Show Notes
On this week’s opening filibuster, Jemele explains the historical significance of Howard University swimming and diving team recently winning their second Northeast Conference championship in three years. Jemele then has a wide-reaching conversation with filmmaker and former Georgetown basketball player RaMell Ross, whose movie, ‘Nickel Boys’ is nominated for two Oscars (Best Picture + Best Adapted Screenplay). RaMell shares his journey into photography and filmmaking, how he handled the end of his basketball career, and how his recent Oscar nominations compare to when he was nominated for Best Documentary Feature in 2019 for his work on 'Hale County This Morning, This Evening.’ And finally, Jemele gives her thought on MNBC firing political commentator and host Joy-Ann Reid.
