138 - jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy with Abdul Malik: West of Kanye by John Steinbeck
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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)
