What The Michael Jackson movie gets Wrong about Michael Jackson | 05.12
On this edition of Time Machine Tuesday, Bomani Jones is joined by DJ Wally Sparks to break down the Michael Jackson movie and why it doesn’t fully capture how massive Mike really was. They get into why Michael Jackson resonated with young audiences better than almost any superstar ever, how his fame translated across the world, and what made the Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad era so hard to put on screen.
They also talk about Joe Jackson, the movie’s framing of Mike as too passive, and why the ending should’ve hit harder.
