A newly constructed estate on the desirable Westside of Los Angeles has sold for $8.4 million, notably under the $10 million asking price. Located in a bucolic and famously celebrified region of the Brentwood neighborhood, the triple-story house includes 10,300 square feet of mansion-sized living space, with six bedrooms and a total of eight bedrooms.
The new owner is 29-year-old entrepreneur Max Cutler, the Spotify executive and L.A. native who co-founded the Parcast podcast network with his father, veteran radio broadcaster and former disc jockey Ron Cutler. Within a couple years of its 2016 birth, the bootstrapped company had grown from a fledgling studio into a juggernaut that currently produces dozens of weekly and daily shows, many of them in the true crime, mystery, science fiction and history genres.

Here’s something I never expected to see: I ran to the blaxploitation attraction Willie Dynamite because I like actress Diana Sands, and it’s her last picture in a too-short career. But the main character on view, a gaudy fur-wearing pimp, is played by none other than Roscoe Orman, well known to a couple of generations of kids as none other than ‘Gordon’ in the long-running TV show Sesame Street. It’s like watching MisterRogers play Hannibal Lecter!

Blaxploitation movies have a strange place in movie history. Often nostalgically looked at as being cool and oozing in style, they also have an exploitative feel to them, hence the name. Willie Dynamite is a so-called Blaxploitation movie that looked to do something different, which in some regard puts it at conflict with itself…

When crooked cops start to take down his empire and the other pimps start to steal his territory, is it time for him to change his ways?

There is a fine line between stereo-typing and the honest portrayal of criminals in cinema. Films such as Public Enemy (1931), Goodfellas, and both versions of Scarface (1932 and 1983) are examples of films both under attack and praised for its portrayal of criminals. Brian De Palma’s version of Scarface especially divides audiences and critics as to whether the character of Cuban import Tony Montana is a racial caricature or an honest look at greed and corruption. Blaxploitation cinema’s portrayal of criminals is no different drawing criticism from the African-American community, especially Rev. Jesse Jackson and the NAACP. The pimps and drug pushers in Blaxploitation cinema are considered just the same, walking the line of stereo-type and being socially conscious.
