Proud to share my chat with Barry Jenkins (Barry Jenkins) about the Criterion Collection release of The Underground Railroad. The Brooklyn Rail brooklynrail.org/2024/07/film/B…

In which I sit down with journalist Edward Mendez for his first interview ever and… the resulting conversation, which happened over a month ago so reads very fresh to me, has the spark of a genuine and open bit of communion 💆🏿‍♂️

OH WOW. 🤩 Simone Biles just NAILED this vault in the final! #ParisOlympics 📺 NBC, E! and Peacock

Who on earth made the decision to move Kerley to anchor? Coleman has been handing it off to Kerley for like 4-5 years at major championships, and we have a history of not getting the stick around. Why change the whole relay completely? Terrible coaching choice.

I've seen this film. Malcolm gave himself fully to this, takes the stage play to another realm. It is not a play on film. It is August Wilson posited on an astral plane. As he should. Believe what you see here. Because it's been weeks and I have not been able to shake this film.

I’m the host and producer of this documentary about the Mississippi Delta Chinese video & also cultural consultant on SinnersMovie! Ryan Coogler and his team were meticulous about the details—truly an honor to see nonfiction enter the fiction space in this spectacular way.
