Bros Before Shows

OSCAR SPECIAL TIME!! This week the Tiemstra Bros. review the surprise Best Picture 2016 winner Moonlight, adapted from the unpublished "In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue". Do they merely grasp at straws for nearly 40 minutes or do they actually have something meaningful to say about this quite meaningful award winner?

This week, Matt & Rob watch and discuss their first Tyler Perry movie! Will it be a faithful adaptation of the Iconic Choreopoem, or a melodramatic mess that doesn't do its source material justice! Listen to find out! And then maybe listen to some people of color discuss this film, because we are nowhere near qualified...

Continuing Black History Month, the Tiemstra Bros. (in a surprisingly spoiler-free episode) delve into Lorraine Hansberry's 1958 Classic adapted for a 1961 screen!

Is Sydney Poitier able to do justice to the character he got a Tony nod for? Is the play really about his character, or is it about Claudia McNeil? And PIGLET?!?!

We're starting Black History Month with one of the most successful black musicals of all time - The Wiz! As you'll learn in this episode, our hosts were in this musical in high school, playing a variety of roles.

Next week, we're gonna leave some fruit outside. Namely, a Raisin in the Sun.

It's cross-dressin' time! Well, it always is, but this time it is in 1934 Paris! Join the Tiemstra Bros. as we visit this '82 exploration of Homosexuality, cross-dressing, and gender politics in a world that doesn't quite understand any of it. Does it hold up, or is it a cringefest?

"This movie should be called 'the Greatest Conman'" - Matt, minutes after finishing recording.
