Sprinter the Film

Send us a text


Happy Wine Wednesday!  We are delighted to be joined this
week by award-winning writer and producer, Rob Maylor.  Rob
is a writer on the award-winning film Sprinter, which we discuss
this week. We are so lucky to have him!

As always, we kick things off with a few things we liked and some
Rona Recs.  Rob dropped some exciting news about the
availability of Sprinter on Netflix in Canada and the
Caribbean.  We also saluted the unforgettable Verzuz battle
between Babyface and Teddy Riley. We raised our glasses and gave
our heartfelt thanks to our lovely listeners in Philadelphia.
Long live Comrade Gritty!

Next, we get into our topic of the week - Sprinter! 
Sprinter is a heartfelt, wonderfully written film that provides
invaluable insight into the ways in which immigration impacts
families. Rob shares lots of wonderful insights, including his
inspiration for the film and favorite scene to write. We also
talk about the powerful portrayal of West Indian culture, as well
as the brilliant use of Jamaica as a beautiful backdrop to the
story. We celebrate the film for bucking tired tropes of plots
driven by Black pain and death. We also get into memorable
characters, such as Kerry and Germaine and close it out with a
bit of thirst. It's a really fun time and we are so grateful to
Rob for joining us.
