    Michael - Did the Critics Get This One Right?

    29/04/2026 | 1h 52 mins.
    Welcome to Recap Kickback where we chop it up about black entertainment news and discuss all of our favorite movies and shows.

    This week on Recap Kickback, Chappell and Mari tap into the legacy of the King of Pop as they review and discuss the new biopic “Michael,” based on the life of Michael Jackson starring Jaafar Jackson, Nia Long, and Colman Domingo. From his rise as a child star to global superstardom, the duo breaks down what the film gets right, what it misses, and how it captures one of the most iconic careers in music history.

    Chappell and Mari kick things off by previewing upcoming movies, TV shows, and topics you can expect from Recap Kickback AND Mari’s online custom cup store. Get yours here: https://maricrafts2much.bigcartel.com/

    Before diving into the film, the hosts reflect on their personal connections to Michael Jackson—his music, impact, and cultural presence growing up.

    Then the Chappell and Mari get into every aspect of the movies and give their perspectives. The streets (and critics) have opinions but do Chappell and Mari agree?

    What did YOU think of “Michael”? Did it live up to the legacy? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
