On a stratospheric rise to stardom Letitia Wright has won the hearts of fans and critics alike as the iconic Shuri in Marvel's Black Panther, alongside a range of other cult roles in everything from Top Boy, to Steve McQueen's Small Axe, Black Mirror, Doctor Who, and working with Steven Spielberg in Ready Player One. She's done this all before the age of 30. Speaking with Tom, she explains how she's always gravitated towards stories that in turn have had an impact on her own life and internal growth – including her new film, Surrounded – and shares the plot twist moments and people that have inspired this incredible journey.

The term “polymath” is unquestionably overused, and often just plain wrong, but it suits the multi-hyphenate British designer, creative director, and artist Samuel Ross, whose hard-to-pin-down practice spans high fashion, streetwear, painting, sculpture, installation, stage design, sound design, product and furniture design, experimental film, and street art. Best known for founding the Brutalism-tinged fashion label A-Cold-Wall, which sits at the nexus of streetwear and high fashion, and for his work, earlier in his career, with the late Virgil Abloh, Ross also runs the industrial design studio SR_A and has collaborated with brands including Nike, Converse, and Timberland. On this week's episode of Time Sensitive, he talks about notions of ritual, essence, and alchemy; how his work straddles the line between the organic and the synthetic; and why he always thinks in threes.Special thanks to our Season 7 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [03:59] “Samuel Ross: Coarse” at Friedman Brenda[06:41] Glenn Adamson[22:48] Hettie Judah's Lapidarium: The Secret Lives of Stones[27:45] Vitsoe 606 Shelving System[30:46] Virgil Abloh[37:02] “Samuel Ross: Land” at White Cube[42:05] Rhea Dillon[46:24] Sondra Perry's Typhoon Coming On[46:43] Christina Sharpe's In the Wake[46:46] Saidiya Hartman's Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments[50:30] Steve McQueen's Small Axe[52:41] John Berger[58:19] 2wnt4[58:53] Pyrex Vision[58:55] Kanye West[58:56] Donda[01:04:09] A-Cold-Wall[01:05:46] Jerry Lorenzo[01:09:25] Black British Artist Grants[01:12:22] SR_A[01:12:50] “Fashion Design: Samuel Ross/A-Cold-Wall” at the V&A Museum[01:13:22] Grace Wales Bonner[01:13:54] Mac Collins[01:13:59] Nifemi Marcus-Bello[01:20:44] David Drake

Peter Sobczynski is back to talk the latest and greatest in physical media. They range from the highs of Steve McQueen's Small Axe series to the lows (in Peter's estimation) of Ruben Ostlund's latest. Indies you may have missed like Holy Spider and Return to Seoul. Both him and Erik Childress reflect on the world of one of television's greatest sitcoms as well as a new Jackie Chan collection and a 4K of sci-fi David Bowie. They also take an extended look at some oddball offerings from Kino including a 1980s film remembered (by Erik at least) for its use of blackjack and credit cards as well as a most unusual Dennis Hopper film starring Jodie Foster with plenty of behind-the-scenes drama and a lot of on-screen weirdness.   0:00 - Intro 1:21 - Criterion (Small Axe, Triangle of Sadness) 9:27 - Arrow Films (The Assassination Bureau, Lover's Lane) 18:07 - Warner Archive (Storm Warning) 21:16 - Sandpiper (Stanley and Iris, Kid Galahad) 27:20 - Mubi (Holy Spider) 29:33 - Sony (Return to Seoul) 31:15 - Paramount (Cheers: The Complete Series) 34:23 - Lions Gate (The  Man Who Fell to Earth (4K)) 39:09 - Kino (The New Godfathers, Terminal Invasion, WHAAM!

In this final review of Steve McQueen's Small Axe series, we discuss how black children with (and without) learning differences are unfairly targeted and disregarded by educational professionals who are quick to dismiss our children, especially black boys as, inept, lazy, and difficult.

