Boston Globe film critic Odie Henderson loves, as he puts it, "...film noir, musicals, Blaxploitation, bad art, and good trash.” We had fun chatting about his journey writing film reviews, his 2022 Best Movies list, what he'd do if he ran the Oscars, and his 30+ years writing computer code!
A longtime critic for rogerebert.com, Odie got his start writing movie reviews for the legendary and much loved film critic Roger Ebert himself.
In addition to being a member of the National Society of Film Critics Odie has written about film for Slate, Vulture, the Village Voice, Slant magazine, and the Criterion Collection and has appeared on NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour.
