In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide.

Okay, but seriously, what IS the American dream? This week, we’re joined by special guest Janet Dale as we attempt to find the answer in the pages of Olga Dies Dreaming, the debut novel by Xochitl Gonzalez. Also on the agenda: dysfunctional families, Puerto Rico’s historic and continued struggle as a U.S. territory, the personal cost of becoming a revolutionary, and men with coca cola-colored eyes who make love with their socks on. We also shout out Emily, who is absent due to her recent move to Seattle, and Susan, who welcomed her new baby girl, Amira Justine Reach, to the world! Join us for our othersode on August 22nd when we’ll talk about the new film Bullet Train with author Samantha Allen—and don’t worry, we WILL be discussing her lesbian bigfoot novel Patricia Wants to Cuddle. Then, on September 5th, you can enjoy our next bookpisode on You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi. Don’t forget to leave us a rating and review on Apple podcasts, follow us @booksquadgoals on social, and email your feedback on this or any episode to thesquad@booksquadgoals.com!
