When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

For Women's Month, we're celebrating stories about women with our top picks: Shiva Baby, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, and Parthenope.
Each of these films explores different facets of womanhood—messy, chaotic, and deeply human. If you want to understand more about what it means to be a woman, you could start by asking the women in your life… or you could just let Aflojack give you a watchlist.

The Oscars. From a host that had us side-eyeing since the beginning, to the movies that actually mattered, we break it all down. We’re talking Conclave , Anora , The Substance —what worked, flopped, or was mere Oscars bait. Most importantly, which film from this year will stick around, and which will disappear into the void of forgettable Best Picture nominees? Consider this your extra dose of film talk—let’s get into it. lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA== tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1…
10 Academy Awards nominations made The Brutalist impossible for Aflojack to ignore. Moreover, architecture, period drama, and Adrian Brody are ingredients that tend to meet our tastes. And so it did, yet this film didn't quite live up to its premise. Great performances, visuals and score where not enough to satisfy us. Nevertheless, The Brutalist will certainly go down in the history of film awards. And it remains a recommendation we'll always be happy to give. Film: The Brutalist (2024) Director: Brady Corbet lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA== tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1…
In this episode, we take a wild ride through the Madame Web disaster. From baffling dialogue to plot twists that make no sense, we break down every questionable decision that turned this movie into an unintentional comedy. It’s really bad, but somehow, we cannot look away. Join us as we dissect the chaos, the missed opportunities, and the sheer absurdity that made Madame Web one of the most entertaining trainwrecks we’ve seen in a while. lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA== tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1…
"Emilia Pérez," the most talked-about and divisive film of the year, found an unexpected fan in the Black Sheep. Maybe our expectations were so low that it caught us off guard, or maybe we're just looking for something different in a movie than the rest of the public. From our favorite moments to the biggest controversies, we’re breaking it all down in this episode. lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA== tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1…
Award season is always a thrill - unpredictable yet packed with predictions, including ours. From Costume Design to Best Picture, no category is a sure bet. While one specific film looms as the frontrunner, we stay loyal to our favourite underdogs (GO WOMEN). Hoping for an award ceremony that gives every deserving nominee its moment, we can't ignore the possibility that one movie might take over the night. Any speculations you'd like to share? P.s. HOW COULD CHALLENGERS BE NEGLECTED SO BADLY? lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA== tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1…
Our mind is still not fully made up about this one. Our key word? Potential. The expectations where there, but they haven't fully been meet. Is sex villainised or normalised? Though the goth world of this story helps immerse yourself in the film, the lack of depth of the dialogues quickly brings you back to reality. Pros and cons considered, this was overall an interesting watch. Maybe this movie obtained a couple of nominations too much. What are your thoughts? Film: Nosferatu (2024) Director: Robert Eggers lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA== tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1…
There are movies that I will never get, and movies that only I get. And then there are movies that lowkey shouldn't exist, this is one of those. In this new format, we offer you our thoughts and reflections on our least liked movies ever. Paraphrasing Lady Gaga: we are bringing the trash in. lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA== tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1…
The conclave is probably boring, but a movie about the conclave shouldn't be boring too. Even with brilliant actors and an incredible setting, this movie fails to deliver its message. It is so preoccupied with saying it all that it ends up saying nothing. Could this be the first non black sheep movie of 2025 among frontrunners for the Oscars? lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA== tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1…
2 hosts, 1 microphone, 0 sound isolation system. Aflojack's perfect recipe for the first Blunt Session of the year, fourth of this season. 2025 is giving year of good vibes, fresh air, and *knock on wood* the year of action. As they celebrated the holidays with some very much needed family time, the question of legacy assaulted your hosts. What do , did , and will we have? Most importantly, what do we want to have? No real thought was ever given to this question. Until now. lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA== tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1…
We. Are. Sat. Within the restricted time period in which this story takes place, Anora not only manages to capture our attention, she also leaves us wanting more. All of this, exposing a reality which is often not talked about enough. Maybe the lapdances clouded our judgement a little. But for us, this is a fat recommendation. Film: Anora (2024) Director: Sean Baker lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA== tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1…
We often focus so much on the finished pieces that we forget the trials and tribulations writers and producers endure to create a story that resonates deeply. This film captures the essence of creative struggle—the messy, uncertain journey of navigating life's shifting seasons, human connections, and personal growth. It’s a story that makes us feel understood in its raw honesty. The Council of the Sheep deemed it a true "black sheep movie," honoring the protagonist’s transformative journey. lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA== tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1…
Like it or not, Wicked (Jon M. Chu, 2024) is a phenomenon. Although Aflojack has discrepant opinions, the effort and respect put in all aspects of this movie must be acknowledged. Acting, special effects, marketing. There's an opinion for everything. Does this episode contain hateful material? At times. Enjoy xx lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA== tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1…
Every year, December brings joy and family time because of Christmas, but if you are in your twenties, it also brings dissatisfaction and unsettlement. Aflojack had their last—proper— Blunt Sesh of the year, discussing the best way to walk through these moments in life: for transparency, no solution was found, we just love to vent. lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA== tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1…
In a world where AI has taken over most human roles, it's easy for a lone man to develop a what-seems-genuine relationship with an Operating System. Impactful and at times disturbing, with Her (2013) Spike Jonze perfectly portrayed what alienation can lead to. And although the hosts - finally - disagree in their liking of the movie, the recognition of its magnitude can't bee denied. At times hyperbolic for the sake of sci-fi and entertainment, at times so real that it becomes unsettling. This film leaves a lot of space for contemplation, particularly about human relations and the acceptance of our feelings.
