  Tyler Perry has truly outdone himself. This is not a good thing.

  Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told 2024

  ★½ Watched 21 Mar 2024

  Hmmmm. This starts off with a talking head (not Killer Mike) calling Atlanta “Wakanda” so you already know what time it’s on. Of course, not enough is dedicated to the class dynamics that led to the eventual dissolution of Freaknik. The political and corporate interests surrounding the 1996 Olympics which led to the displacement of more than 20,000 people are glossed over. And in the end, Atlanta is celebrated for being the Black “Mecca” it is not.
