Under The Wheels Episode 35: Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (Lost Episode)

 


Gabe and Matt discuss why or why not plays should be adapted into movies and how to do it badly and not as badly. Topics include The Elephant Man, Star Wars as failed Dungeons and Dragons characters, what serves as the best introduction to David Lynch movies (hint here), what Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and One Night in Miami do similarly and differently, Matt's odd fascination with Hitchcock movie adaptations of stage plays like "Dial M for Murder", Denzel Washington's desire to make the August Wilson Cinematic Universe, actors as filmmakers, including Mel Gibson, the strange accusations of the film world of culturally appropriating Theater, and H Bomberguy's Youtube Channel.
