  • Tre’vell for President of Movies

    Honestly I’d follow Tre’vell anywhere but into the arms of Ray Love Jr is like dessert for breakfast.

    I really appreciate the experience & knowledge these two bring to analysis, and I appreciate them providing the context of their personal taste to the hot takes.
