Welcome to the Munsons at the Movies podcast. Each episode we delve into the filmography and impact of a randomly selected actor. In this episode, we explore the career of Angela Bassett. Best known for her roles as Tina Turner in What's Love Got to Do with It (1993), Stella in How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998), and Bernadine in Waiting to Exhale (1995), Bassett is one of the more prominent African-American actresses in entertainment, and for good reason. Joined once again by Mark Gehrke, we discuss her impact on the world of techno, record-setting weekly TV paychecks, ability to play prominent historical women, and propensity to command a scene. Where does Bassett rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.
