Youtube video essayist, FD Signifier, has finally dropped his epic, 4 hour feature on Tyler Perry, “I’m Afraid of Tyler Perry“.
He tells viewers up front, he’s split the video into chapters, as he knows not everyone will watch in one sitting (much like his other long winded videos covering Kendrick/Drake, Kirk, Beyonce, and Diddy).
00:00 – I Built a Table
02:19 – Why Tyler Perry is Different
18:00 – Part 1 – The Problem of “Black” Media
37:26 – Part 2 – Tyler Perry’s origin story
01:03:04 – Part 3 – Tyler Perry’s “movies”
02:49:42 – Part 4 – Tyler Perry Built a Table too…
If you’re unfamiliar with FD, I’d recommend looking at his main channel to see if a topic spikes your interest. He also has 2 other channels (“FD B Sides” for shorter, off the cuff topical videos, and “FD Streams”, which are condensed versions of his Twitch streams.
