REEL LIFE: 5 FILMS THAT SHAPED AN AWKWARD BLACK GUY - Brandon Collins
Comedian Brandon Collins (Drunk Black History) shares stories of his upbringing in the suburbs of Michigan as he outlines five films that helped him through life challenges and milestones.

What happens when you grow up as an only child in the suburbs of Michigan, raised by Black Republicans, and searching for your place in the world? You turn to the movies. In Reel Life: 5 Films That Shaped An Awkward Black Guy, comedian, writer, and film critic Brandon Collins takes the audience on a hilarious and heartfelt journey through the five movies that defined his upbringing. Using these films as a lens, Brandon unpacks stories of identity struggles, cultural contradictions, and the awkwardness of growing up feeling like an outsider—whether at home, in school, or in his own skin.

Through sharp storytelling, cinematic nostalgia, and plenty of laughs, Reel Life explores how the movies we love can shape who we become. Whether you’re a film buff, a fellow awkward kid, or just someone looking for a fresh and funny perspective on race, family, and self-discovery, this show is for you.
