    This week, Chelsie joins the show to talk about her favorite movie, 'Love Jones.' She and I talk about how relevant the 1997 drama feels for us in our 20s and how the movie is different now than it was when she first watched it with her mom.

  • 28 - Amazon's One Night in Miami...

    This week, Natalie joins the show to talk about Regina King's film directorial debut with 'One Night in Miami...' based on true events but on a fictionalize meeting with Sam Cooke, Malcolm X, Jim Brown, and Muhammad Ali. We talk about the role of these men in American history but specifically to Black American history. We were both a bit surprised the movie talks about colorism but it's a conversation we are pleased is address, even briefly.
