FYI for OFMD fans near NYC! @zayreferrer.bsky.social's film Bembé is premiering June 5th! #BrooklynFilmFestival #Bembé youtube.com/shorts/Q9hzz...

Today I got to talk to the incredible Zayre Ferrer. They wrote on s1 and s2 of OFMD and are SUCH a delight! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...

If the podcast bros would only get obsessed with analyzing this production of Death of a Salesman, the world might be saved.

Been watching 80s thrillers on Tubi lately and ran into this little beauty. "Betrayed" 1988. Full of good actors. It got panned when it came out because critics thought the white supremacy was exaggerated, and the FBI not caring about the death of a black man was unrealistic. SMH.

Well, those numbers aren't encouraging 🫤

Starring: Nathaly Navarro Mauro Castillo Lex Lumpkin Rafael Castillo Fernando Huc with Vico Ortiz and a special appearance by Carlos El Grande #BembéMovie 🪘

If you are in Chicago go to this meeting. Bring someone with you. Shannon Downey is a force of nature.

227 and The Golden Girls premiered on the same night September 1985. Only now realizing they have the same female dynamic. sassy lead: Mary (Dorothy) funny senior: Pearl (Sophia) sweet one: Rose (Rose) sexy one: Sandra (Blanche) Good binge. Highly recommend!

Atlanta blessed us with the visual poetry of Afro-Surrealism. With the pain and beauty of the mundane. This is my favorite part:

Key & Peele gave us two best friends getting the sillies at such a high level. They were thinking what we were thinking, just way louder. They gave us so many characters and so many jokes we're still discovering more of them all these years later. This is my favorite part:

Insecure let us be young and foolish. Falling in love, making mistakes but growing all the while. It let us be exquisitely human. This is my favorite part:

A Different World gave us a cast of characters so diverse you could see parts of yourself reflected in each one. It was fun, it was real. And we couldn't wait to go to college. This is my favorite part:

Will's mom sent us all to live with Aunt Viv and Uncle Phil. And we got to see how the other half lives, when the other half looks like us. This is my favorite part:

The Boondocks gave us fearless, razor sharp satire about the nonsense within ourselves and the world we live in. This is my favorite part:

Living Single is the blueprint. A squad of New York friends, each one funnier than the next. Living, loving, and acting a fool together. This is my favorite part:

Martin gave us a great group of friends and a ton of wacky neighbors plucked straight out of our own neighborhoods. This is my favorite part:

Imaginary Spin-Offs I’m Watching #73: Homeland: Exile Imprisoned but innocent. Now, after years in Guantanamo, she’s back in Afghanistan—a homeland she barely recognizes. She swears she wants to live in peace, but Saul is convinced she’ll seek revenge. Is he just chasing his own conscience?

Imaginary Spin-Offs I’m Watching #72: Momma’s Family Housing is limited, and extended families living together in the family home is the norm again. You can either get along with Momma, pay sky-high rent, or go sleep in a tent. Take your pick. At least there’s good potato salad in here.

#71: I Dream of Jeannie: Unleashed One minute, she's minding her ancient business. Next, some helpless man’s rubbing up her bottle begging for rescue. But there's no lovelorn aspiring housewife here. This Jeannie is an old fashioned trickster jinn who gets along with her sister. "Master" my foot.

#70: Sanford & Son: Reclaimed Junk ain’t what it used to be. This newfangled stuff don’t rust, it just falls apart! So, Pops upgrades the shop to a high class recycling operation. Poor Lamont's gotta pulp a lopsided Ikea bookshelves into world-class kitty litter using nothing but a blender.
