POPULARITY
Morris From America is a 2016 coming-of-age comedy starring Markees Christmas and Craig Robinson (The Office, This Is The End) about an African-American father and son living in a small town in Germany, while the father coaches soccer. Morris deals with being a fish out of water by holding onto his American roots as an avid hip-hop lover, but it isn't before long that he meets a teenage girl named Katrin who pushes him out of his shell. Although the film wasn't commercially successful, it screened at Sundance Film Festival winning a special jury prize, and garnered much critical praise following its release. These A24 fans bring along guest Christopher Para to discuss the comedic and dramatic beats of the movie, while also discussing their own unique stories of partying in strange places inspired by a scene from the film. What will they rate Morris From America? Caution: movie spoilers. Our next five films we're reviewing: 40. The Sea of Trees 41. American Honey 42. Moonlight 43. Oasis: Supersonic 44.

John-Michael chats with actor/comedian Craig Robinson about comedy, acting and his new series titled "Killing It" on Peacock, and his shows at the San Jose Improv that you can check out at https://improv.com/sanjose/comic/craig+robinson/ Here's a little about Craig:Beginning as a stand-up comedian in Chicago, Robinson first made his mark in the comedy circuit at the 1998 Montreal “Just For Laughs” Festival. Before deciding to pursue his comedy career full time, Robinson was a K-8 teacher in the Chicago Public School System. He earned his undergraduate degree from Illinois State University and his Masters of Education from St. Xavier University. It was while Craig was studying education in Chicago that he also discovered his love of acting and comedy when he joined the famed Second City Theatre. Craig is best known for his portrayal of Daryl Philban in NBC's THE OFFICE but has also starred in such movies as KNOCKED UP, THIS IS THE END, THE HOT TUB TIME MACHINE SERIES, and MORRIS FROM AMERICA the latter of which he won a Special Grand Jury prize for acting at Sundance in 2016. Craig also plays the role of Leroy in FOX's paranormal comedy series, GHOSTED. Craig currently resides in Los Angeles and continues to headline solo dates as well as with his band “The Nasty Delicious” all across the globe.
In this hour-long "Master Shot" episode, Jeffrey Overstreet talks with filmmaker Chad Hartigan about his new sci-fi love story "Little Fish," its focus on the power of memory, and what it was like to make a pandemic-focused movie just in time for a real pandemic. They also discuss themes that are emerging as Hartigan's body of work grows, with consideration of his previous films "This Is Martin Bonner" and "Morris From America."

You want movies? We’ve got your movies this week! The episode opens with a segment of “Catching up with Crean,” aka “Crewind,” where Evan shares his issues with THE HANDMAIDEN (at 6:18) before he covers the sharp Netflix documentary 13TH (at 9:24), which has a well-formed argument about the exploitation of minorities by US lawmakers and the prison industrial complex. After that Evan tackles THE DRESSMAKER (at 13:32), a zany movie that’s overstuffed with plot, yet funny and engaging, with one hell of an ending. Starting at 24:00, Kris and Dave provide very brief recaps of several films including THE LITTLE PRINCE, RED TURTLE, THE FITS, DE PALMA, ZOOTOPIA, and MORRIS FROM AMERICA. Once they get tired of recapping, they move on to this week’s two main events. Dave shares the excruciating agony that is WHY HIM? (at 32:42), or as he calls it “Why Me?”. Then finally, he and Kris review LA LA LAND (at 42:24), a musical with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, which they really disagree about.

This week Kris shares the advantages to playing board games with Canadians, before he reviews Clint Eastwood’s latest movie SULLY (at 2:38). The mediocre film has a lot in common narratively with Eastwood’s last effort AMERICAN SNIPER, especially since the same things work well (a focus on the effects of trauma) and the same things don’t (artificially created villains). After Kris explains how the movie ends awkwardly on a joke, Dave delivers a quick “Riedel’s Recap” of DON’T BREATHE (at 19:57). Following the segment, Evan describes the coming-of-age film MORRIS FROM AMERICA (at 20:58), which has great music, and features the fantastic Craig Robinson in a rare dramatic role. Finally, the guys arrive at their main event: the ‘80s horror flick SLEEPAWAY CAMP (at 30:32). They describe its weird flashbacks, its endearing incompetence, and the craziness that runs in its blood as they dig into this time capsule, which 2/3 of them agree is good for what it is. Be sure to stick around post-credits for a completely unrelated bonus story.

