‘Los Espookys,’ Stonewall on film and mistaking ‘multiple discoveries’ for stolen ideas
Ana Fabrega in HBO’s “Los Espookys,” the 2015 movie “Stonewall” and the new movie “Yesterday.”
Kurt Andersen talks with Julio Torres and Ana Fabrega — two of the co-creators, writers, producers and stars of the new HBO series “Los Espookys.” Gauging how films have shaped — and skewed — our understanding of the Stonewall uprising, with Mark Segal, who participated in the riots, and Jude Dry, a film and television critic at IndieWire. And the phenomenon of “multiple discovery,” when artists come up with the same idea independently, but tend to suspect their idea was stolen.
