Pop Culture Roundtable: Chris Rock slaps back
Almost a year after actor Will Smith jumped onto the stage of the Academy Awards to slap Chris Rock, Rock exacts revenge with a new comedy special.
And in the notoriously competitive movie industry, the independent film studio A24 has skyrocketed to success with a multibillion-dollar valuation — and 18 Oscar nominations this year.
Plus, did the movement “#OscarsSoWhite” lead to this year’s record number of Oscar-nominated Asian and Asian American performers?
It’s our Pop Culture Roundtable.
GUESTS
Michael Jeffries, dean of academic affairs and professor of American studies at Wellesley College
Linda Liu, lecturer of sociology at UMass Boston, who specializes in cinema, media and cultural studies
