COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Got Spiked Again submitted by kencza on July 18, 2021, 12:00am Fascinating historical drama with entertaining comedy, music, and costuming. At times farcical and at other times brutally honest presentation of how blacks were portrayed in the early days of the entertainment industry. Glover and Davidson are tremendous, Wayans puts on his whiteface while everyone else eventually is wearing blackface.
Jada Pinkett Smith and Michael Rapaport have strong roles here too. The special features are very good, don't skip them
