Spocklight At the Movies 28: Truck Turner (w/ Daryl Bar from Sudden Double Deep and Is Paul Dano Ok?)

We pay tribute to the late, great Nichelle Nichols as we’re joined by Daryl Bar from Sudden Double Deep and Is Paul Dano Ok? to cover one of her few starring movie roles outside of the Star Trek franchise, playing vicious Madam, Dorinda in 1974s Truck Turner.

We discuss our own personal histories with Blaxploitation and how Truck Turner, with its Everyman hero played by Isaac Hayes and it’s knowing blend of comedy and hard boiled crime action, make it a unique entry in the genre. 

So hide your Mammas because Big Brother is coming, and he's coming on strong!
