Leave This Film Behind (aka Whyyy Obama??)

We knew the new film “Leave the World Behind” was indeed headed left when Living Single’s great Black television excellence was obscured in favor of a dry show called “FrIEndS,” but we still thought Mahershala Ali’s presence might provide us some comfort. But naw. Obama, what kind of Negroes are these? 👀 The main thing COVID and Chemo learned from this motion picture was that apparently sometimes all the redemption a K@ren needs is a little “Too Close” by NEXT and one Blackstreet B-side. Myha'la, you did yo bess, sistren, but there was only so much could be done between wild red herrings and dystopian racial reconciliation fantasies. Also, somebody please let us know whatever became of Luz Sin Nombre, aka the only character whose story Chemo really cared about.
