138 - jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy with Abdul Malik: West of Kanye by John Steinbeck
Kino keystone Abdul Malik returns for some F1 shit talk, the writing and projects he's been working on, and the brand-new Netflix documentary jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy. We watch his conservative politics of bootstrap Black capitalism get formed through the creation of The College Dropout to his Trump-embracing and wealth-protected isolation. We also have the chance to talk about the state of documentaries, and the influence of Hoop Dreams on this film.
ReComradations:
Evan: The Brood, dir. David Cronenberg (1979)
Abdul: [1] WWE 2K22 [2] Deep Water, dir. Adrian Lyne (2022)
