1960's exploitation films did so much for the industry, as they created a general roadmap for how to make a commercially successful film. The following decade would bring further proof in the form of “blaxploitation,” a ethnic subgenre that saw Black filmmakers and creatives take center stage in stories that were meant to entertain audiences while also serve as representation in the industry. Although still quite controversial within the community for their explicit storylines, the heros many times were Black protagonists that tried to stick it to the man or shut down criminal enterprises. Given the subgenre's long history, Boston Globe film critic Odie Henderson looked to chronicle it in his book Black Caesars and Foxy Cleopatras: A History of Blaxploitation Cinema. So for our FilmWeek feature, Larry sits down with Odie to discuss the themes and success this subgenre found with audiences and why its impact can still be felt today.

In part 3 of the July – September 2024 installment of UNFOLDING THE CALENDAR, Film Forum's Repertory Artistic Director Bruce Goldstein has a lively, free-wheeling conversation with Odie Henderson, chief film critic of The Boston Globe, about our upcoming festival BLAXPLOITATION, BABY!, opening Friday, August 16, and continuing for a week with 16 genre classics from the early 1970s, including SHAFT, SUPER FLY, COFFY, CLEOPATRA JONES, and much more.  The festival coincides with the publication of Henderson's new book, Black Caesars and Foxy Cleopatras: A History of Blaxploitation, available for purchase at our concession during the festival.  Odie will appear in person at Film Forum to introduce screenings of FOXY BROWN, WILLIE DYNAMITE, and BLACK CAESAR – with a book signing follow Friday night's show of FOXY BROWN. As a young man, Odie attended every single movie in Film Forum's -- and the world's – very first Blaxploitation festival in 1995, programmed by Bruce and pioneering author and film historian Donald Bogle, who also collaborated on the current series.  Justin Simien's 4-part documentary HOLLYOOD BLACK, based on Bogle's book, premiered this week on MGM+.

Boston Globe movie critic ODIE HENDERSON joins us to talk about his new book, BLACK CAESARS AND FOXY CLEOPATRAS: A HISTORY OF BLAXPLOITATION. For this, Odie has programmed two equally stony but very different examples of the film movement that further funkified the 1970s. First, Shakespearean actor William Marshall brings dignity and pathos to the title character of the horror classic, BLACULA from American International Pictures in 1972. (Where would this podcast be without AIP???) We debate how to pronounce the name of BLACULA costar Thalmus Rasulala and Odie explains why Count Dracula is a redneck. Blaxploitation musical interludes, cool Los Angeles locations, and just how scary this classical horror movie really is are also discussed at length. Then Odie chooses the strangest and trippiest Blaxploitation movie of all time for our B-feature with DARKTOWN STRUTTERS (1975), and yes, Bob concedes that it's even weirder than HUMAN TORNADO!!! Which means is pretty f--in weird, stoners. You will want to be high AF for this sci-fi, funk, disco, biker-babe slapstick comedy all mixed together with subversive social satire. It melted all of our minds so bad that we don't even know what movies are going to be in our next episode! The ancestors were definitely telling the filmmakers how much spice to put into this one, and it was a lot. We went long for this episode so it violates our unwritten rule that no episode of OMFYS should be longer than a b-movie, but Odie has a lot to say and all of it was terrific and deep. What do you cut out? NOTHING! In our extended opening segment, Odie explains his personal connection to Blaxploitation and recalls trips to the grind houses of New York's 42nd Street (the Deuce) during his childhood. We also got a great fan letter from Larry Clow and Cory and Odie give him awesome ideas of things to do during his upcoming trip to Los Angeles. Thank you writing to us Larry!

