Rotten Tomatoes: It's all about celebrating Black history and culture with must-see content
Want to properly celebrate Black history and culture with some must-see entertainment? Look no further than what’s brewing over at Rotten Tomatoes these next few weeks.
From curated playlists to highlighting some amazing collections, it’s all about Black excellence during Black History Month. Tap in to the details provided through the amazing Rotten Tomatoes team.
Rotten Tomatoes is celebrating Black history and culture all throughout February, beginning with an updated Black History Month Hub. This hub serves as a go-to source for content that honors the acclaimed work and performances of the best Black actors, filmmakers, and creatives in entertainment.
Rotten Tomatoes’ celebration of Black History Month doesn’t stop at just film and television. There’s no denying that Black artists and musicians have shaped our society, giving us some of the most influential and inspiring music of all time. Rotten Tomatoes features 10 Films About Black Music That Turn Household Names Into Household Stories in a new piece written by Chris Tait, highlighting titles such as the SAG Award-nominated The Color Purple, the Michael Jackson documentary Thriller 40, and the upcoming biopic Bob Marley: One Love. Chris Tait was a recipient of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) Media Inclusion Initiative, which aims to provide financial support to accredited press from underrepresented groups. Rotten Tomatoes continues to renew their donation and support to the initiative, contributing $100,000 to the program since its launch in 2018.
The hub has also debuted a new TV & streaming calendar for Black History Month, so you’ll never find yourself aimlessly scrolling for what to watch, as Rotten Tomatoes has curated watchlists only a click away. You can also access updated lists such as 65 Movies That Celebrate Black Joy (with popular titles like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, American Fiction, and The Little Mermaid). Additionally this month, Rotten Tomatoes will take a closer look at influential and culturally important Black television shows through a brand new archival piece.
Vudu, Fandango’s video-on-demand streaming service, also joins in on the celebration with their Discover Black Heritage Collection, which includes a library of the Best Black Movies of the 21st Century, a companion to RT’s guide of The 146 Best Black Movies Of The 21st Century.
