62 - Judas and the Black Messiah

For this very special episode, we review the HBOMax thriller, Judas and the Black Messiah. We talk at length about the painful history and the cinematic tension behind the Fred Hampton biopic starring Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield. For our streaming homework, we discuss the 2015 horror-comedy Bloodsucking Bastards along with this week's guest, writer/director/comedian Brian James O'Connell. We get into on-set stories, Brian's filmmaking process, and what it was like casting pre-Game of Thrones/Mandalorian/Narcos star, Pedro Pascal.
