  • TOBG: What Would You Do in Nella's Shoes? with Nicole Young-Martin

    TOBG: What Would You Do in Nella's Shoes? with Nicole Young-Martin
    Nov 20 2024

    What would you do if you were in Nella's shoes? We've done a lot of talking about her actions, motivations, and background, but now it's time to put ourselves in her place. In this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink!, Nicole and I dive into the choices we would make, emphasizing the significance of pain and resilience in shaping who we are today.


    We also give our predictions for a hypothetical season two, even though the series was cancelled after the first season, and we discuss the importance of having clear motivations for our protagonists, especially when they are hella messy. Great examples of messy but loveable protagonists show up in two of The Onyx Collective's other shows: "Queenie." and "Unprisoned." We compare the different worlds portrayed, the production value differences, and the relatability of the heroes in all three shows, with the protagonists from "Queenie," and "Unprisoned," being more likable than Nella, even though they were just as messy.


    We talk:

    Comparison to "Unprisoned" - 1:07

    Predictions for the season we didn't get - 12:26

    "What would YOU do?" questions - 25:09


    This is the last episode of our series on "The Other Black Girl," novel and series, so I hope you have enjoyed our discussion. There will definitely be more. Stay tuned!

  • TOBG: An Onyx Collective Production and Comparison with Nicole Young-Martin

    TOBG: An Onyx Collective Production and Comparison with Nicole Young-Martin
    Nov 13 2024
    One thing “The Other Black Girl,” was missing was its sense of a New York setting. The book noted the resistance meeting in Harlem, but didn’t talk about where Wagner was located. And, the series used vague stock videos instead of showing specific landmarks, so we don’t know what neighborhoods they were in. This is just another thing the series was lacking. And, Nicole and I go into all of our production likes and dislikes in this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink!We liked the characterization through costuming. For example, Nella starting off wearing neutral colors and plain patterns, but ended up wearing bright hues and daring silhouettes, and we saw her experimenting along the way. Her costumes directly represented her character arc, and it was fun to watch.We also talk about the production company, The Onyx Collective, and similar shows that they have produced, like "Queenie," which we both found more engaging, well-written, and visually appealing. We emphasize the importance of genuine diversity and the need for better adaptations of black literature.Episode References:The Other Black Girl (TV Series 2023)The Other Black Girl (Novel 2021)Zakiya Dalila HarrisThe Twilight Zone (2019–2020)American Fiction (2023)"Erasure" by Percival EverettTara DuncanTimes ReviewThe Onyx Collective ShowsQueenie (2024)"Queenie" by Candice Carty-WilliamsBWR Bonus: Nicole on Candice Carty-Williams' QueenieTOBG Wiki PageDem Bois Pod Ep. 58 Culture and CannabisPINK Ep. 61 Themes, Genres, and Cultural RelevanceConnect with Nicole on her website BlackWritersRead.com and IG @blackwritersread*This episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! was produced by Pink Lady Productions --> pinkladyprod.com Podcasting Is the New Kink! is a Black-owned, woman-owned podcast, and we support other Black, Indigenous, Women of Color-owned podcasts and businesses.

  • TOBG: Why it Wasn't a Thriller! with Nicole Young-Martin

    TOBG: Why it Wasn't a Thriller! with Nicole Young-Martin
    Nov 6 2024

    The last episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! ended with me talking about what makes a thriller and the elements that are usually included in thrillers. This episode starts with a conversation about why "The Other Black Girl" is NOT a thriller and what it lacks.


    We also highlight the lack of clear character motivations, the inconsistent use of time and place markers, and the unrealistic portrayal of black women greasing each other's scalps, or temples, like the series shows. We compare it to other successful thrillers like "The Blackening" and "Inside Out 2," noting the importance of suspense, a clock, and believable plot devices. The conversation also touches on the rushed production timeline and the need for better context and development of themes related to blackness/anti-blackness, respectability politics, and workplace culture.


    We talk:

    The brilliance of "Inside Out 2" - 4:36

    Time/place markers in the book - 11:11

    Series production time, or lack of it - 19:01

    Social commentary of "the grease" - 27:26

    Revising Diana's character - 34:37


    In this episode, I learned that the production time for streamed series is very short. And the writers aren't usually a part of the filming process, so they don't get a chance to gel and really develop the show. These streaming companies prefer quantity over quality and it shows!
