Listen Later

This episode was recorded on June 29th, 2021. We are joined again by Drea. Enjoy!

Discussed: why this movie?; initial takes; a slightly more sophisticated Tyler Perry; the music in the movie; a discussion on the history of R&B and Soul music; sexism in the movie; Whitney Houston & Denzel Washington; the passing on of music; J sings poorly; R&B and contemporary technology; ancillary benefits; youth culture; Lil Nas X; white people on an album cover; and then we entirely abandon ship on discussing the movie and enter into a discussion on cultural appropriation and us sounding old.
