We then skip forward 5,000 years to modern-day Kahndaq, a poor yet futuristic country that, for generations, has been under siege by various mercenary groups. “ The Hair Tales is an intimate and intentional discovery and exploration of the joy and beauty and power and humanity of Black women told through the metaphor of our hair,” Ross tells Vogue . “We are using hair as an organizing principle.

Photo: Courtesy of Onyx Collective A portal into the hair journeys of six powerful barrier-breaking Black women—Issa Rae, Rep. Afflicted by the all-too-common Overstuffed Hero Movie Syndrome, “Black Adam,” directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, flies past exposition and speeds through character introductions and back stories — for those who even get back stories — leaving us with a hero epic that fails to build emotional stakes or vivify its characters enough to make us care.

“To be able to have an intentional and intimate conversation with Oprah, where I’m the one interviewing her, and to have her have the space to reveal things that I’ve never heard her say before about her own journey is so moving,” says Ross.” (Because he’s Black Adam, get it?) And if you thought the time of action movies using slow-motion as a crutch was over, “Black Adam” has bad news for you. From horror stories and moments of resilience in the face of adversity to getting to a place of joy and celebration of their natural hair, each interviewee demonstrates tremendous honesty in recounting their experiences.

Guest Marsai Martin. It doesn’t help that our antihero is as exciting as, well, a flying rock in a cape.” Courtesy The New York Historical Society Certainly, there are products that address specific needs people of color face when it comes to skin or hair, and while some are what Corey Huggins, founder and global chief executive officer of Ready to Beauty, a think tank for multicultural beauty entrepreneurs and brands, calls “multicultural-specific,” others are “multicultural-suited. Photo: Courtesy of Onyx Collective The Hair Tales also arrives at a critical time: In March, the House of Representatives voted 235-189 to pass the CROWN (Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair) Act, a bill banning race-based hair discrimination based on hair texture and protective hairstyles.

It’s now headed to the Senate for a vote. He, and the film, can capture neither the seriousness nor the humor it aspires to; Johnson attempts to cover up his signature lighthearted comedic delivery with a stony deadpan that sucks all levity from each scene he’s in.

From the conversations with Rae and Martin to Congresswoman Pressley, the series masterfully explores the personal stories of Black women of all ages and backgrounds to offer a sense of community and togetherness in a way we haven’t seen before. “Until we start talking about that and working within categories and showing how categories are applicable to everyone or to a multitude of people, I think we’re going to always get that question [as to whether Black-owned products are only for Black people],” he said. “The idea was born out of a need to make something about Black life and Black resilience,” explains Davis.

Adam’s comedic beats, on the other hand, are limited to his lugheaded responses to the other characters’ coaching on proper hero etiquette (“Catchphrase, then kill,” he repeats densely after Amon). “There are stories in our hair.” The Hair Tales premieres on October 22, exclusively on Hulu. Heroes like Superman and Aquaman are out being saviors, but they have conveniently overlooked Kahndaq, Amon says to Adam, suggesting that even the world’s finest do-gooders can be selective and unfair when it comes to fighting evil.’ So I do think there’s something there, suited versus specific.
