Description

No virtue signaling detected here. This striking new social commentary is the real deal. Entering the chat is BAFTA Winner Laya DeLeon Hayes, star of the SXSW-selected horror film "The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster." A chilling "Get Out"-like commentary on urban culture and black-on-black violence, the film depicts the modern black experience inspired by Mary Shelley’s original “Frankenstein." Laya talks about how it feels taking on the iconic Frankenstein role as a woman, her real thoughts on the "angry black person" stereotype and white folks navigating these convos behind the scenes, and her experience as a young black woman with black history and integration versus generations prior. Get your mad scientist hats on and check it out in theaters on June 9 and on demand June 23.

"Don’t tell me what I can & can’t say." Veteran journalist Taylor Ferber wrote this in her unprecedented Playboy feature, challenging the idea that brains & beauty are mutually exclusive, as one of the only people who both posed & was a featured writer. After years as Hollywood's "Celebrity Whisperer" who interviewed & humanized the biggest A-listers at every major event, her irreverent show empowers viewers to think freely outside rules around wokeism, conservatism, men, women, media, & culture, & influential figures (like Blake Shelton, Dave Portnoy, Lake Bell) to say what they really think.
