“Some things to know about this podcast:
1. What I love best about this show, even more than humor, is the brutally honest way social issues are weaved into the conversations. This isn’t just a show about films and how they relate to other films. This is, more often than not, about how these films resonate with how people are living today.
2. The bonus episodes are often as essential as those that tackle individual films. Their Baltimore In Chaos and Charleston, S.C. episodes in particular give you articulate, and refreshingly unfiltered, insights that fill in a lot of gaps that the attendant media coverage leaves out.
3. They have no mercy for certain sacred cows of black cinema. Fans of SCHOOL DAZE, HOLLYWOOD SHUFFLE, BOYZ N THE HOOD…brace yourselves for heartbreak.
4. If you choose to watch along with every film they cover, as I do, you will see some absolute garbage. And Netflix will then recommend additional garbage, because you chose to finish N-SECURE.
5. They don’t usually do in-depth background research on the films beyond reading out some of the trivia items on Internet Movie Database. But that doesn’t mean cinephiles won’t learn a few things. How often do you read about the late 90s ushering in a golden age in black cinema?
6. They have yet to cover NOTHING BUT A MAN, EVE’S BAYOU, JACKIE BROWN, JUICE, DAVE CHAPPELLE’S BLOCK PARTY, BAMBOOZLED, BLACK CAESAR, COOLEY HIGH, or THE OVERSIMPLIFICATION OF HER BEAUTY. But they have covered TEMPTATION: CONFESSIONS OF A MARRIAGE COUNSELOR. I’m still giving them 5 stars.”

I was one of the people who saw Rosewood in theaters. I was in college pursuing a dual major at FAMU and FSU. This movie just rocked me to the...”Read full review »

“I had to put episode 50 on pause and write a review, because, well, I did think that Jay was a white guy saying the n-word too, and I was getting mad at Micah and Terrance for not cussing you out.
Sorry bruh.
I figured it out you were black after about ten minutes though, when you were...”Read full review »
