Episode 248: Buck and The Preacher (1972)

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!! The start of an exciting series on the main show celebrating Black movies of the 1970s all throughout February and into the first week of March due to our big milestone 250th episode falling right in the middle of the month. Morgan and Jeannine are here today back talking one of the show's favourites, Sidney Poitier with his directorial debut and starring alongside his longtime friend Harry Belafonte and Ruby Dee in the revisionist, stylish western BUCK AND THE PREACHER (1972)! Certainly the most mainstream, widely shown and highly budgeted Black western up to this point in movie history; there's so much interesting background to get into surrounding this and its place in the boom of early 70s Black cinema, while having a lot of really interesting and impressive things to talk about within the movie itself!  Our Youtube Channel for Monday Madness on video, Watchalongs, Live Discussions & more: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvACMX8jX1qQ5ClrGW53vow The It's A Wonderful Podcast Theme by David B.
