After shattering box office glass ceilings with a $200 million global debut, Keith breaks down the latest, and most successful, entry in the DC Extended Universe with two Wonder Women in their own right: N’Jaila Rhee (@BlasianBytch) — who also wrote the official NOC review — and Britney Monae (@HiBritneyMonae). Together they rank Wonder Woman against other comic book superhero movies and why the “No Man’s Land” scene is the best, discuss the problems with the last act of the movie, break down the argument that Gal Gadot is a person of color and/or a Zionist, and determine which Chris is the Ultimate Champion White Actor Dude Named Chris.

For nearly 20 years, the American Black Film Festival (ABFF) has celebrated black excellence in film and television.  Launched in 1997 by Jeff Friday, the festival was created to promote diversity in Hollywood and showcase the talent of black filmmakers, producers, actors, and rising stars. Today, the festival is recognized as the largest gathering of black film and TV enthusiasts in the nation. This year marks the 21^st  anniversary of ABFF, which will be held in Miami, June 14-18, 2017.

What’s On The Agenda?

A host of panel discussions, film screenings, networking opportunities, and parties.

Kicking off the festival will be the worldwide premiere of Girls Trip, a comedy directed by Malcolm D. Lee, which stars Regina Hall, Tiffany Haddish, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Queen Latifah.

The closing night film at the festival will be the highly anticipated Tupac biopic, All Eyez on Me. The picture documents the iconic rapper’s rise to stardom, starting with his early days in New York City, to his untimely death at the age of 25.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear directly from media mogul Mona Scott-Young, the television producer and entrepreneur best known for the VH1 reality TV franchise Love & Hip Hop. During “The Business of Entertainment” panel, she will open up about her path to professional success.

Another highlight of the five-day event is HBO’s annual Short Film Competition, presented by HBO, the founding and presenting sponsor of ABFF. During the ABFF Filmmaker Awards presentation, a panel of HBO executives will select and award a promising independent filmmaker with a grand prize of $10,000. The runner-ups will each take home $5,000. Finalists will also have the opportunity to get their entries licensed by HBO for exhibition on the HBO cable service, HBO Go, and HBO Now.

ABFF will also host a series of master classes. Led by prominent filmmakers and industry professionals, these workshops focus on the varying disciplines that make up the film and television industry, including writing, directing, producing, and acting for film and television, as well as cinematography.

Additionally, the festival will offer a virtual reality (VR) experience, which will include a special screening of dynamic VR content, with post-screening Q&A discussions with filmmakers and VR experts.

So, you know, like with any Steven Universe song, there’s possible minor spoilers embedded in the lyrics. Careful. But! If you don’t try to listen too closely, you’ll be treated here to a really delightful performance of “What’s the Use of Feeling (Blue)” from none other than Rebecca Sugar.

• Entertainment Weekly shared some new photos of DisneyXD’s DuckTales reboot, and we are super stoked for this. (via Collider)
• Stranger Things came in our infatuation with all things 80s (wait, has that ever ended), and they’re capitalizing on that with a soundtrack that will be released on cassette tape that’s modeled to look like a VHS tape. There are layers of #brand happening here, people. Layers. (via The Daily Dot)

So, uh … remember Bubsy? Yeah. Bubsy’s uh … back? I guess? (This E3 is going to be wild.)

• Lena Waithe wrote the “Thanksgiving” episode of Master of None, and immediately captured our hearts for its brutal yet tender honesty in showing what it’s like to come out to one’s parent and how that affects tradition and the things you do with them. Here, Vulture spoke with her and series creator Aziz Ansari about what it was like to make the episode.
• Samantha Bee’s got a pretty wicked sense of humor. Recently, she sent out Full Frontal screeners to Emmy judges that were “disguised” as fake Russian tapes. Damn. Consider that. (via The Hollywood Reporter)

One of the most iconic sounds from the Star Wars Universe is the one emitting from the Empire’s Tie Fighter. It lacks shields, proton torpedoes, or even a hyperdrive, but these little starfighters maintain the Emperor’s order throughout the galaxy. Darth Vader would be proud. Available in toddler and youth sizes.
