Welcome to day two of our year in review! It’s tv day, and this year we had to say goodbye to some of our favorite shows. We’re collectively upset that Blindspotting is over. Dallas is ready to fight John Starz (or whoever runs Starz). Is Bluey as good as your friends with kids say it is? Is Cassie bringing cannibalism onto our podcast again? And how did Demi stop rewatching Willow enough to watch so many shows? Find the answers […]

Happy New Year! It’s time for our annual Year In Review, and we’re starting off with our favorite movies of 2023! And despite the best efforts of technical difficulties, we got all four of us in the episode! Is Cassie beating the horror fan allegations with her list? Did Barbenheimer hit our lists like it hit the box office? And is there a chance of Across the Spider-Verse not being the unanimous number one pick? Press play and find out […]

Today’s episode is brought to you by Black Girl Magic! Literally! So it makes sense that Demi, the magic Black woman that she is, takes point on these reviews. There’s also the fact that Gaby didn’t see the movies in time, Dallas didn’t care to see them, and Cassie didn’t even show up to record. So shout out to Demi! How does Beyoncé’s tour film compare to Taylor Swift’s? Did Wish pay proper homage to Disney’s legacy? And how much […]

We’re back to reviews and we got a lot for you! Marvel Studios finally got a Black woman director, Hunger Games is back, we got a new version of Goosebumps, and the weebs have a new Scott Pilgrim! It’s been a big couple of weeks, and that’s not even including all these trailers! Have general audiences turned against Marvel? Are we willing to put our hearts on the line again for another live action Avatar adaptation? And is Dallas being […]

Happy Top 5 Tuesday! You asked for it (ages ago), and now it’s here! Our long-awaited, fan-requested Top 5 Books episode! We finally managed to wrangle Gaby long enough to get her to record this one with us. Will all her picks be romance novels? Has Demi reignited her interest in reading? And has Dallas even read a book in the last decade? Crack open this episode and find out! Thanks for listening!  Time StampsOpening – (0:00)Honorable Mentions – (3:02)#5 […]

Congratulations to SAG-AFTRA for staying strong and getting their deal! And we look forward to returning to our regularly scheduled reviews and news updates! In the meantime, though, we’re casting actors we love for something that Demi loves: The Chronicles of Prydain! For those who don’t know (probably most of us), that’s the book series that gave us The Black Cauldron. Did we add melanin to this like we do all of our fancasts? What are Welsh people trying to […]

Finally! A movie review! It certainly hasn’t been a cruel summer for Taylor Swift, so we’re going to speak now about how enchanted we are by The Eras Tour concert film. We know all too well Taylor’s reputation and style, so pull on your cardigan and meet us at midnight to discuss a concert straight out of our wildest dream. Thanks for listening!

Previously on the Creative Differences Podcast…Demi said she wanted a movie adaptation of Def Jam Vendetta, and this unlocked a core memory in Dallas, leading him to immediately adding that to our list of things to fancast. And here we are, fancasting Def Jam Vendetta in the 20th year since its release! Who has the acting talent and the hands to play D-Mob? Which white boys are hood adjacent enough to play Manny? And who knew these characters actually had […]

With the studios STILL refusing to pay writers and actors fairly, we’re talking about video games today! That’s right gamers, this one’s for y’all! Could a studio round up enough rappers to make a Def Jam Vendetta movie work (and actually pay them)? Would Bioshock’s Big Daddies look good in live action? And WHAT is Fur Fighters? Listen to our new episode to find our answers to these questions and more! Thanks for listening! Time StampsOpening – 0:00Honorable Mentions – […]

We are BACK! The hiatus is over, and we have reopened your one-stop shop for movie reviews, throwback Thursdays, Fancast Fridays, and a number of other pop culture-related items! And speaking of those other items, we’ve got a Top 5 Tuesday today! Will the strike lead us to doing more than one Top 5 Tuesday per year? Will Colin stick to his robot affinity and pick Ex Machina? And how much of this episode will just be us gushing over […]
