A difficult but necessary watch.

The statement above is just one way Ava DuVernay’s ‘When They See Us’ has been described since it was unveiled on Netflix.

In it, the visionary tells the real-life story of five African-American children (cruelly named ‘The Central Park Five‘ ) who were falsely accused of raping an affluent white women in Central Park.

Accused, without evidence or proof that the boys had even seen the violated woman.

What unravels next is a stomach-churning story of racism, corruption within law enforcement and a life-changing plot twist no one could have seen coming.

Had to turn “When They See Us” off. I got too angry. To see the true story of the way the police department failed those five kids, made me angry. To see how they played them, abused them, scared them… made me angry. They knew that these boys CLEARLY Did not know their rights.

Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature created to celebrate some of TV and Film’s brightest moments.

Today, we’re celebrating the TV series ‘Hang Time’!

The series was baked by NBC to power its Saturday morning teen-focused programming schedule, was launched on September 5th 1995 and featured ideas created by ‘Saved by the Bell’ writer Peter Engel, Mark Fink and Jeffrey J. Sachs and performances from a young Anthony Anderson.

I’ve always been weird and liked things that others think isn’t good. Like the tv show Hang Time, for instance.

For weeks, Miley Cyrus has been teasing the term ‘She Is Coming.’

Well, she is here and arrives in the form of a six-track EP.

Interestingly, the project is the first of three EPs due this year. ‘She Is Here’ will be unleashed in the Summer and ‘She Is Everything’ in the Fall. Together, they’ll make up the star’s seventh studio album ‘She Is Miley Cyrus.’

An eclectic list of guests join the singer on this edition including RuPaul and Ghostface Killa, as well as Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt on production duties.

Katy Perry has returned.

Looking to put the polarizing ‘Witness’ era behind her, the songbird has hatched new release ‘Never Really Over’ – her first solo offering in two years.

Produced by Zedd and Dreamlab, the jam sees Perry explore the effect relationships – of all varieties – have on us.

Speaking on ‘Never,’ she explained:

“All of our relationships – from first love, through failed love, to great love – all become a part of you, so that none are ever really over, and once you accept both the dark and the light, you may find that the darkness brought you to the light.”

Ever visual, Perry has wasted no time unwrapping the track’s accompanying video.

A whimsical, colorful, and trademark “Katy” clip awaits after the jump…

Cheryl is back!

Hoping to make a splash all over again, the British belle has unleashed new single ‘Let You.’

Produced by Mike Spencer, the Pop bop makes no apologies for its dance-floor agenda but also puts forth an interesting narrative lyrically.

Speaking on the track and its meaning, the singer said:

“I loved this song from the moment we wrote it in the studio. I knew I had to release it! I’ve made mistakes in relationships. I’ve been with men who were controlling, who made me unhappy, but I allowed it to happen. That’s what this song is about. You have to recognise it, and you have to try and not let it happen again.”
