About this listen

 One thing “The Other Black Girl,” was missing was its sense of a New York setting. The book noted the resistance meeting in Harlem, but didn’t talk about where Wagner was located. And, the series used vague stock videos instead of showing specific landmarks, so we don’t know what neighborhoods they were in. This is just another thing the series was lacking. And, Nicole and I go into all of our production likes and dislikes in this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink!We liked the characterization through costuming. For example, Nella starting off wearing neutral colors and plain patterns, but ended up wearing bright hues and daring silhouettes, and we saw her experimenting along the way. Her costumes directly represented her character arc, and it was fun to watch.We also talk about the production company, The Onyx Collective, and similar shows that they have produced, like "Queenie," which we both found more engaging, well-written, and visually appealing. We emphasize the importance of genuine diversity and the need for better adaptations of black literature.Episode References:The Other Black Girl (TV Series 2023)The Other Black Girl (Novel 2021)Zakiya Dalila HarrisThe Twilight Zone (2019–2020)American Fiction (2023)"Erasure" by Percival EverettTara DuncanTimes ReviewThe Onyx Collective ShowsQueenie (2024)"Queenie" by Candice Carty-WilliamsBWR Bonus: Nicole on Candice Carty-Williams' QueenieTOBG Wiki PageDem Bois Pod Ep. 58 Culture and CannabisPINK Ep. 61 Themes, Genres, and Cultural RelevanceConnect with Nicole on her website BlackWritersRead.com and IG @blackwritersread*This episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! was produced by Pink Lady Productions --> pinkladyprod.com Hosted on Acast.
