planet b-boy on mtv



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:

Sunday January 11:
- 11 am PST/EST (10 am CST)
- Midnight PST/EST (11 pm CST)

Wednesday January 14:
- 1:30 am PST/EST (12:30 am CST)
- 8 am PST/EST (7 am CST)

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.

To learn more about the film, and to keep your eye on future broadcast dates, go to the Planet B-Boy website here. Watch the trailer here. Read my interview with director Benson Lee here. And if you like the movie so much that you just have to own it, buy the DVD here.
