This right here, if you’re of a certain age, is what you might call We Are Entertained: A Very Special Episode. Matt and Chris eschew a feature film this week (because what in the world were they gonna go see in a theater?) and take the opportunity to have a heart to heart about Hasan Minaj’s Netflix special Homecoming King. Buckle up; this isn’t what you’re used to from these guys but it’s definitely well worth a listen!
Chris kicks things off this week by sharing his experience with a HBO Original movie called The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. This is a film adaptation of the 2010 novel of the same name that documents author Rebecca Skloot’s journey to learn the story of the woman whose cancer cells were responsible for a staggering number of medical advancements in the 20th century. It’s an astounding tale of race relations, medical ethics, and self-discovery that sparks a great discussion.
Matt tunes into the Showtime drama The Affair and discovers what may be one of the best teaching tools for the art of cinematography available today. It’s a fantastic journey into the mind of a filmmaker as Matt talks us through his thoughts while watching the show. Also, it’s a great show and Chris gets to talk longingly about Pacey from Dawson’s Creek.
