## Resource

Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. review DEAD MAN'S WIRE , the new true-crime thriller starring Bill Skarsgård , with supporting turns from Colman Domingo and Myha'la . The duo contrasts the film with 2022's Breaking (starring John Boyega) to ask a central question: Who gets to be a "vigilante folk hero" and who becomes a "tragic martyr"? Does a "fight the system" narrative land differently when we know that, for Black folks, the police snipers usually don't miss? Tune in to hear if it's a "Seated," "Stream It," or "Skip It." Plus, the tables have turned as Tre'vell puts Ray in the hot seat for the Colman Domingo edition of Black Cinema Games, and they close out with Good Vibes Only.
