Description
This week, Skip Intro takes you behind the scenes of the original Netflix film, Rustin, by hosting the fourth episode of The Official Rustin Podcast!
On this companion podcast, journalist and author Tre’vell Anderson builds a world of context by bringing you insights, anecdotes and behind-the-scenes perspectives through conversation with the artists who made the film. You'll also hear from scholars, journalists and activists as they wrestle with the legacy of Bayard Rustin, one of the civil rights movement's most complicated and compelling figures.
In episode four, we'll first hear from director George C. Wolfe (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks) about his process of taking a life and turning it into film. And then Colman Domingo, about what it took to portray Rustin and the significance of a gay Black man playing a gay Black man on screen.

Betty Gilpin: Betty Gilpin sits down to discuss her journey as an actor and her work on GLOW, the show from Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch about a crew of misfits who reinvent themselves as the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling in 1980’s Los Angeles. Gilpin is a two-time Emmy nominee for her performance as Debbie “Liberty Belle” Eagan. Raised by actors, Gilpin is refreshingly candid about the superficial expectations women grapple with, and her own conflict with the inner “male gaze representative.” by Skip Intro
