Big thanks to @nightlightakron for hosting the second live Unwatchables recording! We had a lively back-and-forth with the audience of a sold-out screening of HOWARD THE DUCK, the notorious 1986 flop that's since gained a cult following.

Today Unwatchables tackles the most controversial hit of the year - Antoine Fuqua’s MICHAEL. We discuss how it stacks up against other biopics, what its success tells us about our culture, and of course how it handles—or doesn’t handle—that other thing.
