Rough Cut 13: The Black Guy Dies First x Boy Eats Girl (2005)

Black Girl Film Club

On this new edition of the Rough Cut, we're doing something a little different: a book review! In this episode, we analyze The Black Guy Dies First: Black Horror Cinema from Fodder to Oscar (Gallery Books, Saga Press) written by Horror Noire's Dr. Robin Means Coleman and Mark H. Harris. The Black Guy Dies First traces Black horror history from its modern breakthrough with 1968's Spider Baby and Night of the Living Dead, through Blaxploitation to Jordan Peele's cultural upheaval and everything in between. Thank you to Simon and Schuster, Gallery Books, Saga Press for sending us this book to review! As a bonus we do a light reading of zombie rom-com Boy Eats Girl (2005), directed by Stephen Bradley and starring Samantha Mumba and David Leon. This movie does have a suicide scene, please skip if needed (our discussion of Boy Eats Girl starts at 50:00). Our recommendations this week: Warm Bodies (2013) and My Boyfriend's Back (1993) Thank you again to Apple Podcasts for including Black Girl Film Club in it's Black History Collection: apple.co/-InEverything Support your girls with a ko-fi! ko-fi.com/blackgirlfilmclub Check out the rest of our socials (including our BRAND NEW WEBSITE!!!) at linktr.ee/blackgirlfilmclub
