SSNP 314 | Even the Cameras Were Racist: Exposing the Bias of Early Color Film

The movies have not always been kind to Black people - even down to our very appearance as captured on film. In this episode, the SSN Crew discusses the racial biases literally built into earlier color photography and the history of the Shirley cards. We also discuss how filmmakers such as Ava DuVernay and cinematographer Bradford Young are pushing for improvements in how Black people appear in cinema.

Plus - reviews of the new fall TV shows "mixed-ish," "All Rise," and "Stumptown," Todd Phillips wilding on the "Joker" press tour, Eddie Murphy apologizing for his past homophobic jokes, Sony and Marvel getting back together for their kid - Spider-Man - and more!
