Episode 1: Blaxploitation. We’re starting in the 1970s, looking at the rise of Black cinema through films like Shaft, Super Fly, Foxy Brown, and Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song. This episode explores the tension between visibility and exploitation, the role of music in shaping the era, and how these films reflected and influenced Black culture. Who controlled the image, who profited from it, and what does that legacy look like today? produced by Cool Theory hosted by Kia + Marissa more from cool theory: bio.site/cooltheory instagram.com/cool.theory
