The first images and trailer for Dee Rees’ next film, Mudbound have finally been released. I feel like this one could very well be a fantastic Oscar contender. The film is Rees’ follow-up from her first two films Pariah and Bessie. Mudbound had great success at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, and when it launches…

Anime fans are going to have an interesting time with Jaden Smith’s latest project, Neo Yokio. The project itself is delightfully weird in that classic Jaden Smith/alternative black kid way—the show was created by Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig, which is the first clue that this show is tailor-made for black alternakids—as a college student, I…

Marvel is getting ready to bring us Luke Cage Season 2, and Misty Knight finally has her bionic arm! The first look image was released exclusively via Entertainment Weekly, and it shows Luke (Mike Colter) and Misty (Simone Missick) on the case, as it were (maybe they’re walking to take down Shades and Mariah?). What’s…

Despite characters like Sofia Vergara’s Gloria in ABC’s Modern Family and the casts of Lifetime’s Devious Maids and TNT’s Queen of the South existing in…

When I watched Netflix’s latest success, GLOW, what I expected was to see a faithful-to-the-ugly-’80s dramedy about the makings of real-life ’80s wrestling show GLOW: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. I expected a focus on strong women, which there was. But what I didn’t expect was a sneak attack of much-needed racial commentary. One of the show’s overarching…

With a move that was a shock to many fans, WGN America cancelled its flagship scripted program Underground. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network cancelled the hit program because of a new direction. In the wake of parent commpany Tribune Media’s $3.9 billion planned acquisition by Sinclair Broadcast Group, the cable network’s future as a…

Who knew Twitter would turn into the next Hollywood casting office! It’s amazing that this tweet about the two stars at a 2014 Miu Miu fashion show: Rihanna looks like she scams rich white men and lupita is the computer smart best friend that helps plan the scans https://t.co/PhWs1xd3nj — akame (@ebnyhottie) April 18, 2017 launched…

We could talk all day about Finn Jones and the albatross around his neck that is Iron Fist. Starting out the gate, Marvel’s Iron Fist, which will premiere on Netflix March 17,  has a 14 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The Marvel fanboys might be in a tizzy about this, but this is really a blessing in disguise. Everything remained…

If there are a couple of characters I’m super intrigued about (aside from my fav Jughead), it’s Reggie, Josie and her band The Pussycats. I feel there’s a lot of potential with these characters; the only question is if that potential will be mined to its fullest extent. You might be asking, in the words…
