The first season of Cinema Span is about one thing and one thing only: the films of 2007. We’re doing all of it, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly! (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly will not be covered because it’s from 1966.)

”American Gangster” and ”The Great Debaters” with Jaylon Lee
2007 was a good year for Denzel Washington, starring in Ridley Scott's "American Gangster" as well as directing his second film "The Great Debaters". YouTuber Jaylon Lee (@jayyxvii.x on Instagram) from The Loft (@theloft818 on YouTube) joins Louis to discuss these films and the larger historical picture at play. Jay's dogs are hanging out too in the video version, it's a good time.
I hope that you never find yourself bound to a chair as Frank Lucas douses you with gasoline, sets you aflame, and shoots you multiple times point blank. May we all beat the official Harvard account in debates on Twitter instead.
[The Great Debaters discussion begins at 1:05:50]
