![]() I have no intention of continuing this stupid little game and stand by my original post. Just a quick skim of the forum will identify them as they are obvious. ![]() I am embarrassed to have fallen to the level of even trying to communicate with them. So after 70 plus years i am not quitting on UF but on the bottom feeders who call themselves Gator "Lovers". too many UF fans SUCK and are childish, churlish, whining, disrespectful and just plain ugly. But at the age of 88 i have learned that the biggest problem is A large percentage of this fan base. Hell i have seen and lived through all the terrible and uplifting times with this program. The Retro Radio Podcast is a daily family-friendly podcast where old-time radio fan, Keith Heltsley shares classic radio dramas with his own insights and input. Mainly that I really don't have remorse with the UF program. It then evolved into a childish back and forth which made some things evident. However, I was not remotely prepared for the vitriol and ********* responses i received. I expected some resistance and negative feed-back as a Gator lover of seven decades offering criticism of the new wonderkind, Billy Napier. You know? These guilty pleasures.I started out this post out of innocent nostalgia and with good intentions. I can’t help myself.” So I think that kind of tension is dramatized in the movie-how it would even split some families, and people would almost be watching it like pornography. But then when he would leave, the grandmother would be like, “I know it’s bad for us, but I love them so much. It would come on the air, and his dad’s own mother would be like, “Oh, let’s watch this show!” And he’d be like, “Mom, we can’t watch this show.” He’d pull young David Alan Grier and his brothers and sisters away from the TV screen, so they couldn’t see it. In the ’60s, was just as red, black, and green as you can get-really a towering intellectual figure. David Alan Grier, whose father was a very famous black psychiatrist-wrote a famous book called Black Rage -tells this great story. It’s funny: The actors-especially comic actors-know much more about it, obviously, than I ever did and than most people did. What have the conversations been like in the room while you’ve been directing? What have you guys been talking about and mining while putting this together? You can produce these shows with only audio as a broadcast or podcast. ![]() Just when it was about to do really great things, the NAACP came in and really shut it down.Īnd the cast includes David Alan Grier and Jesse Williams-Īnd Mykelti Williamson, Yvette Nicole Brown from Community. The American Way Americans At Work Amos n Andy Arch Obolers Plays Archie. So certainly, the story is the rise and especially the fall of these three comic geniuses and this really important black television show. Amos n Andy is an American radio and television sitcom set in Harlem, the historic center of Afro-American culture in New York City. How are you approaching this script overall? And the cast of characters-the act of Amos and Andy and Kingfish-were some of the greatest comedians of all time. It’s all the #OscarsSoWhite, and every season with the new TV shows, where we look to see, “How are these images? How diverse are they?” And so, the more I looked into it, it just became an irresistible story. Such a rich world to explore, and so current. After I dove in and started reading about them and finding out about these black actors, with an all-black cast, and how beloved it was by working-class black people and how reviled it was by upper-class black people-or at least publicly reviled, and maybe secretly they liked it. So my line about this choice and making it: Everything I thought I knew about Amos ’n’ Andy was wrong. As soon as they said the name, I just kind of recoiled, like, “That seems like Stepin Fetchit, Uncle Tom.” It’s like, “I don’t want to open that door.” Because I knew nothing about it. Professor Henry Louis Gates at Harvard and Henry Finder at the New Yorker came to me with this idea about doing a fiction film about Amos ’n’ Andy. What was it about Amos ’n’ Andy that made you want to explore that story in a narrative feature? Tell me a little bit about how you got involved with writing this script.
