This week’s turned out to be a busy one for musicians making their acting debut and us getting a taste of it via trailers. First we got a glimpse of Abra in the trailer for Assassination Nation and now we’ve got Junglepussy also taking a turn on the silver screen.
The Brooklyn rappers stars alongside Regina Hall in the workplace comedy set in a Hooters-style Texas sports bar called “Double Whammies”. Support the Girls follows Regina as the maternal manager of the bar who’s fiercely protective of her female staff but also struggling to keep them in line.
The film premiered at SXSW this year and has so far received mostly positive reviews while doing the film festival circuit. Reviewers were especially positive when mentioning the film’s cast with some referring to Junglepussy’s role as a breakout.
You can catch Support the Girls after its August release.
