THE DUTCHMAN Official Trailer (2026) Andre Holland, Kate Mara, Thriller Movie

 

When the therapist (I presume) says Andre Holland’s character has a “double consciousness,” that—if they’re going down that road—is a reference to WEB DuBois’ suggestion that Black Americans’ have a split identity, intimately knowing that they are a person in a world they know explicitly denies that fact. Put crudely, that American Blacks psychologically live in a double world

With the Kate Mara’s character and the all Black parties, I have concerns. But I’ll check it out. Andre Holland is having an indie resurgence.

 

Cast interview from earlier this year:

 

It's late November. Any new Christmas IR romcom films released or announced for this year?

 

Not really a romcom but a IR Family Comedy.

That's all I could find within an hour search.

 

Apocalypse Love Story is available on Tubi. I watched it last night. In a nutshell, it was a beautiful depiction of an IR relationship.

 

I just stumbled onto this film that came out earlier this year called "Kindred":

https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/kindred-2025-0

 

Sounds intriguing!

 

Watching "Merry Missed Connection" right now & LOL they still casting Andrew Bushnell in these low budget streaming service/TV Christmas & Faith-based IR romcom films. I've NEVER seen him in a movie or TV show outside of these type of films.

 

Who's Andrew Bushnell? Is he the 'We're Scrooged' guy? I hope so, because if not, then Bushnell bears a striking resemblance to Cuba Gooding, Jr. LOL

The prevalence of these IR romcoms on Hallmark/Lifetime, et al, makes me wonder if they know something about their subscriber base demographic that we don't?

 

The demo is primarily women. All women. Diversity in the demo equals more eyes & money at the end of the day. So if your demo is diverse then cater to that demo with diversity. Only color that matters is the green from them dollars. Just my 2 cents however. #thatcapitalism

 

Absolutely. I was just pondering if they had data that from which they inferred that they viewership is more supportive of interracial relationships than had been thought heretofore. While the base is primarily women, I think I assumed - rightly or wrongly - that it was mostly white women. That made me think: "are adult/middle-aged white women secretly more open to IR than is commonly believed?"

 

I personally look at it from the viewpoint of rom-coms are basically fantasy for women. Traditional fantasy has "racial diversity" in the form of fantasy races such as elves, orcs, ogres, sentient dragons & other imaginary races. Same is true with sci-fi. Bigots & racists are the only individuals who get upset when real world racial diversity is inserted into any form of fantasy entertainment.

 

I was genuinely impressed by how swiftly the panties came off in public.
Big shout out to Andre Holland for going where no brother has gone before with Kate Mara on screen.

 

Trailer for a new Tubi film "Unrequited" starring Flex Alexander & Zulay Henao dropped hours ago:

LOL, Zulay Henao is 1 of those actresses that Hollywood stays casting her as the IR love interest of black male characters.

 

Just discovered this movie on Tubi
The Lawn Boy
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1152268/ (trailer here)




a lawn boy who catches the eye of an upscale career woman. Together they must endure the pressures from their friends and family; which include his home-boys, his "Cheaters" watching sister, her snooty girlfriends, and her cocktail drinking, snobbish mother an father. Will their love carry them through it all?

 

It looks like a scripted, poorly acted IR porn movie from 2003. The snobbish mother is a MILF who cheats on the husband, and the snooty girlfriends and home boys are secretly smashing as well.
