[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_07]: You know, we didn't say we were never going to do Hollywood Black.

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, let's all get, you watched that movie, right?
[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_07]: You, you, you, you, you did.
[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_05]: I, I watched it.
[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh-huh.
[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, I don't even know what to say about that movie.
[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_01]: About the deliverance, yes?
[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, so you're saying the deliverance.
[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_05]: So that is the name of the movie.
[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I love horrible movies.
[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_05]: This is people who know me know this.
[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, and so I was like, oh, wow.
[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, horrible.
[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, finally did.
[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Like what?
[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_05]: With who?
[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Let's see what this is about.
[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_05]: And it's based on a true story.
[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_05]: All things that I am normally for.
[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_05]: But then it wasn't just the story that I was like, what is happening in this series?
[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.
[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_05]: But it was also the fact that you can't just have all your characters be unlikable.
[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, you have to want a root for somebody in the movie.
[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_05]: And I don't know anybody that I really wanted to root for in that movie other than the kids
[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_05]: who were also partaking and doing the terrible stuff because they were possessed by whatever
[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_05]: and she was in the house.
[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_05]: So, I mean, my tweet is still up about it.
[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'm pretty sure I was like, okay, that happened.
[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_05]: It was like something to that effect.
[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I was just like, okay.
[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_05]: I can't believe parts of it were in the movie.
[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, Nappy Pussy is something that I will never get out of my head now.
[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_05]: And I never wanted to end there at the first place.
[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_05]: I appreciate the Glenn closest of the world for being a part of the fabric of our community
[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_05]: and you're under, that's what he said.
[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_07]: I didn't expect that up.
[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_07]: That part of the fabric.
[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_07]: Like, there's a fabric and then sprinkle in it.
[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Glenn close calling somebody pussy Nappy.
[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_05]: I never thought I would see a scene where Glenn close is sitting in a chair
[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_05]: and like sitting on the floor is, it's Audrey Day and she's doing her hair.
[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_05]: And then sitting between Audrey Day as her daughter and she's doing her hair.
[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_07]: You'd never seen a, a brain train, you know,
[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, on screen, a bar set they have a fucking intent.
[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_07]: But Mark said, y'all not do a quick wee train.
[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_07]: You know, where it's like one by one by one and then with the, with the matriarch, uh, white lady,
[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_07]: uh, leading the back.
[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Steve, my, my train was very different.
[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_05]: It was my grandmother and me and my baby doll.
[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_05]: That is when I think of when I think of that scenario.
[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I never would peg Glenn close to somebody who knew how to do a weave.
[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Well, here we are.
[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_01]: We are.
[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_07]: But here we are, check out our coverage of the little limerists.
[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_07]: If you didn't listen to it, um, we had Asia on Asia for survivor 47 on as I said.
[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, Asia, it's a star of survivor 47 star of survivor 47.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_07]: And first up on the doctor this week, Quest Love is directing and earth wind and fire
[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_07]: documentary and this made me so happy.
[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_07]: I love earth wind and fire so much.
[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_07]: Last week we had a little bit of a morbid episode when we talked about, um,
[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_07]: the loss of Frankie Beverly and several other, you know, icons in our community music icons
[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_07]: but to me it gets no more iconic than earth wind and fire.
[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_07]: And so this is the article up on our screen from variety by Angelique Jackson talking about the documentary.
[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_07]: And, you know, one thing that I'll say is that Quest Love went and did this the right way.
[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_07]: According to the article, uh, he went and got the permission you get this from the estate of
[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_07]: the family of Marries White. You know, we've seen so many times in these last few years.
[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_07]: Where these celebrities just look up and they're like, Mrs. being used.
[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_07]: There's AI rap verses by their dead.
[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, he's been a two.
[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_07]: Marry.
[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm so happy Quest Love did this the right way because I can't wait for this documentary.
[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, it we saw a biopic and a lia biopic with absolutely no lia music in it because
[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_02]: the information from the estate. Like it's like, if you can't do that bare minimum,
[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_02]: you shouldn't do anything else. But the fact that this is a documentary and not a biopic
[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_02]: is very interesting to me. So I'm definitely, I definitely want to see how it turns out.
[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Unfortunately, people might not like what I would say, but earth wind and fire is like, they're like,
[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_02]: okay, like I don't, I don't have like, I know. I don't have like a like a direct connection to them.
[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Like my mom, like we didn't really listen to that. Like I listen to it at the roller skating
[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_02]: ring, like I get it. But like I just, you know what I'm saying? Like I just, I'm just not a,
[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to say I'm not a fan. It's just I don't know much about earth wind and fire.
[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm going to watch this documentary not knowing which is going to be great, you know? But
[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just, I'm just glad like our people's stories are being told and people are getting their fires
[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, let's talk to you where you are where we had an earth wind and fire heater in our midst.
[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh my god. I wasn't aware that anybody could even be earth, what is fire here?
[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_07]: So I mean, just a waste of what it does so much. She hates those so much. The way she just
[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_07]: dragged earth wind and fire, let's talk to him. What's going on? I could as far as I said, I like pancakes,
[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_07]: not that I didn't hate waffles. Okay. Me, it sounds like you hate waffles, which are obviously
[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_07]: you're a whole family hate some. I did a rational hang on. Let's talk to you. What is, what's going on?
[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Sorry. No, as I've said on this very podcast before, growing up we didn't have, you know,
[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_02]: phones where you can listen to our own music. So the whole music we listened to was the music that
[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_02]: our parents listened to when we drove in the car and my mom just listened to Michael Jackson and
[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Kelly, I'm sorry. I was born in 1969 by Maurice White known for just this sound of funk.
[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_07]: So R&B Jazz 90 million records, six Grammy Awards and 11 consecutive albums going
[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_07]: dull to platinum. These are my people. You know, tell me you like earth wind and fire,
[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_05]: do you remember the 21st night of September? It was literally a couple of days ago. It was
[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_05]: a couple days ago. Yes, it was a couple days ago. Yes, it was a few days ago. You know, I think
[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_05]: reasons is my favorite one. Just because whenever a man hit high notes,
[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_05]: it was like a fun thing for us when we were growing up. I don't know what it is. It's not
[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I only know reasons from that Jenny Fox movie.
[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_02]: What movie? In the house of reasons?
[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, that isn't held up. Yeah, I've heard he hired reference held up. It's so long.
[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_07]: Marry pool held up. Oh, no, where. I'm probably with Hollywood. I did. Next thing
[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_01]: would be like, y'all remember sprung. I was good. I was the underrated version of booty call.
[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_06]: It was like a play. Yeah, Dina. Yeah, let's all you. I think my favorite
[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_07]: or it's when it fire. I do love reasons with we mentioned September already. Looking
[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_07]: underland. It's true tonight. I know all these stuff. Yeah, yeah. You're always.
[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_02]: You're always. Yeah, I never said I wasn't a fan. I just don't remember you about the band. Like,
[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I know I know the singles. I know the you know, but I don't know this project is for you. Exactly.
[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly. We love a music documentary. I like history, but I love history of Black
[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_07]: Folk and there. And so very excited to see what happens. So like, musical documentaries, I think
[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_02]: it's a sub genre that I really am going to start really. Yes. And too because I watched the
[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_02]: the, uh, the weirdo world. Yes, the weirdo world. Yeah, it's so good. It's so good. Oh, my god. And then
[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I also watched the real era 40. I believe about thriller turning 40. Oh my god. So good. So like,
[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah, musical music documentaries, you forget how like good those can be as long as they're done
[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_02]: like in a way that doesn't feel like like, like, you know how like behind the music. You know,
[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_02]: like behind the music was used to be like really good. But then like near the end it started to get
[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_02]: kind of like, celacious. Like I want to hear about kind of like the music's musical side. I don't
[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_02]: know if I want to hear about like the downfall side all that much just beneath. Yeah, whatever. I
[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_02]: like, yeah, musical documentaries is such a cool like sub genre with documentary. Yeah, I really
[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_07]: love the we are the world documentary. Oh, I was not familiar with it. It was on Netflix and I like,
[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_07]: I like documentaries when they have raw footage of what happened back then. Yeah, I love yeah,
[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_07]: I love when people tell stories, but I love to see it, you know, like, it's kind of just
[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_07]: often the room. And that was a crazy night where you get to see why Michael Jackson is Michael Jackson.
[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, what everybody else thought about Michael Jackson. Like, that's really how I felt because
[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_07]: seeing like Quincy Jones who we knew was kind of like a mentor to Michael Jackson, but also not being
[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_07]: able to reign Michael Jackson in because he is Michael Jackson. See him like just like Lionel Richie,
[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_07]: you know, the social butterfly that he is and like just like all the moving pieces and then all
[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_02]: the artists coming together. It was so good. So I mean, keep she like he hostage trying to get
[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_07]: right, right exactly. It didn't have so many layers when you bring in Michael and
[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Prince. So yeah, anytime I can get a musical documentary, it's basically one that's told in a fun
[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_07]: light, I think are going to be great. And so I'm looking forward to this, Latania, any thoughts about
[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_07]: it being Quest Love who's taking this and making it. I mean, I feel like it's going to be really
[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_05]: good because it's him because he has just he's a genius for one and he has so much musical
[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_05]: sensibility and a sense of history as well. Like you get the idea that he realizes the
[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_05]: shoulders that he's standing on and tries to make those people proud with every note that he plays.