Lindsey Haun and Nick Roth join us for this SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE to talk about their new tubi sensation, HANKY PANKY (2023), a sci-fi stoner comedy where a man and his sentient handkerchief battle a brain-eating hat from another dimension with the fate of the universe hanging in the balance. Nick and Lindsey co-direct and star in this inspired piece of cinematic shenanigans and Seth Green provides the voice of Harry the Hat! You've got hats and hankies flying around on strings, gallons of bright-red blood gushing out of peoples' heads + full-frontal male nudity! Nick and Lindsey dish on the economics of straight-to-streaming horror flicks, while Bob and Philena tell you what to blaze when you watch it--just like we do with our classic films! HANKY PANKY is streaming on tubi and freevee (aka payvee). And since Lindsey played the lead creepy space kid in John Carpenter's 1995 remake of VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED, she and Nick hang out to talk about the 1960 original starring George Sanders, Barbara Shelly, and Martin Stephens. During the segment that spans all things VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED, Lindsey recalls working with The Horror Master (and major stoner) John Carpenter along with her co-stars Christopher Reeve, Kristie Alley, and Mark Hamill. This is a super fun episode and there's something here for everyone. You want NEW MOVIES to get stoned to? We've got you covered. You want black and white movies... We've got that too. And we have 90s horror from a master of genre! We are so psyched to finally talk about John Carpenter here. VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED (1960) is streaming on Archive: https://archive.org/details/village-of-the-damned We also talk about Philena's somewhat secret improv show, swank trick or treating in Toluca Lake, and Nick explains why LinkedIn is the only social media site you need.

Fascism is scary AF but it's always been ripe for satire, so as counter programming to this week's RNC, we're pairing strains with two sendups of strutting authoritarians with THE ANTIFA EPISODE, aka the F--K FASCISM EPISODE. Hitler was named chancellor of Germany in January 1933, and the Marx Brothers spoofed the shit out of him by the end of the year with DUCK SOUP, which is widely considered to be their greatest work. Groucho is Roofus T. Firefly, who is installed on the throne of of Freedonia by wealthy widow Mrs. Teasdale (Margaret Hamilton). The plot hardly matters though, as it's all about the classic mirror gag, Harpo taking an oversized pair of scissors to everything he can lay his hands on, and the stellar word play between Chico and Groucho. Directed by Leo McCarey (AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER) with a surprising amount of musical numbers. FREEDONIA! FREEDONIA! Then we pay tribute to Roger Corman with DEATH RACE 2000, his cult hit about a future fascist America where David Carradine, Mary Woronov, and Sylvester Stallone compete in a coast-to-coast race where they score points by running over hapless pedestrians in their rad muscle cars. Bob saw this at the Redwood City Drive In when he was 7-years-old and it's safe to say that the satire went waaaay over his head back then. Also featuring Martin Kove (KOBRA KAI) and Wendy Dio (wife of Ronnie James), and directed by the great Paul Bartel. Bob also tells you what he really thought of Kevin Costner's HORIZON, beardless Cory reveals the terrible new Paramount logo, Philena blames everything on people born in 1999, and Bob wonders what the hell is wrong with Generation X. Plus, it's FREEE SLURPEE DAY!

Blaxploitation films are known for their Black stars, gritty material, and funk music. When they caught on in the early 1970s, these movies had a ton of style and iconic characters. At the time of their release, they were celebrated for their depictions of Black empowerment but also criticized for perpetuating stereotypes and caricatures of Black culture. The Boston Globe's chief film critic, Odie Henderson, has a new book about the history of the genre called “Black Caesars and Foxy Cleopatras: A History of Blaxploitation Cinema.” He talks to Shirley about revisiting these movies as an adult and the evolving representation of Blackness on screen.

Odie Henderson — Did Blaxploitation liberate or limit Black narratives. Film critic Obie Henderson dissects the electrifying power and problematic legacy of Blaxploitation cinema in his groundbreaking book, “Black Caesars and Foxy Cleopatra: A History of Blaxploitation Cinema.”

