Horrible. Not funny. Black? Maybe just in the color of y’all skin. You don’t sound black at all. Mad corny. Please stop. Just stop!!

Honestly, one of my favorite podcasts! Not only does it pull me into movies that I wanted to watch anyway, but it’s like having a conversation with your friends outside the theater. The 3 hosts are funny, personable, and offer wonderful insight to movie going and the black experience! 50/10...Read full review »

You all must review Mea Culpa. I need to hear your commentary. 😂🤣

The Book of Clarence was referenced in the Harder They Fall at minute 52:31, Jim Beckworth says, “Like they say in the Book of Clarence, “No man out-speed me.” Nice Easter egg

discovered thru blank check a month ago and have listened to *nothing* else since! these guys are so funny that my face sometimes hurts from laughing (omg, the cats episode…) then you realize that they’re intelligent and insightful and use comedy as a vehicle to help people open their eyes to the...Read full review »

I had a bunch of episodes I was waiting to listen to until I caught up on the movies. Now they are all behind a paywall. I’ll still enjoy new episodes, but I’m reducing costs atm so I can’t do a sub. Maybe I’ll catch the episodes I missed if they get cycled to free like HDTGM does with their...Read full review »

I listen to you guys ALL the time so the love of the show and you funny brothas is there. I would love to hear you guys do a review on the 2000’s film by Spike Lee BAMBOOZLED starring Damon Wayans, Jada Pinkett Smith, Tommy Davidson, and Savion Glover. p.s…. Keep the bits alive (yes they can...Read full review »

I’ve been binging this podcast for a week now and honestly it is the BEST movie review podcast. I love it all, from Braylock’s cringey title intro to James III’s undying love for Hancock. They give a fresh view on movies from a lens that not a lot of critics will understand (y’all know the ones)...Read full review »
Deej1992 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/23
I have been listening to the podcast since my friend told me about it a couple years ago. Love listening to it while I’m at work and listening to your different opinions on the movies. I do get annoyed by Braylock’a transitions in the cold openings however. There are a few movies I think you guys...Read full review »
Z.D via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/23
I love this podcast so much, I've listened for years but a movie y'all haven't done yet which I think would be perfect for the podcast is a little known movie called Malibu's Most Wanted. Thanks for the laughs and the great commentary.Read full review »

Hey guys! Love the podcast and message you are getting across. When I’m home I listen with my little sister Sasha and she loves it is as well. I look forward every week. If you ever do a show in NY or Boston I’m there! But where is the Missing pod? It stars Storm Reid, Nia Long and Ken Leung. It...Read full review »

One of the best podcasts out there!
rhen356 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/23
I found you guys years ago and I just have to say that this podcast is amazing. I love that you guys are able to come together and talk about these films with different perspectives. Over the years you have reviewed great movies and not so great movies and highlighted how as black people we don’t...Read full review »
:Dsmalls via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/23
I found this podcast and thought great! Three black men. Surely we’ll have all the same film opinions. Nope! We’re not a monolith, but I love hearing from you guys. But also, I just listened to the Oscars special and it is soo nice to hear people who are not enthralled by Banshees. Everyone loves...Read full review »
Andre the Virgin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/23
Love what these fine gentlemen do week to week. They are hilarious and insightful and often completely change my view of recent films. I always feel smarter after hearing them dissect a movie. Would love to hear them review the Hulu film “Plan B”, as I think it would be great to hear their views...Read full review »
Son of Stoddard via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/23
Just saw that this podcast that I love is featured this month (Feb 2023)! So deserved. I love listening to these friends get into ridiculous and yet still deep arguments - the kind I love getting into with my friends. Since beginning to listen to this podcast a few years back, I have learned so...Read full review »
Stressed in SF via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/23
Hey guys I just found your podcast about 2 weeks ago and I have to say that I really enjoy it. The review you guys did on Ray was great, Jamie Fox was amazing in it and deserved to win the Oscar, but it was bittersweet to see him win. Because he went up against Don Cheadle that year for Hotel...Read full review »
Devon2k1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/23
Hey guys. Love the podcast! Especially the episodes where you break down horror movies like Nope, People Under the Stairs and Barbarian. When done well, I think black horror explores the horrors of black American culture through the lens of fantasy and keeps it from feeling like just another...Read full review »

Hey guys! Just wanted to say how much I enjoy the pod. My husband put me on and we are always laughing and texting about the show. I took an AA in film course in undergrad and have always been interested in our history through film. And Jerah, as a native Virginian Howard Alum and lifelong fan, I...Read full review »
Drcandee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/23
Such a fan of the pod! It’s always great to hear your perspectives and it feels like I’m with friends every episode. It’s been great to see your work outside of the pod and always have to support. Love this space and am excited to see what you all have next. Question for you though. Is Hancock a...Read full review »

