455: Director Zamo Mkhwanazi of 'Laundry' Sep 01, 2025

Show notes

In this week's episode of the Black Girl Nerds podcast, we welcome filmmaker Zamo Mkhwanazi. Making her feature debut, her movie Laundry will premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival under the Discovery selection.
Filmmaker Zamo Mkhwanazi’s quietly powerful debut Laundry crafts an intimate portrait of a Black family navigating the uneasy privileges and hidden costs of exemption within the violently unequal system of apartheid South Africa. The film is set in 1968, the same year that negative international opinion against apartheid fomented during the Summer Olympics but 26 years before the end of the institution.
Host: Jamie Broadnax

The 2025 Toronto International Film Festival runs Sept 4-14th.

448: Director Victoria Mahoney of 'The Old Guard 2' Jul 01, 2025

Show notes

BGN interviews Victoria Mahoney for the Netflix film 'The Old Guard 2'.
Victoria Mahoney is one of the few Black women directing a Netflix action blockbuster taking on the reigns after Gina Prince-Bythewood directed the first film. She worked as second-unit director on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and made her debut feature Yelling to the Sky.
The Old Guard 2 builds on its predecessor with a darker, more urgent storyline: the stakes are personal (Andy can now die), the mythology expands (immortals’ origins), and relationships are tested—from Quynh’s vengeance to Joe & Nicky’s bonds. With global action and new threats, the sequel aims to balance action spectacle with emotional resonance, all under Mahoney’s focused direction.
