“Burn Hollywood Burn” was released as a single for PE’s third album, Fear of a Black Planet.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
