EPISODE 22 – THE SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR – In celebration of Black Power, Vanessa & Daeron are joined by librarian & friend of the show Vanessa Nutter (yes, you get a double dose of Vanessa’s this episode) to discuss the 1969 Sam Greenlee novel “The Spook Who Sat By the Door” & the 1973 Ivan Dixon film adaptation of the same name. We get into revolutionary tactics, the pros & cons of Blaxsploitation, & more. Coming next month: It’s March Madness time. This year we cover Aileen Wuornos in the Patty Jenkins film “Monster” & the book “Monster: My True Story” by Aileen Wuornos & Christopher Berry-Dee.
