Episode 9: The Best Movies of 2020 So Far / Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song Scrawls On Cinema

Cody never got around to wrangling a new special guest for this week's podcast, so in lieu of that, he recruited Scrawls stalwarts Ben Noble, Joseph Shin, and podcast editor Reagan Jones for a discussion of their favorite films of 2020 so far. The boys touch on everything from Spike Lee's widely acclaimed Da Five Bloods to Lana Wilson's divisive Taylor Swift documentary Miss Americana, even making a little time for some discourse regarding Eurovision Song Contest and The King of Staten Island. Things then take a sharp left turn into an extensive analysis and debate over Melvin Van Peebles' iconic blaxploitation (or is it??!) classic Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song.
