Ep. 72 ‘Bodied’ with director Joseph Kahn

“Words are weapons in the world’s most lyrical sport.”


That’s how competitive battle rap is described by the makers of
“Bodied,” a new satirical film produced by Eminem about a college
student who decides to write a thesis paper on battle rap and
through a twist of fate finds himself becoming a prodigy in the
sport.


On today’s episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we
speak with“Bodied” director Joseph Kahn. Kahn is a filmmaker and
Grammy-award winning music video director, who has directed
videos for Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons, Blink 182, Britney
Spears, Maroon 5, and many other best-selling artists.


Kahn describes himself as a free speech absolutist. During the
course of this conversation, we unpack what that means and take a
look at the free speech interests in his new, controversial film.