[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_05]: And so I feel like with, you know, a project like this, he's really going to knock it out of the
[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_05]: one documentary that I was on Hulu. Try to remember the name, but it was about it. It was about
[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_05]: a festival. Oh, I'm so, yeah, I'm so, yeah. And it was really good and like insightful and
[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_05]: it was shot really interestingly as well. So I feel like if he is, if those are the sensibilities
[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_05]: he's working with when it comes to the visual medium and you know, not just music, then it's going
[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_05]: to transfer well to this topic to Darth Winnifier. Yeah, and I heard that he is going to be the
[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_07]: executive producer of the remake to the Aristotel's movie that is apparently slated to happen. And so,
[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_07]: yeah, Quest Love's got his hands on a lot of different things. I think they're doing it for like
[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_07]: the real animals. I don't know if it'll be like live action or not. I don't really know how to know
[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_02]: how to know it, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I believe you'll have it, they don't have to change.
[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_02]: You've never seen it. Please don't tell me you've never seen a real sketch. I've never seen
[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_07]: this, I've never seen either. Oh, yeah. I know the song everybody wants to be a cat like I got
[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_07]: you know that song. That's not that I'm just saying he has said that name. Yes, I was not to say there
[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_02]: there's no way, yes. That's the thing that changed that up because that was not what I was
[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I was just saying before you said, you didn't see it.
[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_05]: It needs loves their racist cats.
[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_02]: They do.
[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah.
[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_02]: What?
[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_02]: You used to fall asleep watching it.
[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And you always have to put something in the falls asleep.
[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Well, West Lo's behind it's I'm sure it'll be good.
[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_07]: Sorry.
[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Expecting pieces because it's about a woman,
[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_02]: a baby mama and her kids being beaten.
[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my God.
[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_06]: We can't complain.

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is yeah, this is right up the alley of the whole rebrand weird.
[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_02]: But what is the difference between the BT awards and the BT hip hop?
[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_07]: This is strictly rap based.
[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_07]: You know, on the BT awards, they like to slip in a gospel tribute every now and then.
[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_07]: We did get a Shibuzi I think doing his country Western song.
[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_07]: You know, like they really like to do that in the BT awards.
[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_07]: This is rap.
[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_07]: This is hip hop.
[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_07]: This is Drake.
[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_07]: This is Kim Lamar.
[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_07]: This is Megan Stowian.
[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_07]: So you know more than likely this is a space for us to really honor.
[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_07]: You know, this homegrown form of artistry in hip hop and give people their flowers.
[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_07]: And especially, I'm very happy because it's made.
[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_07]: Y'all know how I feel about these two.
[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's perfect.
[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_07]: She didn't know we're all gonna ask that she needs these wins.
[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_07]: I think I was surprised that she didn't get like a VMA for like a video because I
[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_07]: know the whole snake thing that she's been doing.
[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Like all the amaze.
[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, the amaze have that history.
[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_05]: I wasn't surprised when she didn't win in award on the same.
[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I was the amaze are not prestigious enough to be acting like they're the Oscars.
[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_02]: They're just really cool.
[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_02]: They're going to be like not giving.
[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_02]: They gave Katy Perry the most iconic performance in the performance of all time.
[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_02]: People had to Google what the performance was.
[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, what do you mean?
[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I don't think of Katy Perry when I think of iconic VMA performance.
[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, sorry.
[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_02]: What was the performance?
[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, what was the performance?
[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_02]: It was the performance of Rourer under the Brooklyn Bridge and her.
[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Stop playing with me.
[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_02]: You said that.
[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_02]: That has like what?
[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_02]: No, my dad.
[00:18:41] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, no.
[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_07]: It pretty serious not hold that.
[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_07]: She did not hold that.
[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_07]: That's not my dad.
[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, that part.
[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_07]: For just for to be disrespectful.
[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_07]: Like this.
[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Lady Gaga not dangled upside down bleeding.
[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Bleeding.
[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't want to show you.
[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Showing up and meet to give people what they want.
[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_07]: So you dress like me.
[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_07]: Katy Perry, you're here.
[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Rekking in the VMAs.
[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_07]: You're right.
[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, it will be like one of the other nominations with Beyonce revealing shoes pregnant with Blue Ivy.
[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah. Totally not as iconic as Rourer under the bridge.
[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_07]: And then the bridge.
[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't even for like left shark.
[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, like that.
[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Like she has some references.
[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_06]: We go up for that's not the one.
[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not a hit.
[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, for the BT have public words.
[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Meg honestly 12 nominations.
[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course.
[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I think the it's felt like Meg opened this this year.
[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Like hip hop wise with her beef and Nikki and dropping his.
[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And then just she's been hitting it out of the park ever since then, especially with her collaborations.
[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if you guys know this.
[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_02]: But two weeks ago, the SmackDown moved from Fox to USA network.
[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And so they had a new season start and every time SmackDown does a new rebrand from when it goes from one network to another.
[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_02]: It got a new rebrand.
[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't really like the logo, whatever that's not what we're here to talk about.
[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_02]: But it did get a new song and the new song is Megan's new song with R in from BTS.
[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I forget that actually never played yes.
[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_02]: That is now the official song.
[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's all the SmackDown.
[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I would have you back down which is.
[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I did not like one, I love that song and two who was already where did you come from?
[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Why do you sound like that?
[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_02]: You sound amazing.
[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Well for RM here because if we don't.
[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, yes, BTS stands will come after us.
[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_07]: The army.
[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.
[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I look new fan, new fan he's like.
[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And and it's crazy that that's now the SmackDown theme song.
[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course, for people who hate that because.
[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It's crazy.
[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_02]: But like it is it's so good.
[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It's such a good song.
[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_02]: So she's having like a banger of a year.
[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_02]: She just hosted the Mates like said so.
[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Um, Mari, I believe she tweeted out something like, I think it's finally time.
[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_07]: I make my debut on SmackDown.
[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Is there any world where we get to see the style you.
[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Passo on that backstage.
[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Can't see these now you're in the ring.
[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Bianca already invited her.
[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Ooh, hey, come on girl.
[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, okay.
[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And sorry.
[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't mean to get on wrestling.
[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_02]: But, uh, WWE fired their in-house music people.
[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank God they suck.
[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, so now the talent can actually find and license their own music now.
[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully we're getting more like a better crossover of like music and wrestling.
[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, and hopefully if Meg is in that mood, she can help help our sisters with a theme song.
[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Because technically Jayden Bianca who are team, they don't have a tag team overall theme.
[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's more okay.
[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_07]: Latania.
[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_07]: She got nominated for a song for the year.
[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Lyrs is of the year.
[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Hip-hop album with the year hip-hop.
[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_07]: Art is of the year.
[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Hustler of the year.
[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_07]: Best life for former.
[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Best life here.
[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_07]: Best of the year.
[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Sweet 16.
[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Best featured birds impact track and three.
[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_07]: And the category for best collaboration.
[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_07]: Okay. So this might be the year of these stallion.
[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_07]: Let's not do it.
[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, it was for me in terms of what I'm listening to.
[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_05]: So I don't understand why it shouldn't be for the BET hip-hop awards.
[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_05]: She's just, she's everything.
[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Like I just love her so much and I only want the best for her.
[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_05]: And I would be happy if she won every single award.
[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_07]: No big saying big saying.
[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_07]: I want to stay on music for a little bit and talk about one of the shows that is back.
[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_07]: I show that I have not expected to last this long.
[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, we are talking about the voice.
[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_07]: The voice.
[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_07]: Back baby.
[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_07]: And this, this top we have another lineup of guests including the D.O.W.
[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Jissel Snoop Dogg joining Reber McIntyre,
[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_07]: who is a great guest of the party in Michael Blueglay for season 26 of the voice and 26.
[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I'm so excited of Snoop Dogg all the boys.
[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_07]: First of all, he was insane.
[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_07]: He is a walking living legend.
[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_07]: And I feel like he's amongst the greats.
[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_07]: And he's going to be so much fun on this show because he's extra a.
[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_07]: If we saw a good summer with Latania him and play.
[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_07]: It's what we're trying to do the Olympics.
[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_07]: They weren't the Olympics.
[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_07]: I think I'd guess it is officially to the USA.
[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, that was nice.
[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes, Snoop Dogg was involved in the opening ceremonies for NBC.
[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Play with play with sponsoring the women's water polluting.
[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_05]: The Olympics were made so much more fun just by them being there.
[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_05]: And I just remember the gymnasts when they were in qualifying and they saw this Snoop Dogg was in the stands.
[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_05]: And they started dancing and pointing and he started dancing and pointing.
[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah.
