EXTENDED REVIEW: Michael
from Dom's Film Club Hosted by DFC
Dom sits down with Frosty — the biggest Michael Jackson fan he knows — for a deep discussion about Michael. Coming at the movie from completely different perspectives, they debate: whether the film actually works Jaafar Jackson’s performance comparisons to Bohemian Rhapsody the strange ending Rotten Tomatoes critics vs audiences why hardcore MJ fans may actually be harsher on the film whether the movie “whitewashes” Michael and how a sequel should handle the allegations. As a more casual MJ fan, Dom came away far more positive on the movie than Frosty expected — but the conversation becomes increasingly nuanced as they unpack the impossible challenge of adapting Michael Jackson’s life into a mainstream biopic. This episode also explores: Motown 25 Billie Jean the Bad Tour Joe Jackson the Pepsi hair incident Michael’s public image and the difference between imitation vs performance in music biopics.
