Ganja & Hess (1973) feat. Brother Ghoulish

<p>Grab your body glitter and avoid the shadow of the cross because we're talking Bill Gunn's <em>Ganja &amp; Hess</em> (1973) for its 50th anniversary! Along for the ride is Brother Ghoulish himself, Ryan Kinney, who brings keen insight into the intersection between colonialism, vampirism and religion.</p><p>Plus: celebrating Marlene Clark's iconic performance, the film's visualization of black bodies, debating the villainy of the titular characters, Gunn's status as a black gay filmmaker in the 70s, and Trace's disgust over brushing your teeth in the bath.</p><p>References:</p><p>-Ayi Kwei Armah. <em>Two Thousand Seasons</em>, 1973</p><p>-Manthia Diawara and Phyllis Klotman.
