Michael Jackson Movie Review: Black Fathers Demonized Or Deserve More Credit?

You have now witnessed the Notorious CGA! Hollywood CGA is back in the Desert Storm Bunker for a Monday night session covering one topic and one topic only — the Michael Jackson biopic. He breaks down whether Joe Jackson deserves credit or the demonization the movie handed him, why you can't have Michael, Janet, or the entire Jackson family without Joe's heavy lifting, and how the film framed a black father as a sinister buffoon while giving credit to everyone around him. CGA draws the parallel to Richard Williams, Lavar Ball, and Matthew Knowles — fathers who did the dirty work only to get cast aside once the kids arrived. He also covers Prince's ecclesiastical muse situation, Woody Allen, and why men were getting away with some absolutely wild behavior before 1990 that would get you dragged off the internet today.