[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_05]: He might make me start watching the voice again because I haven't watched the voice in a long time.
[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_05]: But I love the format of it just you know love music obviously.
[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_05]: So getting to stay in the long till like and hear all these new talents and how amazing their voices are.
[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_05]: And then see them develop as they work with their mentors.
[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Really cool content for a show.
[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_05]: So I'm excited that he's joining and I feel like he might bring back some fun to the judging panel.
[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_07]: I was watching the trailer and it definitely looks like a little bit more fun.
[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_07]: We'll be at it into the season.
[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_07]: Snoop was signed in 1992 by Death Row Records and now in 2024 he owns Death Row Records.
[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_07]: So this is like a like I said, a legend but also he's such a big personality.
[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_07]: I saw them doing gags on like the in the trailer that are coming from the season showing like I think at one point.
[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_07]: He like sets off some smoke bombs around other judges and he's like so you can't see them.
[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_07]: So come obviously you need to pick me and Michael Blueblades and something like I don't know what just happened, but I got the munchies.
[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_07]: And so I think there's a new dog's personality a lot in your mind.
[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_07]: He gave somebody I saw him.
[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, no, a platinum like Death Row Records chain and be like, hey, if you join my team, you could get one of these.
[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_07]: And I thought really, I'm really going to stop.
[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_06]: So some people off the voice mark.
[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, maybe I I still love the voice like the first few seasons.
[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I used to love it off the strength of a format alone and then whenever I would like stop watching, I will come back for the judge.
[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_02]: So I remember when usher premiered for it as a judge.
[00:26:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, baby, let me like walk back every time they there was like a special judge.
[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I always would come back and watch.
[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So this might be right up my alley. I love the format of the voice and a sense of like first the blind auditions.
[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, just going off her voice and then the knockout rounds. I still love the knockout rounds.
[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_02]: There are songs from the knockout where like duets from the knockout rounds that I still was into on my phone today because it's just so good.
[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_02]: But it always falls through to me as soon as you get to audience voting.
[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_02]: You like yeah, because of course, like Adam and Blake win every friend season.
[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It's always a country music star or something like that.
[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_02]: But for those first few rounds, it is an amazing show.
[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's to me.
[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_07]: I think the reason why I don't watch the voices because and this is going to sound ridiculous, but it come with me on this journey.
[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_07]: I like reality shows that people are talking about.
[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_07]: And for some reason with the voice, it feels like while it's on, like you said,
[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Mark, in the early stages is like, oh, yeah, we're talking about it.
[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_07]: By the time the winner is crowned, I can't name.
[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.
[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know anybody who could name the winners of the voice.
[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_05]: No, that's not the problem with the show.
[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_05]: There are so many talents people on the show, but as not as winners of the voice,
[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_05]: like I don't know very many people from the voice period.
[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_05]: We've gone out to have like long a long story career.
[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm like radio play.
[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I do.
[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I know I definitely do.
[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but yeah, it's like Melanie Martinez.
[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I was thinking of what I said many people, but then she kind of like got, yeah, cancelled.
[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Christina Grimmie loved her, rest in peace to her.
[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it's just, yeah.
[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_02]: So unfortunately.
[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's just like, I think the problem with the voice is because the coaches are there.
[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's exo facto.
[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just like a draft.
[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_02]: You attribute the win to the coach.
[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_02]: You remember the coaching win more than the who the person was.
[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm really sure that black girl in that black country girl got so close.
[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't think she won.
[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I, and I wonder if she's the same one who was on the Beyonce album.
[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, it's really hard.
[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_02]: It is true.
[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, I know a few from like their original series like the beginning seasons.
[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just like knowing the end Asia and and.
[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Kelly Clarkson, but not knowing.
[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying like.
[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, so I agree.
[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I, I, I just sucks that it.
[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_02]: You never follow all the way through.
[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah, for sure.
[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_07]: It's got come in to experience of these artists in their time.
[00:28:50] [SPEAKER_07]: You know, I was like, dang, um, for me, I know someone who was actually on the voice, uh,
[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_07]: for like a we went to high school together and I believe college.
[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Um, her name was dead, uh, dead was on like season 19.
[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_07]: And I think she was on team Kelly and like, I know she's a great singer.
[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_07]: But like, I knew the voice wasn't going to appreciate her.
[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_07]: And so I was got to like if she wins, I don't know if she doesn't win.
[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_07]: Then we, we move right?
[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_07]: And she has to really give moments.
[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_07]: But to me, like, you know, there's no legend behind the winners of the voice.
[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_07]: And maybe that's a thing that I need to, to correct.
[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_07]: But I don't think the show doesn't do a lot like like in the old days where I'm
[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_07]: telling Clarkson and all these other American, I don't want to as with such household names.
[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_07]: The voice seems like a harder singing competition.
[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_07]: And then also, you know, not getting the recognition that I think some of them deserve.
[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_07]: So hopefully it's noop dog is able to bring back some some fire and some excitement to the voice.
[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Sorry, this was a topic that you brought up and I'm dying to talk about it with you.
[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_07]: We got a, how did very distressed wig parties or ladies to watch parties brought back the call wig.
[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes. Okay.
[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Halley Berry is like the greatest follow on Twitter right now.
[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_02]: She is so amazingly funny on Twitter.
[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_02]: She's so with it.
[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_02]: She knows the joke. She knows the gags. She's like, they're with us, you know, and her new movie never let go.
[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_02]: It's it's I still don't know. It's a horror movie and it's basically everybody's like,
[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_02]: It's Halley Berry in a distressed wig with some kids. So it's going to be great.
[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Because we talked about her nine one one, or her nine one one.
[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, nine one one.
[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_02]: No, what's the name of the call?
[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, sorry. The call where she has this famously distressed wig on to the right that we're showing on our our YouTube page right now and she's trying to save Abigail back.
[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And you know it goes back to her losing eyes a day everybody's like highly berry and some kids. She's going to say them kids and she's going to have a distress wig while she's watching.
[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's been the running joke on Twitter for like forever. And she got it on the joke by like people were talking about we're going to go see never let go.
[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_02]: We go get our finest wigs on and she's like, okay, but so she had been organizing watch parties in like LA New York.

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, speaking of horror movies. Let's talk about what's coming soon and I think number one probably on my radar right now is Mr. Crocket.
[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Mr. Crocket coming to Hulu zone is a black horror movie where it's a movie about a mother who must rescue her son from a demonic children's TV host.
[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_07]: Who kidnapped kids and so it's coming to Hulu on October 11, sorry Jerika Hinton who is Stephanie Edwards from Grayson Avenue.
[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and her children.
[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_02]: They did. Oh my god. Oh black girls can't catch a break in grazing out of me. I said it.
[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't want to spoil Grayson Avenue for nobody who plans or watching it when you get to the Stephanie Edwards of it all.
[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, dear guy, I don't think they've ever hated a character like they hate Stephanie Edwards if he they put her through the wringer would Jackson every stood up at that wedding.
[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry. I said if you don't sit you.
[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_07]: Sorry, they made Dr. Edwards walk home.
[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Jerika.
[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm happy to introduce her to the new lineup of black final girls in horror.
[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_05]: This is going to be good. It's got like a black Freddy Kruger vibe when it comes to like killing the kids and like, you know,
[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_05]: killing the parents taking the kids. Not so killing them.
[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm not so killer like you do and it's just it's just a right kind of spooky and it's got like a kind of like I saw the TV glow vibe with yes, the BHS.
[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_05]: I think it just looks really, really good. And when I saw this, I was like, all right, you putting that in my save so that it pops up the day that it's out because I'm definitely watching.
[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, let's go. Is Mr. Crocket more.
[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I've never heard of that person.
[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_07]: So I really need to go to father of Harlem and American crime story. So yeah, he's in both those.
[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Which is a big crime. Let me let me look to see for sure, but I thought, I thought it was you was trying to get us to watch Godfather of Harlem or you had heard it was good. Yeah, no, I heard it was great. Yeah, my dad's a great really good.
[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I got it.
[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Okay, yeah, he was in Roxanne Roxanne apparently and he was in oh, no, he was in the show American crime the 2015 drama.
[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, with Regina King. Yeah, that's what he was in. Yes, so I'm not near familiar with his works because I have not seen Godfather of Harlem, but the trailer looked good and so I'm very excited to watch this we're probably going to cover you here on recap kick back.
[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_07]: I would you say.
[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's upon us. Let's talk to your candy corn is almost back baby. Yes, it's back I've decided like it's time it's time it's time it seems that I enjoyed the summer as much as anybody but Halloween is my favorite holiday so I would like that to come now please.
[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, all the other like this, you know, Tyrone likes to scare movies the week though was a good though podcast people like the scary movies Marries in on it.
[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Sorry, that's just they make you feel alive.
[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, there's a feeling part of these.
[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_05]: There's a lot of people watching horror movies that shows that just like living like simulating those types of situations make like increases all these different chemicals in your brain and makes you feel more alive.
[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_05]: And joyous afterwards.
