Alison Willmore

New York Magazine/Vulture

The rare offering that doesn’t just feel like it’s made by a person but by someone with an eye for visual, a distinctive voice, and a sharp sense of humor.

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

His [Juel Taylor] is a richly imagined and visually impressive world, and the laugh-out-loud screenplay he and Tony Rettenmaier wrote fires off joke after joke while paying homage to blaxploitation films of yore.

Rated: 3/4

Uproxx

The trio’s chemistry sells all of the wild, riotous action to come as they Scooby Doo gang their way through tainted fried chicken recipes, grape drink communions, and toxic hair relaxers.