Our guest is actor John Boyega, who recently played police officer Leroy Logan in “Red, White and Blue,” which is part of Steve McQueen's “Small Axe” anthology series. Boyega talks about his relationship with his dad, moving on from the "Stars Wars" trilogy, using his platform to highlight social injustice and working in Hollywood.

Author, actor, poet and hip-hop pioneer Saul Williams — who stars in and scores Charles Officer's Akilla's Escape, now available on VOD across North America — takes the mic for Lovers Rock, the second and best feature in Steve McQueen's Small Axe film cycle. Your genial host Norm Wilner thinks you'll enjoy this one.

Last year's hybrid New York Film Festival was an oasis amid the movie desert of the pandemic, but we sorely missed seeing the selections in the dark of Film at Lincoln Center's theaters. So we were overjoyed when a “redux” version of the festival was announced for this summer, with much of the 2020 lineup playing on the big screen. To dig into the highlights of this encore edition and the films that must be seen big (or seen again,) we sat down with FLC programmer Dan Sullivan and curator and critic Steve Macfarlane. We discussed some underseen gems from the Revivals section, including William Klein's Muhammad Ali: The Greatest and Marie-Claude Treilhou's Simone Barbes or Virtue, and went long on Paul Felten and Joe DeNardo's Slow Machine and some standout episodes from Steve McQueen's Small Axe anthology.

Welcome back to Somewhere To Believe In! We're calling this series ‘Keeping the faith' because this time around we're having no-holds-barred conversations with people who get stuck in BECAUSE of what they believe.Arguably, no one has done more to keep the faith than our first guest; former superintendent in the Met police, man-on-a-mission to change a racist police system from within, subject of one of Steve McQueen's Small Axe films and general truth-to-power-speaker, Leroy Logan.We talk about Leroy's incredible life. From some of his formative years being spent as a young boy in Jamaica seeing Black people in positions of power to his short career in science and his ultimate ‘calling' to the police force – a decision which resulted in him joining the ranks of the officers who beat-up his father, and a decades-long mission to call out toxic police culture and replace it with love, respect, service and care.Plus, a lot has happened since we last had a podcast chat, so Katherine and Paul get us up-to-date on all things Greenbelt Festival, Prospect Farm and – most importantly – which lockdown hobbies have stuck and which haven't.Links, resources and episode timestamps (for all you skippers out there) below.____ABOUT LEROY LOGANDr Leroy Logan MBE is a former superintendent in the Metropolitan police. He retired in 2013 after 30 years' service. He is also a former chair and founding member of the Black Police Association. Leroy is one of the UK's most highly decorated and well known black police officers.

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host Nicolas Rapold. On this episode I'm tackling a wonderful collection of new films by director Steve McQueen called Small Axe. The five Small Axe movies are on Amazon, completed today with the release of the fifth and final film, Education. Small Axe is a fascinating and ambitious chronicle of West Indian experience in London—personal, political, and cultural—and it's definitely an event. First, veteran critic Jonathan Romney (Screen Daily, Sight & Sound) joins me to talk about Mangrove and Lovers Rock, which are about an infamous trial and a joyous night of partying, respectively. Then on the second half of the podcast, I'm joined by critic Nicholas Russell (Reverse Shot). We discuss McQueen's approach in the three remaining films in the Small Axe series: Red, White, and Blue; Education; and Alex Wheatle. We also hear about the other last things Jonathan saw, from IDFA and elsewhere: The Wasteland, Inside the Red Brick Wall, Gorbachev. Heaven, and Fellini's The Voice of the Moon.

We begin this week with a discussion on the first film in Steve McQueen's SMALL AXE series for Amazon, MANGROVE. Yes, you heard that right: Steve McQueen has FIVE NEW FILMS coming out from now until the end of the year. A small miracle in an otherwise abysmal 2020. The second new film of the week is Sean Durkin's long-awaited follow-up to his 2011 debut, MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE. This one features Jude Law and Carrie Coon up front. It's called THE NEST. We close out the show with the latest PICK SIX segment. This time we are counting down our choices for the SIX BEST LORNE MICHAELS-PRODUCED FILMS OF ALL-TIME, in honor of his 70th birthday.