[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_07]: Really, now I never knew that I just always thought like people just like being afraid of things and like I'm not that's not really my bag is not really what I live for.
[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I just watched the watchers and trap and I did not feel any of those feelings of joy after there's a one.
[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_05]: I just like to watch the story that I thought that I would but like when you know the movie.
[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_05]: No, the movie.
[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, no the show was I couldn't finish the show.
[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_05]: But the movie I really and like I went into it expecting it to just be dumb and then I enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would.
[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_05]: I haven't seen traffic because I'm like I have like a love hating with midnight shaman and that's how I hate shaman.
[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm not a starter.
[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_05]: They're mean.
[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_05]: She may want to hate him.
[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_07]: I love to hate him.
[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_07]: Let's not what you love about this man. He's done nothing but give me pain.
[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_02]: So.
[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_02]: You've got to write like two times.
[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I can understand that the thing sucks is in in my opinion his best movie is the sixth sense which is.
[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_02]: That first everybody's a.
[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_05]: My head get for taste bad taste.
[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_05]: But like I had the twist of that movie ruined for me before I saw.
[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_07]: That's tough to have the twist of the sixth sense.
[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Ruin for you is like taking the entire movie and just saying like we don't got to watch this no more because the isn't that the whole past the whole way.
[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I honestly don't even remember the first time I saw it.
[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_07]: I just felt like people were talking about it and then it was on and I saw it.
[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't remember.
[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It was probably ruined for me too because like I didn't want to win it came out.
[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like I watched it knowing it going in and I see.
[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_02]: That's fine. It's cool.
[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't mean I'm like.
[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, the funny thing is I like the visit.
[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I think the visit is kind of underrated.
[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_07]: What's the one where the bird comes and picks up the woman out of the pool or something like that? Like it's a bird.
[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_07]: Lady in the water.
[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_07]: Lady in the water.
[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_07]: I think you're letting the water.
[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I don't listen. I'm spoiled it in nice time.
[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_07]: I love the village people hated the village.
[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I like the village.
[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought that was a very interesting twist.
[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no.
[00:39:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think it's only other like,
[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Consentiously consensus, like really good one was unbreakable.
[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_07]: No, not unbreakable. What was the spin off with McAvoy? That's the one I've had.
[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_07]: Wait, no.
[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, that's nice.
[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_07]: That's what it's meant.
[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_07]: What is the same brought to the table?
[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know. I'm not a night ban.
[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_07]: That was a good story to movie.
[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_07]: I saw him breakable and maybe we'll watch Mr Glass.
[00:40:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it wasn't for me, but it's spooky season.
[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_07]: For me, I feel like it's time to go and watch those things.
[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_07]: Maybe we'll be able to come up on another spooky classic with Mr Cracket.
[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_07]: But let's talk about your back. Did you know that Black Mirror season seven is upon us?
[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_05]: I did not know until you said me the outline, but I'm not Black Mirror.
[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_05]: It's Blackity Blackmail. Look at those people. You got Black
[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_06]: years. Yeah, Tracy Ellis Ross and Rashida Jose.
[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Black is a spectrum.
[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_06]: You can't hold the camera.
[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And you got somebody who loves using a black scent in our own.
[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm the penis today. It's a long spectrum relation for everyone.
[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_05]: What are the part of the fabric of our community?
[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, Steven seven has Aquipena, the Lanka Brooks, Peter Capaldi, and
[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_07]: McCorin, Patty Fair and Paul Giamadi.
[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_07]: Louis Gribbon, I'll see a keyway. I think it's how you say it from Ciddale, Rashida Jones,
[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_07]: Santa Kelly, Lily Magnison, Rosie McEwinn, Kristen Melody from the Penguin.
[00:41:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Who I think is hilarious. I think Kristen Melody is so good.
[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm very excited to see you. Is that a mother from Howard Metro?
[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, she's from Howard Metro.
[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_07]: She will only be that for the rest of the Black Mirror episode, USS
[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Calester.
[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_07]: The back up. Yeah, and then you got Chris out loud.
[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_07]: And then he's a Ray as we say, Paul G. Raymond Tracy Ellis Ross, Jimmy Simpson
[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_07]: and Harriet Walter. And so Star Study, Catherine Black Mirror.
[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_07]: And again, this is a spooky show. Right?
[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_07]: To me, I've seen Black Mirror.
[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_07]: I remember sitting down and watching it. People told me you have to watch the first episode.
[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh my god, you got to watch that.
[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, and you got to go in if you enjoy that. You're like all of it.
[00:42:22] [SPEAKER_07]: What was enjoyable about that? That was torture. That poor pig.
[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_02]: But did you, but you, I remember this when you were watching them.
[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Did you skip around or did you watch?
[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_07]: I think I watched them all. I think I started off skipping around and now we still do the likes.
[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, which we got to watch this one. Right? We got to watch the ones with ESA Ray, Tracy Ellis Ross and Rashida Jaws.
[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Hopefully three separate episodes as opposed to what episode would all three of them look on here.
[00:42:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that would be something if they just want to.
[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm interested to see what they're going to do with them.
[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know, I've loved Black Mirror for a long time but like before it was on Netflix and podcasts about the last season as well.
[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_05]: So it's right up my alley. It's very, if you haven't seen Black Mirror which I'm like everybody has at this point, but it's very Twilight Zone and that's my favorite show of all time.
[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_05]: So I enjoy anything that puts a twist on what technology or like what the world is doing as a result of technology.
[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_07]: And do we know what the release date is for this because I know it's coming, but I think in 2025 is all that guy's for what that guy's.
[00:43:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, they normally don't put out a date until a lot closer.
[00:43:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Got it. And so a more Twilight Zone, Esk material to come and Black Mirror is getting a little bit blacker and so I appreciate that I'm going to I'm going to have a little watch these episodes.
[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_07]: I think Black Mirror has done a really good job of kind of like almost like clickbaiting you but definitely like dangling celebrities in front of you that you might like and say okay, we're there in it I'll go check it out and that might just be a formula that works for them because every Black Mirror episode of time is not for everybody.
[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_05]: No, it's not like I participated in like ranking favorite episodes of Black Mirror and it's interesting to see how different the rankings are for people depending on who they are.
[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Like there are just some stories that stand out for people a lot more some people like the ones that lean more to the horror side some people like those the ones that are like more focused on the technology and what the actual feature looks like so there's a little bit of something for everybody when you watch the screen.
[00:44:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe we need to write the Black Mirror episodes.
[00:44:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody say what their favorite one is right now.
[00:44:48] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know, I know that's really hard.
[00:44:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not really a favorite one. I don't think I'm white bear.
[00:44:55] [SPEAKER_02]: White bear is really good.
[00:44:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Or the entire history of you.
[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Sand unit pero is right up there.
[00:45:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I love it just for Nicole Bajari.
[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Strike your fingers. I really enjoy it more than most people like I love that it's only episode in that season that I like.
[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, push a pulse like I don't know.
[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Let's break the black black mirror episodes.
[00:45:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Somebody with the ones that stick on to me, but maybe we would do that Black and his hand.
[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_07]: Black and his hand.
[00:45:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Of episodes to go off of and then I could really go in and rank them and maybe we could dedicate it up to that.
[00:45:43] [SPEAKER_07]: But this episode is dedicated to the completion of our four part series Hollywood Black and so we'll be back to talking about Hollywood Black right after this outbreak.
[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_07]: And we're back to talking about Hollywood Black.
[00:45:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Listen, I'm very excited because we really enjoyed the first two and so I had a really high hopes for this the third and four.
[00:46:09] [SPEAKER_07]: And I really love this.
[00:46:11] [SPEAKER_07]: I think that again, this feels like a history documentary about Black media and that's the kind of stuff that we enjoy.
[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_07]: We watch a lot of Black media or media featuring black people.
[00:46:21] [SPEAKER_07]: It's got to be asking important questions like just because it's at the black person in it.
[00:46:24] [SPEAKER_07]: This is make this a black film.
[00:46:26] [SPEAKER_07]: We talked about that a little bit with rebel rage.
[00:46:28] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm not a black movie.
[00:46:30] [SPEAKER_07]: Just a little black person in it.
[00:46:32] [SPEAKER_07]: And so I love it.
[00:46:34] [SPEAKER_07]: It's open up my mind.
[00:46:35] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm a little scared.
[00:46:35] [SPEAKER_07]: But also giving me a lot of like context for where you know where we came from and the different areas that black people have been in when it comes to modern media.
[00:46:46] [SPEAKER_07]: And so I loved how we have like Omar Eps and some of these stars of the 90s really talking about how we like shifted we shifted over to.
[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Art that was more indicative of like the stories that Black folks wanted to tell.
[00:47:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Like that are way different than black's rotation, but also kind of felt like really authentic right where we talked about the LA riots and then you know the media boom that leads to boys in the hood like taking off and just being this phenomenon.
[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_07]: And then the time to this is kind of like this feels like the asylum that raised me right like these other films that I feel like led me to wanted to do this forever talk about black movies.
[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah same it really.
