This week, we're kicking off a series of back-to-back feature episodes focusing on the work of writer/director Ryan Coogler, whose most recent work was the superlative Marvel Cinematic Universe entry Black Panther. That megahit from earlier this year is next on our list, but first up, we're discussing Coogler's debut feature, 2013's Fruitvale Station -- a character-driven drama based on the true story of police shooting victim Oscar Grant (played in the film by Coogler's frequent collaborator, Michael B. Jordan). Our in-depth look at the movie touches on everything from its up-close-and-personal shooting style to its handling of key dramatic sequences to its several stunning performances. Along with that, we've got a solid crop of movie recommendations to kick off your summer viewing, a few thoughts on post-credits scenes, and an embarrassing admission from one of your hosts who hasn't seen 6 out of 7 entries in one of Hollywood's most enduring franchises.
