Send us Fan MailOn this 118th episode of the Triple FFF we're going to ease on down the road into my least favorite genre, the musical biopic as we discuss Antoine Fuqua's 2006 tribute to the late great King of Pop, Michael Jackson, cleverly entitled Michael. The film stars Jaafar Jackson — Michael's nephew and the son of Jermaine Jackson — alongside Juliano Krue Valdi as the adult and child versions of Michael respectively,  with Colman Domingo and Nia Long as Joe and Katherine Jackson, plus Laura Harrier, Larenz Tate, Miles Teller, and Mike Myers as the various lawyers, executives, and handlers orbiting the Jackson machine. While a host of no-names inhabit the roles of the Jackson 5 and other random family members who agreed to lend their names or participate in this film.  Joining me this week, to strut his stuff and discuss the finer points of this box office sensation is my good friend, renowned hoofer and MJ mega fan, himself, Dr. David Johnson Before the lights, fancy footwork and hair sizzling pyrotechnics: the synopsis: Michael catalogs the King of Pop's humble beginnings  in Gary, Indiana to success with his brothers in The Jackson 5 to his ultimate rise to global superstardom, ever so briefly highlighting the clashes with his domineering abusive father Joe and record company prejudices while also showcasing quiet moments watching old movies and eating ice cream with his mother or playing Twister with his pet monkey Bubbles.   Does this film have what it takes to earn its sequined socks and glove?  Find out! Watch the video podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/3559W7PH8bg

If you weren't alive to know, or old enough to comprehend, how massively popular Michael Jackson was in the 80s, just picture the biggest music star today and times it by five, at least. This week's movie, “Michael”, tries to give you an idea about how big he was, but you really had to be there to know. This movie shines a bright light on the turbulent childhood the Jackson boys, particularly Michael, went through at the hands of their self-absorbed, tyrannical father, Joe Jackson. Joe created the Jackson 5, with Michael as the lead singer, and got them into the sights of Motown. That primarily got Michael made as the next megastar by Berry Gordy at Motown and Quincy Jones. Still in the background was Michael's familial struggle with his father trying to rule his life with an iron fist and knowing his grip is slipping. Michael fights to be his own man and achieve his own dreams all while being the biggest music star of all time. Is it worth going to see this biopic at the theater? Check out Movies Merica to find out! “Michael” stars Jaafar Jackson, Colman Domingo, Nia Long, Miles Teller, Juliano Valdi, Liv Symone, Laura Harrier, Larenz Tate, John Rabe, KeiLyn Durrel Jones, Kendrick Sampson, Michael Andrew Baker and Zach Kenney. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

In today’s episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, the first story zeroes in on the unsettling news that a man pardoned for his role in the January 6 United States Capitol attack was arrested after allegedly threatening to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Authorities say the text messages were explicit and showed intent, raising new concerns about the effects of mass pardons and political-violence risk in the U.S. legislative sphere. Next up, controversial pastor Marvin Winans came under fire after a livestream showed him chastising a church member for donating less than what he asked for. While both parties later clarified the interaction, the video has ignited debates on giving culture, public shaming in houses of worship, and leadership accountability.

Adam and Chad try to definitely decide which of the most popular "hood movies" of the early 90's is the best. These films were hugely important to young Adam and Chad, and they want to know if they were right for loving them back in the day, and if their opinion has changed over the years. On the surface, both films are very similar. But "under the hood," there are a lot of major differences. What movie is better in your opinion? Who plays the better gangsta: Ice Cube as Doughboy or Larenz Tate as O-Dog?*SPOILER WARNING: FULL SPOILERS FOR BOTH FILMS**Support the show

The year is 1969 and he is sent to Vietnam, leaving his family, his girlfriend Juanita and his friends behind. He experiences the worst of the war and returns home, angry and alienated, to his old girlfriend and his daughter. His friends, who also went to war, have also had their own trials. Each desperate for meaning and for money, they devise a plan to rob an armored car. As you might expect, things get quickly out of hand.In the course of the episode, Jamelle and John discuss the experience of Black veterans in America's wars, the role of Vietnam in American national memory and the way race shapes our understanding of crime.The tagline for “Dead Presidents” is “The only color that counts is green.” You can find the move for rent on iTunes and Amazon.Episodes come out every two weeks, so we will see you then with an episode on the first James Bond film of the 1990s, “Goldeneye.”Connor Lynch produced this episode.
