Flash Back Friday - Blindspotting's Rafael Casal

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Flash Back Friday! With 500+ episodes, we're excited to revisit some of our favorites with our new listeners (and maybe new to our regular listeners).In honor of the season finale of Blindspotting (this Sunday 8/8 on STARZ), we're sharing an interview we did with the co-creator, showrunner, actor (and East Bay native!) - Rafael Casal! We got to catch up with him about the season 1 spin off series of the film with the same name, the importance of an equitable writers room, shooting in Oakland, filming  during a pandemic, power structures on set, and working in choreography into a television dramedy.  Plus we talk about the cast which is phenomenal...HELLO, Helen Hunt is a goddamn cast member - DUH.It's been cool to see how one of our favorite films about Oakland and the Bay get to see a longer shelf life and turn itself into an episodic series to reach more folks. We're also stoked to continue our podcast relationship with Rafa. It's always a joy to have him on the show. Watch the Blindspotting TV series season finale on Sunday, August 8th on STARZFollow Blindspotting TV on IG and TwitterFollow Rafael Casal on IG & Twitter--Be well, stay safe, Black Lives Matter, AAPI Lives Matter, and thank you for getting vaxxed. --Buy us a cup of coffee!Subscribe to our channel on YouTube for behind the scenes footage!Rate and review us wherever you listen to podcasts!Visit our website! www.bitchtalkpodcast.comFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.Listen every other Thursday 9:30 - 10 am on BFF.FMPOWERED BY GO-TO Productions Support the showThanks for listening and for your support!
