Miscellaneous


What do Spike Lee, Tyler Perry, Ryan Coogler, Ava DuVernay,  and Barry Jenkins all have in common? They each owe something to early 20th century black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux. On this episode, Shakesha and Ryan discuss the prolific director and producer's disputed legacy, examine his work and the way it was received by different communities, and, inspired by the conversation, examine the dynamics of their own relationship. On WTF, Shakesha busts out the tea for Jillian Michaels and her bodyshaming of pop superstar Lizzo. Ryan shares a funny story about a time when Lizzo made him emotional.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/satwb/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/satwb/support
