Happy New Year! Welcome to 2022, we are starting the new year by discussing one of NBC's most watched series, "This is Us."

It captured our attention from the moment it aired as we tried to figure out how all of these people share a birthday to us all trying to figure out how Jack died and each having a favorite Pearson. Kamille and Valencia join the show ahead of the final season as we look back on the series.

We're back for the final episode of 2021.   This week Racquel and Ashley return to the show to discuss the #InsecureHBO series finale. I think we each had different thoughts on the ending but you have to listen to find out more. We also see if our predictions came true.   Plus, to end the year we discuss our Top 5 favorite TV shows of 2021.   Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.

Ashley and Racquel return to the show to discuss Issa Rae produced, 'Sweet Life: LA.' The show follows a group of Black 20-somethings looking at "what it means to be young, Black, ambitious, and in constant pursuit of one's dreams."

The HBO Max show has been picked up for a second season but as of this recording it wasn't  clear if it would return but Ashley had a tip, which came true.

Thanksgiving weekend is the perfect to binge the show and listen to our thoughts on the season's drama.

It's the final season of HBO's Insecure. The last five years or so we've been invested in Issa, Lawrence, and Molly's lives -- we also argued.

Ashley and Racquel join the show this week to talk about the first episode of the fifth season, predictions to how it all ends, and lastly the show's impact.

Natalie joins the show this week to talk about one of her favorite movies, "The Count of Monte Cristo." I hadn't heard of this movie and I was put off because the preview didn't immediately catch my attention but boy was I wrong. This movie is so good and tells a good revenge story.

To relax, Natalie watches the classic, 'Living Single,' the original group of 20-something friends living in New York. It's is streaming on Hulu. She thinks more people should be watching FX's 'Snowfall.'

It's the last week of Halloween and Courtney joins the show to talk about 'Candyman,' the sequel to the 1992 horror film.

Courtney and I both were anxiously waiting for its release, remember it was suppose to come out in 2020 but you know the reason behind the delays. 

We also talk about how it compares to other horror or slasher movies.

This week, Maggie joins the show to talk about her favorite movie, 'Clue.' We talk about how her family sort of stumble to the movie and how 1985 comedy mystery has stuck with her through the years.

To relax she watches 'Frasier,' a show I know for a fact she's rewatched multiple times, even when her friends tell her to check out new shows. Maggie thinks more people should consider watching Netflix's  'Lupin,' the retelling of the classic French story about a world-famous thief.

"What ever it takes, I know I can make it through, if I hold out, if I do," if you humming the tune, this episode is for you -- just in time to celebrate 20 years of Degrassi: The Next Generation.

This week the Canadian show celebrates 20 years. I can't believe it. If you were like me and watched it growing up and remember knowing Drake as Jimmy Brooks, or rethinking Emma's motivations, or just want a trip down memory lane -- this episode is for you. LaSabra and Katie join this week to talk about the hit The-N (CTV) show.

This week, screenwriter, professor, and 1/3 of the Weekly Pop Up podcast joins the show this week to talk about 'Squid Game.' I can't recommend this show enough. If you enjoyed 'Clickbait,' this will blow your mind. There's great writing, symbolism, and -- wait I'm getting ahead of myself, Sky and I talk in depth about it all.

We go full spoilers 4 minutes in the episode so, if you haven't watched maybe hold off.

This week, TiAndra joins the show to talk about her favorite movie, "The Dark Knight Rises," similarly to Demarco a few weeks ago, TiAndra enjoys the movie because of Tom Hardy's performance as 'Bane.' She enjoyed it so much, she named her dog after him.

We talk about the different metaphors we took away from the film and of course we talk about which actor is the best, 'Batman.' 

To relax she watches 'Top Chief' because she loves watching chefs compete and master their skill. She thinks more people should consider watching Starz's 'Run The World,' about a group of women living in Harlem working towards world domination.
