Podcast appearances and mentions of gina prince bythewood

We're cleansing our hearts and brains this week by discussing a very good movie with real, human stakes! What a relief. Gina Prince-Bythewood's LOVE & BASKETBALL (2000) has us cheering, laughing, and appreciating the beauty of sports despite our own personal lack of athletic prowess. Do we question if the male lead proves himself to be a worthy romantic partner? Sure, but those reservations are also connected to the film's thoughtful portrayal of ambition and its evolving nature. We also appreciate any movie which gives us the opportunity to consider the weird cultural legacy of Tyra Banks.       Special thanks to Jess for providing this episode's Juvenalia Encore

The event will be an evening in celebration of Michelle Satter, Founding Senior Director of Artist Programs at Sundance Institute, for her longstanding commitment to nurturing artists and cultivating independent film through the Sundance Labs, where visionary artists convene to develop groundbreaking projects through an in-depth creative process, for the past four decades. The annual Vanguard Awards Presented by Acura will be awarded during the evening to Sean Wang, writer and director of Dìdi (弟弟), and Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie, co-directors of Sugarcane, who premiered their films at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. The annual gala enables the nonprofit to raise funds to support independent artists year-round through labs, grants, and public programming that nurture artists from all over the world. The 2025 event is made possible with the generous support of Google TV. The Festival will take place from January 23–February 2, 2025, in person in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, with a selection of titles available online from January 30–February 2, 2025 for audiences across the country to discover bold independent storytelling.

In this episode of Hollywood Live, Tanya Hart brings exciting news about a potential sequel to the beloved series “A Different World.” The new series, currently in early development for Netflix, is set to follow Dwayne and Whitney's daughter during her time at Hillman College. With the original creative team, including Debbie Allen, Mandy Summers, Tom Warner, Gina Prince Bythewood, and Reggie Bythewood, involved, fans can look forward to a nostalgic and entertaining continuation of the classic show. In the political arena, IATSE, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, takes a humorous jab at J.D. Vance, Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate, over a stage setup mishap. During a campaign stop in Philadelphia, a sign intended to criticize Kamala Harris was obscured, amusingly making it appear that Vance was campaigning for her instead. IATSE, the first Hollywood union to endorse Harris for president, praises her and the Biden administration for their pro-union stance. As the political season heats up, Tanya highlights the fun and drama that come with it. For these stories and more, follow Tanya Hart on social media for the latest updates.

A standalone "spiritual" sequel to TWISTER (1996), TWISTERS tells the story of scientist and storm chaser, Kate Cooper.  Haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado, Kate gets lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi, to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. She soon crosses paths with Tyler Owens, a charming but reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures. As storm season intensifies, Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves in a fight for their lives as multiple systems converge over central Oklahoma. TERILYN A.

Kim Masters and Matt Belloni celebrate the Disney-Pixar film Inside Out 2, which knocked the box office out of its summer slump with a whopping $155 million domestic debut. They also discuss Netflix's latest venture into “immersive entertainment centers.” Plus, Masters speaks to Reggie Rock Bythewood and Gina Prince-Bythewood, two executive producers behind National Geographic's anthology series Genius: MLK/X. The husband-and-wife duo talk about the challenge of dramatizing the lives of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, two towering historical figures who met just once during their lifelong fights for equality.

You definitely know DeWanda Wise from somewhere. She's made a splash on the big and the small screen, in titles like SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT (the Netflix series) and JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION. Now she's starring in the horror film IMAGINARY, which just landed on VOD after being in theaters earlier this year. But if you didn't realize that was the same DeWanda in all of those projects, you're not alone -- and she doesn't really mind. After all, an actor's job is to drop into the emotionality of a character, whatever the world. Today she's feeling seen by the emotionally sensitive May Boatwright in Gina Prince-Bythewood's 2008 film THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES. She'll talk about that, as well as how she uses that emotionality to navigate not just her performances, but also her career in Hollywood.  Then, Jordan has one quick thing about "June Squibb's BEEKEEPER"...that's right, it's THELMA (no spoilers).***With Jordan Crucchiola and DeWanda Wise

Director Blitz Bazawule discusses his new film, The Color Purple, with fellow Director Gina Prince-Bythewood in a Q&A at the DGA theater in Los Angeles. In the conversation, he discusses the importance of sketching in his artistic process, how his background in music prepared him for the film, and trying to identify the heart of the original text in order to do the story justice. The film spans decades to tell the story of Celie, a woman who faces many hardships throughout her life. But ultimately she finds strength and hope in the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood, on her journey to independence.

