Episode 284: Remembering Poitier & Bogdanovich

Sergio Mims joins Erik Childress to take a look back on the careers of two men who became legends in their own time. Director Peter Bogdanovich came out of the gate with three films that established a legacy, but whose ego and crave of the spotlight began to take a toll. Though he continued working up until nearly his passing, his films never achieved the level of acclaim he did in the early ‘70s. Sidney Poitier, on the other hand, is one of the few to claim the title of trailblazer and it not be just another word. Erik & Sergio look at a number of films through their careers to hopefully shine a spotlight on a rather tragic beginning to 2022. This is a public episode.
