Dans cette reco du weekend, petit retour dans le passé avec That 70s Show, mais aussi avec Tout le monde déteste Chris pour finir sur The Middle (à ne pas confondre avec Malcolm in the Middle), avec trois générations différentes de familles américaines de la classe moyenne. That 70s Show 1998, démarre une sitcom américaine qui va devenir rapidement culte. Si vous aviez raté l'info, Netflix prépare une suite intitulée That 90s Show avec les enfants d'Eric et Donna (qui forment l'un des rares couples à se retrouver de la plus belle des façons) mais également avec l'équipe de That 70s Show et de nombreuses anciens sont de la partie (en gros, tout le monde). Aucune date n'a été annoncée pour le moment mais en tout cas, le projet est bien en cours. Revenons à notre sitcom culte. C'est une bande de six ados qui vivent leurs meilleures vies dans le Wisconsin des années 70 en plein courant hippie. On y retrouve Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, Mila Unis et Ashton Kutcher notamment, qui ont été propulsés sous le feu des projecteurs grâce à la série. Huit saisons où les personnages ont connu des peines de cœur, où ils ont mûri aussi, toujours dans l'humour. On retrouve les cas classiques des sitcoms avec des personnages un peu stéréotypés mais la bande principale est assez attachante pour que la série puisse parler à tout le monde. Les parents n'y vont pas de main morte non plus, et la sitcom nous donne un petit goût de la vie américaine de l'époque. https://youtu.be/b1za7d3KvHw Tout le monde déteste Chris On avance un peu dans le temps, et voici 2005, alors que Chris Rock gagne en popularité, une sitcom va être adaptée de son enfance. Nait à ce moment-là Tout le monde déteste Chris qui dépeint une famille Afro-Américaine lambda dans les années 80 qui va quitter leur Brooklyn principalement noir pour déménager dans un autre quartier plus blanc. À partir de ce moment-là, le jeune Chris, aîné de sa fratrie, va devoir s'intégrer dans son nouveau collège et trouver sa place. Dans le rôle titre, c'est Tyler James Williams (qu'on retrouve avec plaisir aujourd'hui dans Abbott Elementary) qui campe le petit filou Chris. Quant à son père, on reconnaîtra Terry Crews. Le clash des cultures est présenté sous un angle humoristique, mais au fond, on sent que l'intégration n'est pas facile. Dans la lignée des autres sitcoms présentant des familles noires à l'écran, diffusée sur la CW à l'époque où elle lançait des programmes ciblant ce public, Tout le monde déteste Chris a permis d'ancrer encore plus le nom de Chris Rock dans la pop culture. https://youtu.be/fgKvctsfjDc The Middle On arrive en 2009, avec une nouvelle sitcom familial autour de la classe moyenne américaine qui habite cette fois-ci dans l'Indiana. Avec ses 9 saisons, The Middle a su capturer l'essence de la All-American Family, il faut dire qu'elle a été créée par Eileen Heisler et DeAnn Heline, des anciennes de Roseanne ou encore Murphy Brown. Frankie (Patricia Heaton) et Mike (Neil Flynn) ont trois enfants, et parfois, ils ne savent plus où donner de la tête. Surtout Frankie, notre narratrice, qui semble plutôt gérer quatre enfants. Reprenant les codes des sitcoms familiales, The Middle coche toutes les cases de la sitcom familiale avec un fils pas très académique mais bon en sport, une fille aux normes sociales douteuses et un petit dernier rat de bibliothèque sur le spectre. On se surprend en tout cas à vouloir accompagner cette famille sympathique. Souvent considérée comme une série trop peu regardée malgré sa longévité, elle a eu toutefois du mal à s'exporter à l'étranger et n'a jamais atteint le succès d'un Malcolm. https://youtu.be/1JyBVCAjvZw Voici trois sitcoms disponibles sur Salto pour passer un bon moment familial.

