Fighting Words: Fantastic Frankey Unleashed
Joseph Watkins -Da Watcha
Nestled within a backdrop of pop culture t-shirts, action figures, and an iconic Wonder Woman blouse with the WWE signature belt, rest two stools where greatness is discussed, stereotypes are abolished, and eye-openers happen.
Welcome to the stage of Fighting Words featuring Fantastic Frankey.
Entering Frankey’s domain, I was blown away by the very first episode featuring Khleo Thomas. The atmosphere was set as Frankey, a master of wit and pop culture wisdom, took her place alongside one of the most respected people in the industry. They dove into the depths of pop culture, challenged conventions, and sparked thought-provoking discussions that resonated far beyond the limits of a normal talk show.
Thank God for YouTube, The People’s Channel.
For the uninitiated, Khleo Thomas is a multitalented figure in the media industry. From acting to entrepreneurship, he has carved out a niche for himself with notable ventures like Nike in NBA 2K19, hosting roles on platforms like RapTV and All Def Digital, and with his own personal brand, SLICKLVNG, he focuses on personal growth, positivity, hard work, and dedication to your craft.

As Frankey spoke with Khleo, she asked him a question that really ignited my interest:
FF: Which community do you like the best? The acting community or the streaming community? Which one do you feel more support from?
KT: I feel more support from the streaming community, I feel more support from the cosplay community, I feel more support from the gaming community as a whole, for sure. I’ve got the chance to branch out and do so many things outside of acting. I’m grateful for acting to opening up the doors for sure, and bring the attention, but what I’ve been able to do as far as business, I’m very grateful for what I’ve built.
...and it is here, at that pivotal moment, that I realized, Fantastic Frankey has a hit on her hands.
When it comes to the gaming community, they tend to be highly active in supporting their favorite games, developers, and content creators through various means, such as purchasing merchandise, attending conventions, and participating in crowdfunding campaigns. Additionally, if the brand behind the game or any gaming endeavor is respectable, honest, and upfront with their consumers, they usually have a fan for life.
As for Khleo, the number of followers he has accrued outside of his acting career says it all.... GOATED indeed.
Overall, the future of Fighting Words looks promising as Frankey navigates the changing landscape of pop culture, highlighting the industry’s overlooked gems and addressing any stereotypes within the realm with sharp wit and enthusiasm. With Frankey’s dedication to challenging biases and fostering inclusive discussions, the show not only entertains but also educates, ensuring a bright future for all who engage with it.
Prepare yourselves, ladies, and gentlemen, for a journey where every spoken word becomes a rallying call for change, and each conversation presents an opportunity to influence the trajectory of pop culture.
Welcome to Fighting Words.
Respect.
