Four Layered Takes

In today's episode, we review the highly anticipated, "Judas and the Black Messiah." We have a special guest, Octavia, who gives us a lot of the tea as a native Chicagoan and cousin to Fred Hampton. Our takes... AMAZING performances by the leads and costars; there were several missed opportunities to get into the real stories; the ages of those cast ended up being a major loss to the storytelling; it probably could've been more successful at getting the full story and impact out as a mini-series. Octavia offers some amazing insight into the Chicago gang world at the time which played a role in Hampton's work. She also discusses her family's involvement in events surrounding Fred's work at the time, including a "close-call that never was" leading up to the raid that ultimately ended Hampton's life.   Please visit us at @4layeredtakes and don’t forget to subscribe, rate and review us on iTunes, Google Play and now Spotify.
