ExposureExposureA Double Feature Deep Dive with Hard Light Cinema: Killer of Sheep & CompensationIn this episode, I sit down with my friends from the Hard Light Cinema crew, Lewis Peterson and Kyle Mayo-Blake, to talk about two landmark works of the L.A. Rebellion: Charles Burnett’s Killer of Sheep and Zeinabu Irene Davis’ Compensation. We dig into the visceral and poetic realism of Burnett’s vision, the radical tenderness of Davis’ storytelling, and how the L.A. Rebellion reimagines Black life beyond spectacle and stereotype.This conversation is in celebration of our upcoming co-presented double feature on July 20th at Studio Two Three, where both films will screen back-to-back.Grab...2025-07-1131 minExposureExposureIn Bloom + A Conversation with Rohan KalyanIn this episode, we're talking about June's series of films, In Bloom, a series of films from around the world that I want us to use to reframe and explore the complexities of the coming-of-age experience. The series explores the transformative power of these periods in our lives to uncover narrative, visual, and sonic connections that run through each of them. We're often told that coming of age is linear, a private journey of heartbreak, embarrassment, and eventual clarity. But what if it isn't? What if growing up feels like dislocation, like trying to arrive in a...2025-07-0158 minExposureExposureAn Oral History of the Black Vampire on FilmIn this episode, we sink our teeth into the haunting, cryptic, and ever-engaging lineage of the Black vampire in cinema. From Ganja & Hess to Blade, from Def By Temptation to Suicide by Sunlight, we explore how Black filmmakers and actors have reimagined, reframed, and reconfigured the vampire—not just as monster or metaphor, but as a site of inheritance, reckoning, resistance, and transformation.We trace the genre’s southern roots, its entanglements with Christianity, and its ties to trauma, sex, and survival. And we ask: what happens when those once rendered monstrous reclaim the myth? When the image...2025-05-2337 minExposureExposureTeknoerotica: A Series Presented by Exposure & Staunch MediaIn this episode, I'm joined by my friend Abby Giuseppe to discuss our new collaborative series, Teknoerotica. In an era where technology touches every aspect of human life, the intersection of sex, identity, and automation raises pressing questions: How does technology reshape desire? What happens when the boundary between human and machine blurs? Can intimacy persist in a world mediated by artificial intelligence, surveillance, and cybernetics?Teknoerotica is a five-film series that explores these questions through the lens of speculative fiction, cyber-surrealism, and techno-eroticism. Featuring Crimes of the Future (2022...2025-04-0153 minExposureExposureThe Cinema of Bong Joon-hoIn this episode, we’re diving into the world of Bong Joon-ho ahead of the release of Mickey 17.

As part of our continuing 90's Neo-noir series, we're taking a look at Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 1997 masterpiece, CURE, staring Koji Yakusho, Masato Hagiwara, Tsuyoshi Ujiki, and Anna Nakagawa. Yakusho stars as Takabe, a detective unraveling a series of brutal murders, each marked by an "X" carved into the victims' bodies. The only link: a mysterious drifter. Kurosawa, ever the genre anti-stylist, contorts the noir framework into something eerily familiar yet unsettlingly alien, crafting one of the most mesmerizing and psychologically abrasive thrillers ever made. CURE, often hailed as a pioneer of the J-horror wave...2024-07-2415 minExposureExposureThe Best Films of 2024 (So Far)In this mid-year dispatch I talk a bit about some of my favorite films of the year. 2024-07-0631 minExposureExposure90's Neo-noir: Belly and Hype WilliamsWelcome to the Exposure Cinema Podcast.

The film has now been rightfully reclaimed as challenging, complex, and undeniable piece within both Black and Neo-noir cinema, but it hasn't always been that way.