[00:47:33] [SPEAKER_05]: I enjoyed parts one and two a lot because you can't really truly live in the present unless you understand the past but part three and four I think.
[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_05]: I enjoyed even more just because I have more of a reference for what was going on in the world and then also on my life when all of those movies came out.
[00:47:55] [SPEAKER_05]: So yeah, I just I really enjoyed it and I enjoyed that you know the likening of the 90s to the black exploitation era again.
[00:48:05] [SPEAKER_05]: It's interesting to see like the cycles that continue to take place in filmmaking and how you know you always end up coming back to black and then.
[00:48:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, um, refugee Hudland was saying that Black film comes in 20 years cycles, you know each wave gets bigger and better and then more global.
[00:48:25] [SPEAKER_07]: And then he was saying like you know, but why is that the case? Why is this cyclical the entire time? Why has it happened every 20 years or so we do another like revamp. Why can't this be consistent.
[00:48:37] [SPEAKER_07]: And you know some of the people that decided in these conversations are like those Spike Lee and John Singleton moments right, but then if you look 20 years later after that you got Tyler Perry doing the Medea thing and making his own path there.
[00:48:52] [SPEAKER_07]: Mar, our relationship with Tyler Perry is very complicated like people I would probably say.
[00:48:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean. That's understand are relationship with that.
[00:49:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I say as a very pecking, I would say like I say I know.
[00:49:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Like, lay your the conversation.
[00:49:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, for sure.
[00:49:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree. I I loved episode three where where it's like focusing on the 90s and the upcoming of Black Medea and Black are in it really makes you feel like that was the boom of our media and we get to the part where we're talking about to either Perry.
[00:49:30] [SPEAKER_02]: It again, it everything we say about a mixture is like okay maybe some of the stuff that he makes is not for me but we understand his importance in the world in society in Black Hollywood in.
[00:49:48] [SPEAKER_02]: In an effective like they I love how they talked about Tyler Perry studios and how he bought Tyler Perry studios and how.
[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_02]: He's hiring all these black actors that might like get a chance, you know.
[00:50:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Tyler Perry it like a very complicated but at the end of the day he is he is opening doors for other people like like that is what you can definitely say now we wish he would open some doors to some writers but.
[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_02]: But he's also just he's opening doors and I love that like like they showed his first his first play I know I've been changed I went and saw that like nine like I was like.
[00:50:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I know it's important it's not that we don't like what he does it's just like you don't.
[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Just wish he would just get a set of eyes.
[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, you have to appreciate somebody who goes and owns every part of their production right I yeah Tyler Perry happy.
[00:51:09] [SPEAKER_07]: You know like he's out here making what he telling the story he wants to tell that he knows his audience wants to hear and he's telling them the way that he does it and they can appreciate it if people didn't appreciate it Tyler Perry would make no money.
[00:51:19] [SPEAKER_07]: Because I can't see why folks are not watching Tyler Perry stuff like that I remember robin I had an episode of Nathabenefli's where we brought in AJ Norris as our guest to talk about medias.
[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm a colleague of the homecoming yes and it was utterly ridiculous but the most fun was seeing Rob really come in the terms with whom a d is because it's like he had an idea.
[00:51:39] [SPEAKER_07]: But he did not know this was a gun told a Bible to stuff in grandma you know it was going on we you know it was like that wasn't something that was Rob was ruined now is that a story Rob needs to be familiar with that's a question for another time.
[00:51:52] [SPEAKER_07]: But it's like Tyler Perry goes he's been somebody was going like it and he's making his money is getting his bad from Netflix but it is a far cry away from those early days where you know that folks start making their own movies for us by us telling these stories that authentically like the stories that the directors wanted to tell because it was what they saw.
[00:52:11] [SPEAKER_07]: It was new jack city, municipality things that were happening around them they were telling the stories about and it was cheap to make these movies.
[00:52:21] [SPEAKER_07]: But now you know we are at an age where Tyler Perry is able to say okay maybe these are the stories that you've ever seen before people are still going to appreciate them and so we've come so far but I think in the middle somewhere black folks really became a sub genre of media let's on you.
[00:52:39] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it just goes along with the complicated and awful times history of the United States like everything is a microcosm of what this country is and that includes the entertainment industry and you know if.
[00:53:01] [SPEAKER_05]: It sucks but it's just a like a way of life that in the entertainment industry like the majority of people who are actually in charge and can green light stuff are not blind.
[00:53:14] [SPEAKER_05]: And so they only want to look at the bottom line and if they think that.
[00:53:21] [SPEAKER_05]: And so I think that's a black audience might show up for something and they'll be willing to take the risk once to see if it works right.
[00:53:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Which is really like one of the many failures of the studio system which I don't think has ever truly ended.
[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I love that they highlight Friday in this.
[00:53:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Dr. series because Friday is a movie that really isn't about any fantastical outrageous moment.
[00:53:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Friday doesn't have like this underlying narrative that they're trying to push there's no like very special moment in Friday you know you have the such scenes.
[00:53:59] [SPEAKER_07]: But this is not a movie that was made to tell a moral victory or story about something like this was a movie just about some normal as stuff that happens in the hood sometimes.
[00:54:09] [SPEAKER_07]: A guy gets fired from his job has a fight with a bully you know people getting robbed a little bit nothing crazy no super villains.
[00:54:16] [SPEAKER_07]: No white savior coming in just a story about existing and what that looked like for this particular character group and I think that's something that we got to appreciate in comparison to some of the other movies that we've gotten where it's like.
[00:54:30] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, we have to use this black person's identity to further the plot in any kind of way or to tell a deeper story or to try to sell you something.
[00:54:39] [SPEAKER_07]: This was just Friday which is people being people married and it's great to that it's one of the most iconic I would say movies from this sub genre that we've ever seen.
[00:54:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I loved how they talked about how you go from boys in the hood to minutes into society.
[00:54:55] [SPEAKER_02]: The minutes to society to then Friday like the as many stories when you stop thinking about as many stories that Friday managed to tell in a movie while still being comprehensive while still having an overall plot live while also still being funny.
[00:55:13] [SPEAKER_02]: It's it's amazing you know I'm saying and.
[00:55:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And we just love that that they were given the opportunity to put this movie on at that moment like it sucks that.
[00:55:27] [SPEAKER_02]: The studio system like you said we have to rely on them giving us those opportunities but it's like that's what you had to do and once you got the opportunity they made the most out of it Friday is such oh my god so I.
[00:55:41] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I'm still quoting it today and don't even realize they're calling it today that my Felicia by Felicia that gets under my skin like nothing.
[00:55:49] [SPEAKER_07]: I realized why folks didn't know what that meant stop saying stop saying I'm saying it oh my god they got a wife folks call them so I'm Felicia by you know like what is.
[00:55:59] [SPEAKER_07]: And I know it's a crack at stop you know like so it's kind of like okay I love that it is transcendent you know in that way.
[00:56:06] [SPEAKER_07]: The same time it's like a lot of those movies weren't given the chance to shine like that prior because there was no space for it and now that becomes a space for it and then it becomes all these copycat versions of that you know where these white studios are putting money behind.
[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_07]: A little bit of like foolishness you know and saying like no the black story you know every movie is not going to be Friday summer going to be I got to hook up you know.
[00:56:31] [SPEAKER_07]: I like that got to come up.
[00:56:33] [SPEAKER_07]: I like that got to come up by the way, oh another population that really is underrepresented of course.
[00:56:41] [SPEAKER_07]: Black women in film they really make time in the series to talk about black women filmmakers and I think the quote that I remember picking up was like.
[00:56:51] [SPEAKER_07]: A few of his greatest challenges in those who dare to direct while black and female.
[00:56:55] [SPEAKER_07]: So I was very happy to kind of learn about some of these movies that I've never heard about just another girl on the I RT.
[00:57:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I've never seen that let's all hear you for me with that.
[00:57:07] [SPEAKER_05]: I remember when that movie came out but it was like impossible to find so I've never seen it.
[00:57:14] [SPEAKER_05]: I've just only heard really good things about it but it like when they were talking about the movie and just like.
[00:57:23] [SPEAKER_05]: And say how many stories about pregnant black women do you see I'm sorry thinking like wow that is a really good question.
[00:57:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you know the answer is barely any.
[00:57:35] [SPEAKER_05]: And and that's but that's just so true of everything in black culture and I feel like right now is another one of those times like in the cycles where.
[00:57:47] [SPEAKER_05]: Like black artists black films aren't getting any respect from Hollywood they're making like you know the 90s were kind of like a boon time like the era of black film and now everybody has pulled back from it and it's something that you have to seek out because it's so few of.
[00:58:04] [SPEAKER_05]: And it's a part between.
[00:58:07] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I hadn't even thought about it until they said it you know like have you ever had a story about a pregnant black woman and this wasn't like a story like like a like a like a oppression or you know struggle like in a way that.
[00:58:21] [SPEAKER_07]: And it's a lot of pressure it's might have been right like that's the story about a pregnant black woman but she had a lot a lot other like.
