Reallyfe Street Starz PodcastShow Notes
Black Diesel — Kaamel Diezel Hasuan — pulls up to Reallyfe Street Starz and drops real talk on 100+ film credits, Tubi, and the truth about Black independent cinema that most people won't say out loud. The crew opens with Kaamel introducing himself and clearing up how people been mispronouncing his name for years (0:00) before breaking down his extensive filmography — McGraw Ave, Dirty D, Black Men Don't Cheat, He Played Me, and a whole lot more (5:30). He gets into what separates a real production from a trash one — and spoiler, it starts with confusion on set (12:00). Then Diesel speaks on being the most knowledgeable person in the room on certain sets and what it's like working alongside Detroit film legends like Krystal, Akiva, and Dwyane (18:30). The conversation shifts to how the pandemic became the perfect storm for Black independent film and how McGraw Ave blew up while the world was locked in the house (24:00). Diesel talks getting recognized as his character Boom in the streets every single day (31:00), then breaks down his upcoming self-written film Me Me — a 40-year-old virgin story where he acts with a full lisp the whole movie (36:30). The guys go deep on Tubi's rise, how the platform exposed Black talent but is now taking advantage of creators (42:00), the explosion of independent Black streaming networks like U-Haul (48:30), Country Wayne getting paid directly through Facebook (54:00), and Diesel dropping real advice for anybody thinking acting is easy (1:00:00).
