San Diego Comic-Con is Canceled and Why Film Censorship is Annoying

On this SPECIAL EDITION of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz are joined by Actor Shamier Anderson of BRUISER. In the film, 14-year-old Darious (Jalyn Hall) turns to charismatic loner Porter (Trevente Rhodes) for help after being beaten up, in director Miles Warren’s searing feature debut about fathers, families, and the effects of fighting. Bruiser eschews simplistic binaries regarding male role models. While Malcolm (Shamier Anderson) is clearly the one who showed up for Darious and Monica, Porter may have something of value to offer. The film premiered at TIFF 2022. Shamier Anderson was born in Toronto and has two younger brothers, one, Stephan James, who is also an established actor and the other in the military. He has starred in series such as Wynonna Earp, Invasion and can be seen next on the big screen in John Wick Chapter 4. Bruiser is now streaming on Hulu in the United States and Disney+ in Canada.
