I heard that it is pretty blatant in it's historical revisionism vis a vis the political inclination of the black panther party, but I haven't seen it to corroborate that.

Edit: okay, after reading the directors interview with GQ and reading some other comments it seems like i might have been completely wrong lol. Very excited to watch it now

    Sounds to me like sometimes the online left just wants to hate everything. We are getting a major film where the hero is a black socialist revolutionary and the bad guy is the US government.

    I'll watch it for myself this weekend but I am pumped.

      It all filters down from Matt and Will who have a type of movie they really like, usually a gritty crime movie or a dumb action movie from the 80s. Don't think I've seen Matt say a movie was good since he started the cushvlogs
