Chin Music, Episode 6: The Funny Looking Guy Is Good

by
March 26, 2021

This week, the revolving co-host chair heads to the Bronx as I’m joined by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Randy Wilkins. We discuss Yankees fandom, our mutual feeling about 2017, and how the 2021 season might end up being defined by injuries. Then it’s more creative talk as we discuss how we view our audiences, the current state of film, Spike Lee stories and more. As always, we hope you enjoy.

Music by Conan Neutron & The Secret Friends.

Warning One: While ostensibly a podcast about baseball, these conversations often veer into other subjects. Warning Two: There is explicit language.

Really enjoyed Randy Wilkins contribution to the Podcast this week… maybe it my own selection bias in what I usually listen to but it was refreshing to hear from someone who was unabashedly a fan. Side note – HBO Max stopped streaming the film referenced at the end (Judas & the Black Messiah) in mid-march. It was one of their licensing deals with Warner Brothers for simultaneous release of film in theatres & HBO Max… those films are only available for 30 days.
