She’s playful, animated, and occasionally firm as she talks to me via Zoom through a laptop angled at her chair. “Sorry, should I look up?” she asks the makeup artist.

The Hair Tales, streaming on Hulu in collaboration with Onyx and OWN, quilts together the varied relationships Black women have with their hair, celebrating the collective experiences they share.
Fittingly, it was produced by Culture House, a Black and brown woman-owned production company focused on storytelling for film and television with particular political or cultural resonance.
The six-episode docuseries, executive produced by Oprah Winfrey, Tracee Ellis Ross and Michaela Angela Davis, centers and celebrates six different Black women — Issa Rae, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Chika, Marsai Martin, Chloe Bailey and Oprah Winfrey — by exploring their unique yet similar understandings of beauty and identity through their hair. Ross also serves as host and is joined by a chorus of academics, hairdressers and cultural icons.

Audiences have embraced all of Oprah Winfrey’s signature looks from the fluffed pixie to the long under bob, and now her signature curls. But they may not have known about Winfrey’s lifelong hair journey that led to her current look or even what drove Issa Rae to appreciate and love her natural hair after going completely bald. Now both stories are being told in Hulu’s upcoming docuseries, “The Hair Tales,” which premieres on Oct. 22 on Hulu, as well as OWN.
When Onyx Collective president Tara Duncan and producer Michaela Angela Davis asked Black, Brown and woman-owned production company Culture House to take on the project, founding partners Raeshem Nijhon, Nicole Galovski and Carri Twigg said they recognized the “ripeness” of this story and jumped at the opportunity.
Nijhon and Twigg signed on to serve as executive producers on the series alongside Winfrey and Tracee Ellis Ross, who also hosts all six episodes.

In the first few minutes of Hulu and OWN’s The Hair Tales, host Tracee Ellis Ross lays out her aims. “My hope is that these conversations that we have create more space for belonging and self-actualization,” she says. “It can feel like it’s just a conversation about hair. But it’s not. Especially not for Black women.”
“It never is,” her interview subject, Oprah Winfrey, agrees. And so it goes: Over six episodes, the docuseries invites Black women to discuss all things hair-related, from their individual memories to the decades or centuries of history leading up to them, to the idea of hair as a method of self-expression or a reflection of social change. If these talks prove Ross’ point that there’s always more to hair than just hair, however, they rarely probe as deeply as they could — resulting in a series that,...

In the third edition of our tribute to anime, we focused more on retro titles, in an effort to fill the catalogue of our reviews with titles from the 80s also. This does not mean, however, that we did not include newer series, with the relaunching of Legend of the Galactic Heroes being presented in all its 3-seasons glory. Here is a list with all the titles we wrote about this August.
1. 86 (2021) by Toshimasa Ishii
The series is split in two parts, with the aforementioned mission being the dichotomy. The first part features much action, but the focus is actually on context, with Toshimasa Ishii presenting a number of sociopolitical comments through a dialogue-heavy approach. Lena’s gradual disillusionment about what is happening with the 86 is quite shattering in that regard, with the exploitation of kids that are sent in the front lines being a direct accusation on fundamentalists, to say the least.

Disney’s Onyx Collective has greenlit three new unscripted series, including a show with Swizz Beats about car culture.
“It is an exciting time to be leading Onyx Collective. When we opened our doors just over a year ago, we set out to nurture imaginative storytelling, creating disruptive, inclusive and wildly entertaining narratives that would spark conversation and forward the culture,” president Tara Duncan, who also leads Freeform, said in a statement. “That vision is materializing in ways we could have only dreamed of, and we remain grateful to have a clear lane at Disney General Entertainment, a company that has empowered our work from day one.”
While it is currently untitled, the Swizz Beats project is expected to be a series where the hip-hop legend visits car-loving destinations to examine the area’s distinctive car culture and bring together two otherwise disparate car clubs over a shared love of all things automotive.

The third season of the series aired from October 10, 2021 to January 23, 2022, and continues to focus on the B-Rank wars as the Tamakoma-2 are trying to secure one of the two top places that will allow them to follow the Border Defence Agency Away Mission. With the help of newcomer Hyuse, who proves a tremendous fighter, Osamu, Kuga and Chika have won their battles so far, earning many points, but their next challenges are even bigger, as they have to score heavily against the top B-teams.
Allow me to start with the two major negatives of the third season. The first one is that the sociopolitical comments and overall intrigue of the first season is nowhere to be found, maybe with the exception of how rumors work and how an organization can silence them, which is presented revolving around Hyuse’s presence. The second is that, although everyone is rooting for Tamakoma to win,...

The trailer for “Menudo: Forever Young,” the HBO Max docuseries about the titular Latin American boy band, has been released.
Directed by filmmakers Angel Manuel Soto and Kristofer Ríos, the four-part docuseries follows the rise of Menudo, a Puerto Rican musical group formed in 1977 by producer Edgardo Díaz that became one of the most popular boy bands in history, selling 20 million records worldwide during the 1980s. The series chronicles the group’s meteoric rise in the ’80s, and the fall it suffered during the ’90s, after sexual abuse allegations against Díaz surfaced. Over a dozen former members of the band were interviewed for the docuseries to discuss the exploitation they experienced while performing for the group.
“Menudo: Forever Young” is executive produced by Soto, Cristina Costantini and Jeff Plunkett of Muck Media, Alex Fumero of Trojan Horse, Bryn Mooser and Justin Lacob of Xtr. Rios co-executive produces with Maura Anderson.

Last Saturday’s episode of The Voice India opened with a recap of the Battle Rounds so far. Our favourite coach Hr, along with coach Mika Singh opened the show on a peppy note as they sang their hit songs (that have been picturised on Salman Khan) Photocopy (Jai Ho) and Dhinka Chika (Ready)! It was wonderful to see coaches Sunidhi and Shaan dancing away whilst coaches Hr and Mika were performing. Truly a great start to week 7 of The Voice India!
Host Karan then began to introduce the first team of the evening which was none other than Team Mika! Coach Mika chose to pair contestants Jyotica and Deepa together in this round and the song he chose for them was Duniya Main Logon Ko from Once Upon a Time in Mumbai. As always, everyone’s favourite ‘Baby Doll’ singer Kanika Kapoor was helping coach Mika to train his contestants.
