Zola, a new movie based on the infamous Twitter thread by Aziah
“Zola” Wells King, follows a part-time stripper who goes on a
weekend trip to Florida with a new friend to make money, and how
things quickly escalated until their friendship fell apart. On
today’s episode, Rachelle and Madison talk to Tony-nominated
playwright and screenwriter Jeremy O. Harris about how he and
director Janicza Bravo translated the 148-tweet saga into a
feature-length film, the scene that almost made members of the crew
quit, and why he considers Zola’s tale to be akin to Homer’s epic
poetry. Podcast production by Daniel Schroeder and Derek John.
