The Blackening was a shoutout to Black American culture, in its most casual as well as controversial forms. It wasn't about the horror plot and the humor relies heavily on if you been immersed in Black culture. So if you haven't been or unfortunately were socialized around nonblacks, I don't know how funny it will be. But as for me and my negro household, I thought it was amazingly funny and legitimately one of the Blackest pieces of work I have ever seen.
And now I just came back from watching The Blackening
And I’m probably going to watch They Cloned Tyrone when it premiers on Netflix.
I love the fact that we’re seeing so much Black representation across so many different genres. Shit, it wasn’t that long ago when studios wouldn’t even make Red Tails because there were too many Black people in it...
