UNDERCARD: Wanda Sykes and Tamika Miller

Wanda Sykes and director Tamika Miller join Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to talk all things UNDERCARD, the emotional boxing drama in theaters now that puts motherhood, addiction, and redemption at the center of the fight.Wanda opens up about stepping into a dramatic role for the first time, why she wasn’t chasing it, and how Tamika’s crystal-clear vision and real trust convinced her to say yes. She also breaks down what it took to play Cheryl “No Mercy” Stewart as a woman who’s fearless in the ring, but fragile everywhere else.Plus, Tamika explains why Undercard was never meant to be a “sports movie,” how boxing becomes the backdrop for a deeply personal mother-son story, and why the film keeps the fight sequences tight and purposeful. We also get into building the cast, including William Stanford Davis, Bentley Green, Xavier Mills, Berto Colón, and a very different Roselyn Sánchez.Visit Nerdtropolis.comhttps://www.Facebook.com/nerdtropolishttps://Instagram.com/nerdtropolishttps://Twitter.com/nerdtropolis
