The Mission pauses to say goodbye to George Foreman, which begets a candy bar runoff between Oh, Reggie and Kit Kat, which leads into a Heavy D rap verse review and more, including Six Degrees to two boxers-turned-actors, before Vincent and Len shower praise on writer-director Tayarisha Poe’s 2023 introspective romantic drama.

The Men of Micheaux are forced into a review audible, which sparks a longing for the days of physical media, including the once treasured and now expensive “music on vinyl”. Then after chatter about Heavy D, Minnie Ripperton, and the Boo-Ya Tribe (how that happen?), they see what Kasi Lemons wanted to do with The Caveman’s Valentine, but maybe Samuel L. Jackson gets in the way.

Vincent and Len mourn the loss of 1970s songstress Roberta Flack, celebrating her incredible career and iconic voice. This leads to a conversation that touches on notable figures like Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and The Big Bopper. Len lists the Five Films that he will never choose for The Mission, while Vincent connects D'Urville Martin to two actors that Len would prefer not to see in movies. The discussion then turns to a review of Bill Duke's 1997 gangster film starring Laurence Fishburne, which raises questions about its qualities.

Erika Washington from Sticky Note Conversations travels from Las Vegas to review one of the biggest hits of 2024. She assesses whether a movie musical, adapted from a Broadway version of a 1990s remix of an early 20th-century children's book classic, can be transformed into a Black film. Additionally, the review includes discussions on Dennis Haysbert in "Gone With The Wind," a career retrospective of Harold Rollins, and an exploration of Michael Jackson's age.
