January 26, 2019 Episode 12: 'Glass' is Really Empty
We're back after our holiday hiatus and kicking off season two of the B-Roll Podcast! We decided to change the show up a bit so you get to hear more of our independent voices and thoughts on movies we've seen. In this episode we discuss M. Night Shyamalan's latest film "Glass."

This is the long-awaited addition to Shyamalan's superhero trilogy that begun with "Unbreakable" in 2000 and was eventually followed by "Split" in 2016. "Glass" continues the story of his hero, David Dunn (Bruce Willis) as he seeks to stop the Beast, a.k.a. Horde (James McAvoy). Both are captured and submitted to an asylum where his nemesis Elijah Price, better know as Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) is also in resident. The film also stars Sara Paulson, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlayne Woodard, and Spencer Treat Clark.

July 27, 2018 Hollywood is Colorstruck
Can you name 5 dark skinned actresses under 30? The trio discuss Colorism in casting and how one can use their privilege to strive for my equitable casting. Colorism, coined by Alice Walker in 1982, is prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone and falsely attributing negative attributes to this phenotype while displaying a preference for individuals with a lighter skin tone and privileging them with positive attributes. Colorism typically occurs among people of the same ethnic or racial group.
