Usually, I lead off these posts with a little preamble\u00a0about the topic of the week and then segue into who the guest is and how we tied in that topic… This week it goes in the opposite\u00a0order. Steve James is an Oscar-nominated filmmaker and documentarian. You should all be familiar with his work, but just to reiterate, Steve is known for The Interrupters<\/strong>, Abacus: Small Enough To Jail<\/strong>, Life Itself<\/strong>, Hoop Dreams<\/strong> and his latest docu-series America To Me<\/strong> (just to name a few). He also happens to be a guest we have long wanted on the show. Very happy to finally welcome\u00a0Steve James to our guest roster!<\/p>\n

\"\"So what do you talk about with a Steve James (aside from his decades of hit documentaries)? Well… Movies That Make You Smarter (Or Change Your Perspective) of course! Since Steve is a guy who has made so many illuminating and thought-provoking\u00a0films, we decided this would be the perfect topic to cover with him. Great conversation\u00a0ensues!<\/p>\n

So get our a pencil and pad JawHeads, and take some notes… You just might learn something![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text animation=”top-to-bottom” css=”.vc_custom_1544417481305{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
