This week, we discuss the foundational film, Hollywood Shuffle, staring and directed by Robert Townsend. We do a deep dive into the career of Townsend and how he is responsible for writing, directing, and producing many of our favorite films, shows, and specials. We then explore the messages of the movie around the presentation of Black people in film, discuss the value of shame in modern society, whether this movie should be remade with a social media focus, and how movies like Bamboozled and American Fiction are influenced by it.
