About this episode
The episode discusses the legacy of Malcolm X and the adaptation of his story in film.
A hundred years ago, they used to put on white sheets and sic bloodhounds on us. Well, nowadays, they've traded in the sheets - well, some of them have traded in the sheets - they've traded in those white sheets for police uniforms. They traded in the bloodhounds for police dogs. It's Malcolm X, and This Film is Lit. Let Me Sum Up Was That in the Book? Lost in Adaptation Better in the Book Better in the Movie The Movie Nailed It Odds and Ends Final Verdict Our next movie is Predestination!
