Show Notes

We're happy to have friend of the pod, Beandrea July, return for a discussion about the film landscape during pandemic times. Beandrea is a freelance writer and audio producer focused on culture. Her film criticism has been published in several outlets including The New York Times, Time, The Hollywood Reporter and broadcast on NPR. She is a regular contributor to TheCherryPicks.com a website that prioritizes women’s voices in film criticism. She has also been a guest on the NPR shows 1A and The Takeaway as well as KPCC SoCal’s The Frame. She is based in Los Angeles, although definitely not from there. She grew up in Dayton, Ohio. Her cinematic comfort food is the eighth feature Sidney Poitier directed. It’s a solid B movie about a group of kids from Ohio who move to NYC to make it big as dancers. Google it. @beandreadotcom
