I LOVE BOOSTERS: The Best Radical Satire of the Year?

I recently watched I LOVE BOOSTERS and had to talk about it. Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/CTVSHMwpISE [https://youtu.be/CTVSHMwpISE] ABOUT THE FILM | I Love Boosters is a surreal, anti-capitalist sci-fi comedy written and directed by Boots Riley (the filmmaker behind Sorry to Bother You).

When Baldwin Tried To Write The Revolution

A review of TELL ME HOW LONG THE TRAIN'S BEEN GONE by James Baldwin. I explore Leo Proudhammer’s relationships with the people around him, especially the emotional and political tensions between Leo and Caleb. I also discuss how the novel reflects Baldwin’s shifting worldview in the late 1960s and 70s, as Black radical life, liberation movements, and America itself were rapidly changing.

Baldwin, Black Men, and The Hard Truth About Masking

What does it mean to be Black, a man, someone in the world known for what you can offer? In this video, I unpack my affinity for James Baldwin, how Black men mask to survive the pitfalls of patriarchy, and how I've navigated this in my own life. 🎬 Documentaries Featured Meeting the Man: James Baldwin in Paris (1971) | Directed by Terence Dixon, this documentary captures Baldwin in conversation and at ease in his adopted city of Paris. Intimate and unguarded, it offers a rare window into the man offstage — his humor, his complexity, his refusal to simplify himself for any audience. A time capsule of Baldwin in his prime. A Stranger in the Village (2022) | Inspired by Baldwin's landmark 1953 essay of the same name — written after his stay in the remote Swiss village of Leukerbad — this documentary returns to that village and asks what has changed. It bridges Baldwin's original meditation on race, Blackness, and Western civilization with the present moment, letting his words echo across seven decades. -------------------------------------------------- 🔗 Where to Find These * Baldwin: A Love Story — available at major booksellers and libraries * James Baldwin: A Biography — available at major booksellers and libraries * Meeting the Man — searchable on YouTube and streaming archives * A Stranger in the Village — check your local streaming platforms To support, buy via my Bookshop affiliate link list: https://bookshop.org/lists/books-mentioned-on-youtube-prince-shakur [https://bookshop.org/lists/books-mentioned-on-youtube-prince-shakur] -------------------------------------------------- SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/59H4yFdHs22SLs2iza2h0k [https://open.spotify.com/show/59H4yFdHs22SLs2iza2h0k] APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-revolution-televised/id1869130913 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-revolution-televised/id1869130913] RSS FEED: https://anchor.fm/s/fda5258c/podcast/rss [https://anchor.fm/s/fda5258c/podcast/rss]   ------------------------------ Find PRINCE elsewhere... 🔗 ALL MY LINKS... https://bio.site/princeshakur🔗 INSTAGRAM... https://www.instagram.com/sweetblackprince/🔗 TIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@prshakur🎙️ Listen to The Dugout — Black anarchist podcast with Prince Shakur & Jordan → - https://bit.ly/40sSFxe

Call Me By Your Name, Grooming & What We Don't Talk About

Art vs. ethics. Desire vs. responsibility. We’re unpacking Call Me by Your Name—the grooming, the queer taboos, and the questions the film leaves us with about love, consent, and art. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4yk3J5daZ0 What Should We Make of Call Me by Your Name’s Age-Gap Relationship? | READ [https://slate.com/human-interest/2017/11/the-ethics-of-call-me-by-your-names-age-gap-sexual-relationship-explored.html] 🔗 Call Me by Your Name: Not Pedophilia, Still Problematic | READ [https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/call-me-your-name-not-pedophilia-still-problematic]
