Reel Rap: 'Ganja and Hess' (1973)

b"Ancient daggers, inexplicable dream logic and the scariest sound of all \\u2014 Shane's impression of a burping crow. Reel Rap stands divided on this 1973 experimental blaxploitation vampire film and reflects on a letter from director Bill Gunn to white critics about how black art is received by mainstream media.\\n\\nA comedy duo straight out of William Penn\\u2019s backyard, Bennett Glace, an adult Disney fan, and Shane Pfender, an ordained minister, have for years lent a critical eye to Hollywood\\u2019s most tedious auteurs. They are a comedy duo for film snobs and slobs alike. Exhausted by the current uninspired landscape of film criticism, the two work to find a new language with which to understand and interact with the films they cover on their inimitable podcast, Reel Rap."
