Screen Deep:How film and TV can solve racism and save the world is a book about the immense potential of screen storytelling to defeat an evil both historic and urgently topical: racism. Everyone watches TV and movies. Everyone has an interest in building a more just and equitable world. Screen Deep goes beyond the many film books and anti-racist manuals by demonstrating the connection between these two aspects of modern life.In Screen Deep Ellen E. Jones combines her personal experience as a mixed-race woman who cares about racism with her professional expertise as a film and TV journalist of twenty years standing, to ask – and answer – several questions: Is there such a thing as an Indigenous western? Is race comedy ‘cancelled'? Where are all the films for white people? And most importantly: Can you still fight the good fight with a mouthful of popcorn?The book is available from Faber here.

We've got a very special bonus episode for y'all! Last week, the newest installment in the Candyman series dropped and it's basically the whole thesis of our show.

So we absolutely had to talk about this one.  Helping us break things down are film critics, Charles Pulliam-Moore (@CharlesPulliam) of iO9 and Valeria Complex (@Valeriecomplex) also of iO9, Deadline, Den of Geek and more.  We discuss the differences between the 1992 original and the newest film, the many themes layered throughout, what works, what doesn't, and the future of Black horror.  Check out their individual reviews here: Charles - https://gizmodo.com/candyman-review-nia-dacosta-film-1847501789 Valerie - https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/candyman-review-horror-movie-update-is-a-missed-opportunity/

Host, Dany Roth, is joined by screenwriter and film critic, Valerie Complex, to talk about both the 80s and 90s incarnation of that strangest of anime, Dominion Tank Police.

The 2019 Oscar nominations happened less than 12 hours ago and on this 72nd podcast I am joined by the awesome Valerie Complex to talk about the nominations we liked, what we didn't like and where we think the Academy is heading with these choices.  We dig in on the good (Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman, LGBTQ character inclusion) but also talk about how a group that makes impressive and inclusive choices like nominating Yalitza Aparicio and Marina de Tavira (ROMA) can continue to fall back on safe, easy 'traditional Oscar bait.' Does the Academy hold back on 'too many' black or female or LGBTQ stories and need to coalesce around one or two? Why wasn't there room for If Beale Street Could Talk or Disobedience? Where's Crazy Rich Asians or genre films Hereditary and performances likes Toni Collette's? All of this and more is covered. This podcast runs 51m 45s with music. Opening: Theme for 2019 Oscar nominations announcement Closing: "New York City By Day" by Thomas Newman from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of Desperately Seeking Susan

For Episode 123, Michael Schwartz, Josh Parham, guest Valerie Complex and myself bring you our 2018 recap episode where we go through different aspects of the year ranging from general themes, best trailers, posters, scenes and more! We also go over the polls and discuss the trailer for Jordan Peele's upcoming horror film "Us." Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
