As Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan's most recent collaboration, Sinners, is dominating the domestic and worldwide box office, we thought it would be a good time to look at their first project together, Fruitvale Station. Fruitvale is partially the telling of the tragic story of the killing of Oscar Grant in Oakland CA on New Year's Day 2009, but it's so much more. Beyond being a mere recreation of events and the conveying of the awful facts, the film is a beautiful portrait of a young man who is struggling against a system that is set against him and his own difficulties. In addition to being a star making vehicle for Michael B. Jordan, the film features incredible performances from Melonie Diaz, Octavia Spencer, and Ariana Neal. Coogler and co. received a lot of critical praise for the film which set him up to helm massive projects like Creed and the Black Panther movies for Marvel. Joining us for our look back is Chicago based film critic Zachary Lee who is a regular contributor to Roger Ebert, Letterboxd, Interview Magazine, Chicago Reader, Think Christian, and more. He's been someone we've wanted to have on the show for a while and he did not disappoint.Enjoy the show and share it with a friend!⁠⁠⁠⁠Substantive Cinema Episode List⁠Zach Interviews Ryan CooglerFreaky Tales InterviewZach & Willem Dafoe on The Legend of OchiShoutouts:Queens of DramaThe Ballad of Wallis IslandOur Revolution by Bernie SandersMy Old AssFollow ZachInstagramEverything else!Follow Us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Philip's Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Share Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod

Today on The Movies, I got a double-interview episode! I interviewed the director and actors from COLD WALLET, a new crypto thriller about a group of Redditors looking for revenge against the influencer responsible for scamming them out of a "life savings" level of money. They break into the influencer's home in pursuit of his cold wallet, a USB drive that holds millions of dollars in crypto, with a goal to return the funds back to every fellow victim.First round goes to actors Raul Castillo and Melonie Diaz, who discuss their preparation time, nailing ineptitude as a performer and how surprisingly kind Octavia Spencer is.Second round goes to director Cutter Hodierne and actor Josh Brener, who discuss the kind of character prep built less from the script and more from directorial conversations, the images serving as guiding light for the project and how they affect the movie's overall visual language.COLD WALLET is playing in select theaters and available to stream on VOD.---Please rate, review and subscribe to The Movies wherever you listen to your podcasts!Follow The Movies on Instagram and Bluesky: linktr.ee/themovies_pod

Kim Marsh and Alice Nagle from Fetch the Smelling Salts podcast join Flixwatcher to review Kim's choice Hidden Figures. Hidden Figures (2016) is loosely based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Margot Lee Shetterly. It tells the incredible true story of the biographies of three African-American women who worked as computers to solve problems for engineers and others at NASA. Directed by Theodore Melfi it stars Taraji P. Henson as Katherine Goble Johnson, Octavia Spencer as Dorothy Vaughan and Janelle Monáe as Mary Jackson. Other real life character include Mahershala Ali as Jim Johnson, who marries Katherine and Glen Powell as astronaut John Glenn. In fictional roles it also stars Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst and Jim Parsons. Hidden Figures shines a light on the impressive work done by women of colour in behind the scenes roles. However, there are a number of fictional scenes and several inaccuracies, some that lean into the white saviour trope. Recommendability scores were very favourable despite the historical inaccuracies. Fairly solid scores across the remaining categories give a very respectable score of 4.34 overall.

(Deep Dive begins at 53:00) Were you dropped on your head as an infant? Or were you just born stupid? Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian and Liam (Megs and Kev have gone to bring Georgia home) as we're heading to Jackson, Mississippi to uncover what really happens in wealthy white households in literary adaptation, The Help. This episode, we're joined by special guest author, Juleen as she brings us a film of her choosing for the deep dive treatment. We're feeding each other chocolate pie in our 245th episode as we discuss: Does this film suffer from the white saviour trope? Is unequal distribution of pay between co-stars necessarily a sign of gender inequity Ian shares some of his history degree as he talks American civil rights and the story of Emmett Till Where do Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis sit in the rankings of the great actresses of our time? Why did they feel the need to stuff a romantic storyline in this film and then undercook it? Ian again goes on about narrative sequencing and the importance of enigma establishment and deferred fulfilment Is the babyface turn by Alison Janney acceptable or far too easy of a rescue job? What character motivation floored us in leading to one of the big mysteries being solved?

Mother nature is one of the most ancient pagan deities, and also one of the trendiest in modern times. What gives--why is a character whose name you can literally find carved into primitive rocks also being portrayed by Octavia Spencer in Apple PR campaigns? In this essay, I argue that Mother Earth or Mother Nature represents one of the most natural assumptions for humans to make about the world, transformed by the scientific revolution into something materialist, and now re-made via allegory into something very like the old pagan god. I call it, an "allegregore": a supposedly metaphorical way of talking that takes on a life of its own.

Octavia Spencer (Truth Be Told, The Help, Hidden Figures) is an award-winning actress and producer. Octavia joins the Armchair Expert to discuss being forced to grow up quickly, insecurities around auditioning for roles, and the difference between being nice and being kind. Octavia and Dax talk about being in a comedy troupe together, the time Dax met Samuel L. Jackson, and their fascination with serial killers. Octavia explains why it's important to know your value as an actor, how winning an Oscar changed her life, and why she would describe herself as a hypochondriac.
