Hi, this is Steve. Those of you listen to the show know how much I love to get behind the scenes and find out exactly how our favorite films got made.

Why did the filmmaker choose that camera position or lens?

How long did the actors have to train for that fight scene?

Or how did they create that incredible special effect?

As a filmmaker, I find that stuff endlessly fascinating. But for for me the thing I enjoy most about

doing the cinnophiles is not the information it's the conversation and I think

our conversations about Black Panther with Jay Washington and Winston A Marshall were some of the most fun,

insightful, and challenging we've ever had on the show.

Now I already thought Black Panther was a really good movie but their analysis and perspective elevated

that film in my mind to a much higher level and that perhaps is one of the most

remarkable things about great films. You see it's not just the experience they give us when we watch them.

It's the way they live on with us and how they change, grow, and become deeper, and more profound as time goes on.

They can change the way we look at the world and even inspire

us. In fact, this film and its star, Chadwick Bozeman, were so inspiring that we are raising

money for the National Children's Cancer Society in his honor at the

NCC.org slash Black Panther. That's THE N C C C S dot org slash Black Panther. Now a child with cancer is among the most difficult challenges a family can face.

It's not just the medical side which is challenging enough, its travel expenses and mental health.

Many families face financial ruin. its travel expenses and mental health.

Many families face financial ruin, and all of them deal with the emotional consequences

of the disease long after the cancer goes into remission.

The NCCS is dedicated to supporting those families with travel expenses,

caregivers, counseling, and even scholarships. So far we've raised an incredible $1,195. That's almost halfway to our goal of $3,000 when that matching grant comes in.
