About this listen
Dom sits down with Frosty — the biggest Michael Jackson fan he knows — for a deep discussion about Michael.
Coming at the movie from completely different perspectives, they debate:
whether the film actually works
Jaafar Jackson’s performance
comparisons to Bohemian Rhapsody
the strange ending
Rotten Tomatoes critics vs audiences
why hardcore MJ fans may actually be harsher on the film
whether the movie “whitewashes” Michael
and how a sequel should handle the allegations.
As a more casual MJ fan, Dom came away far more positive on the movie than Frosty expected — but the conversation becomes increasingly nuanced as they unpack the impossible challenge of adapting Michael Jackson’s life into a mainstream biopic.
This episode also explores:
Motown 25
Billie Jean
the Bad Tour
Joe Jackson
the Pepsi hair incident
Michael’s public image
and the difference between imitation vs performance in music biopics.
