Make plans to be in front of your TV or set your Tivos... I just heard that Benson Lee's fantastic documentary Planet B-Boy, examining how the b-boy phenomenon has spread and changed lives across the globe, will be airing on MTV starting this Sunday. Here's the MTV airing schedule:

If you missed the Planet B-Boy's festival/theatrical run, here's your chance to finally check out this fascinating, crowd-pleasing film from the comfort of your living room. If the broadcast doesn't edit the hell out of it, I guarantee you'll enjoy it. You might even be inspired to bust out the cardboard yourself.
