The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 51: The 30th Anniversary of Coming To America

In the spirit of #FlashbackFriday, we take it all the way back to 1988 where we celebrate and pay tribute, to one of the most successful movies in pop-black culture. Thirty years ago today, Paramount Pictures, Eddie Murphy, and Director John Landis released Coming To America, a movie about an African prince from the country of Zamunda (fictional, obviously) who travels to Queens, NY in an attempt to find his Queen. We discuss Eddie Murphy’s genius, his career arc that dominated the 80s, the star-studded cast that was in the movie, the pop-black cultural similarities between ’88 & ’18, our favorite scenes and moments, plus a whole lot more. Oh! What a feeling…..

The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 48: ‘Ye…This Is America

Today on The Ave Podcast, I’m joined by Shawn Adonis (past contributor to South Shore Ave) as we discuss the latest events regarding Kanye West. We break down his love for Donald Trump, his recent behaviour, the song “Ye vs The People”, and his outlandish TMZ interview. Somehow, some way, we circle back and tie it in to Childish Gambino’s epic “This Is America” video, showing how it all contrasts and relates to one another. What a week for the culture. Please enjoy…..

Today on The Ave Podcast, we celebrate the movie Black Panther. I invite Andrew Mambo from ESPN’s 30 for 30 Podcast, as well as DJ Keo to take a deep dive into the blockbuster smash. We share our thoughts on the pre-hype lead up to the movie & how it affected the culture, the portrayal of women, what this movie does for black movies going forward, the influence of Black Panther on a younger generation overall, our Erik Killmonger POV, decomposing the stereotypes of Africa, plus a whole lot more. Like a ton.
