In this episode of Cinebuds, Dori & Kristopher chop it up about "American Fiction". It's the Oscar-nominated film (2023) about a respected, yet frustrated, Black novelist who's fed up with an establishment that profits from relying on offensive tropes about the Black community. To prove his point, he uses a pen name to write his own outlandish "Black book" that, much to his chagrin, ironically becomes a critical success.
