Went two pages deep and didn't see anything.

If you're looking for a movie that takes a big steaming dump on wokeness and politically correct culture, you'll find Shaft 2 your cup of tea.

If you're the type of dude that clutches his pearls at the thought of toxic masculinity, Shaft 2 will not be a fun time for you.  SJW's beware.

Shaft 2 is gleefully retro, and a shockingly good time at the movies.

In this era of mega blockbusters, I like to put my money down and support smaller films that catch my eye.

'Booksmart' went out of it's way (especially in the first 10 minutes) to let the audience know how woke it was, but once it settled into the 'teen party' formula it really clicked.  I had some good laughs with it.

I understand it didn't do as well at the box office as they had thought...did the director tweeting that she didn't want Trump supporters watching her movie have anything to do with that?

I thought Chernobyl was one of the finest pieces of movie/tv making I’ve ever seen. It is funny to me the various political messages that people claimed it was making beyond the obvious (& important) ones about the USSR.

From what I understand, Putin isn't happy about how Russia was portrayed.

Aside from some obvious things it got wrong (you don't catch radiation poisoning from person to person like a cold) I thought it was a terrific series.  It nailed the bureaucracy perfectly from everything I've read about the incident.

The "re-boot" Shaft 1 with Sam Jackson....eh....didn't enjoy it that much.  It came off as a money grab.  'Re-boot' Shaft 2 was
