"Respect," the long-awaited and highly-anticipated feature film that chronicles Aretha Franklin's rise to fame, is now in theaters. The release comes more than a year after the coronavirus pandemic caused the movie's release date to be switched several times. But now, the wait is over!
To celebrate the movie's release, actress and singer Jennifer Hudson, who stars as Franklin in the film, joined director Liesl Tommy on a promotional swing that took them to several big cities across the country. As part of their promotional tour, the two stopped in Detroit, and Terri Lee, film critic for WWJ Newsradio 950 and host of Terri Talks Movies, had an opportunity to sit down with them for an interview.
