For week two I am introducing a new feature to go with my 3 things. This week’s soundtrack. It may be something old or new but I hope you enjoy.
- 40 Years Later, Reggae’s Heart Still Beats in the Bronx – When I first encountered the Wackie’s label, I couldn’t believe this was coming out of NYC and not Kingston. Lloyd Barnes is an absolute legend.
- Rose Tico/Kelly Marie Tran was treated terribly in Rise of Skywalker – I couldn’t care less about the PR back and forth happening as to who is to blame but her reduced role was just a big win for toxic fan culture.
- Denver Filmmaker Explores How Korean Adoptees Felt Like ‘Martians’ In White America – ‘Even if the adoptees were too young to have memories of being separated from their lives in South Korea, and even if they land in loving families, the complicated feelings surrounding race and adoption still arise.’ As the parent of a Korean adoptee, this is something I am constantly thinking about.
