However, one of those films leaked. Yes folks, last weekend a com...

For our review this week, we watched the recorded Broadway show, Memphis. Boasting a predominan...

Hey y’all, Black representation in film has a long and complicated past that extends back to the beginning of Film. Blackface, racial disparity behind the scenes, and more all made it difficult for accurate Black representation by Black artists. And in the wake of the Civil Rights movement came a subgenre all its own, Blaxploitation. The style of filmmaking taps into many of the zeitgeist elements of the 1970s, including sex and violence on screen, and even included Horror. For this week’s epi...
