Episode 249: Cotton Comes To Harlem (1970)

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!! We're celebrating Black movies of the 1970s on the main show 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! With last week's episode focussing on Sidney Poitier's directorial debut with 'Buck and The Preacher', it's the turn of another Black screen icon in the directorial debuting chair this week as Morgan and Jeannine talk the action crime comedy COTTON COMES TO HARLEM (1970) starring Godfrey Cambridge, Raymond St. Jacques, Calvin Lockhart, Judy Pace and Redd Foxx! As much a love letter to Harlem as it is an entirely entertaining mix of a great neo-noir detective story and a precursor to the more outlandish action found in the major Blaxploitation hits that would come in the following few years. A movie full of wit, style and community spirit!   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.
