For my first episode dedicated completely to one movie, I decided to try to watch the controversial Netflix film Cuties from French Director Maïmouna Doucouré. Cold Open and Elevator Review (7 minutes). Full review (final 23 minutes.)

In this episode I had the opportunity to bring in Corey Douglass who had me on his YouTube show (The Mr. Douglass Sports Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4aJR3LeubDkD4-hQi-qxlg) a few weeks ago. We talked about his show and Luka being named to the All-NBA First team. We then got into his list of guys under the most pressure in the playoffs and how they’ve performed before discussing Rick Carlisle and the conference finals. The final 15 minutes was spent answering your questions. Enjoy!

There are no reviews this week so I took the time to announce some changes. After some thought, analysis, and studying the podcast game I’ve decided to change the format of the movie side of the podcast. I’m excited and I think you’ll appreciate the shift. I also went over the meager Covid box office numbers and tell you which movies to look out for this coming week.

Reese and I got into a lot of different things in the bonus content. We discussed KD and Lebron’s legacies with their decisions and how we don’t want that for Giannis. (15 minutes). We talked Big Ben Pistons, 2011 Mavs and then got into Stephen A Smith’s comments on Nash very briefly.

**Audio note** Throughout the convo you may notice Reese responding before I finish speaking. There appears to have been a slight delay in my audio on the recording. **end audio note** The conversation with Reese went almost an hour and a half but we cut it down. We spent a good bit of time talking about him being a Mavs and Saints fan despite being a Baltimore native and I got into my background as well. How I became a Mavs and Ravens fan. After that we got into the Mavs season, Patrick Beverly and being pleasantly surprised with the playoff showing. We then got into offseason moves. Who should stay, who should go. Who should we pursue in the offseason (Beal? Jrue? Oladipo?), then we start to get off track and I have to stop it mid-Giannis talk.

This week was all about heavily Oscar Nominated Directors Christopher Nolan and Charlie Kaufman. Their styles could not be more different and that is heavily reflected in these two movies. I get into the box office results for Tenet and the quick reviews in the cold open (7 minutes), then deliver the Tenet review (13 minutes,) and the Im thinking of ending things review (7 minutes) before closing with two movies that might be of interest for the coming week.

There were a ton of questions this week so instead of making an hour and a half long episode, I made the questions portion it’s own episode. There’s a lot of great stuff so I hope you enjoy.

In tonight’s episode I welcomed a special guest in the controversial @Kenny_817. A long time fan of the Mavs, Kenny and I go way back on Mavs twitter and our old school ways sometimes clash with the new fans. We address this, talk bigs like Drummond and Gobert, discuss the Dwight Powell situation, and then get into offseason plans like chasing Bradley Beal. Enjoy!

This week I first talked about the sudden passing of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman (10 minutes), (9 minutes) intro and Elevator Reviews for the 3 movies. (20 minutes) going deeper in talking about the movies.

It’s the first of two pods I recorded on my birthday. (That’s how dedicated I am to you, the people). We go through takeaways from these playoffs in our cold open (11 minutes), Game stats/talk (15 minutes), Questions (32 minutes)
