Sam Ike is a Stand Up Comedian living in Boston and years ago in college he fell in love with the movie Hollywood Shuffle. The movie created and produced by Robert Townsend about being a minority trying to make it in the industry is unfortunately still VERY relevant today. This movie tackles tokenism and cancel culture way before its time. We all "loved-ed" it very much. Support the show!

The movies Sister Act I & II were pretty much non-negotiable for kids of the 90's so Paige and I have each seen these movies well over hundreds of times. As we are still dealing with the emotional reality of the time we're living in, we thought we would take a look at the world through the lens of these joyful, joyful movies starring a living legend and a queen, Whoopi Goldberg. Support the show!

So luckily Paige and I aren't monsters and we didn't need a podcast to encourage us to see Jordan Peele's Get Out.
