Iconoclast. Avant-garde Black feminist scholar. Unflinching pop culture critic. The inimitable Gloria Jean Watkins – best known by her pen name ‘bell hooks’ – died one year ago.

Iconoclastic film critic Armond White has delivered an unqualified rave for "My Son Hunter," praising director Robert Davi and producer Phelim McAleer for turning "a political argument into a work of art." In his review published Wednesday in the National Review, White argued that the movie shows more ethical integrity than the entirety of the mainstream news media when it sought to bury the Hunter Biden laptop scandal ahead of the 2020 presidential election. He also praised actor Laurence Fox's "uncanny" performance, adding that the movie gives a " human scale to the inconceivable corruption we witness but that politicians and media tell us to ignore."
