Netflix’s “Self Made”: What's Fact and What's Fiction?
Netflix takes some liberties in its portrayal of Madame CJ Walker, a trailblazing Black entrepreneur.

A Documentary of Musical Mayhem from Executive Producers Roger Gastman, Joseph Pattisall & Zack de la Rocha Born from stolen equipment and street life connections, the band Dead City Punx — Meka, Grumpy, Mike, and Adrian — built stages for their shows from shoplifted wood, used social media as their "bat signal," and turned every performance into a crime scene complete with graffiti backdrops, bonfires, and police helicopters. Through fan-filmed concert footage and exclusive interviews, 'DEAD CITY PUNX'captures how four outcasts from society's margins ignited a pandemic-era music movement that challenged definitions of public space, rebellion, and the right to assemble. BEYOND THE STREETS presents the story of Dead City — raw, unfiltered, and as real as their shows.

I must give Peele credit in that he continues to push the boundaries of specific genres and their associated tropes in order to provide what ends up amounting to subtly then jarringly intense, yet still character and story-driven, cinema that speaks more to indie stylings than mainstream.

The film is a powerful narrative encompassing a theme that many people can identify with.
Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.
