Welcome back to The Stream, episode 38, the Kwame Brown on the Pistons episode, and the 12th physically distanced episode.

In our main review, we are talking about Boomerang, available on Netflix and HBOMAX. We also go over, What did Gian think was Homophobic? and What did Nadir think was Racist? and possibly start a new award?

Boomerang is a 1992 romantic comedy film directed by Reginald Hudlin. The film stars Eddie Murphy as Marcus Graham, a hotshot advertising executive who also happens to be an insatiable womanizer and male chauvinist. When he meets his new boss, Jacqueline Broyer (Robin Givens), Marcus discovers that she is essentially a female version of himself, and realizes he is receiving the same treatment that he delivers to others. The film also features Halle Berry, David Alan Grier, Martin Lawrence, Grace Jones, and Chris Rock.
