Episode 157 - Charles Burnett Returns

Zebras In America

Feb 26 2021 • 1 hr 24 mins

We’re honored to call legendary filmmaker Charles Burnett a RETURNING guest. On the latest episode of Zebras we delve in to his seldom discussed late 90’s television period (NightJohn & Selma Lord Selma specifically), which also happens to coincide with black history month (this episode also aligns with the 25th anniversary of the release of NightJohn). But Black history month or not, this is a timeless episode with plenty of replay value well beyond February. Listen as we discuss everything from the importance of education & the distribution of information to the unsung careers of everyone from Bill Cobb to Clifton Powell. Did you know Charles Burnett recently spoke with one of the most critically acclaimed active filmmakers working right now? Listen to find out who.
