Summary
Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. are grabbing their sequined gloves and moonwalking into the theater for their review of Antoine Fuqua's highly anticipated, larger-than-life biopic, MICHAEL . Ray and Tre'vell get into the nitty-gritty of the film's execution, unpacking how Fuqua handles the polarizing icon through the Black gaze and whether the biopic actually gives what it's supposed to give or just glosses over the messy truth. Tune in for their hella honest verdict: is this jukebox musical spectacle a "Seated," "Stream It," or a " Skip It?" Plus, the hosts play a special edition of the Black Cinema Games titled "Fuqua Focus," highlighting the gritty, action-packed catalog of director Antoine Fuqua . Finally, they close the show with Good Vibes Only, sharing what's bringing them joy this week.
