theavc: Tyler Perry’s next Madea film will look at economic inequality while giving it one of those side-eyed frowny faces Tyler Perry has revealed that the next Madea movie will find Tyler Perry’s blubbery sass-banshee coming face to face with one of those awful Ponzi schemers—a face which she will then presumably slap some ever-lovin’ sense into, perhaps using a kitchen accoutrement, thus restoring a sense of dignity to those frustrated by our continued economic disparity. Tyler Perry presents Tyler Perry’s co-option of a social movement. If Madea acknowledges your struggle, does that mean your movement has arrived, or died? Tyler Perry is a guilty pleasure of mine…but not in a good way.
