Welcome to Recap Kickback where we chop it up about black entertainment news and discuss all of our favorite movies and shows.

This week our hosts Chappell (@RecapKickback) and Mari (@MariTalks2Much) are joined by Jazz from the “Was It Good Though Podcast” (@WasItGoodThoughPod) to discuss the latest Issa Rae docuseries, “Seen & Heard: The History of Black Television”.

This two part HBO Max docuseries explores the history of African-American representation in Hollywood, showcasing creators and artists who shaped it. Our panel reacts to the documentary and offers their own commentary on the tv shows, creators and actors that have influenced the industry and impacted all of our panel members and how they consume black media. Issa Rae, Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Shonda Rhimes, Ava DuVernay, Lena Waithe, Cord Jefferson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Swizz Beatz and Norman Lear all appear in the series.

Next week Mari and Chappell will be back to discuss the shows on BET Plus that may have slipped under the radar!
