FilmGordon Radio | Juneteenth ’25

Colorful Juneteenth text with a clenched fist symbol on orange background.

by Tim Gordon

This week, we reflect on the legacy of Juneteenth—not just a day, but an ongoing movement inspiring powerful storytelling across screens all year round.

We’ll break down this year’s Black Reel Television Awards nominations, spotlighting the bold new shows redefining excellence.

Then we’ll take a hard look at Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and whether its massive budget makes it a box office win or warning.

And we close the show with reviews of Ironheart, F1, and Godfather of Harlem.
