Description

Today’s guest is Robert Daniels, associate editor of http://RogerEbert.com, to help us discuss a controversial fugitive drama that takes a provocative look at police violence against Black Americans. 2019’s QUEEN & SLIM is the feature debut of Melina Matsoukas— director of the iconic music video for Beyonce’s “Formation”— and stars Oscar-winner Daniel Kaluuya. So why has it become potentially overlooked? We discuss how it holds up today, Snoop Dog’s hostile reaction at the screening Robert attended, and the online discourse over its ending.

On Unwatchables, two movie enthusiasts tackle the films that have been deemed “difficult” or, for one reason or another, just plain Unwatchable. From extreme horror to punishing art films to notorious box office flops, they’ll test their limits and try to pin down what separates the art from the trolling. (Or maybe just see if Marc can break Seth.) At the end of each episode, we answer the same question: If you could, would you Unwatch this?
