"Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," "Small Axe: Lovers Rock," "Stardust"

Hey, you made it out of Thanksgiving. Well, we hope so, anyway. So, more Oscar stuff! Big Oscars frontrunner "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," with Viola Davis and the last screen performance from the late great Chadwick Boseman leads us off this week. Then we have the second Small Axe film from Steve McQueen, "Lovers Rock." And we close it out with a David Bowie biopic, "Stardust." Getting to be that time of year. Timestamps (approximate): 13:55 "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" 35:14 "Small Axe: Lovers Rock" 52:59 "Stardust" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@gmail.com.
