Latin Grammys, 'Justice League' Movie Review, Gil Robertson on Multicultural Film Critics

Listen Later

We talk Latin Grammy Awards with music journalist Isabela Raygoza from Rolling Stone Magazine. We break down the top categories, the possible upsets, what to expect from the telecast and why some of your favorite stars weren’t nominated.

Also, I review one of the most anticipated movies of the year, DC’s Justice League, with two film critic friends of mine - Julian Roman from MovieWeb.com and Emerson Unger from NY’s K104.7 - as we give our FIRST REACTION as we leave a private advanced screening in NY’s WB screening room. You won’t want to miss that…

And speaking of film critics, Gil Robertson, President of the African-American Film Critics Association joins the show to discuss the future of multicultural film and tv criticism with a new venture his launching called Kaleidoscope Reviews, where he looks to raise awareness of the importance of having African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Asian and Native American film critics in Hollywood.
