Two weeks after being nominated for an Emmy for his leading role in Wonder Man , Yahya Abdul-Mateen II found out that the series had been cancelled. He says Marvel could do more to support Black-led projects. Abdul-Mateen spoke with co-host Tonya Mosley about how he stumbled into acting, padding his early resumé, and working through his stutter.  Also, film critic Justin Chang reviews Teenage Death and Sex at Camp Miasma .  Subscribe to our free weekly newsletter   Follow us on Instagram   Subscribe to our YouTube channel   Check out the Fresh Air Archives See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.
