@LifesPodcast Ep. 3 - Black Panther Snacks? (Spoilers & Takeaways)

Tune in to my conversation with Dr. Gamble, as we explore ideas from his TEDx TALK.  We talk about social capital networks and whether or not we  should continue to support professional sports. In this discussion, Dr. Gamble frames his perspective on the matter within a martial arts context, which offers an  “exaggerated stance” that welcomes a discussion on protest, sports and power.Questions?

@LifesPodcast Ep. 2 - #NoGamesBlackMan: An Exaggerated Stance

Dr. Lawrence shares his research on Blaxploitation Films and their importance in documenting the Black experience both on and off screen. This conversation begins with how Dr. Lawrence fell in love with film and later how the Blaxploitation film era became more than genre, but a movement. Note: Dr. Lawrence corrected me - Cooley High, although made in 1975, is not a blaxploitation film. Topics: How did Blaxploitation come about? When did it start? What makes a film during this period a Blaxploitation Film? The Black image as passive consumption? Did Blaxploitation give us our first action heroine? Why did Blaxploitation end?
