Yet Black attendees, including production designer…","meta_description":"This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to introduce the next film to the reviewed, \"Soul Men.\" The 2008 film follows two estranged soul-sing…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2222,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/black-on-black-cinema-black-movie-reviews-958962/episodes/the-bafta-incident-disability-race-media-responsibility/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/black-on-black-cinema-black-movie-reviews-958962/the-bafta-incident-disability-race-media-responsibility.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
