Black On Black Cinema

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to discuss The Piano Lesson, a powerful literary classics adaptation from acclaimed playwright August Wilson. The film, which earned both a Pulitzer Prize and Drama Desk Award, explores deep themes of communication and family business legacy through the story of the Charles family's conflict over their cherished piano heirloom. The talented cast brings Wilson's masterful dialogue and complex characters to life in this profound examination of family heritage and the weight of ancestral possessions. The film is co-written and directed by Malcolm Washington, starring Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington, Danielle Deadwyler, Ray Fisher, and Corey Hawkins. The random topic this week is all about Drake and Kendrick Lamar's rap beef is rekindled again as Drake decides to file two lawsuits alleging that UMG and Spotify conspired to fake the streams of the hit song "Not Like Us."
