TUBI ORIGINAL: Pass the Mic (2022)

I feel like I’ve reached that moment when I have no idea who the kids are listening to which is fine because I’m 51 and pop music is no longer for me. Yet even I know who Lizzo, Lil Nas X and Kendrick Lamar are. I don’t like any of their music, but I can respect the fact that at least the first two have made it pretty far in pop culture despite her being plus sized and him being an out country artist who flirts with Satanic imagery. As for Lamar, it seems like more of the same. But hey — this is a movie blog not me commenting on music.

This seemingly is the perfect movie for grandparents or older aunts to watch so that they have something to talk about with their grandchildren, nieces and nephews whenever things get quiet. “I heard that Lizzo plays the flute” and “Kendrick Lamar is from Compton, just like NWA” would be good starts to the next music talk you have and then they’ll tell you they’ve moved on to something else but in the circle of life, soon they will become old and struggle to know who the next big thing is and require a documentary like this.

I thank Tubi for this public service.
