One Movie Punch

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), which QUEEN & SLIM borrows heavily from thematically speaking, and THE HIGHWAYMEN (Episode #493), which looks at Bonnie & Clyde from law enforcement’s point of view. Before the review, we’ll have a promo from the Ocho Duro Parlay Hour. Every episode, the ODPH Crew work their way through a diverse bunch of topics, everything from comics to movies to television to sports. You can find them on Twitter and Instagram @ODParlayHour and on Facebook @ochoduroparlayhour. Huge shoutout to the ODPH crew for all their suppor
