EPISODE #443-- We continue our celebration of black cinema with the 1996 indie darling, THE WATERMELON WOMAN written, directed, and staring Cheryl Dunye. It's on the Criterion Channel and Collection, so what's your excuse for avoiding this one? Do you hate cinema?

We also talk about Oscar nominated pictures WICKED: PART I (2024) and FLOW (2024) (which actually won), as well as the classic medical drama from Cinemax, THE KNICK (2015).

ALSO: Sorry if we're a bit out of our element with this one, but why come to us if you want a graduate-level discussion on contemporary black and African American issues. This is a dumb movie podcast!
