Critic Brandon Avery and the hosts discuss the casting of British actors Daniel Kaluuya and Jody Turner-Smith as the leads in Queen and Slim. While acknowledging Kaluuya's talent in films like Get Out and Black Panther, they express disappointment that roles centering on black American characters are not filled by American actors. They suggest that British actors may be preferred by studios because they are often cheaper or perceived differently by the Hollywood elite.
