Aaron and Joe dive into both the doc and the film, and how both jobs came to land on Joe. 

This month, we’re covering The Two Killings of Sam Cooke . This documentary is a part of Netflix's ReMastered series, and it takes a look at the untold story of the legendary soul singer and civil rights activist, Sam Cooke.  We have the director Kelly Duane De La Vega speaking with Tracy Clayton, host of the new Netflix original podcast Strong Black Legends.