On this episode host Michael Azevedo welcomes back Boston Globe film critic Odie Henderson to talk about labor unrest among Hollywood writers and actors.   Both the Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA (the actors union) are officially on strike. The writers began walking the picket line in early May and the 160,000 SAG-AFTRA members voted to go on strike on July 13. Both guilds are very concerned about how they're being compensated for streaming content and about how the use of Artificial Intelligence in movie making will impact their livelihoods.   Odie also shares with us his fave movies so far of 2023 and we chat about two big releases that open this week: Barbie and Oppenheimer. Or, as Odie refers to them BarbieHeimer!   Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 26, 2023 is: consigliere • kohn-sil-YEH-reh • noun Consigliere refers to a trusted adviser or counselor. Originally, a consigliere specifically served the leader of a criminal organization such as the Mafia, but others likened to such an adviser are now sometimes called consiglieri too. // Largely unknown to the general public, she was nonetheless a powerful Washington figure who served as the Senate leader's trusted consigliere and political strategist. See the entry > Examples: “‘Mafia Mamma' is an action comedy about a flaky American marketing employee and soon-to-be empty nester, Kristin (Toni Collette), who, through the demise of her grandfather, Don Giuseppe Balbano (Alessandro Bressanello), becomes the head of a major Italian crime family. Assisted by Don Giuseppe's consigliere, Bianca (Monica Bellucci), she must take down the Romanos, a rival family, while avoiding her own assassination.” — Odie Henderson, The Boston Globe, 14 Apr. 2023 Did you know? If you're a fan of The Godfather series of movies, mention of the word consigliere may already have brought to mind the character Tom Hagen. Hagen, the Corleones' family lawyer, is famously dismissed by the Don's successor and son Michael Corleone because he is not a “wartime consigliere.” The word consigliere comes from Italian and has been a part of English since the 17th century; it was originally used of someone who served on a council in Italy. Currently, it most commonly refers to advisers to the Mafia—a use that first appeared in English in a document from a 1963 session of the U.S. Senate. It is also used more generally for someone who is likened in some way to such an adviser.

It's graduation season. We had listeners call in to share who their commencement speakers were. Michael Curry & Jennifer Nassour joined for a politics panel. They discussed the fallout from the Rachael Rollins scandal, budget talks in Washington, Dianne Feinstein & more… Former Federal Judge Nancy Gertner defended the advisory committee that recommended Rachael Rollins, plus, other court headlines. Jared Bowen returned for an arts roundup. He discussed a sound installation at MAAM and Women & Abstraction at the Addison Gallery of American Art and an auction of Donna Summer's wardrobe. We also got his thoughts on the SCOTUS Andy Warhol/Prince prints ruling and the new Little Mermaid film. Reverends Emmet G. Price III and Irene Monroe offered their perspective on new data showing Americans are switching religions at a growing rate. They also talked scandal at the megachurch Hillsong, and a RNS piece asking whether faith makes a person more civic-minded. Odie Henderson is the Boston Globe's film critic. He just published his 100th piece at the paper, and he joined to discuss that and the summer movie lineup. The New York Times reported that a man sat in first class while his family was in coach. We opened the phone lines to hear from listeners what they thought about this arrangement and first class in general.

Today on Boston Public Radio: There's history in the making with former president Trump being indicted. But is the media going overboard with too much Trump coverage? We opened the lines for listeners to let us know how they're keeping afloat. Harvard labor lawyer Terri Gerstein discussed child labor laws being rolled back throughout the country. Charlie Sennott joined from Belfast to fill us in on the Good Friday Agreement, the WSJ journalist arrested for espionage in Russia, and the consequences of a "Trump revival" for foreign leaders.  E.J. Dionne discussed some of his latest columns on Biden's presidential legacy, being stuck in a "Trump world", and the departure of the chair of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. The Reverends Irene Monroe and Emmett G. Price III on to discuss Pope Francis' illness (and announcement that he's "Still Alive"), Mel King's influence on Boston leadership and whether DeSantis can break Trump's hold on the religious right.  Film critic Odie Henderson will discuss Affleck and Damon's new movie "Air", the dungeons & dragons movie, "John Wick: Chapter 4" and the new Reggie Jackson documentary, "Reggie". We ended the show on a peculiar note — Turkeys. April is mating season for the creatures and we wanted to know about the encounters people have had with turkeys.

