BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: A biting satire set in the world of competitive battle rap, BODIED is the story of Adam Merkin, a progressive grad student who becomes an accidental battle rapper after encountering Behn Grymm, a respected icon in the merciless sub-culture of poetic personal insults. As Adam makes his politically-incorrect climb up the ranks, he risks alienating his father, a renowned writer and tenured professor at Adam's university, along with his skeptical girlfriend Maya, and all of his academic friends. His success breeds outrage however; Adam soon faces growing backlash on campus and comes to understand the importance (and cost) of free speech.

The Queen biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody" is rocking theaters this weekend, and while the critical reception has been lukewarm, 20th Century Fox is anticipating a $30+ million debut from 4,000 theaters. For the kids we have Disney's "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms", which has received a thrashing from critics. Also out now in theaters is Tyler Perry's new dramedy "Nobody's Fool" starring Tiffany Haddish, but it hasn't been screened for critics, so it's probably not very good. Films worth checking out in limited release are Joel Edgerton's gay conversion therapy drama "Boy Erased" starring Lucas Hedges, Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe, and the rap battle comedy "Bodied" produced by Eminem".
