This week, The Filmlosophers are venturing into the blocky world of the big screen with a likely painful discussion of the latest video game adaptation, A Minecraft Movie. But the cinematic critique takes a bizarre turn as they address the alarming reports of disruptive behavior erupting in theaters during certain scenes of the film. Plus, they welcome their newest intern, the enthusiastic Intern Jesus, to the team! In this chaotic episode: Minecraft Movie Meltdown: The team will bravely (and perhaps begrudgingly) dissect A Minecraft Movie, analyzing its success (or more likely, its failures) in translating the beloved game to a cinematic experience. Expect discussions on story, visuals, and whether it captures the essence of building and survival. Theater of Terror: Minecraft Mayhem: The Filmlosophers will delve into the strange phenomenon of disruptive behavior during A Minecraft Movie screenings, pontificating on the breakdown of theater decorum and offering their (likely exasperated) thoughts on cinema etiquette. Welcoming Intern Jesus!: The crew introduces their newest intern, Intern Jesus, to the Filmlosophers family! They'll discuss his passion for film, his favorite (and perhaps surprising) guilty pleasure movies, and why his unique perspective makes him a perfect fit for the team. Join The Filmlosophers for an episode that's a bizarre blend of cinematic disappointment, social commentary on unruly audiences, and the welcoming of a new, divinely named intern. It's going to be a blocky, boisterous, and utterly unique discussion! So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's block-tacular episode of The Filmlosophers!

Do you know what the best part of this movie finally releasing is? I NEVER have to see the awful trailer for this movie in front of other films again! A Minecraft Movie has dropped in theaters worldwide and I had the immense "pleasure" of seeing it earlier today. Was it good? Well, what do you think? I definitely had a Minecraft phase when I was younger, but that was over ten years ago and I have not cared much for the game since then. I've always known that making a movie out of it is a dumb idea because the game doesn't exactly lend itself to narrative features. There's a reason there's only been ONE of these games.

Danielle Brooks, nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress following her masterful portrayal of Sofia in the 2023 remake of “The Color Purple,” discusses her journey to the Oscars with host Kai Wright. Brooks was the sole representative at the 96th Academy Awards from last year's film adaptation. The first time novelist Alice Walker's story met the silver screen, directed by Steven Spielberg, it earned 11 Academy Award nominations but notably took home no gold. “The Color Purple” later evolved into a musical, premiering on Broadway in 2005. Brooks stepped into the role of the brazen and spirited Sofia for the 2015 revival of that show, all while playing Tasha “Taystee” Jefferson in the Netflix series “Orange is The New Black.”  Brooks talks about her rise to fame, overcoming impostor syndrome in Hollywood and her next film project, which is quite a departure from projects she's taken on before.

But what is most notable about Sofia is that she will not stand down, even against the backdrop of racism and sexism in the South in the 1930s. Today, actor Danielle Brooks is Sofia for an entirely new generation of audiences, taking on the role for the 2023 musical film “The Color Purple,” and earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Performance By An Actress In A Supporting Role. “Sofia taught me that I have all that I need inside of me,” Brooks tells Notes from America.    In this episode, she and Kai sit down for a conversation about a character who has been instrumental to her life and career.

“I think of ‘The Color Purple' as the epic of our time,” Doreen St. Félix said in a conversation with the actress Danielle Brooks.  While St. Félix admits, “I wasn't convinced that we needed necessarily to have a new envisioning of the story—which has been a novel, which has been a film, which has been a musical twice over”—she finds that Blitz Bazawule's film, which opened at the end of 2023, is different from its stage and screen predecessors in significant ways, reflecting the concerns of its millennial cast and director.  The actress Danielle Brooks has played a critical role in the work's transition back to film. In 2016, the “Orange Is the New Black” star was Tony-nominated for her performance as the no-nonsense Sofia, and she is now earning strong Oscar buzz playing Sofia on film. The transition from stage to film dramatically changed her performance. “Being actually in Georgia, feeling the hot Georgia sun, being on plantations, actually holding a ten-pound baby and having to be careful with that child,” Brooks tells St. Félix, “opens up the world. Now I feel like I was painting with an endless amount of color.” Sofia was the role first portrayed onscreen by Oprah Winfrey, in Steven Spielberg's 1985 version, and Winfrey is a producer of the new film. “Huge shoes to fill,” Brooks says, of Winfrey. “But I feel like she really allowed me to be the cobbler of my own shoe.”
