There's gift I've ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like it was so it was all wrapped up

but it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing shaped like a bike and had a little ribbon on it

and I was so guest. For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now

so for that one change me a little.

Join in every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

So funky.

Welcome to a special crossover edition of Small Doses and the ABC adventures in Black Cinema podcast. I'm your host Amanda Seals with.

I am Desmond Thorn the host of adventures in Black Cinema.

Desmond's adventures in Black Cinema podcast really just shows a lot of love and light and insight to some of your favorite black films

and some of the films that you may not know and we here at SmartFanian Black are in full support of this podcast is a part of our family

and Desmond is a part of our family because he exemplifies being smart funny and black and the truth is I don't feel like we constructively critique black films in a way that we need to to continue to like advance the craft.

I saw that Violet Davis said recently that she feels that critics are in a very short time and no purpose and I was like she must not know.

Yeah, by the way, have you seen her performance as Michelle Obama?

I have not.

I'm sending you a clip after this. It is it's something.

Well, you know, Desmond also does the you better act award where he hands out an award every week to somebody who better act honey.

Yeah, but you can check that out exclusively on our SmartFanian Black Patreon.

But today we are dedicating this episode. Desmond, please do the honors.

Absolutely. Today we will be taking an adventure in Queens and Queens with coming to America.

Yeah.

My favorite film of all time.