Single dad moves to Germany for work bringing his reluctant, rap-obsessed teen son along with him. The Sundance-friendly plot made comic drama MORRIS FROM AMERICA a hit in Park City in January, but Chicago proves only half-friendly, with Adam and Josh splitting on director Chad Hartigan's new film. And since Josh was busy editing his book over the weekend, Adam had to turn to the Call-a-Critic line to help him with reviews of Ira Sach's LITTLE MEN (Village Voice's Alan Scherstuhl) and the Obama-first-date movie SOUTHSIDE WITH YOU (rogerebert.com's Odie Henderson). Plus, a farewell to comedy legend Gene Wilder, thoughts on the new thriller DON'T BREATHE, and the final film in the Contemporary Nordic Cinema Marathon, 2015 Cannes-winner RAMS from Iceland. 0:00-3:35 - Billboard / Donations 3:35-22:13 - Review: "Morris from America" Dream Wife, "Heartbreaker" 23:15-44:47 - Notes / Polls 44:47-55:54 - Review: "Southside With You" 55:54-1:00:21 - Review: "Don't Breathe" 1:00:21-1:13:14 - Review: "Little Men" Dream Wife, "Kids" 1:14:24-1:28:28 - Nordic #7: "Rams" 1:28:28-1:40:18 - Close / Hot Mics Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Black on Black, the guys return to discuss the 2016 film, Morris from America, starring Craig Robinson, Markees Christmas, and Carla Juri. The film follows a Black father and son from America who are currently living abroad in a small town in Germany. The two find themselves each dealing with issues of cultural other-ing, isolationism, and complicated love. A story heavily focused on what it means to grow up, expanding your horizons, and being true to yourself.
Riding the wave of great buzz coming from the festival circuit, Morris From America faces its toughest challenge to date: Barry's expert film criticism. Can Chad Hartigan direct Markees Christmas and Craig Robinson into the soft spot of Barry's heart, or will Morris From America prove that film festival love is not to be trusted. Listen and find out.

In which we hyperventilate through a series of clichés to describe the exhilarating DON'T BREATHE, are boggled by the inability of A TALE OF LOVE AND DARKNESS to make us care about its rich subject matter, and fall for the fresh, fish-out-of-water charms of MORRIS FROM AMERICA.

Morris from America is a coming-of-age story about a pudgy, thirteen-year-old African-American kid named named Morris Gentry, who lives with his widower soccer-coach father Curtis in a place where there are few who look like them, Heidelberg, Germany. Under a suggestion by his German instructor, Inka, Morris makes some attempt to make friends while in his new environment, meeting an impulsive fifteen-year-old local named Katrin, with whom he's instantly attracted, but he's not quite sure if she feels the same way. The mischievously flirty Katrin tries to get him out of his shell by unplugging the headphones he perpetually wears as he walks though life and going to various parties with the local kids around his age, much to his father's chagrin, where Morris has to contend with the fish-out-of-water experience first-hand by striving to break out of his comfort zone. Perhaps only the crush on Katrin is able to compel him to try, though following the heart can also lead to heartache in this tender time of confusion for many young teens.
Craig Robinson is an actor, stand-up comedian, and singer. He is best known for his role as Darryl Philbin on The Office, and his roles in the films Pineapple Express, Zack and Miri, Hot Tub Time Machine and This Is the End. Craig's newest film is Morris From America, featured at the Seattle International Film Festival. It opens this Friday, August 26th.
Episode 26 of One Week Only! This week, our key film is the LGBT drama “Spa Night” about a Korean-American teenager dealing with his family’s financial struggles and his own closeted sexuality. Directed by Andrew Ahn, and featuring a breakout performance from Joe Seo, this is a terrific, nuanced debut film about class, race, sexuality and the immigrant story; it premiered at Sundance this past January, and won the Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Outfest Film Festival. We usually interview filmmakers on the podcast, but this week we talk to film critic Diana Drumm, who has created the Twitter account “Female Film Critics” to create a community of female journalists and critics and bring attention to the lack of female representation in the entertainment journalism circuit. Drumm has created an important & necessary female space in the online journalism world; you can find her page on Facebook, and on Twitter at @FemaleCritics. Other films we cover this week include the Guatemalan drama “Ixcanul” about a Mayan family, directed by Jayro Bustamante; father-son comedy “Morris From America” by Chad Hartigan, starring Craig Robinson; documentary “Lo And Behold: Reveries of the Connected World” by Werner Herzog, about the expanding world of the internet; and German period film “The People vs Fritz Bauer” about the hunt for Nazi war criminals after WWII, directed by Lars Kraume. Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.incompetech.com
In this extended interview, Craig Robinson from "The Office" tells a story about when he worked in an actual office. Then he shares his thoughts on his new movie, "Morris From America."

In this episode, we wonder if we have become too sensitive in Can We Take A Joke, learn about more WWII intrigue in Anthropoid, watch a gangster in Germany in Morris From America, and get real tired of Wormtail in Denial.
Looking back on this year's Maryland Film Festival, Ronald, Steve and John discuss a plethora of films, namely: Under The Shadow; Always Shine; High Rise; The Master Cleanse; The Greasy Strangler; Morris From America; Life, Animated; Do Not Resist; Lamb; The Love Witch; and Donald Cried.