Black boys matter. Such a simple statement. And yet... George Floyd is dead. His name joins the long list of others (Trayvon Martin, Philando Castile, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, etc., etc., etc...) whose lives have been cut short by racism, bias and brutality. Photo via Pixabay We here at ON BOYS are NOT OK with the status quo. We are committed to equity and opportunity, to listening and learning. We will not be silent.  This week -- and as often as possible -- we are amplifying black voices. Today’s guest is Chandra White-Cummings, a freelance writer and lawyer who’s served as a policy fellow for Moms of Black Boys United. We also encourage you to check out Chandra's recent Washington Post article, "We Need More White Parents to Talk to Their Kids About Race. Especially Now," and her new Race@Home multimedia series, featuring conversations about race, socialization and parenting. “There is a lot of discussion going on about suicide, mental health, emotional wellness and stigma, much of it centered around what’s going on in the African-American and other communities of color,” Chandra says. “However, often, it is the sad unfortunate case that African-American women — moms — don’t get invited into these conversations.” Let's listen, and then act. #BlackLivesMatter #podcastblackout In this episode, Jen, Janet & Chandra discuss: Factors affecting mental health in the African-American community Implicit, unconscious bias How racism causes parents to “over-pathologize” black boys’ behavior The loss of protective factors — tight-knit communities, nearby family — that once helped support mental health The need for connection How society often misinterprets anxiety and depression in boys — which may manifest as rage and irritability — as “danger” rather than symptomatic of a mental health concern Racial disparities in schools How to begin dismantling implicit bias How trauma impacts mental health —  & how the legacy of slavery impacts mental health today Why it’s time to listen to (rather than study) the black community Engaging in conversations about racism Links we mentioned (or should have) in this episode: We Need More White Parents to Talk to Their Children About Race.

Suicide rates among black boys ages 13-19 rose 60% from 2001 to 2017. And for children ages 5-12, black males are committing suicide at higher rates than any other racial or ethnic group. Significant numbers of black boys are ending their lives before puberty. This is not OK. "There is a lot of discussion going on about suicide, mental health, emotional wellness and stigma, much of it centered around what's going on in the African-American and other communities of color," says today's guest, Chandra White-Cummings is a lawyer who's served as a policy fellow for Moms of Black Boys United. "However, often, it is the sad unfortunate case that African-American women -- moms -- don't get invited into these conversations." That's not OK either. Together, Chandra, Janet and Jen attempt to untangle the intertwining threads that affect black boys' mental health (and their parents' mental health) and figure out how parents, teachers and communities can effectively support black boys. In this episode, Jen, Janet & Chandra discuss: Factors affecting mental health in the African-American community Implicit, unconscious bias How racism causes parents to "over-pathologize" black boys' behavior The loss of protective factors -- tight-knit communities, nearby family -- that once helped support mental health The need for connection How society often misinterprets anxiety and depression in boys -- which may manifest as rage and irritability -- as "danger" rather than symptomatic of a mental health concern Racial disparities in schools How to begin dismantling implicit bias How trauma impacts mental health --  & how the legacy of slavery impacts mental health today Why it's time to listen to (rather than study) the black community Engaging in conversations about racism Links we mentioned (or should have) in this episode: www.cwcmediagroup.com -- Chandra's website.

Back in March, Mitchell S. Jackson came to San Francisco on tour for his latest book, Survival Math: Notes on an All-American Family. With a poet’s gifted ear, a novelist’s sense of narrative, and a journalist’s unsentimental eye, Mitchell S. Jackson candidly explores his tumultuous youth in the other America. Survival Math takes its name from the calculations Mitchell and his family made to keep safe—to stay alive—in their community, a small black neighborhood in Portland, Oregon blighted by drugs, violence, poverty, and governmental neglect. This event was recorded live at The Bindery on March 12, 2019. Litquake's 20th anniversary festival will take place October 10-19, 2019.

In this latest episode of Beyond The Margin, host Michael Shields interviews award-winning filmmaker, TV producer, writer and podcaster Andrew Jenks with an episode focused on his latest project WHAT REALLY HAPPENED? Andrew Jenks is a prodigious storyteller who found success early on in his career. His participatory documentary Room 355, set in an assisted living facility, was picked up by HBO when he was just 19 years old. Following that he crafted additional documentaries aiming attention on the U.S. Criminal Justice System (dream/killer), the struggles of living with HIV/AIDS (It’s Not Over), and a bevy of other extraordinary stories (The Zen of Bobby Z, All American Family, Posterized). The New York Times has remarked that Andrew’s work “shines a light on populations that many of us would just as soon forget,” and now, he is utilizing his storytelling and research-based investigative reporting prowess in the podcasting realm with WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?, a podcast where Andrew examines and contextualizes famous figures and historical events, while discovering untold stories and unraveling newfound narratives. Andrew often times throws a wrench in the gears of history, getting either closer to the truth or creating more questions. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED? is executive produced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Dany Garcia of Seven Bucks Productions, Brian Gewirtz, Andrew Jenks and Cadence 13.In this episode, Michael and Andrew dig into the intricacies of the podcast series, and examine Jenks’ personal connection to the stories he is telling, ranging in topic from Winston Churchill to Michael Jordan to Bridgegate, Britney Spears and beyond. What this episode amounts to is an introduction to an altogether fascinating and talented filmmaker and human being, and also a behind the scenes look at a remarkably compelling podcast series.
