    TFTS Ep XI - How to be a New Jack Writer

    For links relevant to the episode, check out the Writer Mark Wooden website at - https://shadowdancesaga.com/tfts-episode-xi-how-to-be-a-new-jack-writer/ Writer Mark Wooden finishes up Black History Month with a look at the Mario Van Peebles movie, "New Jack City." Specifically, he analyzes the movie to discover four New Jack Techniques Van Peebles uses to raise what could have been a forgettable gangster movie into a classic movie. As if the performance from Wesley Snipes and the soundtrack weren't enough to do that already. A warning though: I've just about given up on keeping the show apolitical. There's just too much bad going on not to take a stand. But don't worry; if you're not a racist fascist, you'll be just fine.
