Ep 146 Edible Cannes
from Black and Snerdy Podcast Hosted by Ode and Mo "Kid" Licorish
Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) open with a pair of tributes — remembering writer/filmmaker Sasha Jenkins and Ode's dog Brooklyn — then move into current headlines: the U.S. Mint’s move to halt new penny production and the practical/cultural reactions that follow. The hosts riff on small‑change economics and coin‑collection anecdotes before shifting to Cannes coverage: Denzel Washington’s tense on‑camera moment with a person who touched him and his surprise honorary Palme presentation from Spike Lee, plus early details and release windows for Denzel’s new film. The conversation expands into TV and film news: the Parks & Rec‑adjacent trailer for “Philly Justice,” a Noah’s Arc movie revival with original cast members returning, and a Sister Rosetta Tharpe biopic in development with high‑profile producers attached. They also celebrate academic and community wins — Howard’s large graduating class and local screenings and events honoring Ryan Coogler’s Sinners in Clarksdale — while touching on larger threads about cultural stewardship, how to enjoy art when creators have controversies, and the pride of seeing Black stories re‑centered in film and festivals.
