About this listen

In this episode of Pineapples With PAM, we dive into the world of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. This poignant film tackles issues of racism and the predatory nature of the music industry, all set in the post-antebellum south of the 1920s. We also discuss the final performance of the late, great Chadwick Boseman, who delivers an unforgettable performance as a trumpet player in the band and the incomparable Viola Davis. Join us as we explore the power dynamics at play in this Oscar-nominated movie and reflect on Boseman's legacy.
