    462: Filmmaker Nia DaCosta of '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple'
    Jan 12 2026

    In this week's episode of the Black Girl Nerds podcast, we welcome writer/director Nia DaCosta to discuss her latest film 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.

    Fresh off directing 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, a bold and unsettling expansion of the universe created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, she turns a familiar horror landscape on its head injecting it with psychological depth, cultural tension, and a haunting sense of humanity.

    From redefining studio horror with Candyman, to helming one of the most ambitious franchise films in recent memory with The Marvels, her career has been marked by fearless storytelling and an uncompromising point of view.

    461: Nicki Micheaux of 'Night Patrol'
    Jan 5 2026
    Happy New Year! In this week's episode of the Black Girl Nerds podcast, we interview actor and filmmaker Nicki Micheaux.

    Nicki Micheaux is no stranger to commanding the screen, but in Night Patrol, she delivers one of her most grounded and emotionally charged performances yet. The actress sat down with BGN to discuss her role as Ayanda, a fierce, deeply protective mother navigating a community under siege and the personal stakes that come with survival in a system designed to overlook people like her.

    Set against the backdrop of South Los Angeles housing projects, Night Patrol follows an LAPD officer forced to confront his past when he uncovers a horrifying secret: a covert police task force is endangering the very neighborhood he grew up in. As tensions rise between law enforcement and local street gangs, the film explores what happens when loyalty, morality, and justice collide. At the heart of that chaos is Ayanda, a woman whose strength is rooted not in spectacle, but in her unwavering love for her two sons and her community.

    Nov 24 2025
    In this week's episode of the Black Girl Nerds Podcast, we chat with multi-hyphenate Teyana Taylor about her critically-acclaimed work in the Paul Thomas Anderson film One Battle After Another.

    In One Battle After Another, Teyana Taylor delivers a raw, commanding performance as Perfidia, a woman fighting to hold her life together while the world keeps throwing punches. Taylor channels her signature intensity into a character who is both fierce and deeply vulnerable someone navigating personal trauma, fractured relationships, and the quiet battles no one sees.
