In this episode, I review the Netflix original, God's Favorite Idiot. Actors Melissa McCarthy and husband Ben Falcone team up for Evangelical satire but does it work? 

In this episode, I review Sandra Oh's new film, Umma available on Netflix. I also talk about the scarcity of Asian actresses in Hollywood who get these kinds of dramatic roles. 

Yet another correction. In a previous video, I talked about the book Her Country by Marissa R. Moss country trio, The Chicks. I did some research to find out where The Chicks are today. That's when I learned that they haven't stopped being the rocking, Chicks that they are.

I'm talking about the recently published book, Her Country by Marissa R. Moss, country singers: Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris. I also talk about getting Dixie'd, and Country music welcoming Black artists like Mickey Guyton and R&B icon Monica.
