In this episode, we review the Michael Jackson biopic! Real fan reaction featuring mjfangirl and Randall. We discuss whether the biopic met our expectations, Jaafar Jackson's acting and whether or not he was believable as Michael Jackson in the film, likes and dislikes of the Michael biopic and some of our hopes for part 2. From the choreography to Colman Domingo’s portrayal of Joe Jackson, we’re sharing our unfiltered reactions straight from the theater to help you decide if this is the definitive MJ story. If you are a NEW Michael Jackson fan, please subscribe to this show. I do a lot of content specifically for the Michael Jackson fan community and I would love to have you as a part of the fam here!
