The Production Effect with Josh “Bones” Murphy

As we continue our focus on how film and production function as tools for justice, we’re leaning into the idea that storytelling doesn’t just inform—it transforms. Because culture shapes policy. And policy shapes lives. When we talk about the climate crisis, we often focus on policy debates and scientific reports. But film has the power to make those realities personal to help us see the human stakes behind the data. Host Rev Yearwood is joined by Josh “Bones” Murphy, an award-winning filmmaker, director, and lifelong environmentalist whose work brings complex environmental issues to the screen in ways that challenge systems and spark conversation. From overfishing to plastic pollution, his films push us to look deeper at how our choices and our structures impact communities and ecosystems. He is also the co-director and producer on the Netflix documentary The Plastic Detox. The Coolest Show – brought to you by Hip Hop Caucus – features conversations on environmental justice and how we solve the climate crisis. Listen and subscribe here or at TheCoolestShow.com!
