Phrankly Speaking Frankly Speaking

***TRIGGER WARNING*** Phrankly Speaking is back at it with returning special guest Beccz to dive into the dark murky waters of some truly despicable deplorable behavior. We discuss the conversation surrounding the abuse and assault allegations of both Sean Puffy Combs and the Nickelodeon scandal involving Dan Schneider, Brian Peck and scores of child actors who suffered at their hands - as covered by the Max documentary: Quiet on Set. This is a very sensitive and at times disturbing conversation about a very delicate topic. Be warned. ***TRIGGER WARNING***

OH SNAP!!! Beccz is back to hop in the Time Machine and head back to the 90s to celebrate women’s history with a fun look at the decade’s dynamic women across pop culture from movies to music to television. It’s all that and a bag of chips!!!

Back at it, this time joined by Becca Beccz for another Phrankly Speaking Reel Talk, breaking down the upcoming slate of movie franchises that will be returning to the big screen in 2023 from the heavy hitters and the grand finales to the horror movie industrial complex and the WTF! Did we really need another one of THOSE??? Looks like a lot of reheated spaghetti getting thrown at the wall in 2023. Will it stick? We’ll see. Until then we’ll break down the lineup and let you decide what’s hot and what’s not AT THE MOVIES this year, on the franchise tip!

Black History. Valentine’s Day. Black Love Rom Coms and Drams. 90s. 2000s. Reel Talk. Solo Dolo. LETS GO!

Frankly Speaking back at it after a hiatus to play catch up on the sim shenanigans of the 2023 (Duece Triple Simmy) with some real talk from the continued tragedies of mass shootings and police brutality/fatality to Tik Tok and Black Twitter. Then it’s back to the reel talk with a catch up on all the movies I’ve seen from the Oscar hopefuls at Independent Picture House, to the big budget blockbuster hits and misses, and a splash of blink and you missed it flicks scattered around - especially during the dumptuary movie days of the early part of the year. A real smortgasboard of takes and topics including the new wine and cheese filmmelier steez! Frankly Speaking style of course.

After taking a moment to give thanks for all the blessings of 2023, it’s time to give flowers to some of the recent magnificent black artists and works of art including: Jordan Peele and the screening of his Get Out with the Charlotte Symphony as well as his latest film Nope - available on streaming; the long awaited follow up to Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther movie - Wakanda Forever as it mourns the loss of its leading man, hear and soul Chadwick Boseman; and finally the recently completed 4 season series of the surreal heartfelt and hilarious Atlanta on FX - written, directed and starring Donald Glover and one of the most insanely talented casts and crews assembled on the medium formally known as television. Kudos to the excellence and power to the culture! I’m thankful!
