Summary

Episode Description:

Trigger warning: this episode includes a brief discussion of the sexual assault allegations and trial of Michael Jackson. Also, this is a “spoiler alert” for listeners who have not yet watched the film, Michael, as we discuss major scenes, themes, and key moments in depth. In this episode of Truth’s Table, Christina and Ekemini go back into time to talk about their own childhood connection to Michael Jackson’s music, sit with them as they unpack the storytelling choices, performances, and poignant moments in the blockbuster biopic. Pull up a chair and have a seat at the table with us!
