Episode 112 - Fruitvale Station - 10th Anniversary
About this episode
Gaius and Jackson are looking back at the gripping true life drama, Fruitvale Station, ten years after its theatrical release. Written and directed by Ryan Coogler, in his feature directorial debut, Fruitval Station is based on the events leading to the death of Oscar Grant, a young man killed in 2009 by a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) police officer at the Fruitvale district station in Oakland. Starring Michael B. Jordan, Kevin Durand, Chad Michael Murray, Melonie Diaz, Ahna O’Reilly, and Octavia Spencer, the film is one of the best first features by a director and the pair look back at cultural importance of the film while also seeing how the movie still packs a huge impact 10 years later.
