“I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared. Even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.” ― Audre Lorde
Welcome to the last “entertainment review” of 2020!! We will be changin’ some things up in 2021 for Season 2, so please stay tuned! I know we are all excited for Kwanzaa/Hanukkah/X-Mas but I think more than that, we are ready for this year to be OVER!!
Today we are covering the amazing musical feature film, DREAMGIRLS!! This movie came out December 25, 2006 so we wanted to celebrate the anniversary with a dedicated episode. The film follows the lives of Effie (Jennifer Hudson), Deena (Beyoncé) and Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose) who form a music trio called the Dreamettes. When a shady af manager Curtis (Jamie Foxx) spots the trio at a talent sho, he offers the girls a chance to be backup singers for a famous musician named Jimmy (Eddie Murphy). Sh*t hits the fan once Curtis starts getting money hungry and begins making some questionable decisions throughout the movie.
J and Lesly discuss our opinions on musicals in general, let you know our thots on the casting/acting, basic intro to the movie, how white stay stealin’ and some of our favorite songs from the musical! Also we give praise to the black artists who are always overlooked from the industry because white people keep flooding the radio with their basic ass beats.
We genuinely enjoyed this musical and we hope you take the time to watch it! If you wanna see amazing talent, great storyline and awesome music, please go rent/buy this movie NOW! HAPPY HOLIDAZE❤️
