Episode 95: Wesley Morris
Wesley Morris, a Pulitzer Prize winner, covers film at Grantland.\n\n"That's what writing about race and popular culture is for me: it's crime reporting. It's not me looking for an agenda when I go to the movies ... but I feel a moral responsibility to report a crime being committed. That's what I'm forced to do over and over again."\n\nThanks to this week's sponsors, Warby Parker and TinyLetter.\n\nShow notes:\n@wesley_morris\nMorris's Grantland archive\n[1:15] Reba modeling Warby Parker\n[37:15] "The Cultural Crater of 12 Years a Slave" (Grantland \u2022 Oct 2013)\n[39:15] "Strange Fruitvale" (Grantland \u2022 Jul 2013)\n[39:15] Longform Podcast #89: Alice Gregory\n[40:00] Longform Podcast #7: Ta-Nehisi Coates\n[40:00] "The Case for Reparations" (Ta-Nehisi Coates \u2022 The Atlantic \u2022 May 2014)\n[55:30] "The Unstoppable Scarlett Johansson" (Anthony Lane \u2022 New Yorker \u2022 Mar 2014)\n[47:30] Molly Lambert's Grantland archive\nLearn more about your ad choices.
