Refigure Check-in E49 – BlackLivesMatter, Space Force & Da 5 Bloods


Listen Later

Chris and Rifa's continuing home-based adventures in culture, diversity and the arts.


This week we wear masks to a Black Lives Matter protest in Brighton. Then we watch Steve Carrell's new Netflix comedy series Space Force with John Malkovich and Lisa Kudrow, about a Trump-style military run space initiative.

Then we disagree about Spike Lee's new film Da 5 Bloods – also on Netflix – starring Clarke Peters and Delroy Lindo, following a group of African-American Vietnam veterans as they return to Ho Chi Minh City to search for the body of a fallen comrade.

In What You Reading For? Rifa is just starting Ta Nehisi Coates' essay collection We Were Eight Years In Power and Chris is reading Bhanu Kapil's poetry book How To Wash A Heart.

Thank you for listening, please leave us a nice review. Find us on Instagram and Facebook.
