With (well deserved) nominations in all the major Emmy categories, ‘Bessie’ tells the story of one of the early pioneers of black entertainment in America. When you look at her whole career, it’s hard to describe Queen Latifah as ‘underrated’, but this project was a nice reminder of how talented she is. Taking on the […]
Like a lot of you, I’m still buzzing on how much I enjoyed ‘Straight Outta Compton’ and the memories of that era of hip hop. So let’s segway by starting the week here. Enjoy!

If you were there, you’ll remember we used this intro for what most consider my generation’s best stepshow. And if you’re […]
