The Afrofuturism bandwagon

Film Stuff podcast

We are fashionably late to the Black Panther party. In this episode of film stuff we dig deep into culture, starting with Afrofuturism: what it is, why it's awesome, and what it has to do with Los Angeles's Koreatown. Show notes: • At the top of the episode we talk about Janelle Monáe and her genius Afrofuturist operas. Some more details about her work here https://www.vox.com/2018/5/16/17318242/janelle-monae-science-fiction-influences-afrofuturism • Also we talk about Kilmonger and his displacement in America. There's an awesome episode of Song Exploder that goes into depth about how the Kilmonger theme relates to Prince T'Challa's.

There's a lot more to say on the subject, but you can get started with this article from the Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/travel/smart-mouth-the-korean-stew-that-mash-made/2013/01/31/5b484c52-6b0f-11e2-95b3-272d604a10a3_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.9a4764d64359 Did you like this episode?
