[](https://www.youtube.com/) **IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS**[](https://www.youtube.com/) As we suffer through these trying times, we might think that there is nothing that forecasts or predicts the possible outcomes or solutions for our current situations. But, many of these waves of financial, political, social, and healthcare unrest, have occurred in the past, and some of them have been chronicled in well-known and little-known films. At 1:30P est/ 12;30p CST/ 10:30a PST join the Blerddsassins Next Door as we list and discuss the films that we believe address the present and coming turmoil and how we might confront them.

[](https://www.youtube.com/) **FEAR THE MESSAGE, NOT THE MESSENGER... HOLLYWOOD'S LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE POLICE-VIOLENCE COMPLEX**[](https://www.youtube.com/) [](https://www.youtube.com/@discussionsfromtheotherhoo240) Otto has often said, "We should be no more afraid of the policeman than we are of the postman."

Back in the 80s when R&B performers were looking for the big crossover break, some of our performers left the world of R&B, soul and funk to embrace a sound that appeared whitewashed and not at all what we recognized as the sound of our childhoods.

With all the discussion about film and whether the "color" of the actors matters, we started thinking about whether color is a factor when it comes to watching TV and film. Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, The Twilight Zone, Abbott and Costello, Shadow and Fog, The Bride of Frankenstein, the Original King Kong, the list goes on. All these films and shows were produced in black and white. Jordan Peele released a version of his Twilight Zone series in black and white. And Takashi Yamazaki director of the award winning Godzilla Minus One was also recently released a version in black and white. Is there a timeless allure to black and white film or is it just for critics and film students?
