Reel Indigenous

This week Candice, Sunrise and Angela appreciate Zahn McClarnon (Hunkpapa Lakota) in all his versatility during appearances on Sesame Street, Drunk History and History of the World Part 2. Then it turns into a Mel Brooks Retrospective and a search for the next Charlie Hill. If you love Dark Winds, you will love this.

**SPOILERS INSIDE** Dark Winds is back for season 2, and they tell us it's personal this time. Noetta leads in a look back at Season 1, and a peek into Season 2, Ep 1 with Sunrise and Angela.

Erica Tremblay (Seneca–Cayuga) spent years reconnecting with her people through a deep immersion of language, and brings that to her directorial debut Fancy Dance, starring Lily Gladstone and Isabel Deroy-Olson. Angela sits down with the 2023 deadCenter Film Icon to find out more about her journey into this intimate look at the MMIW crisis, shot here in Oklahoma.

There's a lot going on in LA right now, including the Emmy nominations. Did Rutherford Falls get a nom? Rez Dogs? Dark Winds? We cuss and discuss them all.

We join Michael R.L. Begay, Windy City Navajo Productions, and Erik Sanchez, Sanchez Creative, at deadCenter to talk their shorts "Dues" and "Frybread Jesus." Learn all about these up-and-coming artists!

In this episode, we talk about what Tyler Sheridan said -- his claim that his movie changed a law that relates to MMIW. We talk about what this statement means. We also talk about white saviours in media (and history).