Today on Boston Public Radio: We started off the show by asking listeners about their financial concerns following the U.S. bank failures. Jennifer Nassour & Jesse Mermell joined for a political panel and discussed Sen. Elizabeth Warren's comment on Boston Public Radio that made national headlines regarding her support for President Joe Biden's reelection. When asked if she would support Vice President Kamala Harris on the 2024 ticket, she said, “I really want to defer to what makes Biden comfortable on his team.” Soon after, she told GBH News that she “fully” supports a Biden-Harris ticket. Boston Globe columnist Renée Graham joined to discuss her latest columns, from Fox News and Tucker Carlson's “big lies” to growing watching and loving the drag character Geraldine Jones played by Flip Wilson. She would even be allowed to stay up past her bedtime to watch this show. Matt Ruskin wrote and directed Hulu's new movie focused on the two women who broke the Boston Strangler story. He came on Boston Public Radio ahead of the release next week of “Boston Strangler” for a spoiler-free peek into the making of the film. He talks about how he got interested in the story and his respect for journalism. The Revs. Irene Monroe and Emmett G. Price III discussed lawmakers reconsidering the secrecy of the confessional, Pope Francis' statement on celibacy requirements and today marking 10 years since Francis was elected to be head of the Catholic Church. Boston Globe's film critic Odie Henderson talked about the Oscars and getting 16 out of 23 of his predicted winners right. He shares how watching the Oscars brings people together. We wrapped up the show by discussing single-use plastic bags vs reusable tote bags. A new CNN story reports that it takes about 7,100 uses for a reusable bag to be environmentally friendly.

Rebecca Hall's new PASSING takes a more restrained, internal approach to its story about racial identity and the rejection thereof than Douglas Sirk's 1959 classic IMITATION OF LIFE, but the two films share an awareness of how style and subject matter can work hand in hand. We're joined again this week by critic Odie Henderson to discuss how each film balances its messaging, storytelling, and style, after digging into PASSING's black-and-white cinematography, literary source material, and ambiguous ending.

Rebecca Hall's new film PASSING centers on a complicated female friendship defined in part by semi-porous racial boundaries, a thematic throughline that pointed us directly to Douglas Sirk's IMITATION OF LIFE — with an assist from RogerEbert.com critic Odie Henderson, who in his recent review of Hall's film invoked Sirk's 1959 melodrama, citing it as his #3 film of all time. We're joined this week by Henderson to discuss how IMITATION OF LIFE's wrenching storyline about a Black woman's ongoing rejection by her white-passing daughter operates within the whole of a film that has several other plot concerns, primarily those of a white woman played by the film's lone movie star, and how the film's performances and overall heightened style mesh with its messaging about race and class. Plus, we respond to some feedback regarding one of our major problems with LAST NIGHT IN SOHO, and how it plays across the pond.

Talkin' Regina King's new film with Odie Henderson

Odie Henderson writes for Rogerebert.com, Slant, and Big Door Vandalism.  He has been published in The Village Voice, Vulture, and much more.   He is one of my very favorite film critics writing today.  He is totally open and honest in such a refreshing way.  We talk about falling in love with movies, growing up in Jersey, Martin Scorsese, "women's pictures", horror movies, and more.  Check out his great writing on rogerebert.com and other places.

Welcome, one and all, to the latest episode of The Film Stage Show! Today, Brian Roan, Michael Snydel, and Bill Graham are joined by special guest Odie Henderson to discuss Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods, which is now on Netflix. It's an epic, nearly three-hour discussion exploring the consciously dissonant choices of Spike Lee's movies, representations of masculine pain in film, genre tropes as a cinematic narrative shorthand, the greatness of Delroy Lindo, the process of thoughtful criticism and incorporating film history, and more.

