Steven Spielberg's 'West Side Story' - A Brown & Black Deconstruction

Brown & Black - A podcast by Jack Rico, Mike Sargent

In what feels like a Latino remake of 'West Side Story,' Steven Spielberg brings us a retelling of a classic with new revisions to the Puerto Rican characters. Jack and Mike examine the Latino amendments Spielberg got right and wrong, in particular, the Puerto Rican accents, as well as the bigger meaning of the film for Latinos in Hollywood, and whether Black moviegoers will have a desire or incentive to see it.
