Jummie and Osayi take a deep dive into the new movie Malcolm and Marie on Netflix and explore themes from the movie that contribute to Malcolm and Marie’s relationship dynamic. Such themes are: 

• The potency of language in a relationship
• Ego in a relationship
• Feeling seen in a relationship
• Codependency (whether or not it’s a bad thing)
• Negative reinforcements in a relationship (there’s no need for a tit or tat)
• Triggers in a relationship
• Listening in a relationship for effective communication 

Synopsis of the Malcolm and Marie

“For who knows how long, Malcolm has worked in the film industry but hasn’t had the ability to not only make something he was proud of but get that sense of validation. With his latest film Imani, he does so. However, while the film is a great success with glowing reviews, one thing missing is Marie. Now, who is Marie? Well, she has been Malcolm’s partner for at least five years, and a lot of her story mirrors Imani. So, with that in mind, not getting a thank you when the film premiered ends up being the straw that broke the camel’s back. Thus leading to a night-long series of arguments about the film and the issues of her and Malcolm’s relationship.  “ - Amari Allah
