Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BLAXPLOITATION, BABY! - Odie Henderson and Bruce Goldstein
Q: What exactly defines a Blaxploitation movie? Is it a true genre? Is it an era? Or do you just know one when you see one?
It’s a period of time when movies came out; it covers a lot of different genres, not just one. It's defined by urban settings, black heroes, and a certain style and attitude.
NAKED ACTS - Bridgett M. Davis
Q: What were you thinking about audience while working on Naked Acts?
Bridgett focused on telling her story, knowing there was an audience hungry for films about Black life, rather than thinking about commercial success.
NAKED ACTS - Bridgett M. Davis
Q: What pushed you to move to New York and pursue writing?
Bridgett felt a fear of staying on a career path that didn't resonate with her true aspirations, which prompted her to move to New York to explore her passion for writing.
