354 - Looking back on MENACE II SOCIETY
In this episode Hilliard and Lisa look back with actor Dwayne Barnes and the controversial role he played as a crack head in the hit film Menace II Society. Sparked by a conversation that went viral on Deadline between Jay Baker agent at CAA and black Literary Manager Jewerl Keats Ross — disgustingly ties in Dwayne’s scenes in Menace — which Jay used against Jewerl with racial and homophobic undertones.
The first Deadline article is from the Jewerl Ross: https://deadline.com/2021/03/caa-lit-agent-jay-baker-abrupt-exit-jewerl-keats-ross-menace-2-society-barry-jenkins-1234722958/

Love
Gives me everything I need.
Rant room
Been listening for years. My personal favorite podcast on screenwriting. #IWriteFilms
Could be so helpful
If Lisa would let someone else talk. She dominates the conversation in ways that are not helpful for people who want to listen to writers talk about tv writing.
