TV Review: Insecure - Season 2 Sep 16, 2017

Show notes

On this episode of Coming Distractions, Terrence, T’ara, and Erica sit down to discuss the second season of HBO’s Insecure starring #IssaRae. Partially based on Rae’s successful web series “Awkward Black Girl,” the show returns in its sophomore season with extended storylines, new characters, and hella drama. The show focuses on the Black female perspective in life, career, and dating in your late 20s. Social and racial issues of #Blackness are well explored in this contemporary setting. This season also sees a far extension of Issa’s circle of friends and their relationships as well as follow the exploits of her now ex-boyfriend, Lawrence. These new expansions help to generate hashtags such as #LawrenceIsTrash and Team Issa vs. Team Lawrence fan fractures.

American Assassin - Movie Review Sep 15, 2017

Show notes

American Assassin tells the tale of a young man, Mitch Rapp, who through no fault of his own is wrapped up in the violence of a terrorist cell while on vacation. 18 months later, Mitch is training physically and mentally to enact his revenge on those responsible. PREMISE: Mitch Rapp (O'Brien), 23, lost his parents in a tragic car accident at the age of 14, as well as his girlfriend to a terrorist attack just as they were engaged. Seeking revenge, he is enlisted by CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy (Lathan) as a black ops recruit. Kennedy then assigns Cold War veteran Stan Hurley (Keaton) to train Mitch. Together they will, later on, investigate a wave of apparently random attacks on military and civilian targets. The discovery of a pattern in the violence leads them to a joint mission with a lethal Turkish agent, Annika (Negar), to stop a mysterious operative, nicknamed "Ghost" (Kitsch), intent on starting a world war in the Middle East. Cast: Dylan O'Brien as Mitch Rapp Michael Keaton as Stan Hurley Sanaa Lathan as Deputy Director Irene Kennedy Shiva Negar as Annika Taylor Kitsch as "Ghost" David Suchet as Stansfield Navid Negahban as Behurz Scott Adkins as Victor Charlotte Vega as Katrina Harper Budget: $33 Million

It - Movie Review Sep 08, 2017

Show notes

Stephen King's classic horror story, It, comes back to life exactly 27 years after the original made for TV movie adaptation was done. This time the tale is better weaved in this version made for the silver screen. Based on the 1986 supernatural horror book, "It" takes place in 1988 where a group of friends called "The Losers" have to come face to face with a murderous clown, known only as Pennywise, that's not quite what he seems to be. Budget: $35 Million

TV Review: Marvel's "Inhumans" IMAX Premiere Sep 03, 2017

Show notes

Jay and Demetrius sit down to discuss the newly released (in IMAX) 2 episode premiere of Marvel's "Inhumans." Telling the story of a royal family of aliens who reside in a hidden city on the moon, who work to keep themselves hidden from inhabitants of Earth. The show focuses on a breakdown in that royal family that involves a coup d'etat headed up by the king's own jealous brother. The rest of the royal family is forced to escape to the planet Earth, but their troubles are only just beginning. They must figure out their new home while fighting to regain the rightful place back in Attilan on the moon. The premiere episodes lay the ground work for a season that may have some potential, but that's merely speculative at this point. The footage shown in theaters was rather underwhelming but better than early buzz indicated. Cast: Anson Mount as Black Bolt Serinda Swan as Medusa Ken Leung as Karnak Eme Ikwuakor as Gorgon Isabelle Cornish as Crystal Iwan Rheon as Maximus

TV Review: Game of Thrones - Season 7 Sep 01, 2017

Show notes

This episode of Coming Distractions focuses on the newly concluded season 7 of HBO's Game of Thrones. Jay and T'ara sit down to discuss their overall thought on the season, favorite moments, and predictions for the 8th and final season of the HBO series. This review does contain mild spoilers, so be aware before continuing. The 7th season of Game of Thrones focuses largely around the impending war between Daenerys and Cersei for the iron throne. All the while Jon Snow becomes King of the North and is working to convince both sides that there is an impending war that is far more important than a small squabble for power. Wanting all their armies to join forces to fight the ever approach White Walkers led by the mysterious Night King, is Jon's focus. He will do anything to convince these two warring women to come together. Video version of Review: https://youtu.be/sIulMyH1Aak

TV Review: "The Tick" Season 1 - Part 1 Aug 31, 2017

Show notes

This episode of Coming Distractions is focused on Amazon's newest show "The Tick," based on the popular spoof comic series, as well as, the popular 1990s cartoon that was on Fox. The Tick tells the tale of a New York based superhero by the same name who's eccentric nature runs head on with Arthur, a mild mannered accountant, who gets caught up in the superhero antics sort of by accident. The Tick and Arthur team up to take down goofball villains such as Ms. Lint and Ramses IV all the while on the hunt for The Terror. The series pokes fun at the superhero genre while also never taking itself particularly serious. If you are a fan of the original comic series, the 90s cartoon, or the superhero genre this series might be a perfect treat when your beloved genre gets a bit too self-important.