Recenzuję film "Na noże" Riana Johnsona. Gościem specjalnym odcinka jest krytyk Odie Henderson

Hey, folks! It's that time of year -- the summer. The heat is rising, baseball is in full swing, and people are getting murdered left and right. OK, well, to be fair, we're talking about a very specific summer on this brand-new episode of Mousterpiece Cinema. The summer of 1977 in New York City, to be particular, and what an eventful summer it was. It's the subject of the Spike Lee film Summer of Sam from 1999, featuring John Leguizamo, Mira Sorvino, Adrien Brody, and more. This week on the show, Scott and Josh are joined by Roger Ebert contributor Odie Henderson to talk about this hot mess of a movie, from its extreme profanity to its orgy scene. (This is maybe the most R-rated film we've ever discussed on the show!) But is it an enjoyable hot mess or just a hot mess? Check out the new episode to find out!

Hey, folks! It's time for a brand-new, inspirational, Muppetational episode of Mousterpiece Cinema, as Josh and Scott get ready to revisit one of the great all-ages movies, The Muppet Movie. No reason to hide our feelings here -- your hosts are both big fans of the 1979 classic that introduced Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and other Muppets to the big screen with their ruminations on the rainbow connection, movin' right along, and more. Your hosts are joined by friend of the show Odie Henderson of RogerEbert.com to talk about the film, its cameo performers, its timelessness, its all-killer-no-filler songs, and more. Check out the new show now!

Hey, folks! It's time for a brand-new episode of Mousterpiece Cinema, and boy, is this one something special. Scott and Josh are headed back to the halcyon days of 2003, when mainstream movies featuring Steve Martin and Queen Latifah felt a lot more comfortable in dropping racial and homophobic epithets with aplomb! Yes, it's time to talk about the supposed comedy Bringing Down the House, and Scott and Josh are joined by RogerEbert.com contributor Odie Henderson to debate exactly how embarrassing and unfunny this movie is. In spite of some unfortunate late-episode Skype audio issues (apologies!), this episode's full of Scott, Josh, and Odie laughing through the pain of this wince-inducing movie that was inexplicably popular 15 years ago. Check out the new show now!

Single dad moves to Germany for work bringing his reluctant, rap-obsessed teen son along with him. The Sundance-friendly plot made comic drama MORRIS FROM AMERICA a hit in Park City in January, but Chicago proves only half-friendly, with Adam and Josh splitting on director Chad Hartigan's new film. And since Josh was busy editing his book over the weekend, Adam had to turn to the Call-a-Critic line to help him with reviews of Ira Sach's LITTLE MEN (Village Voice's Alan Scherstuhl) and the Obama-first-date movie SOUTHSIDE WITH YOU (rogerebert.com's Odie Henderson). Plus, a farewell to comedy legend Gene Wilder, thoughts on the new thriller DON'T BREATHE, and the final film in the Contemporary Nordic Cinema Marathon, 2015 Cannes-winner RAMS from Iceland.   0:00-3:35 - Billboard / Donations 3:35-22:13 - Review: "Morris from America" Dream Wife, "Heartbreaker" 23:15-44:47 - Notes / Polls 44:47-55:54 - Review: "Southside With You" 55:54-1:00:21 - Review: "Don't Breathe" 1:00:21-1:13:14 - Review: "Little Men" Dream Wife, "Kids" 1:14:24-1:28:28 - Nordic #7: "Rams" 1:28:28-1:40:18 - Close / Hot Mics Learn more about your ad choices.

For today's Crizzlecast, I speak to Odie Henderson, fellow African-American film scribe and all-around super genius. (As you listen to the podcast, you'll find out that I'm SO not kidding about that.) It seems quite a few people have expressed interest in hearing me and Henderson rap a taste. Considering this would be our first time speaking, I was wondering how we'd hit it off. As you'll hear in this episode, he's practically my brother from another mother. We talk about it all: movies, growing up as black nerds, Republicans, racism, why black folks can't seem to get it together, Armond White, Here Comes the Boom, etc. It's another episode that was truly enjoyable for me. Hope you enjoy it too.
