This B-grade ‘Fifty Shades’ parody titillates streaming audiences
The impact that E.L. James’ erotic
Fifty Shades of Grey
book series has had not only on literature,
but also cinema, is still being felt, and Marlon Wayans’ critically panned,
and on-the-nose parody
Fifty Shades of Black
is treating streamers like submissives as it tops the streaming charts.
All but forgotten by audiences, and sitting on just a 4% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes,
you’d be forgiven for thinking that surely nobody would be going out of their way to watch it,
but Hulu’s streaming stats tell a very different story.
Sitting comfortably at #10 on the charts, the Fifty Shades parody is showing no signs of climaxing just yet in search for viewers.
Officially, the movie follows a very similar idea as the original
Fifty Shades of Grey
books and films,
outright borrowing shots but adding mostly bad comedic elements.
