218 - MEDIA ETIQUETTE
Hilliard, Lisa, Chris and Lauren go IN on this hilarious episode, that's from beginning to end - full of industry game! Lauren and Lisa dispense some properly-charged thoughts on how poorly Boots Riley is reacting to the negative critiques on his experimental film, SORRY TO BOTHER YOU. HIGHLIGHTS: Idris Elba’s 'Black James Bond' movie, Patrick Stewart and his Star Trek comeback, The Oscars New Blockbuster/Popular Category, Stunts Category should be awarded, engaging critics with Boots Riley's 'Sorry To Bother You' fiasco, BLACKkKLANSMAN and so much more! It all started with Bitch Media's SORRY TO BOTHER YOU critique. We mentioned Robert Downey, Sr.'s PUTNEY SWOPE Trailer, as a precursor to SORRY TO BOTHER YOU. Different eras, different films -- same ignition point (possibly), but handled with different spins.

But you can see it (when it comes out) and tell her what time it is! Pauline Kael's 1974 critical review of Louis Malle's LACOMBE, LUCIEN, a similar story about love with a Nazi collaborator. Douglas Sirk's film A TIME TO LOVE AND A TIME TO DIE, an early film on creating sympathy with German soldiers and civilians during WW2.
