Alias Smith and LeRoi

When we sat down with Leslie Jones to talk about comedy, being a big chick, and why there were no black women on SNL, she had not yet been called to audition for the show, which would ultimately end up with her being hired as a staff writer.

While she's put in work getting ready for her break, that didn't stop me from arguing with her about why a sista can't get ahead. Owen sat back and enjoyed this. It got heated. I think we both were right. Chris Rock thinks Leslie Jones is one of the funniest women in the business. You wanna know why? Punch Play.

60s MashUp...

When we sat down with Ernest Dickerson as our inaugural guest, we had no idea where the conversation would really go. Not the typical talking head, we found Ernest to be insightful, genuine, and passionate about his craft.

He's soft spoken, but engaged, he listens, he talks, and has no bad habits that we were able to drudge up. So we talk about the art of film, other actors who might've starred in the film "Juice", why it's a good idea to go to auditions with your friends, what a good actor Ice T is, and why you can't see rain on film. And a bunch of other stuff. This one is for the cinema-heads. Punch play.
