Read MoreWelcome to a very special episode of the Renegade Pop Culture podcast with Keona and Mike! We had the absolute pleasure of speaking to the filmmaking duo behind the indie drama/thriller White Lie, Yonah Lewis and Calvin Thomas! We dive deep into their history, influences, and the process of making the film, which turned out to be one of my personal favorite films of the year (though it technically came out in 2019 at TIFF). Thanks to Yonah and Calvin for taking the time to speak with us, and a very special thank you to Rock Salt Releasing for setting up the opportunity for us to discuss the film with them!

Read MoreWhether the Academy can have this ceremony in a physical space or they will have to go virtual like every other award season so far this year, I'm looking forward to having a whole slate of movies to watch during the next few months leading up to it. It will also be the first Oscars season where they are implementing their new standards of diversity and inclusion for their nominees, so expect another incredible victory for misrepresented groups after Parasite winning Best Picture, so don't expect another Green Book situation anytime soon. It also explains the revealing stories of most of the movies that Variety predicts will be the frontrunners for the top prize. If the amazing buzz that these flicks have elicited is any indication, this will be a superb lineup and I can't wait to watch every one of them either in my living room or in the theater when it's safe.
