About this listen

Today, this “Vampires of America” kick lifts the coffin lid on the Blaxploitation era and 1972’s "Blacula." I’m thrilled to be joined by Odie Henderson, author of “Black Caesars and Foxy Cleopatras” and film critic for The Boston Globe. We analyze William Marshall’s Shakespearean performance as Blacula, speculate on why the backhand is his weapon of choice, and explore the key film history around “Dracula’s soul brother.” I strongly recommend both Odie’s book and his criticism: https://store.abramsbooks.com/products/black-caesars-and-foxy-cleopatras “Ganja & Hess” (1973) next week!
