Movie Madness

An annual tradition on WHPK Radio’s Bad Mutha Film Show with Sergio Mims is checking in with Erik Childress on the films he saw at the Sundance Film Festival. This year the fest was held virtually giving Sergio the opportunity to see some films himself. So they look in on some of the best films that Erik saw (along with some of the worst) including new documentaries about Sesame Street, Rita Moreno, Alvin Ailey and the band Sparks by Edgar Wright. They debate Rebecca Hall’s adaptation of the novel, Passing, and share praise for the Fred Hampton story, Judas and the Black Messiah. Erik is asked to convince Sergio that the big opening night award winner, CODA, is deserving of the response it received. There are also films about werewolves, video nasties, and a family in a literal hole. But they save the best for last, a film about the greatest concert you may not know ever existed.   4:34 – My Name is Pauli Murray 7:41 – First Date 11:40 – Mother Schmuckers 14:07 – Wild Indian 16:34 – John and the Hole 20:58 –
