  • Almost perfect but still 5 stars

    I’ve loved the podcast and have been a listener since day one. I would also like to add I’m a subscriber of your red circle. My only gripe with you guys is that you don’t seem to put out episodes for big movies led by Black actors. I’ve been anticipating your take on The Drama, and I’m patiently waiting for a review of The Long Walk, although I’m not sure that movie completely fits your criteria.

    Lastly, I’d love for you guys to broaden your movie selections a bit. I’d suggest reviewing films fr... more

  • Great show!

    Love it! Feel like I’m not understanding your guys’ view of satire/black comedy if you think the latest PTA isn’t a comedy in any way? I feel like it is. Respectfully.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Loving w/ Tim Barnes
Q: So today we are talking about the film Loving.
This movie came out in 2016. It is about the couple that was at the center of the Supreme Court case that finally made it like, hey, interracial marriage is okay everywhere in the United States.
Loving w/ Tim Barnes
Q: Tim, we usually let our guests go first unless you don't want to. You could pass it.
I think I couldn't help but think about the timing. This was probably filmed during the Obama administration, and then it came out in 2016.
One Battle After Another
Q: What are your initial thoughts on the film?
The hosts expressed admiration for the film's direction and performances, particularly how it tackled political themes while maintaining engagement.
Lilies of the Field w/ Ben Arogundade (Teaser)
Q: How do we maintain the desire for fairness and compassion in the industry?
Arogundade suggests that societal change is often triggered by external events rather than lasting moral change, creating a need for continual advocacy for representation.
Lilies of the Field w/ Ben Arogundade (Teaser)
Q: Did you find yourself feeling empowered by writing this book or did it bring you down a little?
He views it as a pragmatic effort to illuminate the facts about racial disparities in Hollywood rather than getting discouraged by them.
