  This was a great interview. It gave a different perspective that the business isn't trying to always be racist. I like him

  Had a chance to meet Datari before. He was so nice and he is stunning in person. Photos don't do any justice. The poster child for Tall/Dark/Handsome and very smart

  This is the stuff I thirst for as a writer director. I can always learn and practice writing and director but the "the reel deal" about the business of putting together films and financing. I would love to form a study group with black filmmaker producer to learn the things that Datari Turner.

  POWERFUL , POWERFUL POWERFUL Show, you would pay a years worth of tuition in college to get all that information that this gentleman stated right here. it was at times a revelation as much as a shoe that fits. He took the racism right out of the entire equation. He has excellent taste and very varied film slate which is where we should all operate from. Like he said I had knew about about ANOTHER HAPPY DAY and found out a while back that he was a rare Black producer doing a project like that which is great cause that was good film with an excellent cast. But the biggest Bomb that he dropped was the fact , which in the back of our minds in reference to the studio exec's was that they just make the same film over and over again in Hollywood. And when he explained it, it seem like one of those huge Ah Ha moments cause that has less to do with racism and more to do with lay thinking on their part and wanting to just keep a factory like mentality going, like he said bean counters. That was no doubt your super best podcast and yes it needs a part two cause that was going to school and learning from some one who is out there in the business trenches while we are in the creative trenches. magnificent show guys!!!!!
