‘Wayne Thanksgiving’

  I was at the game last night, but this skit was sent to me multiple times this morning. And for good reason, it’s great. If you tell me this is one of the pieces Donald Glover ghostwrote for this episode…I wouldn’t doubt you for a millisecond. Enjoy!  

Sex (& Power)

  We were in Club 112.  It was the first night of the best Spring Break of my life, and we were kicking it with some Deltas from Spelman.  We made fast friends.  College. A ‘homeboy’ comes to our area and starts hollering at the light skinned girl in our crew.  The rest of us […]

‘Nature Boy’

  The first 30 for 30 that focused on professional wrestler did not disappoint.  For the hardcore fans, Ric’s biography is well known but the joy comes from hearing so many of his Hall of Fame contemporaries (Triple H, Shawn Michaels, the Undertaker, Hogan) speak of his obvious strengths and weaknesses. If you’re coming in […]

‘Thor: Ragnarok’

  So we all agree this was fun right?  Good.  So this will be an ‘actor’s review’… If one thing bothered me consistently, it was Idris Elba.  Not as an actor or a character, but ‘how is Idris Elba the movie star the sixth wheel in this?’  Having said that, I’m sure one ‘third sequel […]

Support Aaron and ‘S.W.A.T.’

  I’ve spent today trying to think of a good anecdote about my friend Aaron that I can share leading up to the premiere of his new show ‘S.W.A.T.’ on CBS tonight.  I have plenty of course, most safe for work, of those the majority are stories either I alone know, or only a few […]

‘Dunkirk’

  Finally got to see ‘Dunkirk’ on the big screen last week, courtesy of Warner Brothers.  There was a dessert service after the Q&A with Nolan, so yes, ‘For Your Consideration’ season has begun! I’m not a World War II buff by any means so Dunkirk didn’t hold a strong meaning to me beyond doing […]

#HipHopHistory

  Another cause close to my heart… A Kickstarter has been set up to help establish the hip hop wing for Smithsonian’s African-American History Museum.  It’s already a bucket list museum; this will only make it better. All the info needed to get involved is below: The Smithsonian Anthology of Hip-Hop and Rap is more than […]

R.I.P. Robert Guillaume

  Just heard Robert Guillaume died.  Sad day.  GREAT character actor, Emmy winner.  Best known as ‘Benson’, but he did Broadway, he did movies.  He did the Lion King, he did Aaron Sorkin.  He was the real deal. Rest in Peace sir.  One of the first black actors I remember seeing on TV as a […]