Aj here from Texas! Such a fan of yall. I wish Astronomy club got another season. Also if yall haven’t already can yall review cadillac records and/or jasons lyric!
Ahumber via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/23
Every single episode Jerah finds a way to shade the movie ‘Green Book’ and I love that energy lol. Great podcast.
Ericca103 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/23
Your episode on “Devotion” answered a lot of questions for me that about your philosophy around “Black pain.” There are times, such as your review of “Till,” where I ask myself, “wouldn’t movies that center Black experiences in America have to center black pain and American racism or else fail to...Read full review »
Jon D in NYC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/19/23
Wish this podcast didn't have to exist, but I'm glad it does. Jerah, James, and Jonathan have a lot of knowledge to share and I've learned a lot from these guys. I look at movies differently, both in terms of race and diversity, but also the writing in general. Been listening since...Read full review »
westcoastspidey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/30/22
I usually listen on Spotify, but heard y’all were running out of new 5 star reviews and needed some help. This is the only podcast I listen to, because nothing else I’ve found has the combination of hilarious and compelling conversation I’m looking for. I know y’all do movies, but would love to...Read full review »
Ahnaf Hassan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/22
Growing up I always knew I was mixed. However, I wasn’t around a lot of African-Canadian/African-American culture, and have only recently been leaning into it and finding my identity as a mixed Black woman (thanks 23 and me). I have to say, just listening to you all speak makes me feel like I’m...Read full review »
botany_girl13 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/06/22
After I watch a movie, I’m always curious to hear what other Black people think of it so I’m grateful to have found the pod and have been bingeing it over the last couple of weeks. You guys always make me laugh and Jerah I’m with you on Hidden Figures lol - looking forward to more episodes!
Fan from Aussie via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/25/22
I really love this show. I started listening to it during the pandemic when it became part of the MAU (Melisa Auditory Universe) and I got hooked. You guys are so funny and insightful. Jonathan don’t get rid of your bits. Sometimes they’re a hit or miss but the anger that comes from James III and...Read full review »
g0odluckpeep via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/22/22
So I’ve been listening for years (and this is probably about to be long so you may not want to read this one on the pod). But these guys have such a good rapport which makes this podcast a joy to listen to. They each have a funny “bit” that makes me chuckle every time. Although I think maybe...Read full review »
April from Maryland via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/14/22
As a white man that can’t jump this pod has seriously made me view film from a differing perspective other than from my own little bubble.
Kermit.T.Hermit via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/02/22
I love this show. It’s a good balance of humor, seriousness, and educates me on different perspectives. Also, I don’t know what the beef is with the intros. I think John’s intros are seamless. Also, Steel should make a cameo in every movie.
vilacron via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/22
Truly my favorite discovery of the year. I can’t believe I’m so late to the joy that is Jon, James, and Jerah reviewing and analyzing films. Look forward to this every week. Thanks for the laughs and insight, gentlemen. Also, Jerah’s take on Fire Island was complete trash.
A Reader and Stan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/21/22
Yo BMCJ Podcast, this podcast is about broadcasting the upliftment of African American artist in hollywood and a great film to do that would be Basquiat starring Jeffrey Wright. This movie gives an honest protrayal of Jean-Michel Basquiat the first person of African descent to break into the art...Read full review »

Been listening for a while now finally decided to write a review lol🥴🤦🏽‍♂️😂. I love this podcast shout to to y’all doing this for the culture.

I know y’all gonna review this one , but just in case I’m bringing it up here. This one is a must. Viola Davis is our Queen. So many great black performances in this one. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Jackavelli via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/23/22
Recently found this through an ad on a different podcast. I love movie review podcasts and the hosts have a fun banter.
rae the nerd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/22
I just learned about this podcast about a week ago and I’ve been diving into the a ton of past episodes. They’re all so good. These three men are so funny and clearly share great friendships amongst them. I recently listened to an old episode where they decried the lack of Richard Pryor movies...Read full review »

More lame corny jokes please
tylerbradelyarnette via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/26/22
This podcast is trash. I wanted to hear a podcast about movies from black points of view and all I got was buffoonery. All they do is act obnoxious. I’m unsubscribing, I can’t take the corniness. More insightful and intelligent opinions and less lame corny jokes. 👎🏾
Elohino via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/22
I am updating my review and keeping the 5 stars! Still love the podcast. I appreciated the Nope review since I just saw the movie. It was perfect timing and I got so excited when I saw the episode was out. I would definitely watch the 3 hours directors cut. Even with all the flaws I loved the...Read full review »
Seffire 1969 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/22
I’ve been listening since before the pandemic, so sorry it took me so long to review. James, I’ve always loved your bit from Hancock to now birds(?) lol and how you say your name as cheery as you can. John, how you slide the title in every episode in the most ridiculous way. Jerah, now I didn’t...Read full review »
