Sorry To Bother You — Directed By Boots Riley and starring Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Steven Yuen and Armie Hammer, Sorry To Bother is an interesting and at times very blunt look at how capitalism intersects with race, gender and sex.

Welcome to the first episode of So Here's What Happened!

A new podcast hosted by LaNeysha & Carolyn where they get together once a month to talk about the things they've watched and read. 

It's a show where two blerdy girls (who may or may not read and watch too many things) offer brutally honest reviews and recommendations on tv shows, movies and books. Then tune in each month to listen along and to join the conversation. 

And for our first we that what better way to kick off our show than to discuss Avengers: Infinity War. We talk about what we liked, didn't like, our theories and who got dusted.

This is a SPOILER ZONE, so listen at your own risk.
