This film is one HUGE film ... not only in scale, commitment, and scope. But also in length. This film is extremely long ... especially if you watch the over three-and-half hour Director's Cut.  However, regardless of which version you decide to screen, you will be transported to the historical, glorious, and heartbreaking world of the final emperor of China in the early part of the 20th century. Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor is deep in meaning and rich in themes, and is exhilarating to watch as the visuals will take you to a place you have never been before. A world where you can experience through history books. It is a special film that took home the top prize at the Academy Awards almost 4 decades ago.Looking back, was it deserving of the Best Picture Oscar from all the films released in 1987?  Listen and find out what film critic Jack Ferdman thinks, and which film he chooses for his Rewatch Oscar of that year.Download, listen, and share ALL Rewatching Oscar episodes.SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW Rewatching Oscar:Website: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comApple Podcasts/iTunesSpotifyGoogle PodcastsiHeart RadioPodchaserPodcast AddictTuneInAlexaAmazon Overcasts Podcast Addict Player FMRSS Feed: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1815964.rssWebsite: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comSocial Media Links: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, BlueSkyShare your thoughts and suggestions with us through:Facebook Messenger or email us atjack@rewatchingoscar.com or jackferdman@gmail.comMusic by TurpacShow Producer: Jack FerdmanPodcast Logo Design: Jack FerdmanMovie (audio) trailer courtesy of MovieClips Classic TrailersMovie (audio) clips courtesy of YouTubeSupport us by downloading, sharing, and giving us a 5-star Rating.  It helps our podcast continue to reach many people and make it available to share more episodes with everyone.Send us Fan Mail

From culture to controversy, today’s show delivers big headlines and even bigger conversations. The crew kicks things off with The Chi entering its eighth and final season, bringing closure to one of the longest-running Black drama series as characters face high-stakes decisions in what’s being described as the show’s most intense chapter yet. The conversation then shifts to a powerful interview with NAACP President Derrick Johnson, who breaks down concerns about voting rights and is urging top Black athletes to be more intentional about where they take their talents, as the NAACP’s “Out of Bounds” campaign calls for boycotts of schools in states accused of weakening Black political representation. The discussion blends urgency with empowerment, encouraging listeners to stay informed and engaged. Things heat up in entertainment and sports with Claressa Shields making headlines after a heated altercation with fellow boxer Alycia Baumgardner, where an on-camera slap led to backlash and even a ban from future events, highlighting ongoing tensions between the two fighters.

Christopher Downie's filmmaking journey began the same way many indie filmmakers start—with VHS tapes, cheap cameras, and a deep obsession with movies. But after discovering Kevin Smith's Clerks and the View Askewniverse films, filmmaking transformed from a hobby into an identity. In this episode, Christopher shares the unbelievable story behind Shooting Clerks, the ambitious biopic about the making of Clerks, and how years of fan films, persistence, and sheer determination eventually earned the support of Kevin Smith himself.The conversation dives deep into the realities of independent filmmaking: actors not showing up, productions collapsing, hard drives failing days before premieres, crowdfunding chaos, and the constant need to improvise under pressure. But beneath the filmmaking war stories is a larger lesson about creativity itself—that great indie filmmaking often comes from limitations, not resources. Christopher's story becomes a reminder that the DIY spirit that inspired Clerks decades ago is still alive today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

Black on Black Cinema reviews Michael (2026), Antoine Fuqua's Michael Jackson biopic starring Jaafar Jackson as the King of Pop. While Jaafar delivers a great impression of his uncle Michael, the film itself is a shallow, sanitized music biopic that refuses to engage with Jackson's complexity and controversies. Director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, The Equalizer) crafts a visually stunning but emotionally hollow portrait that hits every musical biopic cliché—rise to fame, family dysfunction, creative genius, tragic decline, and rise again without taking risks or offering fresh insight into one of music's most complicated icons.We break down why the film fails despite strong performances, analyzing how it sidesteps difficult questions about Jackson's life, allegations, and legacy in favor of a safe, reverential approach. The Thriller recreation is impressive, the musical sequences are well-executed, and Jaafar's physical transformation is remarkable—but beneath the spectacle lies a film afraid to be honest about its subject. We discuss what a truly great Michael Jackson film would require, compare it to other music biopics, examine the Jackson estate's involvement and creative control, and explore why Hollywood keeps making shallow biopics instead of complex character studies. Essential viewing for understanding how NOT to make a music biopic.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

The show kicks off with a sharp mix of politics, pop culture, and heated commentary as Donald Trump dominates headlines after launching a late‑night barrage on Truth Social aimed at Barack Obama, including reposts calling for Obama’s arrest and inflammatory AI-generated images. The controversy lands as Americans grapple with rising gas prices tied to the ongoing Iran conflict and global oil tensions, raising questions about priorities as Trump heads into high‑stakes talks with China, a major buyer of Iranian oil. The episode also dives into viral relationship drama after Cardi B is caught on camera arguing with Stefon Diggs, only for the rapper to brush it off online, joking that she “forgot she was a celebrity” and was simply hungry — a response that turned potential backlash into meme‑worthy humor. In music and entertainment news, Chris Brown fires back after Pitchfork delivers a brutal 1.3/10 review of his new 27‑track album Brown, calling it “soulless” and reigniting debates about critics versus fan loyalty as Brown doubles down on performing for his core audience. Meanwhile, the Michael Jackson biopic Michael continues its box-office dominance, officially becoming the second highest‑grossing biopic of all time after crossing $577 million worldwide, cementing the King of Pop’s lasting cultural impact and audience draw despite mixed critical reviews.

Send us Fan MailWe finally saw Michael — Antoine Fuqua's long-awaited biopic about the King of Pop — and we have thoughts. Dan and Mike break down Jaafar Jackson's performance as his legendary uncle, the film's decision to sidestep the 1993 allegations entirely, and whether the finished product does justice to one of the most complicated legacies in music history.We get into what Fuqua gets right — the recreation of Thriller, the Jackson 5 years, the raw energy of Michael on stage — and what the film conspicuously leaves out. With a 97% audience score and only a 38% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, Michael has sparked a real fan-versus-critic divide, and we fall somewhere in between.If you've seen it, you know there's a lot to unpack.

The film follows the life of famed musician Michael Jackson from early childhood to the middle of his career as one of the biggest names in music history.

This episode of All Pop, No Culture starts with Lauren's review of The Devil Wears Prada 2, which turns out to be a stronger sequel than expected. The conversation covers Anne Hathaway's return as Andy Sachs, Meryl Streep's more vulnerable Miranda Priestly, the fashion-world politics, and how the new movie updates its themes for the digital era. Andrew then delivers a passionate review of Michael, the new Michael Jackson biopic, praising Jaafar Jackson's performance and arguing that the film succeeds on its own terms even if critics seem hung up on what it leaves for a future sequel. Kevin and Lauren join in on the debate around biopics, controversy, and whether critics are approaching the movie through the wrong lens. Kevin closes the main review section with a disappointed take on Beef Season 2, explaining why the new cast and story never quite match the energy, humor, or emotional impact of the first season. The episode also includes quick thoughts on From Season 4, Euphoria Season 3, and a preview of the movies and shows still coming later this year.

A new estate-backed film, Michael, tells the story of Michael Jackson’s rise from Gary, Indiana to global fame, highlighting hits like Thriller and his record-breaking success. But it ends before major scandals, and it leaves out the US musician's race and politics, including his solidarity with Palestine. What story is being told, and what is being erased?
