Welcome to the sixth episode of The Movies And Me, a podcast project of ours where in each of these episodes we sit down with a filmmaker, writer, someone who works in the film industry or just someone who is a big cinephile who just lives for movies. We talk about their creative projects and also discuss their four favourite films that have inspired them to go out and have a career in film. Or four films that have least inspired them to seek out the career they have today.
On this episode, we are delighted to chat with a friend of Adam's, Edward Carson. Edward Carson is a scholar, an educator and activist. On his website, it says that Edward Carson 'teaches seminars on African American Studies, Race, Class, Gender, American Jesus, and Black Christianity.' A dean and historian who teaches about race and religion in America's 20th Century. Edward also currently hosts a podcast called Race Matters. The podcast Race Matters examines the nomenclature of race, class, gender, and culture and how they intersect with past historical phenomena and present narratives. Race Matters seeks to discuss the critical nature of how we talk about race and our moral obligation to confront it. You can also listen to the podcast here on SoundCloud and watch episodes on YouTube.
We really enjoyed having Edward Carson on the podcast and talking to him about the four favourite films of his that he picked. If you haven't seen them, you should check them out.
Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen in the western The Outlaws which is a available to watch in the US, Finland & the UK on Amazon and Apple TV for example. You can read a review about the film on Collider.
