Ahead of the the 1000th episode of ‘Smackdown’, WWE is putting out a lot of content related to the show. This video today is one of the best pieces. The Rock is literally a movie star of course, but as far as that show’s best wrestlers, Eddie Guerrero is almost certainly number one on […]
Quincy Jones has had a career and a life that just won’t me duplicated. EGOT. He opened the door for Oprah to go to the next level. He opened the door for Will Smith to go to the next level. Nearly any creative I know would feel like his 90th biggest accomplishment would easily […]
First song of the week. The Shuffle took me back to an underrated Al Green song (just saying that seems a little false). Anyway, my ‘gospel’ collection isn’t terribly deep obviously, but (as I try to emulate in my own way), I dig stories that can reference spirituality without being on the nose about […]
Back in L.A., back into my routine. The trip to my hometown was the best one I’ve ever had. Long overdue conversations with family, reconnecting with friends there I hadn’t seen in years. It was a perfect holiday, right up to the point my asshole iPod decided to segway into ‘You’ve Got to Hide […]
I’m from the school of ‘use humor to point out foul shyt’, so I obviously liked this piece. From the Brits, have to laugh and shake your head at the same time. With a nice little bit of racism and ageism and body shaming thrown in. Enjoy!
The comedy stuff I’ve done hasn’t really been consolidated into one piece, until now. My buddy Jeebz likes to edit, so we tried to tone a few of the parts I’ve played over the years into a ‘comedic timing/hit the punchline’ highlight reel. As far as the intro/outro, hand to God, as we were […]
So yes, to say Spike is ‘back’ is condescending. He’s been working. The word I thought of last night as I walking out of the theatre was ‘accessible.’ This is the most accessible Spike Lee joint in a little bit. My parents have no interest in seeing (and probably don’t even know about) ‘Chi-raq’ and […]
I’m not a ‘gospel’ guy in the traditional sense obviously, but damn this song (and this version) gets to me. And I know I’m far from alone. First time I heard it was in ‘The West Wing’ I think. And Kate McKinnon did a nice version on SNL a year or so ago. Lyrics […]
Barry Jenkins’ trailer dropped this week, and I’m about to hop back onto HBO for Issa, and pretty high odds I’ll have some thoughts on Spike’s new movie next Sunday, and Tessa is…Tessa… So this is as good of a video to start the week as any. Enjoy!
Had a couple of days now to digest ‘Sorry to Bother You’. I still have questions, but maybe that was part of the point when it keeps going deeper into the surreal? For now, let me touch on the things I liked: There’s a line early on where the main character is told ‘You’re […]
