Episode 106: Jen Yamato on 'Isle of Dogs' and the Need for Film Critics of Color

from Hard N.O.C. Life

LA Times film reporter Jen Yamato is the special guest on Hard NOC Life as we break down the reaction to Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs. Ever since Anderson's latest animated feature was released in select theaters, the conversation around the film has revealed a split in the way white film critics and Asian American film critics perceive the movie. Yamato has received a fair amount of blow back on social media from Anderson's rabid following which places Isle of Dogs in the middle of the ongoing "war" between critics and fans. All this and more on Hard NOC Life! Watch it on your screen, hit "play," and check this. Subscribe to all of podcasts in the Hard NOC Media family on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and NPR One! As always, our official theme music is brought to you by the super team of Adam WarRock and Chops.
