FFR 130: Hollywood Scrambles
from Feminist Frequency Radio · host Feminist Frequency
Cartoon voices have been recast, episodes of 30 Rock have been pulled, and Gone with the Wind has been recontextualized. In this week’s episode of FFR, we discuss the many ways that Hollywood has scrambled in recent weeks to respond to the current conversation about racial justice, and whether any of the actions being taken are actually meaningful, or are just meant to convey the appearance of meaningful action. We ask how, moving forward, we can disrupt white supremacy’s hold on the media we create, and what do we do with the sometimes-oppressive media of the past as we seek to build a better future.Time Stamps:2:55 - Hollywood “Responds” to Conversations About Racial Justice44:50 - FREQ-Outs: Carolyn on Hannibal, Ebony on Mucho Mucho Amor, Anita on Sludge LifeLinks Mentioned:Imran Siddiquee’s tweet on 30 RockDr. Jason Dorwart’s thread on Come As You Are and disability representationHannibal reunionSludge Life, free on the Epic StoreFollow Us:Join our Patreon Our WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsTwitterInstagram
