Episode 666 - Queen and Slim (2019) 12/09/2019 Hi everyone! Welcome back to Matinee Monday. Today’s film is not for the faint of heart, nor for anyone who enjoys a feel good story. I actually left the theatre struggling with a lot of themes, which makes it a great film for conversation, but is that the same thing as a great film? I’ll let you know about that, and the double standards for films featuring black lives, in just a minute. However, for a few other films related to today’s film, check out our review for MOONLIGHT (Episode #406),

Episode 645 - Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) 11/18/2019 Hi everyone! Welcome back to another Matinee Monday. Last week had two films I wanted to see in theaters, but instead I chose to cover “Harriet” (Episode #638) last week. Believe it or not, I was a little gun shy about today’s film after the disappointing franchise closer “Rambo: Last Blood” (Episode #634). But despite box office returns, the film seems to be faring well. I’ll let you know in a minute if it fared well with me. Before the review, we’ll have a promo from our friends at Two Views

Episode 638 - Harriet (2019) 11/11/2019 Hi everyone! Welcome back to Matinee Mondays. I’ve been super excited for this film since I saw the first trailer, because it tells the story of one of my personal heroes, a real-life superhero that fought against a despicable practice. I’ll save the rest of my thoughts about “Harriet” for the review, but for a few other films about the historical black experience, although a little later on, check out “If Beale Street Could Talk” (Episode #465) and “BlacKKKlansman” (Episode #225).
