Stretch and Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives
Exploring the social impact of what The Source Magazine in 1998 voted, "The Best Hip Hop Radio Show Of All-Time." The documentary film is the story of quirky friends who became unlikely legends by engaging their listeners and breaking the biggest rap artists ever.
Mahershala Ali
Actor
Mahershala recommends this documentary in his Instagram post.
Lost Bohemia
For over a century, Carnegie Hall rented affordable studio apartments atop the famous music hall to artistic tenants such as Marlon Brando, Paddy Chayefsky and Isadora Duncan. As a privileged tenant, director Josef Birdman Astor began to videotape his neighbors whose lives intersected with decades of artistic history, but his project changed when the landlord served everyone with eviction notices for a conversion to offices. Astor chronicles the protracted battle to save the apartments and pays homage to their rich heritage.
Mahershala Ali
Actor
No one knew what he looked like. And so I got to see some tape on him, that he appeared in this documentary called Lost Bohemia and he's in there just in moments and his voice, the pitch, was quite a bit higher, it was like up here, you know? I couldn't go there but I could like drop it enough where it wasn't a distraction. And refine it. - And the physicality, you find, you're kind of like tuning in, get your tuning fork right so that it's not a distraction, to the audience so that they can actually enjoy the story
Medicine for Melancholy
Waking from a one-night stand that neither remembers, Micah and Joanne find themselves wandering the streets of San Francisco, sharing coffee and conversation and searching for a deeper connection.
Mahershala Ali
Actor
Because Ali had seen a short film, Medicine for Melancholy, by this director back in San Francisco: just a couple of people walking and talking through the city — the budget was all of $12,000. He liked it. And the script this director had sent him made him cry. That was all he needed.
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Whether we’re young or forever young at heart, the Hundred Acre Wood calls to that place in each of us that still believes in magic. Join pals Pooh, Piglet, Kanga, Roo, Owl, Rabbit, Tigger and Christopher Robin as they enjoy their days together and sing their way through adventures.
Mahershala Ali
Actor
Best Animated Film? Oh goodness. Oh boy. This is gonna sound… Winnie the Pooh.
Blue Valentine
Dean and Cindy live a quiet life in a modest neighborhood. They appear to have the world at their feet at the outset of the relationship. However, his lack of ambition and her retreat into self-absorption cause potentially irreversible cracks in their marriage.
Mahershala Ali
Actor
I was such a fan of Blue Valentine, and I heard stories about how Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams worked on that. They lived together for a period of time as rehearsal. From nine in the morning to five at night, living in a space together. The work is really awe-inspiring.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Based on the real-life adventures chronicled by Cameron Crowe, Fast Times follows a group of high school students growing up in Southern California. Stacy Hamilton and Mark Ratner are looking for a love interest, and are helped along by their older classmates, Linda Barrett and Mike Damone, respectively. At the center of the film is Jeff Spicoli, a perpetually stoned surfer who faces-off with the resolute Mr. Hand—a man convinced that everyone is on dope.
Mahershala Ali
Actor
And I've looked at Forest Whitaker. He's an extraordinary actor, but he's also a character actor. And I feel similar to him. I draw inspiration from him, because in some ways, he's kind of present against all odds. You can't necessarily say what he is. I've been watching him since Fast Times at Ridgemont High, when he was a kid. I remember when he came on-screen in Fast Times, and just his presence alone made me kind of take a step back.
Nanook of the North
This pioneering documentary film depicts the lives of the indigenous Inuit people of Canada's northern Quebec region. Although the production contains some fictional elements, it vividly shows how its resourceful subjects survive in such a harsh climate, revealing how they construct their igloo homes and find food by hunting and fishing. The film also captures the beautiful, if unforgiving, frozen landscape of the Great White North, far removed from conventional civilization.
Mahershala Ali
Actor
Best Picture: Nanook of the North [1922]. It's about the Inuits. We follow a family around, led by Nanook, whom we see trying to survive in those conditions. It feels like a movie to me, but it's one of the first documentary films. You gotta think how someone would approach telling that type of story as a documentary in a world that has only ever seen narratives told in the way in which we look at films right now.
TV Shows
Ramy (Season 1)
Ramy, the son of Egyptian immigrants, is on a spiritually conflicting journey in his New Jersey neighborhood, pulled between his Muslim community that thinks life is a constant test, his millennial friends who think life is full of endless possibilities, and a God who's always watching.
Mahershala Ali
Actor
Don’t get him wrong: he enjoyed the first season of Ramy, Ramy Youssef’s Golden Globe-winning Hulu dramedy about an aimless Muslim 20-something slouching toward a better version of himself. But when Ali’s agent offered to set up a call with Youssef, the two-time Oscar winner balked a bit.
Music
Hieroglyphics
Mahershala Ali
Actor
SFGATE: You released a rap album early in your career, do you have a favorite Bay Area rapper? Ali: Well, I love Hieroglyphics in general. They were so inspiring to so many of us. Lyrically and with their production, they were on par with anybody in New York at the time.
The Infamous
Mahershala Ali
Actor
I was wearing out "The Infamous." I was wearing that album out.
Blonde
Mahershala Ali
Actor
Frank Ocean’s new album. It’s very different from his last one. It’s a little melancholy, but it’s one of those albums that I can play all day. What I like about Frank Ocean—and a few of those kind of artists, there aren’t enough of them—is that they are really unique and make music and art on their own terms.
The Show
Mahershala Ali
Actor
My first moment where I felt like I couldn’t live without this music [laughs] was when I heard Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick’s “The Show” on the radio station in the Bay Area and I’m twelve years old. I sat by the radio station the whole weekend changing the dial from different radio stations to see if they would play “The Show.” I felt like my head was going to explode. I love hip hop.
Nicholas Britell
Mahershala Ali
Actor
I just love what Nicholas Britell did with Moonlight. Honestly, I would never pick something I'm involved in like this, but hearing pieces of that music, out of context even, or watching the film, it just brings up so much for me. I know it's a cheat, because I know some of the things that went into the sounds: In the music, they used two characters' hands slapping together as percussion in the score. No one would ever know that. They drew from classical music and slowed it down in order to define more of the angst in the sound and draw a deeper emotional reaction from the audience. It's such a nice mix of classical and hip-hop—a very specific kind of hip-hop—and then all the other sound elements and nuances that help make our story what it is.

People
Viola Davis
Mahershala Ali
Actor
Viola Davis is a perfect example of somebody who’s so much better than the parts she has the opportunity to play. She took that eight-minute part [in “Doubt”] and gave her career a second life because people were forced to look at her in a different way.

Steven Soderbergh
Mahershala Ali
Actor
Steven Soderbergh. As a kid, my dad would take me to see indie films when I would visit him in New York. Films that I just wouldn't see growing up in the Bay Area. Seeing Soderbergh's first movies, going to the theater to see them, in their time—the fact that Soderbergh is still around, doing really good work… I would be honored to have an opportunity to work with him.

I love Michelle Williams. I think she's extraordinary.

Especially as an African-American, you need to see yourself reflected in some way. And I've looked at Denzel [Washington].
