If you can lead with kindness and clarity, that's what sticks.” “Sundance is where you see the future of storytelling take shape, and this year's slate is no exception.” Resources: Carolina Groppa's Podcast: Angle on Producers Carolina's IMDb: Carolina Groppa Carolina on Instagram: @carolinagroppa Learn more about the Sundance Film Festival: Sundance 2025 Highlighted Sundance Films: Sorry Baby: A heartfelt indie produced by Pastel, Barry Jenkins' company Dead Lover: Directed and written by Grace Glowicki, featuring Ben Petrie, and described as “genre-bending and unforgettable” Lose: A poignant drama set in Hong Kong about a man searching for his daughter Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram Send us an email with questions or feedback: podcast@nofilmschool.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Dear Mama, Stop waiting for the big moment.  Celebrate now.  Celebrate the big things, the small things, the major milestones and the minor ones even if they're only meaningful to you, even if they come much later than you expected.  Instead of judging the journey, rest in gratitude.  Our celebration is a thank you to God, Spirit, the universe, the ancestors, the orishas, the angels and our very own souls  for all they've done, for clearing our path, for holding us, standing with us, carrying us. We celebrate this 50th episode.  We are grateful to you and most of all we are grateful for the journey and we trust the expansion that lies ahead.  ✨

Following last week's phantom racist incident at the BYU-Dule volleyball match, South Carolina women's basketball Dawn Staley unilaterally decided that playing BYU posed too much of an emotional threat to her players and canceled a home and home series with the Cougars. Jason says Staley's emotional tantrum was nothing more than self-serving virtue signaling. “The truth is Dawn Staley canceled South Carolina's women's basketball series with BYU to embarrass the Mormon institution and elevate her own profile. It was not a well-thought-out decision. It was emotional and manipulative.” Jason argues that following the senseless murder of Eliza Fletcher in Memphis, Staley should also cancel her series with the Lady Tigers. After all, there's abundant evidence that the city of Memphis is more than emotionally hostile to young black women, and people in general, it's actually deadly. “There's actual proof that the city of Memphis is unsafe for young black people and people in general. The city's murder rate rivals Chicago's and St. Louis'. Last year, the mid-sized city recorded 346 murders.” The First Lady of Fearless, Shemeka Michelle and T.J. Moe join Jason to discuss the black, gay privilege that gives Dawn Staley the autonomy to cancel an entire university and its fanbase and exposes the hypocrisy following an alleged racist incident involving South Carolina fans. Delano Squires stops in to discuss the rising trend of violence among teenage girls and how the female empowerment movement is to blame. Wednesdays mean Tennessee Harmony. Pastors Anthony Walker and Virgil Walker join Jason and Shemeka to review the movie “Honk For Jesus” and the uncomfortable mirror it holds up to the black church. Learn more about your ad choices.

Don't worry, darling — Breakfast All Day is back. And Alonso is recovering and feeling perky just in time to talk about whether Harry Styles actually spit on Chris Pine at the Venice Film Festival. Also in news, he and Christy discuss the movies premiering at Telluride, new trailers for “White Noise” and “Empire of Light,” accusations against Arcade Fire's Win Butler, and Rob Schneider saying he'll toss away his career for his beliefs, whatever that means. We also catch up with a review of the satire “Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul.,” featuring excellent performances from Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown. And over at our Patreon, we finally recap the season 2 finale of “Only Murders in the Building” as well as episodes 2 and 3 of “She-Hulk.” Thanks for your patience!

