    Ep. 129 - Whiskey & Watching: "Life" (1999) ft. trina reynolds tyler & Maira Khwaja
    2026/05/22
    BrownTown discusses "Life" (1999) with trina reynolds tyler & Maira Khwaja of TM Productions and the Invisible Institute. The double duo breakdown the cult classic's coverage of US incarceration through the decades, respectability politics within Black and Southern white culture, the guilty-innocent dichotomy through an abolitionist lens, and the relatability and timelessness of '90's buddy comedies. The comedy-drama follows two Black men, loudmouth Harlem grifter Ray and the no-nonsense Claude, during 1930’s Prohibition era who are forced to team up on a bootlegging mission to Mississippi that could solve their money troubles with a New York gangster. But they run into more trouble when a crooked, racist white Sheriff hits them with a phony murder charge and they are given lifetime prison sentences.

  • 128 - Palestinian Liberation: Artistic Expression through Film, Music, & Identity ft. Dina Amin

    128 - Palestinian Liberation: Artistic Expression through Film, Music, & Identity ft. Dina Amin
    2026/03/27
    BrownTown shares virtual space with Dina Amin (AKA Dinamiin), Palestinian filmmaker and singer-songwriter to talk all things art, storytelling, and resistance. Dina shares her journey exploring identity and home through her genre-fluid music and deeply personal yet relatable film work. As the bombardment of war and genocide still cloud the headlines, we refocus our energy on what builds us up in our hearts and our on-the-ground political reality via organizing, political education, artistic influences, and the connections that elevate our souls. Art and media serve as not only framing tools but portals into living out our full humanity in a world that wishes to quash it. Originally recorded March 4, 2026. GUESTSDina (AKA Dinamiin) is a Palestinian filmmaker and singer-songwriter currently based in Los Angeles, pursuing her MFA in Film at CalArts. In 2020, Dina co-founded Space Collective, (site, Instagram), an art house based in the West Bank. Her work explores identity, displacement, memory, and collective liberation through a hybrid of experimental, fiction and documentary. Raised in Palestine, her films often center voices from her community, using cinema as both an archive and a form of expression. Dina co-directed and co-produced her debut short documentary, Rise Up, which was screened at five international film festivals. Over the past ten years, she worked on a range of fiction and nonfiction projects, honing her skills in writing, directing, and producing. Follow her on Instagram, Spotify, YouTube, Facebook, and her website. -- Mentioned Topics & More Info: "I Always Return to My Roots": 40 Minutes with Dina Amin xPATOIS Film FestivalSam Cooke, Muhammad Ali, & Malcolm X were homies (1, 2)Dina singing "Change Gonna Come"Malcolm X film car sceneArabic Maqam or Arabic scalesEp. 46 - Exploring Blackness & Cultural Media ft.

    Ep. 127 - New Years 2026: A Retrospective ft. Kiera Battles, Kassandra Borah, & Jamie Price
    2026/01/09

    BrownTown on BrownTown. The podcast's audio engineers Kiera Battles and Kassandra Borah, and for the first time Jamie Price, assistant producer, step to the mics to talk all things BnB 2025! Last year we dropped our first show trailer; had our first live event since 2018; started our new "Wrap Up" series discussing/promoting SoapBox films; continued our Palestinian Liberation and Whiskey & Watching series; talked public transit, housing protections for working people, and how ICE ain't shit; and throughout the year analyzed Trump's billionaire, tech bro, Christian Nationalist fascist takeover and how we fight back. For better or worse, here's to 2026!

    With 12 total full episodes, 2025 brought 10 guest episodes (4 repeat, 7 new; 8 with 2+ guests) and 8 series-type episodes. In addition to the yearly breakdown, the full team discusses shared leadership, reflects heavily on the in-person BnB Live event the previous night, the making of the BnB trailer, and how SoapBox's 2025 trajectory and overall political moment compares to 2017-2019. Originally recorded December 9, 2025.
