well, what I’m working on…
The weekend, and a new month! The playlist gave me a couple of my favorite ‘hood’ jams: ‘I’m a Thug’, and ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’. But, I just refuse to start Black History Month posting one of those. So we’ll start the weekend with New Edition. Enjoy gang, next Best Picture review Super Bowl […]
I know. There was a Prince song in this spot last week. But when they decide to put up a video of my single favorite Prince song ever, a song I didn’t even know he made a video for? Well, you’re going to have to suck it up if you don’t like the Purple […]
Editor’s Note first: now that we know what’s what, my feelings are the Oscar nominated films I haven’t touched yet will start up again Sunday night. My reaction looking over the nominations this morning: there are some definite frontrunners (mostly in the acting categories), but I really don’t know who’s winning Best Picture. More […]
Let’s bring the music into this week. An oldie but goodie to start this week; I swear this song is the audio version of Sam Jackson beer to me. Soon as I hear the beat, the fists and elbows start swinging! Enjoy!
On the weekend of the 2nd Women’s March, I thought I’d start this week by publicly acknowledging something I ‘borrowed’ from a woman… Somewhere down the line, I heard Kerry Washington uses this technique called ‘Who Am I?’ As you’ll see below, it’s a mini cheat sheet that, for actors at least, can quickly […]
Happy MLK weekend everyone! Some of the Black Panther conversations I’ve had this week turned into ‘What other pop culture things felt like everyone had to see it right away (before we had social media)?’ Michael Jackson video premieres definitely were on the list, thus today’s choice (particularly with the cast, setting and director […]
Just because… Told the homie yesterday I realized there’s a certain starlet I’ll always associate with a Beatles song. Just because, not counting layovers at McCarran, have my mind on this year’s Vegas day trip. Just because, they finally posted an HD version of this video. Just because I love this song. Enjoy!
If you’ve lived in LA for any period of time, you’ve seen the billboard. You may have even gone to one of the midnight screenings of ‘the Room’ (I admit at this point I still haven’t seen it, but I’m familiar with the ‘making of’ story, as most film geeks are. As now Golden […]
A solemn day for my tribe today. Marek Jacobs, one of the young brothers who brought me into Alpha at the University of Kansas, passed away after a fight with stomach cancer. I can’t tell you the specific first time I met Brother Jacobs, but I imagine it was something along the lines of […]
Some of my people who saw ‘The Big Sick’ before me predicted I would like this movie. They were right. A classic (financially speaking) middle class movie the studios don’t focus on anymore, ‘The Big Sick’ is a rom com for the modern age. Kumail is a stand up comedian in Chicago paying his […]
