#BlackAF was a much-discussed topic during it’s initial release. Black Twitter seemed divided over it, so I’m here to weigh in. Take a listen to see if I’m a fan of the comedy or if it should be ejected into space with all the other TV flops.

For the month of June, I will be highlighting documentaries, movies, or films that highlight the political, social, and financial obstacles that Black people in America face as a result of racism and oppression. This week I sit down with my good friend to review Park Avenue: Money, Power and The American Dream. This documentary takes a look at the wealth and power gap in America, and how money influences policy. Rest in Peace Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and the countless others that have been murdered by the police. #BlackLivesMatter.

The Process:

I’ve crafted my own rubric for shows, music, books and movies, which is what my reviews are based on. In the end I land on a rating (out of five), but I try not to focus so much on the number. We all have different tastes so I try to give a very fair review and I try to be very transparent about my biases. My goal is to highlight things that I enjoy, but I understand the need to highlight movies made by, starring, and centered around people of color. For that reason, you might find lesser known movies, music and shows.

Miss Bala stars Gina Rodriguez as an American whose friend has gone missing after going down to Mexico to party. It’s meant to be a bad-ass movie where she kicks ass and takes names on her quest to find her missing friend. Did it translate? Eh…Not really. Listen as I tell you why and where it missed the mark.
