This week on the Oscars Death Race Podcast, I bring on my friend Ed Noncent aka "Management" to talk about the surge of Excellent Black films that are competitive for the Oscars this year, including Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Da 5 Bloods, One Night in Miami, and Soul. We contextualize each film in the canon of black films and what they represent and the themes the tackle. There's also a bit of a tribute to Chadwick Boseman's career.
