Heather: THE BEST FILMS OF
THE YEAR ARE AVAILABLE FOR HOME
VIEWING.
Tim: HERE TO REVIEW "BLACK
BOTTOM", YES THAT'S THE NAME.
AND "SOUL" ARE FILM CRITICS PAM
POWELL AND CHUCK KOPLINSKI.
HI.
GUYS.
Guest: HOW ARE 'YA?
Tim: I FELT AWKWARD.
Guest: THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU
THINK IT IS.
Heather: GOOD.
WHAT IS IT?
Guest: "MA RAINY'S BLACK
BOTTOM" WAS A SONG AND MA RAINY
WAS THE QUEEN OF JAZZ SINGSERS.
THE FILM IS BASED ON FACT AND A
PLAY THAT WON THE TONY FOR BEST
PLAY.
LET ME TELL YOU IT GRABS YOU
FROM THE FIRST SECOND AND
DOESN'T LET YOU GO 94 MINUTES
LATER.
YOU SEE VIOLA DAVIS AS MA RAINY.
HER PREFERENCE LOOMS LARGE IN
1927, CHICAGO.
WE SEE CHADWICK BOSEMAN.
THEY'RE GETTING TOGETHER IN A
RECORDING STUDIO IN CHICAGO AND
CUT ALBUMS FOR A CHANGE TO
THIS.
THIS WHOLE THINGS TAKES PLACE
WITHIN A RECORDING STUDIO OVER
THE COURSE OF ONE DAY.
THAT SOUNDS PRETTY BORING.
ANYTHING BUT.
THE DIRECTOR HERE DOES A GREAT
JOB MOVING THE CAMERA AROUND,
OVER, THROUGH THE SPACE IN SUCH
A WAY IT INVIGORATED THIS WHOLE
THE EDITING.
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE CAST
IS ELECTRIC.
THERE'S SUCH ENERGY THAT IT'S
CAPTIVATING.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, THIS IS A
MOVIE THAT UNFORTUNATELY IS
STILL TIMELY, BECAUSE IT TALKS
ABOUT RACISM, PREJUDICE AND HOW
THESE ACTIONS ARE STILL GOING
ON.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOW THIS
WHOLE THING AFFECTS THE BLACK
COMMUNITY FROM WITHIN.
THERE WAS A MOMENT IN THIS MOVIE
THAT MADE WE GASP OUT LOUD.
THIS ONE REALLY SHOOK ME UP.
THIS IS HIGH ON MY TOP TEN LIST
THIS YEAR.
REALLY ENJOYED IT.
Tim: IT'S ALWAYS POWERFUL TO
SEE A MOVIE THAT HAS SOMEBODY IN
THIS POSTMORTEM.
Guest: INCREDIBLE
PERFORMANCE BY BOSEMAN.
Heather: WE GO TO "SOUL".
IS A MOVIE THAT WILL NEVER
DISCOUNT BECAUSE IT'S PIXAR
DIRECTED PETE DOCTOR.
THIS IS A MAN WHO IS A MIDDLE
SCHOOLTEACHER WITH THE VOICE OF
JAMIE FOXX.
HE'S NOT BEING ABLE TO FULFILL
HIS DREAMS.
HE GETS A CHANCE TO DO SO.
AND WHOOPSY, HE TAKES ONE WRONG
STEP IN A MANHOLE AND SEES
HIMSELF IN A WAYSTATION BETWEEN
LIFE AND DEATH.
HE WANTS TO EMBRACE LIFE AND GET
BACK TO EARTH BUT NOT WITHOUT
TAKING A PRE-HUMAN WITH HIM, 22.
THE TWO OF THEM EXPLORE WHAT IT
MEANS TO BE HUMAN AND WHAT IT
MEANS TO HAVE A SOUL.
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL FILM!
IT IS A VERY HIGH-LEVEL
CONCEPTUAL FILM THAT MAY GO OVER
KIDS' HEADS, BUT PARENTS,
ADULTS, YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE
IT.
Heather: THESE START
TOMORROW?
Guest: "MA RAINY" TOMORROW,
CHRISTMAS DAY.
IT'S WORTH IT.
Tim: WHEN YOU CONSIDER $6 OR
WHATEVER IT IS FOR THE MONTH.
