MGM+ has greenlit “Hollywood Black,” a new docuseries directed by Justin Simien.
Based on the book by historian Donald Bogle, this four-part docuseries tells the epic story of the actors, writers, directors and producers who fought for their place on the page, behind the camera, on the screen and in the credits. It is a definitive chronicle of a century of the Black experience in Hollywood, and a powerful reexamination of a quintessentially American story — in brilliant color.
“Hollywood, like many American industries, was built on Black culture and Black talent, even though it excluded Black people from many of its origin stories,” Simien said in a statement. “This series seeks to illuminate present-day controversies, from #OscarSoWhite to the almost regular ‘blackface reveal’ of prominent white celebrities, told through the lens of Black individuals throughout Hollywood history. It’s the most important story I’ve been able to tell to date,...

Gamers had a big win the other day when the NASCAR driver Ross Chastain managed to get a qualifying position in a big tournament in Phoenix with an absolutely insane move he later said he learned on a NASCAR game on the Nintendo GameCube.
Former wrestler and sports analyst Pat McAfee shared the truly crazy clip last week, which quickly spread to all corners of the internet.
