Empty Opinions

I SAW TWO MOVIES THIS WEEK! That might not sound like a big deal to you, but it definitely is for me. So I reviewed those two movies. But first, you know I had to react to the new trailer for Martin McDonagh’s upcoming film The Banshees of Inisherin (Spoiler alert: it was very funny). After that, I talked about the two aforementioned movies, which were David Leitch’s latest action movie Bullet Train (8:57) and Andrew Semans’ Resurrection (17:31).

As of late I’ve been getting more creative with these descriptions, but I’m just not a good mood right now, so I’m just gonna keep it simple this time. I start this episode reacting to KAYTRANADA’s latest single Twin Flame featuring Anderson .Paak, before giving my thoughts on Beyoncé’s latest album RENAISSANCE (14:13) and the news of TikTok making their own music streaming app (25:47).

After a short hiatus, EMPTY Opinions is back! Keeping the tradition alive, my guest this episode is my good friend and communist rapper Ghais Guevara. He has a new album out called There Will Be No Super-Slave, and we break it all down. We start by talking about the meaning of the intro (2:48) and why he went so hard on the first few songs (10:49). Then, we move on to the deeper meanings of the song Face/Off (20:28), revealing more of himself on this album (35:07), and finally, we talk about what’s next for him (48:01).

Oh, you thought I was done with the new shows this week? NOPE! Welcome to EMPTY Frames, my movies and TV shows… show. To kick things off, I react to the latest trailer for the new Game of Thrones spinoff show House of the Dragon (sorry audio listeners), and then I give my non-spoiler review of Jordan Peele’s highly-anticipated new film NOPE (11:44).

"Empty Opinions" has always been the name of this podcast. However, I feel like it's about time I started doing more. So starting today, this podcast feed is now called "The EMPTY Podcast"! Now, you can expect more shows in this feed, the names of which I've yet to figure out but whatever YOU GET THE POINT. Also, check out below the new names for the social media accounts, as well as the website!

These solo episodes are good in theory but man have they been hard to make recently. I think I might just go back to having guests. That way I don’t run out of energy halfway through these episodes. This week, I start by reacting to Fivio Foreign & The Kid LAROI’s latest drill song (5:11) before I spend the rest of the episode talking about my favorite TV shows, movies and albums of 2022 so far (19:34). An EMPTY Awards preview if you will.

I did it. I’ve been wanting to do an outdoors podcast for so long, and now thanks to Zack and Fae, I finally did it! I set up a station at STAR FEST in Philly, and interviewed 10 people who just so happened to walk down that road of faith. Now THAT’s what I call destiny.

I thought I figured out a really good format for the show last week. But unfortunately my energy bar just ran out. So instead, I dove deep into three topics: Elvis Presley and Nardo Wick making a song together (0:38), Roe v. Wade getting overturned (14:30) and an entrepreneur takes advantage of the situation with “Abortions By Leisha” (32:53).

An hour-long solo episode? Didn’t think I still had that in the tank tbh. The structure for this week’s episode is slightly different. I divided it into two sections: The Deep Dive(s) and The Quick Hits. For the first section, I make my case for why the hate for Drake’s surprise new album is unjustified (3:12) and break down this year’s XXL Freshmen list (23:22). For the second section, I briefly touch on Lizzo getting backlash (47:53), Jhene Aiko & Big Sean’s upcoming baby (49:56), Steph Curry winning his fourth ring (50:45) and Joey Bada$$ lying once again (52:14).
