In this special episode of Film Geeks, we break down Michael, the highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jafar Jackson and Colman Domingo.

This is not a remake of The Jacksons: An American Dream. This film focuses on Michael’s humanity — his childhood, his isolation, his ambition, and the moments that shaped him into the most iconic performer in music history.

We discuss the performances, the emotional weight of the storytelling, the recreation of legendary moments like Thriller and Bad, and why this may already be one of the best films of the year.

If you grew up on Michael Jackson or simply want to understand the man behind the icon, this episode is for you.
