When the name GREEN BOOK was read aloud as the winner of Best Picture at the 91st Oscars last week, it erupted a firestorm of controversy.

This week, we welcome back ScreenFish’rs Chris Utley and Shelley McVea to challenge the film’s arguments about stereotypes, the merit (or not) of its depiction of dignity and its responsibility to get the facts straight.