Honk for Jesus, Save Your Soul is a satirical dark comedy and mockumentary about Trinitie Childs, (Regina Hall) the “First Lady” of a Southern Baptist mega church and Lee-Curtis Childs, (Sterling K. Brown) her pastor husband. The pastor is accused of sexual misconduct and the two are struggling to relaunch their megachurch in the face of the controversy. As part of their public relations campaign, Trinitie and Lee-Curtis consent to a documentary crew following them. Adamma was the writer and director of the film, and her twin Adanne was one of the producers of the film. The sisters have been partners their entire life, and enjoy working together. They grew up southern Baptist in Georgia, immersed in the megachurch culture. Both Adamma and Adanne felt that any evangelical megachurch's messaging seemed insincere and un-Christian to get rich off of their congregants' donations. With that background, Adamma decided to write a satire about a black southern megachurch- a fresh subject that she'd never seen on screen before. Honk for Jesus, Save Your Soul started out as a short film that Adamma was able to develop into a feature. Cinematographer Alan Gwizdowski (nicknamed Gwiz) took over the production when fellow DP Adam Bricker had a scheduling conflict. Adamma wanted the film to look and feel very much like a real documentary, mixed with a more cinematic, narrative film look. Gwiz knew they needed the two different worlds to be separated- the part of the documentary that the Childs want the “filmmakers” to see, vs. what the documentary filmmakers are able to capture behind the curtain. They decided to keep the more illicit documentary scenes handheld and the official documentary scenes had a more cinematic look. Honk for Jesus, Save Your Soul is in theaters and also streaming on Peacock.

On this week's episode, we discuss the controversy regarding Child Abuse allegations around Tiffany Haddish and Ariel Spears filming an inappropriate skit with a then 7 year old boy. Then, we discuss the recent release of the Peacock film Honk For Jesus, starring Sterling K. Brown and Regina Hall. 

In 2017, Girls Trip the movie brought in a staggering $140 million at the box office. It was a star-making moment for Regina Hall, two decades in the making. She has played memorable roles in The Best Man, Scary Movie, Think Like A Man, and last year's Nine Perfect Strangers. Now she is starring in an acclaimed new movie Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul. in the same year she co-hosted those unforgettable Academy Awards. In this week's "Sunday Sitdown," Willie Geist sits down with the actress to talk about her latest role and the path that got her here.

"Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul" premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, where it received good notices for Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown's satirical performances as a husband and wife team running a modern-day evangelical church. The two of them were kind enough to spend a few minutes chatting with us, followed by another brief conversation with the film's director, writer, and producer, Adamma Ebo, and her co-producer (and sister) Adanne Ebo. We hope you take a listen down below and check out the film, now playing in theaters and streaming on Peacock from Focus Features. Thank you, and enjoy!

In the aftermath of a huge scandal, Trinitie Childs (Regina Hall), the first lady of a prominent Southern Baptist Mega Church, attempts to help her pastor-husband, Lee-Curtis Childs (Sterling K Brown), rebuild their congregation. The film is written and direct by Adamma Ebo.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5939723/advertisement

In the movie Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul., a Southern Baptist megachurch has been rocked by a lurid scandal. The always delightful Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown star as the first lady and pastor of the church, who must reopen their doors and woo back their former congregants. The satire is framed as a mockumentary that dives into Black Christian culture, a marriage on the rocks and the politics of faith.

When George Miller's THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier in the year, it was met with some pans, some shrugs, and some raves (including a six-minute standing ovation). Most agreed, however, that it was an unexpected departure from a director whose previous film was "Mad Max Fury Road." An intimate and intellectual dialogue-driven drama between stars Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba for much of its runtime, it occasionally blossoms into a fantastic, millennia-spanning tale. While both Adam and Josh admired much of what Miller was attempting, only one of them managed to get and stay on the director's eccentric wavelength. That review, plus Josh's review of the new comedy HONK FOR JESUS. SAVE YOUR SOUL, and the fifth film in the Summer of Stanwyck Marathon, Howard Hawks' BALL OF FIRE (1941), with Barbara Stanwyck as a worldly showgirl who goes into hiding with eight buttoned-up bachelor academics (including Gary Cooper). 0:00 - Billboard 1:11 - Review: "Three Thousand Years of Longing" 28:32 - Review (JL): "Honk For Jesus.

