Shameik Moore slid through Studio One to about his experience portraying Raekwon on the upcoming Hulu series Wu-Tang: An American Saga, which streams Sept. 4th. The Atlanta native wasn’t even alive when the legendary Staten Island hip-hop collective The Wu-Tang Clan busted on the scene with their seminal debut Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) but he talks about how he was able to immerse himself into the history and culture. The actor lets us in on how he was able to capture his iconic character and also the craziest stories he heard about Wu-Tang.

How could it not be, according the folks at the Golden Globes, it’s the very best movie of its genre this year. I swear to God I didn’t photoshop this #SpiderVerse #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/xhTAt5aZTP — Peter Ramsey (@pramsey342) January 7, 2019 Spider-Verse took home the statue for best animated feature and that is building up some serious Oscar talk, but we’ll get to that later. Director Peter Ramsey, a Black man, along with fellow directors Bob Persichetti and Rodney Rothman spoke about the theme of the film and why it’s touching people in such a profound way via THR . “Anyone can wear the mask; everyone is powerful and everyone is necessary, and that is the spirit of the movie,” said Peter Ramsey, who directed with Bob Persichetti and Rodney Rothman, backstage at the Golden Globes. “We all felt deeply that anyone can have this kind of experience and be this kind of hero. The story of Miles Morales was a way to crystallize all of those feelings into one character.” “Our favorite part was finding a voice for Miles Morales, with Shameik Moore, and creating something that could stand up to Peter Parker and be unique and different and separate,” added Persichetti.

In some cases the Golden Globe winner can inform the Oscar winner, but as The Week points out: …while the Golden Globes’ track record for predicting the Oscars is mixed at best, the two awards shows have picked the same animated feature nine out of 12 times. Those are bad odds. If you haven’t seen this flick yet, grab your son, daughter, niece, nephew, cousin, momma, daddy, grandmama, your cousin’s “special friend”, the dog, the cat, and the goldfish and take them all to the theater to see it. You’ll love it. Fun for all ages.