[00:58:26] [SPEAKER_07]: She had bigger problems to be pregnant like that was like the least of her worries you know she had a lot of stuff going on this was not that and the few clips that I saw may be want to watch it you know I was like dang I wish there was a way I could find this.
[00:58:40] [SPEAKER_07]: And then I like that movie they highlight with each by you as well as another movie that's telling the story that's probably less told more often than not and then like I mean each by using a great example because I can't remember.
[00:58:54] [SPEAKER_07]: The next.
[00:58:54] [SPEAKER_07]: He's by you like you've got to stand out to me as one of those movies that doesn't really fit a mold of telling the story that we get a lot of times mark.
[00:59:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it doesn't it doesn't it's like hard troops you know that you know.
[00:59:09] [SPEAKER_02]: You don't see put on on screen that often.
[00:59:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I like hearing about what you was Julie dashed.
[00:59:20] [SPEAKER_02]: The daughters of the dust never heard of that.
[00:59:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I love the love the imagery from that.
[00:59:28] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, especially because the imagery I know y'all have appreciated Beyonce apparently just say yeah you'd a last day image you know.
[00:59:35] [SPEAKER_05]: It's just when I never seen that movie or heard of that movie either but then when I saw the imagery from it I immediately thought of.
[00:59:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Beyonce.
[00:59:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I remember that.
[00:59:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah, yeah and so I just think that.
[00:59:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I really wish that there was more of an effort being put in like in every city to preserving black films.
[01:00:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and black media because independent one is especially independent media.
[01:00:07] [SPEAKER_05]: I feel like you know we're kind of blessed like being in like maybe in a place like Chicago there like actual societies that are dedicated to preserve a black film.
[01:00:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I know this happens in like LA and stuff too and DC is like where all the museums are but you kind of have to go to a hub in order for that to happen.
[01:00:26] [SPEAKER_05]: And that just means that you can't see yourself on screen or see your history on screen and the same way that Eva do very day was talking about having to take the bus from where she lived to the multiplex and still not being able to see a movie like love and basketball there, which was like I'm not in the movie at all.
[01:00:49] [SPEAKER_07]: Right, it's just this wild.
[01:00:51] [SPEAKER_07]: They talked about the watermelon woman as well a movie about from was a Cheryl D'Anie talking about the story of black lesbians and she's like nobody was working or helping with her and she had to really build a community to donate their resources to make and be able to allow her to tell this story about a black queer woman, you know.
[01:01:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Again, a movie I've never heard about so I love this series takes the time to highlight those films and kind of put a spotlight on okay these are stories that need to be told.
[01:01:25] [SPEAKER_07]: And then also goes on to highlight some of the stories and the moments that we do know and that we hold on to that we've been exposed to a lot more like love Jones like how Stella got our crew back and like the bodyguard.
[01:01:38] [SPEAKER_07]: I feel like like to buy the car wasn't really my demographic of movie so I've seen it, but I'm not really connected to it.
[01:01:45] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry are you a big like fan of the bodyguard because I can remember the soundtrack mostly.
[01:01:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the soundtrack I saw it I saw the bodyguard but you know a witty Houston and what's the face, oh, no that's all that's.
[01:02:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And then the story is what it could direct the waiting to herself.
[01:02:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, I know.
[01:02:23] [SPEAKER_07]: What no clue.
[01:02:25] [SPEAKER_07]: What is it could produce the soundtrack which you're talking about a car soundtrack.
[01:02:30] [SPEAKER_07]: That's all I was talking about.
[01:02:31] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh yeah, good.
[01:02:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Waiting to excel soundtrack is the greatest movie soundtrack of all time I've set it on this program before I know should probably not be counted with.
[01:02:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Well, with either loving basketball or soulful with both of those would be top the top three I would probably say love in basketball makes a big push for it.
[01:02:49] [SPEAKER_02]: So I will tell you that waiting to excel is the number one soundtrack movie soundtrack.
[01:02:55] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I hear you are a point in your favor.
[01:02:57] [SPEAKER_07]: I did not know that all those songs were original songs that's pretty cool for so I think I didn't know that I.
[01:03:05] [SPEAKER_02]: For us, what if we talk about how every song was like handcrafted if you would that member I told you I went back and I watched the movie.
[01:03:13] [SPEAKER_02]: In preparation for our brackets and stuff like that in our count our top five literally those songs are woven into that movie you could.
[01:03:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's woven into that movie.
[01:03:26] [SPEAKER_02]: So I was not shocked.
[01:03:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I was not surprised and that movie was so good.
[01:03:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And I loved how they talked about how iconic it was and all the iconic moments from that from that movie and just showing how art how like movies and the art of music can make something so amazing you know.
[01:03:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[01:03:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Let's all listen to me.
[01:03:50] [SPEAKER_07]: Okay, hear me out.
[01:03:52] [SPEAKER_07]: Full of me by Michelle and did you tell us.
[01:03:54] [SPEAKER_07]: So this is the Bible.
[01:03:56] [SPEAKER_07]: That's tonight Lucy Pearl.
[01:03:57] [SPEAKER_07]: I like my God loving happiness out green.
[01:04:00] [SPEAKER_07]: I want to be your man Zach and Roger it takes two wild bass and DJ easy rock sweet thing.
[01:04:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Shock a con love and basketball clears.
[01:04:07] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm just saying that's a soundtrack.
[01:04:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay, okay.
[01:04:13] [SPEAKER_05]: That's a lot of stuff.
[01:04:15] [SPEAKER_05]: And you know, I'm not crying.
[01:04:20] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, I'm crying.
[01:04:21] [SPEAKER_05]: You're thinking you.
[01:04:22] [SPEAKER_05]: This is how it works.
[01:04:25] [SPEAKER_05]: It hurts like hell.
[01:04:26] [SPEAKER_05]: A real Franklin is on the soundtrack.
[01:04:28] [SPEAKER_05]: What are you talking about?
[01:04:30] [SPEAKER_07]: I've got some.
[01:04:31] [SPEAKER_07]: And hold that.
[01:04:31] [SPEAKER_07]: You're saying he's done.
[01:04:32] [SPEAKER_07]: You know what I'm saying?
[01:04:33] [SPEAKER_07]: Like listen.
[01:04:35] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm just saying.
[01:04:36] [SPEAKER_07]: I agree that these sounds are both iconic but I feel like people don't be given to respect to Marius favor movie.
[01:04:42] [SPEAKER_07]: I love basketball.
[01:04:45] [SPEAKER_02]: This honestly watching this may be also respect love and basketball a little bit more.
[01:04:50] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, when yeah, what you say.
[01:04:55] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a positive thing.
[01:04:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, the president said we need to respect love and basketball.
[01:05:00] [SPEAKER_06]: I know.
[01:05:01] [SPEAKER_01]: No, she got no.
[01:05:03] [SPEAKER_02]: She got I was like, how dare you?
[01:05:05] [SPEAKER_02]: First off.
[01:05:08] [SPEAKER_02]: But no, it's not it was mostly talking to.
[01:05:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Gina, lifewood?
[01:05:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I want to make sure.
[01:05:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, friend's lifewood.
[01:05:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, Gina, and lifewood who talks about like, you know, the movies actually from Montica's point of view.
[01:05:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[01:05:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And you know when you when she said it like that, I was like,
[01:05:30] [SPEAKER_02]: but I mean, like that honestly made me take a pause for a minute.
[01:05:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It's actually think about that because I don't know if I ever realize that even though it makes sense once she said it.
[01:05:40] [SPEAKER_02]: So now I kind of want to go back and watch it and look at it from that point of view, but
[01:05:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't like the overarching theme of the movie, but I think I get it. I love that. I love the story
[01:05:56] [SPEAKER_02]: of just a coming of age story. You know, a black coming of age story on the TV screen.
[01:06:04] [SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't that traumatic. You know, I'm saying like it was just normal teenager teenage bullshit.
[01:06:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Like young adult bullshit, you know? And so I honestly really, this really made me appreciate.
[01:06:19] [SPEAKER_02]: This made me appreciate black film so much. It truly did. Like movies that I was like,
[01:06:25] [SPEAKER_02]: that you sometimes you kind of roll your eyes at. I was like, you know, right. This is,
[01:06:30] [SPEAKER_02]: it makes you realize everything has its place. Everything is here for like a greater purpose
[01:06:36] [SPEAKER_02]: and not just entertainment. I mean, you know what I'm saying? It made me think of like
[01:06:42] [SPEAKER_02]: being a greater importance and not just like, okay, I don't like, I don't like to watch slave movies.
[01:06:49] [SPEAKER_02]: But you know, 12 years of life is like, it's not like that. So yeah, it's just,
[01:06:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I love this. This is just really these last, let's part four and part three, like Le'tine said.
