In this episode, the guys discuss "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," the first episode of our "2021 Oscar Bait" season. The play was written by August Wilson and debuted at the Cort Theatre on Broadway in 1984. The film was directed by George C. Wolfe, written for the screen by Ruben Santiago-Hudson, and stars Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman. The conversation ranges from the racial and religious undertones of the story, the benefits of adapting a play, and whether or not it's okay to take action after your shoes get stepped on twice.
