This film made its worldwide debut at the Sundance Film Festival while also being a directorial debut for Rebecca Hall.

On this week's episode of Kickin & Streamin Podcast, Graham & Jocelyn are joined by Geaux Dee & Smash of the Talka Brothas Podcast to review the much anticipated 'The Harder They Fall.'  A film by Jeymes Samuel, British writer, director, singer-songwriter, and music produce. The Harder They Fall became one of the most anticipated and talked about upcoming films in 2021 because it would be a Western film featuring all black cast; which included Regina King, Idris Elba, Zazie Beetz,  Jonathan Majors, Lakeith Stanfield, among others. The film, although a fictional story, portrayed real-life historical Black Americans who existed in the old American West. Graham, Jocelyn, Geaux Dee, and Smash review the film's overall production from the story arcs, the portrayals, the score, and its visual components as a whole. They also ponder whether The Harder The Fall is a great Western film by itself, or it was perhaps aided by the constellation of stars who appeared in it.  The crew also addressed the accusations of colorism levied at the director and the producers of the movie for casting German-American actress Zazie Beetz as the very well known African-American female icon 'Stagecoach Mary.'  Clips of this episode will also be available to watch on our YouTube channel and please don't forget to subscribe for future episodes.

On this episode of Kickin & Streamin Podcast Graham & Jocelyn review the film 'The Many Saints of Newark.' The much anticipated film is a prequel to the HBO crime series 'The Sopranos," which at its airing time was one HBO's most successful and popular series before Game of Thrones. The Many Saints of Newark gives us a look back into the upbringing and the making of Tony Soprano, featuring Michael Gandolfini as a young Tony, the iconic role played by his father James Gandolfini, who passed away suddenly in 2013 while vacationing in Italy. Graham suggested the film may have left enough loose ends to warrant more subsequent films to come out over the next years. Jocelyn on the other hand believes the film's success might lea to another TV series, and making the movie was merely a trial or a pilot. Graham & Jocelyn continue the conversation about the movie and the cast. This episode will also be available to watch on our YouTube channel and please don't forget to subscribe for future episodes.

On this week's episode of Kickin & Streamin Podcast, Graham & Jocelyn review Dave Chappelle's final Netflix stand-up special The Closer, in which he addresses past controversies and his long standing feud with the LGBTQ community among others. Graham & Jocelyn begin by acknowledging that Dave Chappelle is a master of the provocative comedy and one of the most individuals in the art of standup comedy. Graham asks whether any of the points Chappelle makes in The Closer are genuinely what the comedian believes, or is he presenting us with an undecipherable parable whose point we're missing? Graham and Jocelyn dissect the content of the comedy special and the multiple jabs Chappelle directed at the LGBTQ community, especially towards the Trans community. Graham & Jocelyn revisit together some of the more incendiary statements during The Closer, and Dave's seemingly shrugging off the accusations of being transphobic because he was friends with the late Transgender stand-up comedian Daphne Dorman who died by suicide a few months after defending Dave's 2019 Netflix Special Sticks & Stones. Graham & Jocelyn end the episode condemning the vociferous calls from various sectors of the LGBTQ community demanding the removal of The Closer from Netflix's platform. Graham believes Dave Chappelle ended his special by extending an olive branch to a community he feels might have failed to listen to his grievances and towards whom it's directed.  Graham & Jocelyn posit, furthermore, that it's important to accept the fact that Dave Chappelle is a master "provocateur par excellence;" therefore his art should be taken with a grain of salt, but called out whenever necessary.  

On this episode of Kickin & Streamin Podcast, Graham & Jocelyn review the Netflix limited series "Midnight Mass" starring Kate Siegel, Hamish Linklater, Samantha Sloyan, and Zach Gilford. Graham begins by explaining why most people seem frustrated and disappointed about the series, but it's mostly because viewers created predictable expectations of a series that was anything but predictable. Graham & Jocelyn discuss how the series navigated the complex intersectionality of faith, religion, and its effects on the human psyche. Jocelyn explains some of her disappointments at the series plot, but Graham helped Jocelyn understand why some parts of the story may have seem illogical.   This episode will also be available to watch on our YouTube channel and please don't forget to subscribe for future episodes.