[01:07:02] [SPEAKER_02]: These are like contemporary stuff that we watch as kids and slash are now currently the time
[01:07:07] [SPEAKER_02]: we are currently living in. And it's the, the derth of appreciation for a lot of these directors
[01:07:14] [SPEAKER_02]: that we're sitting here talking to us. I just, I like it so much. Honestly. So full brown sugar,
[01:07:22] [SPEAKER_07]: poetic justice, the best man, rush hour, the wood and then the hurricane. So many movies from
[01:07:27] [SPEAKER_07]: that era that led us to kind of like where we are today and gave us so many of the big names.
[01:07:33] [SPEAKER_07]: So we talked about, I mean, we talk about how Denzel Washington is basically birthed from, you know,
[01:07:39] [SPEAKER_07]: the essence of Sydney, Portie, right? And how he becomes like the black leading man, you know,
[01:07:45] [SPEAKER_07]: like there have been so many a list celebrity and Hollywood for white folks. But Denzel Washington
[01:07:50] [SPEAKER_07]: is like, was like, we gotta put up one of our representatives, you know, from House Black,
[01:07:55] [SPEAKER_07]: you push him Denzel to the front and we're doing that right right alongside our girl with her
[01:07:59] [SPEAKER_07]: distress weeks, Halle Berry. Oh, yeah. Let's talk about it. Halle Berry was a legend. Wow, she was like in
[01:08:08] [SPEAKER_07]: her heyday. She was like a walking living legend as she was working now. It feels like she's so much
[01:08:13] [SPEAKER_07]: more like like like a like a like a like nobley, you know, like it's like, it was like, again,
[01:08:19] [SPEAKER_07]: approachable, right? Like it was like, because the Twitter, it's like, it's like she's taking her
[01:08:22] [SPEAKER_07]: feet off the gas a little bit because in the 2000s, like the early 2000s, the early 1990s,
[01:08:29] [SPEAKER_07]: had a period was that girl. She was everything. In every role they said she was the what the
[01:08:34] [SPEAKER_05]: avatar of Black female sexuality. I mean, just the most beautiful person, like when she's on
[01:08:47] [SPEAKER_05]: screen, you can't take your eyes off of her. Like I just remember watching her in the Dorothy,
[01:08:56] [SPEAKER_05]: Dandris story. Oh, yeah. I think introducing Dorothy Dandris. I'm one of my favorite movies
[01:09:02] [SPEAKER_05]: of all time. That movie was on repeat in our house. That movie, the waiting to his
[01:09:09] [SPEAKER_05]: hails soundtrack, like those are just those are like the soundtrack of my life, basically,
[01:09:14] [SPEAKER_05]: living with my family. And so just to see her get the recognition from that, and then go on
[01:09:23] [SPEAKER_05]: and have having monsters ball be the movie that she wanted to catamera award for. I didn't really,
[01:09:31] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know how I feel about it. Not because of her performance, but because of the way it's written
[01:09:38] [SPEAKER_05]: and what it's about. That movie is ridiculous. It's hard watch. There are a lot of movies they
[01:09:49] [SPEAKER_05]: talked about on this in these episodes that I was just like, I saw that movie one time. And I was
[01:10:01] [SPEAKER_05]: when they brought up fruit bail. I was like, no, I'm sorry. I'll never know that.
[01:10:09] [SPEAKER_07]: I'll never know what that movie looks like. I've seen the commercials and that's it. It's not for
[01:10:13] [SPEAKER_07]: me. That's not my bag. Sorry. I told y'all to my horror. That's it. I don't need that.
[01:10:18] [SPEAKER_07]: And so yeah, totally understand. My sister's ball was with the 2002 Oscars. And I remember that
[01:10:25] [SPEAKER_07]: because that was the first year I was tapped into the Oscars. Like that is the, like I can remember
[01:10:30] [SPEAKER_07]: being like older enough to say, I really appreciate what's going on here at these awards.
[01:10:35] [SPEAKER_07]: And I'm going to watch it and this momentous thing is going to happen with Denzel,
[01:10:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Washington and Holly Barry going on and winning those Oscars for best actor and actress,
[01:10:43] [SPEAKER_07]: which is incredible because then we have years later the 80 second, I mean the 87th Academy Awards
[01:10:49] [SPEAKER_07]: moment where everybody all of that folks get snubbed. And I get silver was nominated for Best
[01:10:57] [SPEAKER_07]: and the Oscars were so white at that point, Marry. I remember the Oscars so white. I mean
[01:11:04] [SPEAKER_02]: goosebumps. Like a lot of us who look like we were chronically online at this point.
[01:11:11] [SPEAKER_02]: So 2015 and 2016 Oscar so white they really generated in the conscious of like
[01:11:18] [SPEAKER_02]: to me at this point. It was like, well, they're like, why are we trying to
[01:11:25] [SPEAKER_02]: like, like, boy, have the boy cut the Oscars? Why are we trying to appease
[01:11:29] [SPEAKER_02]: do all of this for the white days for white appreciation or white acceptance? You know what I'm saying?
[01:11:36] [SPEAKER_02]: There were too many, there were there were good black movies out that they just would not
[01:11:41] [SPEAKER_02]: recognize. You know and yeah, I do love that it led to a lot more people being asked and joined the
[01:11:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Academy, you know things being more diverse but I think wasn't there just wasn't it just like two
[01:11:54] [SPEAKER_02]: years ago we got it again like it happened again or something like that. Yeah, the time was not
[01:11:58] [SPEAKER_05]: so happening. Yeah, it's just never not happening at the time. Exactly. Yeah, it's like you
[01:12:05] [SPEAKER_02]: can't tell me that there isn't like a black movie out there that's not good. Yeah, same like
[01:12:11] [SPEAKER_05]: like one one two year like it. Yeah, it's the point to the point where when black people
[01:12:17] [SPEAKER_05]: and Oscars they're shocked. They want to Oscar and I mean, I know we're talking about this
[01:12:24] [SPEAKER_05]: because of Denzel and because of Halle Berry but Halle Berry is still the only black woman who
[01:12:31] [SPEAKER_05]: is everyone, a best actress like every one else who was one and Oscar has been supporting. Yeah,
[01:12:41] [SPEAKER_05]: and like costume design or like you know we got the writing a screenwriting award for
[01:12:47] [SPEAKER_05]: core Jefferson and the last Oscars. Oh, yeah, for American fiction for American fiction but no other black
[01:12:53] [SPEAKER_02]: women. Yeah and also not what you haven't even talked about how like kind of like the curse of
[01:12:59] [SPEAKER_02]: winning the Oscar too because Halle Berry after she won it was almost like she couldn't get a good role
[01:13:08] [SPEAKER_02]: like it. You know I'm saying like um it's saying with like Monique talks about being black
[01:13:14] [SPEAKER_02]: lord, I gave a Spencer has kind of I have a nine level. Yeah, gosh you know she
[01:13:22] [SPEAKER_05]: the only thing about Octavia is that she produces pretty much everything now and the she does.
[01:13:29] [SPEAKER_05]: So like that allows her to take on projects that she only want like is like really interested in
[01:13:34] [SPEAKER_05]: but um other than like when she since she's what her Oscar it's been way more mainstream and then she
[01:13:43] [SPEAKER_05]: produced a terrible movie that won Best Picture. The the Green Book.
[01:13:53] [SPEAKER_02]: The Green Book. Yeah, oh my god yeah because so that means heaven figures
[01:13:59] [SPEAKER_02]: was haven't been figured is nominated for the Oscar because that was in 2016 so no yeah
[01:14:04] [SPEAKER_07]: fences was at same year I believe they were fences was nominated. Yeah, physics okay
[01:14:12] [SPEAKER_02]: these hidden figures and fences was the 2017 Oscars. They did get nominated.
