The Ithacan

Accuracy • Independence • Integrity

In the first part of this week’s episode of Deja View, Assistant Life & Culture Editor Jake Leary sits down with Staff Writer Silas White to discuss his review of “The Lego Batman Movie.” Then, Jake brings in Managing Editor Mary Ford and Ithaca College sophomore Jackson Donaldson to debate race in Hollywood as it relates to “La La Land.” Donaldson wrote in to The Ithacan to question the low score Ford gave “La La Land,” the frontrunner for Best Picture at the 2017 Academy Awards.

I am writing you to ask you to just review the film, not its perception or place in culture.
