Much of the reason for optimism comes down to Portman, a soccer naif too bold and blunt to let the game’s entrenched biases and business practices stunt her ambition. The story is as much about them trying to prove pro women’s soccer can carve out a viable niche in the entertainment-saturated LA market as it is about whether there’s even profit to be had within a league experiment on its third draft, the NWSL being the first to make it past year three. Angel City FC was born in the wake of the Time’s Up movement from a majority female ownership that includes the actor-activist Natalie Portman, the venture capitalist Kara Nortman and the Hollywood exec Julie Uhrman. “It was a delicate dance, trying to find that balance of being respectful while also getting the story right.” “It was really important for us to assure them that we appreciate the need for that protection,” says Nelson, who came to this project from a Secrets of Playboy miniseries that unmasked Hugh Hefner as a predator and sadist. The series embeds with the team over the course of the 2022 season, as the National Women’s Soccer League was reeling from an internal investigation that implicated five coaches and a general manager in a toxic workplace scandal marked by verbal abuse, racist remarks and sexual misconduct. Yet, they don't add anything to save this as a whole.In so many ways director Arlene Nelson is breaking the mold with Angel City, a three-part HBO Sports doc that goes inside the same-named LA franchise pushing for change on and off the pitch. It does get a slight kudo for Modjo appearing as backing characters, did you spot them? They were the car salesman and the mechanic. This music video displays free spirit with the young adults being carefree, which doesn't correlate to the song at all. The one guy, who some refer to as the third wheel, feels more like our main character, which doesn't make sense compared to what the song is about you would expect the other guy to be more of the main character. Overall, this music video doesn't make the concept clear and seems pretty unrelatable to the song. Then the car breaks down - was bound to happen - and the final scenes see them on top of a hill. Line-dancing is shown as well as a stage show, where a guy throws a bottle at one of the three main characters - which then leads to the shower scene. The narrative shows them purchasing a car and hitting the road to a festival where a lot of older adults are attending. Although, it's pretty clear that one of the guys and the girl is in a relationship with one another - that shower scene is definitely on the sexy side. Either way, it's that shower that makes us all question what is really going on. There are a few interpretations of this music video, some people seem to think that this is a polyamory relationship, whereas others think the one guy is just the third wheel. It does make me think that this is where the idea of the Tim Berg "Seek Bromance" music video came from. It was written by Yann Destagnol, Romain Tranchart, Bernard Edwards, and Nile Rodgers.ĭirected by François Nemeta, the music video displays three young adults having a spontaneous day, where they just go with the flow and have a good time. It hit number one in the UK, Ireland, Italy, Romania, Spain, and Switzerland. It really is this track that made them a total one-hit wonder. The band members went their separate ways in 2003, focusing on their own solo careers Romain Tranchart went down the producing and remixing path, whereas Yann Destal went on to release an album which gained moderate success in France. Their follow-ups never quite hit the mark around the world, although "Chillin'" hit number 12 in the UK. They released one album and five singles, this one being their debut and biggest hit. Modjo were a French duo consisting of Romain Tranchart and Yann Destagnol (also known as Yann Destal). Watch three young adults go out and have some fun and just live their life in this music video for Modjo's song "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)". I certainly don't remember this music video though. So, having already reviewed that music video, I thought I might as well review the music video to this classic track that certainly takes me back to my childhood as it was released back in 2000 when I was seven years old. I have been obsessed with the recently released song " Boom Boom" by RedOne, Daddy Yankee, French Montana, and Dinah Jane that is a re-work of this track.
