Feelin' Film

"Black Label" is a special series that began during Black History Month 2020 where four Critics of Color sit down to discuss their love for movies. This special series highlights perspectives in film criticism that are vital to the culture because they are for the culture.

We're sticking with the theme of impersonators cashing fraudulent checks this week as we shift our attention from Matt Damon to the fist of two films starring the great Leonardo DiCaprio. This wild and nearly unbelievable true story of Frank Abagnale Jr. and his eventual capture by the FBI is one of the most joyful crime capers you'll ever see.

This week Caless Davis is back on the show to talk about one of his favorite films. Arguably Matt Damon’s best performance is given in this twisty thriller about identity theft set in 1950s Italy and its commentary on class offers plenty for us to discuss.

In the narrowest of victories during July's Donor Pick voting on Patreon, "Mean Girls" emerged victorious over "Clueless" to get the Feelin' Film treatment.

It's the last ride in our Fast and Furious summer as we discuss the most emotional film in the franchise.

The outlier in the franchise, featuring virtually none of the series' regulars and focused entirely on a different style of racing, is often considered lesser than by fans. But should it be? We make the case for why Tokyo Drift is likely way better than you remember and a valuable story in the Fast Saga.
