I was blown away by the performances, I mean, Viet Damn!" Which, to me, seems borderline. I like to stay further back from the edge than Mike, though, so I respect him. As sort of a weird joke I am going to indicate here that Ryan wins this one by the score of 42-34, but also I am going to further indicate that I would think it was funny to just make something like that up.

Spike Lee's "Da 5 Bloods" was released earlier this summer on Netflix to acclaim from critics and then shortly afterward, it only grew in public consciousness due to the lasting power of the film's story, the summer's Black Lives Matter movement and the tragic death of one of the film's stars, Chadwick Boseman. Delroy Lindo, the film's lead, has had a career that has lasted for nearly fifty years and he received the highest reviews of his career for his tormented portrayal of the Donald Trump supporting, PTSD suffering, Vietnam war veteran, Paul. Delroy was kind enough to take a few moments to talk about the recognition he has received so far for the film, his experience reuniting with director Spike Lee, working with Chadwick Boseman in a scene that has taken on new meaning since the actor's untimely death and more!

Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods is the movie of June 2020, and sets the table (25:30) for Av and Sam to consider the most impactful movies ever made about racist police brutality – starting with 1971's Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song all the way through the half-dozen movies released in the last few years. See here for the complete list of 21 movies. Also see here the minute-and-a-half short film that Spike Lee released on Twitter called 3 Brothers — Radio Raheem, Eric Garner, and George Floyd.

Now, more than ever, Craig and Ryan think it's time to stop “now more than ever”-ing and get into the shit with Spike Lee's new joint, “Da 5 Bloods,” a film that, crummy CGI aside, is ridiculously powerful and thought-provoking.

At first the search seems easy–too easy. But soon familial tensions, lingering PTSD, and environmental hazards start complicating the mission. How many of the remaining Bloods will make it back out of the jungle?Plus: Dana and Aisha break down Spike Lee's employment of numerous film techniques, including an innovative use of four different aspect ratios.

We kick off Episode 55 with a conversation on Spike Lee's newest Joint, the Netflix-backed DA 5 BLOODS. The auteur has a lot on his mind - as always - and he employs an ensemble led by the ever-reliable Delroy Lindo to paint the picture. We dig into the mine field and give our thoughts. Our second new flick this week is the Judd Apatow/Pete Davidson collaboration, THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND. The two push each other out of their comfort zones to explore some different terrain, but does it work? We discuss. There seemed to be no better time to unveil our Spike Lee PICK SIX segment. We each rank our SIX FAVORITE SPIKE LEE FILMS OF ALL-TIME. Unsurprisingly, this was not an easy list to trim down and then order. Closing out the show this week for the latest THROWBACK CHALLENGE, is a sit down with Ava Duvernay's 2016 Netflix documentary, 13th. It takes a scalpel to the US prison system and displays some alarming racial injustices that have been deep-seeded for a long time. Much love to you all. Thanks for listening.
