Two of your token black friends are going on a journey of self-discovery. Troy Dangerfield and Stefan Dezil are the co-stars of Tokens, a compact comedy web series about race, friendship, and identity.
In Tokens, Dangerfield and Dezil portray a pair of nerds who have long been token black friends in their respective social circles. In the show's third episode, Troy and Stefan (who share their names with the actors who portray them) begin an odyssey outside of their comfort zone in search of a place where they can meet more people like them. It's best to start, however, with the Tokens pilot, which shares an awkward moment at a party:
Tokens has plenty to say and says it well, but the show's greatest strength is the compact nature of its episodes. In three-minute clips, director Benjamin Welmond and his team manage to set up palpable social situations, resolve them with plenty of jokes,...

For those in the La area, a special screening of Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1 will be taking place tomorrow, with a cast and crew Q&A hosted by our own Heather Wixson:
“Return To Nuke ‘Em High, Vol. 1 is Lloyd Kaufman’s latest Tromasterpiece. A hilarious, thoughtful sci-fi event film with themes ripped straight from today’s headlines: the contamination and degradation of the world’s food supply, rampant bullying and Lgbtq love triumphing over prejudice and violence. The film — a revisiting of Troma’s 1986 Class of Nuke ‘Em High — is in the same vein as other classics such as Class of 1984, Rock ‘n’ Roll High School and Carrie, but it’s seen through the unique vision of Lloyd Kaufman and the Troma Team.
Welcome to Tromaville High School, where, unfortunately, the glee club has mutated into a vicious gang of Cretins. Chrissy and Lauren, two innocent lesbian lovers,...
