Oh hello! And welcome dear listen to another episode of Stream Theory! For this week's examination we're diving headfirst into the Netflix Original adaptation of the legendary August Wilson play, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020). Directed by George C. Wolfe and starring Viola Davis and the late great Chadwick Boseman, just to name a few, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom tells the story of one fateful recording session with the mother of blues, Ma Rainey herself. As tensions rise between her band members, the white record execs, and the star herself, this film, in its sleek 1 hour and 34 minute run time, dares to tackle spirituality, racist power structures, and the autonomy of the artist and their art.
