Can punk and funk go together? The answer to that question is answered in our final episode of the season. Listen in as LINNA and Nic discuss “Young Soul Rebels”. Isaac Julien’s film follows two disc jockeys, Chris and Caz (Valentine Nonyela and Mo Sesay), as they try to break into mainstream London radio, as well as solve the murder of one of their friends, TJ. We discuss all things British in 1977, the power of tender male friendships, gatekeeping, and the importance of representation in New Queer Cinema. As we near Election Day here in the United States, we urge our listeners to use their voice to vote and create positive change in the world. Thank you for tuning in, and stay tuned for more!
