I recently watched I Am Not Your Negro, (amazing!) which lead me to read more James Baldwin, specifically his essay on film called The Devil Finds Work. I know Baldwin went to Hollywood to work on the screenplay for Malcolm X, an experience which turned out to be, by his account, a disaster. I would love if you could do an episode about this time in Baldwin’s life, as well as his general relationship to celebrity and the film world in general. Many thanks for your very special podcast.