Director: Adamma Ebo Screenwriter: Adamma Ebo Starring: Regina Hall, Sterling K. Brown Runtime: 102 min Synopsis: As the proud first lady of a Southern Baptist megachurch, Trinitie Childs carries immense responsibility on her shoulders. Her church, Wander To Greater Paths, once served a congregation in the tens of thousands, but after a scandal involving her husband, Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs, forced the church to close temporarily, Trinitie is struggling to manage the aftermath. Now Trinitie and Lee-Curtis must rebuild their congregation and reconcile their faith by all means necessary to make the biggest comeback that commodified religion has ever seen. *Originally part of MTR's Sundance 2022 Coverage  Snapshot Review: Written and directed by Adamma Ebo, Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul, pulls viewers through the side door of the church for a behind-the-scenes look at a ministry in crisis and a marriage at a crossroads. Inspired by the real-life fall from grace of megachurch pastor Eddie Long amid accusations of sexual misconduct, Honk for Jesus goes deep in its bag for a biting commentary on the parasitic relationship between megachurches and the Black community, deification of religious leaders, denial, rejection of the self, and trying to hold on to success at any costs. Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs (Sterling K. Brown) and First Lady, Trinitie (Regina Hall) are in dire need of some good press. They've lost their standing in the community. Amid public scandal, their congregation fled. Now former parishioners, Keon and Shakura Sumptor (played with by Conphidance and Nicole Beharie) reign supreme and they have no intentions of stepping  aside. In the hopes of revitalizing their image as they plan a grand re-opening, the Lee-Curtis hires a documentarian. But what's intended to be a record of their celebratory return, swiftly takes a turn. Because that scandal upended the delicate balance of this couple's complicated marriage arrangement too. Unlike the majority of feature films taking aim at religious institutions, Ebo's dark satire presents (partially) as a mockumentary. It's a choice that allows the implied (scandal) narrative to work in tandem with an intimate fly-on-the-wall portrait of a partnership under stress. Offering this narrative up as “story within a story,” is a savvy way to lean into the messiness that is church communities, while keeping the story accessible to a wider audience. Read that back one more time, Honk For Jesus. Save Your Souls is a movie with a specific audience in mind, but everyone is welcome to partake. Just know Ebo's storyline relies on the kind of sly references, call and response mentality, and church-folk banter that are the hallmark of many a Southern Baptist household all specifically designed to work on multiple levels. If you let it, in between laughing at moments of sheer outrageousness, Honk For Jesus will greatly inform your understanding of Black culture, community, and its complicated relationship with religious hypocrisy and the gospel of prosperity.    A subtly building tension between Lee-Curtis and Trinitie sets the stage for a nuanced take on partnership, love, marital sacrifice and betrayal. Hall and Brown have a kind of chemistry a relationship under pressure needs to sell such over the top characters like Lee-Curtis and Trinitie. Individually and collectively the pair set the tone and masterfully control the ebb and flow of the storyline that deliberately speaks around complicated issues. Juxtapose with the more composed - but no less engrossing - dynamic of rival pastors played with a mesmerizing poise by Conphidance and Nicole Beharie Honk for Jesus offers a not-so-quiet commentary on complexity of morality. Thankfully, Ebo deftly dovetails the more serious moments with the kind of insightful comedic edge that balances rather than breaks that tension.   As this disgraced couple's relationship unravels, Trinitie unresolved pain comes into sharp focus,

Kara Durrett is an independent producer who recently produced Adamma Ebo's HONK FOR JESUS, SAVE YOUR SOUL which premiered at Sundance 2022. Kara is the reason I was brought on to HONK as a physical producer and in the process of making that film, she became a bud. She is fun to work with, in fact, she is a great time! (direct quote from Kara!) Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown give phenomenally funny performances worthy of an hour and 42 minute of your time. The film premieres on September 2nd in theaters and on Peacock. So excited for the world to see it! Check it out and tell me what you think! Kara also produced Celine Held & Logan George's VANISHINGS AT CADDO LAKE alongside M Night Shyamalan, which is currently in Post Production.  Past productions include Floyd Russ's AYAR, which premiered at SXSW 2021, Celine Held & Logan George's TOPSIDE, winner of both Best Technical Achievement at the 2020 Venice Film Festival, the Special Jury Award for directing at SXSW 2020, and Alex Fischer & Eleanor Wilson's SAVE YOURSELVES!, which premiered in competition at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and sold to Bleecker Street.
