At once a vital portrait of contemporary African-American life and an intensely personal and poetic meditation on identity, family, friendship, and love, Moonlight is a groundbreaking piece of cinema that reverberates with deep compassion and universal truths.Join our listener's group The BQN Collective on Facebook.Follow the network on Instagram & Flashes @BQNPodcastsFind us on BlueSky:  The Network: @BQNpodcastsMark: @MW207Matt: @1701blerdEJ: @EoconMusic: https://freemusicarchive.org/ https://files.freemusicarchive.org/storage-freemusicarchive-org/tracks/5bYo2CCQrTvlatjormsG0jHuaNUPE6OC2aIUiXI8.mp3?download=1&name=Ketsa%20-%20Dancing-Dead.mp3  BQN Podcasts are made possible by the generous contributions of listeners like you.

The subject of todays Top 5 is one of the great American actors; his collaborations with Martin Scorsese alone have created some of the most celebrated moments and characters in film history. A firm favourite of all of the Bad Dads, it's time we sat down to talk about Robert De Niro.2016's MOONLIGHT directed by Barry Jenkins and based on Tarell Alvin McCraney's unpublished semi-autobiographical play "In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue" is this weeks main feature. An indie drama charting the life of Chiron, a poor black drug dealer in Florida, this movie was the first LGBTQ film and the first film with an all-black cast to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Discussing violence, addiction, sexuality, masculinity, crime and poverty amongst other heavyweight themes, this beautifully crafted movie has a distinctive aesthetic and powerful performances at its core.Matt Groening has already experienced the pressure of trying to follow up a hit TV series with FUTURAMA, which followed on from THE SIMPSONS (and we once reviewed, rather pitifully if I'm honest), the question is, can he do it again? DISENCHANTMENT is a Netflix exclusive sitcom set in a medieval fantasy world. Using Groening's recognisable and very much established cartoon art style and a number of the talented voice cast he has worked with on both his previous shows this show had a better chance than most of capturing the Bad Dads hearts. Especially as one of the Dads already considers themselves a fan.We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

Following the #OscarsSoWhite backlash that the Academy recieved after snubbing black actors and filmmakers in 2015, we demanded more diversity in film. In 2016, director Barry Jenkins responded by giving us a beautiful, and sobering look at the coming of age of Chiron, a young gay black man from Florida who has to deal with being the target of constant bullying in his hyper-masculine neighborhood, his father figure in the form of local drug dealer Juan, as well as his mother's battles with addiction. The film, based on the book "In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue", chronicles his life in three segments where he is played by three different actors.
