CHIRP Radio writesChicago Sounds: Serengeti

Vinto Van GoAt a time when Rap Music seems to be focused on just about everything except the music, one Chicago artist is very much keeping it real. Serengeti has been producing amazing work for years now, and he’s back with his 21st Studio LP, using his unique blend of rap and spoken word to find the universal in everyday aspects of life in The Windy City. With his vocal (and 16-inch softball) skills, it’s always a treat to visit his neighborhood.

KSanders writesThe 2024 Chicago Critics Film Festival, Part 2: A Sundry Second Half of Seniors, Singers, and Scorsese (Oh my!)

by Kyle Sanders

And the 11th Annual Chicago Critics Film Fest continues! Here are the films I was able to catch during the latter half:

Technically, Thelma screened last Saturday afternoon, but due to scheduling conflicts I managed to check out a screener from the convenience of my home. I'm glad I did, because this film about a 93-year-old telephone scam victim who sets out to reclaim the money taken from her was worth it!

June Squibb, the Oscar-nominated character actress who's taken over Betty White's reign of feisty senior citizen roles, leads this quirky comedy with aplomb. An elderly widow unwilling to bend to the concerns of her domineering family, Squibb takes a page out of Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible franchise (including doing her own stunt work!) and provides plenty of action-packed moments, "geriatric style": racing down nursing home hallways in a slicked-out scooter, bravely climbing the perilous steps of a two-story home, and navigating the treacherous paths of antique stores, just to get back what's hers.

With a heist-themed score reminiscent of anything composed by Isaac Hayes (coincidentally, this film co-stars Richard Roundtree--the original Shaft--in his final performance), Thelma reminds us that our tenacity for thrill-seeking never gets old. (Release Date: June 21st)
