Dhar Mann has launched a new series, and he’s getting ready for a move to the big screen. The entrepreneurial creator, whose moralistic videos have received 11 billion life views on YouTube, is developing new IP based around popular characters Jay and Mikey.
Jay (portrayed by Shaun Dixon) and Mikey (Kaido Lee Roberts) are a pair of middle school troublemakers who occasionally appear together in Dhar Mann videos. In their typical videos, they attempt to concoct mischievous schemes before ultimately receiving the justice they (karmically) deserve.
Despite their knack for bad behavior, Jay and Mikey have become two of the most popular characters in the Dhar Mann universe. When they had a long absence from the channel, fans signed a petition in hopes of bringing them back.
As it turned out, Jay and Mikey’s status as a Dhar Mann duo was far from over. A recent short-form upload told viewers “what happened to Mikey.

“Nobody messes with my family!” shouts Queen Latifah, aiming a revolver at baddies during a late moment in “End of the Road.” It is one of several points in this Netflix thriller where the blatancy of undiluted cliché has an effect rather more comical than intended. Taking a brisk route from the pedestrian to the preposterous, Millicent Shelton’s slick but silly film diminishes its social-commentary edge by painting an African American family’s cross-country trip in cartoonishly broad terms, imperiled by crazy and/or criminal “crackers” at every junction.
Director and cast do their best — well, maybe not their best, but their competent professional duty — with a formulaic, contrived screenplay. Still, the results do no one much credit, landing closer to overripe cheese than taut suspense, or even guilty-pleasure terrain. “End” launches on the streamer Sept. 9.

When you’re bringing together two outsized personalities like Queen Latifah and Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges for a family car trip deep into redneck territory, the least you could try to do is make it a little funny. But the Netflix feature End of the Road plays things more or less straight, eschewing comedy for a run-of-the-mill thriller that winds up being neither original nor particularly thrilling.
Directed by TV veteran Millicent Shelton (30 Rock, Black-ish, Jessica Jones and many other shows), the feature heads to familiar places despite focusing on a Black family caught in a dangerous white world of drugs, guns, bigotry and violence. There’s definitely some gas in its tank in the opening sections, which are somewhat promising, but then the story takes a predictable route that fails to deliver enough suspense or interest to go the full distance.
