'Watermelon Man' Live Conversation with Marcellis Perkins and Dr. Frederick Gooding Jr‪.‬ Why Does the Wilhelm Scream?

It's a very special episode, screamers! Recently, the Fort Worth Film Club screened Melvin Van Peebles’ scathing look at white privilege, 1970s Watermelon Man. At our post-screening discussion we were lucky enough to be joined by Mr. Marcellis Perkins, and Dr. Frederick Gooding Jr. It was a candid, lively, enriching conversation, and we are pleased to present that live recording here. 
 
Next episode we’ll be back to wrap up discussion on Hal Hartley and discuss the new(ish) films 'The Book of Clarence,' and 'The Iron Claw.' Until then, enjoy the live conversation with Marcellis and Dr.G.
