Jesus Is King (Featuring Phil A)

E

On this special mini episode, Phil A and I record our first impressions of the experience that was the IMAX screening of Kanye West's Jesus Is King. Part film, part music video, part live performance... Love him or hate him, Kanye West is one of the most unique artists working today, and while the film doesn't warrant a full length episode, it was definitely worth talking about.NOTE: This is a special mini-episode and unlike our usual episodes of the podcast. It was also recorded in a moving car on a pocket recorder so it doesn't sound like our usual episodes.As always, SPOILER ALERT for Jesus Is King and the movies we discuss! https://jesusisking.imax.com/Phil A is a producer/rapper and has worked with a number of artists including his own rap groups. His newest release is the album Maryland Harkway from his group Slump Lords which comes out on June 28th.

ocketman. The rock music biopic is a genre that's been done over and over (and from the looks of it, it's going to be done over and over a lot more times), but director Dexter Fletcher and his Rocketman Taron Egerton find ways to breathe a little life into the genre.
