Open Tabs

Tonight we react to the announcement of the nominees for the 93rd Academy Awards. And yes we wore tuxes because why wouldn't we! Tonight we have our Morehouse (2000) brother and award winning writer and director and executive director of Ghetto Film School; Chicago's own Derrick Cameron joining us to talk all things Oscars. We talk about snubs this year and snubs all time. We talk about our most memorable Oscar moments and whether the Oscars matter or not. I know we say it a lot but this is an all time great episode. It's a long one, but buckle in. Listen at 1.5 speed! Like us, rate us, review us. Tell us what snubs we missed or what movie we dissed that you feel was a classic. We want your feedback! Thanks to all of our faithful viewers and listeners. We are glad to back with another episode of #theopentabspodcast

On this episode we bring in a very special guest, one of Calvin's Med School classmates and fellow cinephiles, Dr. Geoff Jones, to talk about Quentin Tarantino's third film, 1997's Jackie Brown. This ode to blaxploitation slash minor heist meets love story (maybe) gets the deep dive it deserves. From the performances (which didn't get enough award love) to the dialogue itself to the music to the locales. We cover it all. Take a load off and hang with us as Calvin, Joe, and Geoff discuss the dynamic performance of Pam Grier, Robert Forester, Sam Jackson, and even a (too brief) Chris Tucker appearance.

Okay everyone buckle up, because this is a long one! No one is going to cover A Different World like #TheOpenTabsPodcast is going to cover A Different World, we guarantee it! Join Joe and Calvin as we discuss the show that introduced so many of us to college life. For many of us, the very reason we attended the colleges we attended. We talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of A Different World as only we do. Break it up into parts if you have to, but understand that with a show like A Different World we had to do due diligence. Rate us, like us, subscribe, tell a friend! It's a Different World from where you come from!

We've been anticipating this episode for a long long time. One of our favorite Morehouse brothers and supporters of the show from day one, Reese Hendrix the man behind the viral shirts at surlyshirts.com joins us to talk about John Singleton's 4th film, 2001's Baby Boy starring Tyrese Gibson, Taraji P Henson, Ving Rhames, and Omar Gooding. We talk about everything you think we'll talk about from Looney Tunes to Do Dirty and everything in between. Reese will definitely be back.
