This week on FFR, we\u2019re discussing the potent and perceptive cocktail of comedy and drama that is Blindspotting. An insightful, powerful and deeply funny new film about Oakland, Blindspotting explores the impact of police violence, gentrification, and racism through the lens of a lifelong friendship between Collin, who is black, and Miles, who is white. Our conversation covers the film\u2019s concerns with race and privilege, what it means to be an authentic Oaklander, the roles women occupy in Blindspotting, and more. \n\nIn addition, we cover the racist response to black actor Anna Diop\u2019s casting as Starfire in Titans, the Fox-Disney deal\u2019s implications for the MCU, and some of our favorite recent reads and listens! Also, we feature our first ever listener-submitted FREQ-Out, and Anita tries to pronounce the title for the upcoming Spike Lee film BlacKkKlansman.
