Keeping It Reel 313: Richard Wesley

This week on the BIG show, Black Reel Award-winning playwright, and screenwriter, Richard Wesley will join us to talk about his revolutionary and historic career. Wesley wrote the first two of the Sidney Poitier/Bill Cosby buddy comedies, Uptown Saturday Night and Let's Do It Again.

Wesley discusses how the code he learned in the streets of Newark helped him create his cult classics, working with Poitier, and how the hip-hop community has embraced the films.

In addition, we’ll have entertainment news with Wilson Morales and reviews of the latest films, including Adrift all on Episode 313 of Keeping It Reel with FilmGordon.
