Sylvester Stewart, aka Sly Stone, aka the driving force behind Sly and the Family Stone, makes a complex subject for Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s latest documentary, SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius). Music and pop culture writer/professor (and one time co-host of MaxFun alumna podcast Heat Rocks) Oliver Wang is with us to take a closer look. Then we'll give Questlove some (probably unneeded, but good!) ideas for his next doc.What’s GoodDrea - painting You Tube channelsOliver - The Altons, Heartache in Room 14Alonso - Woodworking by Emily St. JamesITIDICOscars 2025 WinnersSean Baker’s acceptance speech (re: theatrical experience)CinemaStream parody adMany DVDs from Warner Bros No Longer WorkMore about the InterrotronStaff PicksDrea - Searching for Sugar ManOliver - The Karate KidAlonso - Grand Theft HamletOliver’s Upcoming Exhibit: Cruising J-Town: Behind the Wheel of the Nikkei Community

Episode 391: 'Captain America: Brave New World' with Austin Taylor
Finally, years after taking the reins from Steve Rogers, Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson finally gets his turn on the big screen. And he’s being asking to work with an impulsive, angry president with a history of abuse of power. Sounds like some juicy fodder, right? Right, Disney’s Marvel?? Austin Taylor from Secret Histories of Nerd Mysteries joins us to unpack what’s going on. Then, we name some favorite “fun” movies that have something important to say.What’s Good?Alonso - Rachel Maddow chastising MSNBC over Joy ReidDrea - Jane Fonda’s SAG Life Achievement Acceptance SpeechAustin - Beating strangers at Magic (the Gathering)Ify - Timothee’s SAG speechITIDICSpirit Awards Recap!Amazon Now Has Creative Control of James Bond FranchiseNicole Kidman has worked with 19 Female Directors in the past 8 yearsStaff PicksAlonso - The Spook Who Sat By the DoorDrea - Soundtrack to a Coup D’EtatAustin - Princess MononokeIfy - Air Force One

It's the latest star turn for former Ify Nwadiwe co-star Timothée Chalamet! We're joined by musician and educator Enrique Chi (of the appropriately-named band Making Movies) with us to share notes on the Bob Dylan origin story that isn't really an origin story at all.

Episode 388: 'Emilia Pérez' with Emily St. James
From a fun little Cannes oddity to an Oscar mega-nominee…and (ahem) beyond, EMILIA PÉREZ has had quite the journey. It’s also made the journey into the eyeballs of our three hosts and their esteemed guest, writer (of essays, books, TV, and now a novel!) Emily St. James. Everyone lived to tell the tale, but not in song…but don’t worry, we have musical content in the form of a movie quiz about movie musicals that sound unmakeable.What’s GoodAlonso - weekly Christmas cookie trialsDrea - Bookshop.org now has e-books (Preorder Woodworking by Emily St. James!)Emily - Woodworking :: Sabrina CarpenterIfy - Being back!B.J.