[01:14:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Man I love hidden figures. I love it. Yeah, yeah,
[01:14:25] [SPEAKER_07]: yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, let's say um I think you you're all of over correct and I think that
[01:14:36] [SPEAKER_07]: it's it's weird to me that we have this odd relationship with award shelves in general right
[01:14:41] [SPEAKER_07]: because we know that white people do not dictate black worth or success however if we're not getting
[01:14:47] [SPEAKER_07]: the worth or success is like who's writing our names in the history books you know these stories are
[01:14:51] [SPEAKER_07]: not being told by us a lot of times so you need them to get recognized for the things that they do
[01:14:55] [SPEAKER_07]: because what will happen is we'll make a bunch of good stuff then nobody ever sees or talks about
[01:14:59] [SPEAKER_07]: because everybody's talking about lackless or stuff and then as time looks of the zone
[01:15:03] [SPEAKER_07]: we will be making documentaries like this what we're saying hey I've never saw you know the girl
[01:15:08] [SPEAKER_07]: of the IRT you know like what does that it then look so good what was that you know instead of
[01:15:12] [SPEAKER_07]: being able to be in the moment and under those movies when they've earned it one of the highlights
[01:15:17] [SPEAKER_07]: of this darkest series was talking about moonlight of course uh which I think really highlights that right
[01:15:23] [SPEAKER_07]: like moonlight and incredible movie a black queer movie and getting to the point where people were like
[01:15:30] [SPEAKER_07]: again again you know when moonlight won because we were all under the impression that yep they stole another
[01:15:37] [SPEAKER_07]: one from moonlight imagine that moonlight getting snobbed here at the Oscars only to uh for it to happen
[01:15:43] [SPEAKER_07]: as a mistake but you see like the the side or like the exhale that everybody did in unison right
[01:15:49] [SPEAKER_07]: like that the shoot movement where you're like okay all right it wasn't my not land we got one you
[01:15:56] [SPEAKER_05]: know and that's that's how I remember one but but ruined yeah ruined historic and fantastic win
[01:16:05] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah I don't know what was going on with uh body and Clyde that night
[01:16:11] [SPEAKER_07]: why they decided that they grabbed the wrong envelope the hat the wrong answer in the card
[01:16:18] [SPEAKER_07]: or they had both of them in the car and the same car and something like that it was something to
[01:16:23] [SPEAKER_02]: that if it was like they grabbed the wrong envelope and it wasn't it was a different it was like
[01:16:35] [SPEAKER_05]: weird weird it was really weird and then like you know the aftermath of it like when people
[01:16:41] [SPEAKER_05]: were when the people from moonlight were realized and what was going on and getting ready to go up
[01:16:46] [SPEAKER_05]: to the stage they talked about in the documentary I would love to see see one yeah everybody's reaction
[01:16:52] [SPEAKER_05]: was from moonlight to that moment but instead it stayed focused on the white people on the stage
[01:16:58] [SPEAKER_05]: and like the guy from law and being like this is not a joke like this was a mistake there's been
[01:17:04] [SPEAKER_02]: a mistake right like weird that's it was so weird yeah but now we're to the point where you
[01:17:13] [SPEAKER_07]: see a lot a lot more like writers and directors and stars of films saying I don't want to wait
[01:17:21] [SPEAKER_07]: for white folks approval to showcase our black lives and so we see people like Jordan Peel making
[01:17:27] [SPEAKER_07]: horror movies and even like superhero movies like the black Panther the black Panther I will say with
[01:17:34] [SPEAKER_07]: my whole entire chest change my life I remember watching that movie the first time I was so excited
[01:17:38] [SPEAKER_07]: for it to come out I was so excited because I'm a superhero boy that's where I used to do the
[01:17:42] [SPEAKER_07]: back in the day I read the comics I was ready as if this is it's time okay we get it to child
[01:17:47] [SPEAKER_07]: up I love the casting which had week and then to go and watch it and then to experience
[01:17:53] [SPEAKER_07]: everybody else watching the black Panther as well right like black folks everywhere just going
[01:17:58] [SPEAKER_07]: up the school the school's letting the kids go on field trips to watch this and to really celebrate
[01:18:04] [SPEAKER_07]: being black but also Africa in general you know and like in such a positive light it was just like
[01:18:09] [SPEAKER_07]: the best thing that ever happened I've probably seen that movie more times than I can count
[01:18:15] [SPEAKER_07]: I've seen that movie probably is me the time's about seeing like a Friday or something like that
[01:18:18] [SPEAKER_07]: it's been around for way less time you know because it was just something that I really
[01:18:22] [SPEAKER_07]: last night to and say right google you're genius you know why were you able to deliver this to me
[01:18:28] [SPEAKER_07]: and then seeing again using these critically acclaimed actors Angela Bassett for it's with
[01:18:36] [SPEAKER_07]: these names we've been mentioned in this whole time or in this very film you know it's so
[01:18:42] [SPEAKER_07]: so good it was so good I love seeing that I love seeing them talk about the woman king
[01:18:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I actually haven't got to ask the watch is still good yeah I had to be at the point
[01:18:52] [SPEAKER_05]: it was really good I mean I feel like jina prince life would doesn't really miss
[01:19:00] [SPEAKER_02]: right her doing when we think I didn't know she did I for I didn't realize she did it and it was
[01:19:06] [SPEAKER_02]: that was such a great movie I honestly kind of makes me so watching this this ladder portion
[01:19:14] [SPEAKER_02]: really made me think about how like almost like counter propaganda my causes to not
[01:19:25] [SPEAKER_02]: support our own because the woman king I that that was one of the movies we did go like at this
[01:19:33] [SPEAKER_02]: point in my life would I have two kids it's so hard to get to the movie theaters and I remember
[01:19:39] [SPEAKER_02]: going like going and seeing the woman king the woman king is probably one of the the movies that I've
[01:19:44] [SPEAKER_02]: wanted the only adult movies I've seen recently like every movie that I've been to the
[01:19:48] [SPEAKER_02]: lot like the last few years have had been all kid focused and it's all kid stuff so
[01:19:53] [SPEAKER_02]: that's the only one I've seen and I just keep thinking about how like before I saw it people are like
[01:20:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't go and see it it's not historically accurate those women also sold their prisoners as slaves
[01:20:08] [SPEAKER_02]: blah blah blah blah blah and you know and it gets people like not watch it it made me think of
[01:20:14] [SPEAKER_02]: like 12 years of slave and I heard everybody's like oh we don't want to see other we don't want
[01:20:18] [SPEAKER_02]: to see slave movies but then when they talk about it on here out this is a slave movie that's written
[01:20:23] [SPEAKER_02]: by a black person directed by a black person you know and actually shows like it is seen as one of
[01:20:31] [SPEAKER_02]: the most like telling part of like accurate telling of slavery right and not to see it fruit veil
[01:20:38] [SPEAKER_02]: station like we talked about right kougar you know like it really makes you think like man I feel
[01:20:45] [SPEAKER_02]: like I could have been supporting these people a little bit better if I was it you know you know
[01:20:53] [SPEAKER_05]: just think I'm going to recognize something yes exactly yeah yeah and people also will review
[01:21:00] [SPEAKER_05]: bomb things yeah we're in just for no reason to do it just to do it and then you end up missing out
[01:21:08] [SPEAKER_05]: on so many like you know you end up watching it years later when it doesn't really count for
[01:21:12] [SPEAKER_05]: exact I'm saying all and you're like why did I not go see this like what you know what was going on
[01:21:18] [SPEAKER_05]: and the answer is just like everything needs reprogramming like we're just fed the same messages about
[01:21:25] [SPEAKER_05]: what is and is not a good story and who we should and should not be able to relate to and
[01:21:33] [SPEAKER_05]: like some reprogramming needs to happen in order for us to change yeah big agreed maria's there
[01:21:40] [SPEAKER_07]: anything else from Hollywood black you wanted to highlight before we wrap up no it Hollywood black
[01:21:45] [SPEAKER_02]: is so good I get it like mgm plus might be harder to find but if you can find that please watch the
[01:21:52] [SPEAKER_02]: series I honestly think this series needs to be shown in film schools I said it before I said again
[01:21:58] [SPEAKER_02]: it's not only is it a study in black film but it's also almost like a history of black
[01:22:03] [SPEAKER_02]: culture we you know we didn't even get into how like between like the 2012 and 2016 like that type
[01:22:10] [SPEAKER_02]: of the rise of like white savior movies kind of like the rise of more black stories wanting to
[01:22:18] [SPEAKER_02]: told because of Obama but then how authentic are these stories that are being told you know versus
[01:22:23] [SPEAKER_02]: the authentic ones it's just oh my god it's just such a good series honestly I if if every film
[01:22:31] [SPEAKER_02]: classes is is supposed to have like you know maimies molados books you know that that that book
[01:22:40] [SPEAKER_02]: year to all the ones I know about year supposed to have that book this should be slotted in there
[01:22:45] [SPEAKER_02]: as everybody should have a section on this and should watch this to be quite up yeah it's great
[01:22:52] [SPEAKER_05]: lotania what about you I really enjoyed this documentary a lot um and all of the just you know like
[01:23:02] [SPEAKER_05]: all of the conversations even with the filmmakers it's so rare that you get that many people
[01:23:09] [SPEAKER_05]: who are responsible for like you know the way that we see ourselves in media and one place to
[01:23:16] [SPEAKER_05]: have an interview um I just can't I can't get the face and like eyes adjusting semi and out of my
[01:23:23] [SPEAKER_05]: head when he's like staring up at the screen and all and all of these things that he's watching
[01:23:29] [SPEAKER_05]: because that's the the movie experience that we all have when we you know are excited about something
[01:23:36] [SPEAKER_05]: and go to the theaters and so I just hope that this is made available more widely to people I
[01:23:43] [SPEAKER_05]: agree with Mari that it should be taught in school and I just want there to be the opportunity for
[01:23:51] [SPEAKER_05]: more people to have opportunities to make films that reflect things in their lives because we all
[01:23:59] [SPEAKER_05]: go through something that other people could relate to but or something fantastical even that
[01:24:06] [SPEAKER_05]: people might not be able to relate to but like we we need more black stories we need more of us
[01:24:12] [SPEAKER_07]: in media uh big agree bring back the changeling how about that how about something please my
[01:24:18] [SPEAKER_07]: time watching these stories that are pretty interesting and it's national way I love how

[01:26:23] [SPEAKER_07]: I was saying it's very dark in some in some cases but also it's like it makes a point of really
