Hello and thank you for downloading another episode of The Flixters Podcast! What happens when Cassius Clay, Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown head for a night out in Miami in 1964? This is the premise for Regina King’s directorial debut adapted from a play by the same name. It's a fictionalised account of a meeting between these real-life icons of America. A slice of American history without the need for grounding in actual events. Four titans in their respective domains who meet and discuss what it means to be alive, and black in 60s America. Download the show to find out. On Anniversary corner we look back at The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) On Hidden Gems we bring you The White Tiger (2021), based on the 2008 New York Times bestseller of the same name. The film is dazzling and gritty in equal measure, and tells the story of Balram Halwa, a villager from rural India, who uses his charm, wit, and sly to escape a life of poverty. The less we say about this the better, it’s one not to be missed! And if that wasn’t enough for you we’ve even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. And don’t forget to listen to the show for a special Flixters prize for one lucky subscriber :) Thank you for supporting us and we hope you enjoy the show!
