I’m not sure who photographed Denzel for the Safe House movie poster, but it’s my favorite portrait of him.
(If you know who shot this, please let me know. I’d like to give credit here.)
I came late to the DWITGAOATP party, and the more I listen to the podcast, the more I learn about the Denzealot community.
After seven or eight episodes, I jumped ahead to Episode 49, Much Ado About Nothing, because I love that movie. One of my favorite scenes is when Don Pedro, played by Denzel, proposes to Beatrice, played by Emma Thompson. She politely declines, saying, “No, my lord, unless I might have another for working days. Your Grace is too costly to wear every day.”
Anyhow …
During the episode, Kamau and Kevin talk a lot about Liz, who maintains the @Denzealots Twitter account, and Igor Rusinov, who maintains Denzealots.com. I never realized before today that those are fan accounts. Their sites complement the DWITGAOATP podcast nicely, and I rely on them quite a bit.
Check out the Current Data. It’s starting to take shape. And please be sure to submit your ideas for visualizing the data. I’d appreciate some new perspectives.
Denzel Washington Is the Greatest Actor of All Time Period started in November 2014, and Episode 79 was just released yesterday, June 1, 2016.
As of this writing, I’m on Episode 8, so my data and I are very behind. My goal is to prepare a few simple charts that capture the data Kamau and Kevin are generating: their ratings of and the Denzelishness portrayed in all the films.
I have reviewed the episode information on Denzealots.com to record the ratings. I’ll have to listen to every podcast to capture the Denzelisms that Kamau and Kevin have noted for each film.
Comments and suggestions are always welcome, especially if you have ideas on presenting the data another way. (No pie chart suggestions, please. Pie charts are evil.)
Welcome to Denzealot Data, where you can view in chart and graph form the data from the greatest podcast of all time, Denzel Washington Is the Greatest Actor of All Time Period, with Kevin Avery and W. Kamau Bell.
I’m a big fan of the podcast, and I’m an even bigger fan of Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic, author of Storytelling With Data (the blog and the book). So the next logical step for me was to start working with the data from DWITGAOATP to get it an easy-to-view format.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
