Summary

This week, writer Ben Arogundade (Hollywood Blackout) joins James, Jerah, and Jon to cover Lilies of the Field (1963), directed by Ralph Nelson, screenplay by James Poe, based on the novel The Lilies of the Field by William Edmund Barrett, starring Sidney Poitier, Lilia Skala, and Stanley Adams. Together, they discuss Ben's new book, the lack of progress on representation at The Oscars, how the limited number of leading Black actors led to the creation of Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood], the social currents that led to small steps forward in the Oscars' history, and much, much more!
