these episodes (reviews of films and books) should be longer. 2 hours minimum.

to be clear: i’m not complaining about the value of a paid membership. i’m just saying i really enjoy these episodes and wish they were longer. for example, i loved the episode on larsen and passing.

Another solid episode. Jason's article is a great companion to this podcast (and brilliant on its own). Also, very much looking forward to Mtume's upcoming appearance on BPM. You guys noted how Issa Rae was sort of a stand-in for the creatives formerly known as "Blue Checks." Aside from that one-on-one with Monk, another tell was when her character had something along the lines of "Yeah, it'd be good to give this award to an author who needs a job" or something. And Monk kind of nods thoughtfully as if to say, "Yeah, she's got a point there!" Basically echoing the idea articulated across several Champagne Sharks episodes that the push for diversity is nothing but a jobs program for Black creatives. Anyways, I posted something about American Ficton to a Black social group I'm in on Facebook. The nigh-universal praise of this film among (largely professional/white collar) Black folks says a LOT about the state of criticism and people's overall taste level. All that to say, I am SOOO glad that y'all have created a space for true critical insights of Black art at a time where just being non-stereotypical is enough for a piece to be deemed brilliant, and critical assessment = "hating".

lol i thought this movie sucked. so much of it just felt completely wooden (relationship with the woman he was dating etc).