Welcome to a new episode of the Film at Lincoln Center podcast. This week we're excited to present a special episode featuring the star-studded speeches from our recent 48th Chaplin Award Gala honoring Viola Davis. Having taken place on April 24 at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, the Gala encompassed a joyful celebration of the actor and producer's incredible body of work, featuring notable speakers and film clips, and culminating in the presentation of the Chaplin Award, an annual honor bestowed upon cinema's most outstanding talents. The evening's guest speakers included, in order of appearance, Jayme Lawson, who starred in THE WOMAN KING, George C. Wolfe, who directed Davis in NIGHTS IN RODANTHE and MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM, Meryl Streep, who co-starred in DOUBT, Gina Prince-Bythewood, who directed THE WOMAN KING, Jessica Chastain, who co-starred in THE HELP and THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY with Davis, and, presenting Davis with the Chaplin Award, Steve McQueen, who directed the actor in WIDOWS.

This week we're celebrating the recipient of Film at Lincoln Center's 48th Chaplin Award, one of America's preeminent actresses: Viola Davis, who has dazzled us for over three decades on the stage and the screen, and whose life story is as inspirational as her craft. A couple of days ago, I sat down with Davis to dig into some of the most memorable on-screen moments from her career, and how she shapes her formidable performances by being a keen observer of life. We discussed her iconic turns in Denzel Washington's Fences, Steve McQueen's Widows, Gina Prince-Bythewood's The Woman King, and some deeper cuts, like her early role in Steven Soderbergh's Out of Sight.

The European Central Bank and the Bank of England have raised interest rates again, one day after a similar move by the US Federal Reserve. But amid those big players, Britain seems in particular trouble, with the International Monetary Fund warning it will be the only major economy to shrink in 2023. In the UK, the pain and anger poured into the streets on Wednesday when the country saw its biggest strikes in a decade, with as many as half a million workers walking out, from transport to teachers. There's little light at the end of the tunnel, with a cost-of-living crisis forcing around four million children into poverty. Correspondent Nada Bashir was there on "walkout Wednesday."  Also on today's show: Shevaun Haviland, Director General, British Chambers of Commerce; Stephanie Flanders, Senior Executive Editor, Bloomberg; Gina Prince-Bythewood; Director, “The Woman King”; Yascha Mounk; Author, “The Great Experiment” To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

The new issue of Empire magazine is on sale right now, folks, in all good, evil, and virtual newsagents, and it's a belter. This month's issue is dedicated to a celebration of the greatest actors of all time, as voted for by you, the readers of Empire. It's got everything, from exclusive interviews with Nicolas Cage (our cover star) and Tilda Swinton, to the likes of Tim Burton waxing lyrical about that time he worked with Jack Nicholson on a little film called Batman, and Gina Prince-Bythewood talking about Viola Davis. And that's not all: James Mangold has written an exclusive essay for us, celebrating the incredible work and legacy of Buster Keaton. It's a great issue, and so we've decided to take podspiration from it. So, in this podcast special, Chris Hewitt, James Dyer, Alex Godfrey and Helen O'Hara get together and have a wide-ranging discussion about some of their favourite actors, the art of acting itself, the mythology of the Method, omissions from the list that made their blood boil, and much, much more. Oh, and Helen was patching in to the studio from Northern Ireland, and her audio is a little distorted at times. Hopefully it won't spoil your enjoyment too much. Speaking of which... enjoy!
