Filtering by Tag: Aisha Harris
Glen, Aisha, and I were all fairly unmoved by Ridley Scott’s latest, The Dog Stars, which I wrote about last week. But it disappointed each of us in a slightly different way. Hear the Pop Culture Happy Hour episode below.
When you stare into The Abyss, etc., etc. (Paramount)
When you watch 2018’s Mission: Impossible — Fallout, you can see the shot wherein Tom Cruise breaks his ankle leaping across London rooftops.
When you listen to our new Pop Culture Happy Hour on Mission: Impossible — The Final Recknoning, you can hear the moment when I suffer an aneurysm. It’s when my friends Aisha Harris and Linda Holmes once again compare these films to the Fast & Furious movies. And they are like those, in the sense that the 1969 Rolling Stones and circa 2012 Aerosmith are both rock bands.
Wagner Moura and Brian Tyree-Henry in the Apple TV+ adaptation of Dennis Tafoya’s novel’s Dope Thief.
I was glad to join Aisha Harris and Cristina Escobar to talk about the new Apple TV+ adaptation of Dennis Tafoya’s crime novel Dope Thief.
Adam Driver and Nathalie Emmanuel, above the fray. (Lionsgate)
Aisha, Glen, Bedatri and I recorded this dissection of Megalopolis a mere 12 hours after the screening ended, which we all acknowledged is not time enough to process an overstuffed epic that Coppola has been working on in some capacity for more than half his life. Fun conversation, though.
Look at what you can learn to do from watching Road House. (Laura Radford)
This week, I interviewed Pulitzer Prize winner and MacArthur “Genius” grantee playwright Suzan-Lori Parks and chopped up the new Doug Liman-directed, Gyllenhaal-headlined Road House with pals Linda Holmes and Aisha Harris. Like itinerant philosophy grad Dalton from Road House ‘89 , I contain multitudes. Or at least severalitudes.
Melvin Van Peebles’ son can shoot in two directions at once.
For the day job, I wrote about Black westerns on the occasion of Mario Van Peebles’ new one, Outlaw Posse. No relation to his prior western, 1993’s Posse, except for the familial kind.
Director/star Michael B. Jordan confers with Jonathan Majors on the set of Creed III. (Eli Ade/MGM)
I was glad to join Aisha Harris and Shamira Ibrahim — and to reunite with Gene Demby from the Creed II episode of PCHH back in 2018 — for this hard-hitting dissection of the disappointing-to-me Creed III.
My review of the film is here, and the Smithsonian piece I plugged in the Happy segment is here.
Ryan Gosling did a lot of hahaha training for the not-so-colorful thrillerThe Gray Man. (Paul Abell/Netflix)
Look, I cohost a podcast about The Prisoner. When a new international espionage-themed thriller appears with a lead character named Six, I have to pay attention. The Netflick The Gray Man is one of two new releases this month containing what I believe to be a deliberate Prisoner reference. The other one is Marcel, the Shell with Shoes On.
I loved Captain America: Civil War and The Nice Guys and Blade Runner 2049 and Knives Out. I appreciated No Time to Die. I wanted to love, or at least appreciate, The Gray Man. I tried to.
