I'm geeking out over the Moviepass documentary. I love movies and going to the theater, having had a movie pass to my local theater for a couple years. I'll definitely watch the documentary and think about investing in Moviepass. It'd be nice to have my pick of all the theaters in my area, especially know it supports a Black-owned business.
I loved Bottoms. Ayo and Rachel have great chemistry and I love Emma’s sense of humor. Shiva Baby had me cry-laughing and Bottoms did not disappoint.
I have a lot of family who migrated to England during the Windrush era and watching Small Axe helped me understand their experience better. Being able to ask them about what I saw in the series helped ground it in reality.
I was so sad when MoviePass shut down. I joined it when it first came out to support the creators and it was such a good idea! I saw so many movies because of that app. I haven’t joined it since it bounced back because they’re no longer behind it.
I really enjoyed Shiva Baby too! I think I’ve been in a bit of a Windrush binge because I also watched Black Cake which I’ll write about more in depth. MoviePass is was bought back by Stacy Spikes so if you get a subscription again, you’ll be supporting the man who founded it.
As always, YOU COME THROUGH! Thanks for such an extensive read! I forgot all about 'The Women of Brewster Place'...definitely am intrigued by your Brazilophile posture + will check out this film...I watched 'Tell Them You Love Me' + was completely disgusted + disappionted, also, that the white saviorship wasn't discussed more in-depth...+ the Gordon Parks Film is a gift! He was a true genius! Lastly, thanks for the June Playlist...ready to set my background music as I head out of the country!
Is the Small Axes series you mentioned on prime or hbo? It sounds familiar—was one of the films about a protest in Nottingham (The sister on Black Panther is in it, her name is escaping me at the moment), and another film is about John Boyega playing one of the first Black police officers in somewhere like Birmingham?

It's a really great service, considering how expensive movies are. I hope it gets people back to the theaters more often.

I didn’t realize Stacy Spiked bought it back! That’s good to know, thank you!

Thanks for your support, as always! What country you headed to?
I am heading across the pond to spend some time in Europe + beyond...celebrating my many circles around the sun...
He really did a beautiful thing with that series of films, so creative! Love love love
I gotta get into the other films. I was in the mood for something lighthearted when I started watching Lover’s Rock so I didn’t continue the series.
If you end up watching the other ones, I hope you write a blurb about your thoughts. 🙂
Thanks amazing! Happy solar return, enjoy your trip 🖤🖤🖤

Yes! It’s the one on Prime.
