Music Has The Right to Scratch, by Marcus Pinn
A continuous mix dedicated to Boards of Canada from the esteemed Marcus Pinn. ONLY available on Bandcamp. "Boards of Canada isn't a hip-hop group but their approach to making music always felt hip-hop adjacent to me (the sampling, the drum programming, the vocal chopping, the sequencing, etc).
10 Rare Movies That Belong in the Black Film Canon
Every few years, a major publication compiles a list of important films to represent the Black film canon. Sometimes these lists are good, sometimes they’re great, and sometimes they seem like they’ve been written by AI (The Help as the No. 1 “Best Black Film of All Time” is insane). But even when these lists are on point, they can still be, at least a little, predictable.
The Whole History of My Life
THE WHOLE HISTORY OF MY LIFE marcus pinn THE BELLY OF AN ARCHITECT (page 2) I had a feeling The Belly of an Architect would be a pretty tragic film, so I avoided it for a while. My first design job out of college might have been the closest thing to hell I've ever had to deal with, so I wanted absolutely nothing to do with design and/or architecture in any form whatsoever when I wasn't working.
The Whole History of My Life
THE WHOLE HISTORY OF MY LIFE marcus pinn After reading Chris Funderburg's series The Whole History of My Life on this website numerous times, I was inspired to write about the films that I too "really really love." I have a lot of favorite movies. Most of those movies have taught me a lot about cinema. But very few of them have actually touched me on a personal level and made me take a step back and rethink or question things about my life.

Seriously Funny
Descriptions like “groundbreaking” can be harmful to a comedy’s legacy: too much prestige can make you forget to laugh. Take Robert Townsend’s Hollywood Shuffle, which was recently added to the Criterion Collection—and rightfully so. Lots of essays have been written on the importance of the film, with almost none of them mentioning how hilarious it actually is. Two things can exist at once. Hollywood Shuffle is important and extremely funny.

The Best Independent Film You’ve (Probably) Never Heard Of
Certain movies get put into categories like classic, cult classic, or respectfully obscure. Wendell B. Harris Jr.’s Chameleon Street, winner of the Sundance Grand Jury prize in 1990, straddles all three.
Welcome to New York
“You ain’t a tough guy here. Stop that shit…” Note: This is a review of the 108 minute version of Abel Ferrara’s Welcome to New York. The 2011 case surrounding Dominique Strauss-Kahn was no doubt messed up & incredibly scummy. I don’t care if the charges were eventually thrown out. Some nasty shit went down behind close doors between Kahn & accuser Nafissatou Diallo.

Jauja - CutPrintFilm
“I’m sure we’ll find a way.” Before going in to Jauja – Lisandro Alonso’s latest multinational semi-surrealist period drama, please erase any & all comparisons to the cinema of David Lynch. Between the initial film festival reports and the IMDB message board discussions, I found that Lynch was the most commonly used reference point in a lot of early reviews of this film.
