The first film they're be reviewing is THE PROMISED LAND, a Nordic Western set in 18th century Denmark.Director Nikolaj Arcel collaborates once again with Mads Mikkelsen who plays Captain Ludvig Kahlen, an impoverished retired army captain with a dream of cultivating the uninhabitable Jutland moorlands.

Next up, Flick, Vysh and Thomas then discuss a Netflix documentary released this month (June 2024), about the history of Black Barbie dolls. The film highlights how children play and relate to their dolls, and examines how race and racism can be navigated through doll play.
BLACK BARBIE, directed by Lagueria Davis.
