I like to think that I watch a lot of comedy , definitely invests a lot in bringing us a lot of it. I have had a feeling for a long time at least for probably close to a decade that a lot of stand up specials are not very funny anymore , don't get me wrong a lot of them are good and fun and offer you a good chuckle, but in more recent times the best stand ups have been more thought provoking than funny , even to me is more thought provoking than funny and I definitely look forward to watching any of his shows when they come out they are unmissable, I also enjoy the humanity breakdown that offers as well, However, I don't believe I have laughed out loud while watching a special since , days and Trevor Noah's African American until now, while I have seen other specials from in the past which were good like and I also liked how he differentiated his stand up with graphic and visuals, kind of what maybe inspired the show which I was also a fan of and was disappointed when it ended. This new special is the best I have seen in a very long time, the perfect mixture of thought-provoking and funny, I must say I could also be led by bias , I do consume quite a bit of his content already and a lot of the topics he covered on the special are things we talk about a lot on the but even his older specials did not give me anything close to the way I felt after watching this, is best work so far in my opinion and I don't feel like it's getting the mainstream review and coverage it deserves , I am not even seeing social media commentary or debates about it , as good as it was it's not above some criticism , one could say he tried to lean into a more edgy and shocking lane just a little bit which seems a bit out of character for him unless he is jabbing at politicians but he didn't over do it , maybe my algorithm is limited and that's why I don't see the coverage it's getting ,I myself only heard about it on

This episode of the podcast featuring is probably the funniest episode of anything I have seen this year.

Have you seen a very well made film by first time director , based on a chilling, regrettable and almost unbelievable true story. Super performances by the entire cast led by Anna Kendrick herself. But I need to highlight Daniel Zocatto who delivers a chilling yet somehow charismatic subdued performance , a star is born in my opinion. ⭐⭐⭐⭐4/5 stars.

I want to take this time to recognize 2 classic albums from what seems to be a highly underappreciated rapper/producer in recent times. These 2 albums " The Eclectic" and "Masquerade" . I don't hear a lot of commentary on these 2 albums in recent conversations related to hip hop I can admit they may not be categorised as pure rap/hip-hop albums but if you know you know he is a multi talented , multi hyphenated genius whose influence does not bend to genres, These 2 albums released in 2000 and 2002 respectively have big memorable hits "it doesn't matter" which features the memorable ad-libs from WWE and Hollywood legend "The Rock", "2 wrongs", The epic ballad with the queen of hop hop soul "Mary J. Bridge" " 911" and my personal favourites "Pussycat" , "oh what a night " " wish you were here" "Perfect gentlemen" and of course "Diallo" The song " Diallo" is such a powerful song in hindsight I feel that the importance of the song when it was released did not get the attention it deserved back then , I never once heard of the Diallo story on CNN until many years later when I saw the full story in a documentary , if you are not aware of "Diallo's" story then maybe you have been saved from another traumatic story of baseless human injustice. Salute to for these impactful works of art.

Have you noticed something interesting about these latest movies? Both “The Union” and “Twisters” have taken a bold step by skipping the traditional on-screen kiss!

In “The Union”, Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry’s sizzling chemistry is undeniable, but the director chose to hold off on the kiss to keep the audience on the edge by teasing it but it never happens. Meanwhile, “Twisters” also presents undeniable romance between the 2 leads but prioritizing their passion for storm chasing, making for a unique ending

Is this a new Hollywood Trend, what do you think?

Remember the iconic animated series from the '90s? Well, they are back! 🤩 X-Men '97 and Batman have returned, and it’s not for the kids. They made it form the grown folk, yes for you who watched as kid in the 90s.

Very enjoyable and really enjoying the heavy Nigerian influence. shout out to the other African British brothers representing. By the way I always thought was brother guess not 😀. One small gripe though why do a lot of black British shows or British shows in general have this kind of slow pace sometimes is it on purpose. Anyway great show ⭐⭐⭐

One of the most thought-provoking films ever made, if I wasn't following the Director Duvernay on Instagram I don't think the level of promotion this film got would have caught my attention.

I am surprised I haven't seen a lot of discussions and forums around the dissection of this movie from popular podcasts, movie reviewers, political commentators and Intellectuals, maybe there were but the algorithm didn't expose them to me.

Have you seen Origin or have you read the book Caste by Isabella Wilkerson.
