Locked In: Race, Guilt, and The Man in the Basement

Siquoyia Blue walks listeners through Walter Mosley’s The Man in the Basement and its Hulu adaptation, exploring how the story examines race, inherited trauma, and power through the relationship between Charles Blakely and Aniston Bennett.

She reflects on themes of guilt, secrecy, psychological punishment, and role reversal, inviting listeners to consider what they’ve locked away in their own pasts and who they’ve asked to guard it.
