Queen Charlotte (Netflix) wore her afro loudly and proudly, so that little girls everywhere can be proud of their natural hair as well. And Jobina can never say that she wasn't given anything! This show was for her, and she was more than happy to discuss it. And of course we took our usual-unusual tangents, discussing everything from colorism, arranged marriage, and the royal family to how good of a gift giver Jobina is... if you are under 10 years old and were once in her belly.

If you enjoy the show, tell all your friends about it. :) Peace and love!

We just couldn't leave Beef alone. We reveiwed the first/pilot episode in our normal format, but we wanted to come back and discuss the whole series because it touched on so many interesting thoughts and ideas.

One of the things we discuss is the intentionality of every detail of the show, including the episode titles. Each title is a snippet from a quote by a historical figure, often a philosopher. Google each episode title to find the full quote, and spend a little time with it to gain a new perspective on the contents of the episode.

This is a really good show. No, wait. Yes, our show is also good, but I'm talking about Beef on Netflix. Check out our commentary on the first episode, which includes two hilarious interactions we've had with contractors. Also, please seek mental health counseling if you are considering peeing on someone's bathroom floor, unless they've specifically asked for such a service.

Enjoy!

Seeking Brother Husband (TLC) is about throuples (couples but with three people) with one woman and two men, often looking to add another man to the relationship. This is reality TV at its finest, and we have plenty to say about it.

What we love about this episode: we talk about how parents often struggle to accept the lifestyle choices of their children, even though they themselves broke the mold when they were young. And Jobina shares an interesting story from her mother's youth as a civil rights activist.

This Netflix show tried to show the good and bad of the ATF, and the good and bad of a cult led by a 33 year old man who married 12 year olds. This is a really sad tale of what happened in Waco in 1993, but of course in our discussion of this episode we take a few hilarious tangents. We talk about the age of consent, shooting a rifle (and the 2nd amendment), and that one Netflix show where small children are sent across town to complete a task.

Kindred, on Hulu, is about a young Black woman who is violently pulled back and forth in time. Correction, pulled back and forth into and out of slavery. This show is adapted from an Octavia Butler novel by the same name. We didn't know at the time of the recording, but Octavia Butler passed away in 2006. That being said, this show provided many fun things for us to talk about. From watching Soap Operas to OnlyFarmers dot com and how much you really trust yourself to give someone the Heimlich maneuver, we really go ham on this episode and we think you'll enjoy it.

I'm not gonna hold you… but this show was awful. It was probably the worst show we've discussed on our podcast. But, that didn't stop use from having a good time discussing it, and taking our usual barrage of tangents. We discussed the origin of television laugh tracks, "The Bill Cosby Show" (not "The Cosby Show"), the makers of Uno trying to tell Black people they can't do stacks, judging people by who they date, getting older, and how tired we are of the reboots. Just make new shows, please. These reboots ain't it. And laugh tracks definitely ain't it. Lastly, of course it comes up again that Jobina is significantly older than Luther.

The 1619 Project discusses a very serious topic, but our discussion of this Hulu show doesn't have to be serious at all. Yes, we talk about the parallels between getting the vote during the civil rights movement and keeping the vote in present day, but we also talk about dying our hair, the value of 1 or 2 middle names, whether or not we stand for the flag, pick-up basketball, and Jobina's love affair with the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther "the" King Junior.

If you enjoy the show, don't tell a soul. Keep it to yourself. You have my permission to be completely selfish. Just this episode, though. Next time, I'll encourage you to tell your friends and subscribe to the podcast.

Are you a parent? Were you parented? Well, this podcast episode is for you! This new ABC show puts different parenting episodes to the test, literally. It's a competition, but they never said what the winning parenting style gets, other than happy and healthy children.

This episode, we discuss Alpha Males on Netflix, which comically chronicles the lives of 4 friends adapting to a changing world regarding masculinity and its role in the workplace, family dynamics, romantic relationships, and the bedroom. It's a fun little show that manages lightly address what is otherwise a very serious conversation happening in almost every corner of the globe, it seems. We discuss the pilot episode, with a few tangents and more than a few laughs, and then reveal if we will make this series a one episode stand, or if we'll keep watching.
