MaxFunDrive is almost over! Don’t wait – ensure the future of this show at MaximumFun.org/joinmaxfilm Jaafar Jackson (son of Jermaine) dances his slouch-socked feet off in Antoine Fuqua’s new Michael Jackson biopic. And we have no less a personage than Tre’vell Anderson here to help us figure out how to feel about what was left in and what was left out. Then we’ll talk about some biopics that really work for us. **What’s Good** Alonso - *Hitchcockian Thrillers* by Stephen Rebello Drea - costumed bar crawl Tre’vell - grand opening of Maroon in Las Vegas Kevin - *Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears* by Michael Schulman **ITIDIC** 1. 20% of Netflix Watch Hours are Book Adaptations…and the Bump Goes Both Ways 2.
