DISCUSSIONS FROM THE OTHERHOOD

There are shows and films that feature or star Black characters, but only a few are iconic. Join us in the OTHERhood as we list our favorite and not-so-favorite iconic shows. What shows and films do you think are so iconic that if you haven’t seen them, it might be time to hand in that Black card?

All of us here love some form of speculative fiction. You know that genre, that show that you love that makes everything right. And then there are the shows that you would rather have your teeth pulled than watch an entire episode. Join us tonight in the OTHERhood as we take a look at the shows that someone loves or hates that gives you the best indicator of whether you'll be friend or foe.

You love Family Matters - people call you corny. You'd watch Taxi Driver one hundred times - people call you crazy. You tell your friends that you enjoy Our Kind of People - they call you Trashy! What films and shows do you enjoy? What do others think about you as a result! Join us in the OTHERhood to discuss whether people think you're Clever, Tacky or Cool?

All right, I'm using a favorite line from an old Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode (Don't Come Back Alive), but it is certainly apropos, here. How many shows will we rework, redo or revive for the sake of nostalgia, completion, artistic integrity or the bottom line? True, some reboots have been successful, but some have not. What's out there that's way past its Use-by date? And what is being dug up to reanimate in the near future? Join us in the OTHERhood where we'll discuss our favorite and not so favorite shows that simply refuse to die. Which have been dead too long to come back, now?

Closing out Black History Month with Black History you may not know about. We'll start with the Scientist involved in the Manhattan project, those involved in the Space Program and more. Join us as we bid goodbye to Black History Month 2023 and introduce you Black History you may not know about.

Have you ever bought a product or viewed a show or film and thought "Wow! That's why Don Draper makes the big bucks!" How can the advertisements for some things be so great and the products be so disappointing? Join us in the OTHERhood 6p PST/ 8p CST/ 9p ST to discuss your experience where the quality of the Branding and Marketing far exceeded the reality of what you got.

Have you ever shown up for an episode of one of your usual shows then something feels... off. Who is that person? I have no idea who that is! Have you ever watched a show and discovered that they've changed actors on you? Sometimes it's for better, and sometimes for worse. Join us tonight when we discuss the best and worst "switcheroos."

Riddle me this? Why is The Quiet Girl a foreign film (Irish language) and Parasite (Korean) for some reason was not? How does the Academy determine these things? What about other categories? How can RRR be nominated for Best Original song, but nothing else? Join us as we try to unravel the riddles of how these nominations work.

If we look we'll find dozens, maybe hundreds of films presented as a series. From James BOND TO Oceans Eleven (Twelve, Eight, Thirteen...) and almost any and everything Marvel or DC, do we really need more? Join us tonight 6p PST/ 8p CST and 9p EST to determine how much of a good thing is too much, and what series of films do you believe has the potential to regale us ad infinitum.

What does a genius look like? How many films and TV shows have we seen that show us a person who is described as a genius? What does this genius look like? Why are some people labeled as talented or clever but not characterized as genius while others are draped with the mantler? Join us tonight in the OTHERhood at 6p PST/ 8p CST/ 9p EST when we discuss how Hollywood shapes what we consider "genius."
