Dave Chappelle: The Age of Spin – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
After the “Meh” Trevor Noah special and Amy Schumer’s which was, like a cheap knockoff of a brand name comedian, Chappelle redeems Netflix’s comedy lineup with “The Age of Spin.”
Live Performance
Amy Schumer (The Leather Special) – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
I’d like to think I enjoy vulgar comedy. After all, the majority of comedians I like can’t do a complete stand-up performance without some mention of bodily fluids, sex, or cursing. Much less, I’m a fan of the people Judd Apatow made famous. Yet, while I loved Trainwreck, I felt reminded why I have never…
Latin History for Morons – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
As with any John Leguizamo theater performance, you get a strong sense of Latin culture, him manically controlling your attention and, with the subject matter, he even educates you a little bit.
The Watsons Go to Birmingham – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
The Watsons Go To Birmingham is a book, I believe, I had to read sometime in Middle School. Unfortunately I don’t remember one bit of it, but if this film don’t do it justice, than I doubt any other would. For, we have the established Anika Noni Rose and Wood Harris playing the parents,…
Steins;Gate the Movie: Loading Area of Déjà vu – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Being a fan of the original Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate series, I was waiting a long time for this OVA to be released.

The Trans List – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) The Trans List, in many ways, seems like the thereafter or “Where Are They Now” sequel to Laverne Cox’s The T Word. For with each struggle as a child, teen or young adult, you have this person who made it. They sometimes aren’t 100% sure how, but here they are. Alive,…
Fade (Play) – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
While predictable at times, Fade brings seldom heard voices to the stage. One which verbalizes a familiar tale with a different culture as the focus.
Trevor Noah: Afraid of the Dark – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
While Trevor Noah, like many comedians today, dabbles in observations on politics, traveling and life, there isn’t a lot of yelling, screaming, cursing and what have you. It’s about the storytelling, the use of accents, and the type of comedy you hear from friends every day. Just laced up well into an hour long special.
The New Edition Story (Part 1) – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
All TV Biopics aim to be on the level of the Temptations or Little Richard, but often times they at worse are the Aaliyah movie or on the level of CrazySexyCool. However, with The New Edition Story, be it because it is in multiple parts and not cramming 5 lives and careers into two hours,…
The Coconut Oil Tour (Featuring Lizzo) – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
While the opening acts bring about a sort of blemish to the show, Lizzo makes heading out to the Bowery Ballroom worth your time.
