Welcome to The Blackened Tomato, a podcast with seasoned takes on movies, pop culture, politics and a bit of whatever scratches my brain

Today i'm just jumping back into the podcasting game, catching everyone up on what I've been up to and saying hello.

But i'm back or "i'm alive!" as Aegon would say.

I forgot intro/outro here but I insist this still goes up, see ya'll again soon!

In episode 7 of The Blackened Tomato I will dive into some recent pop culture moments surrounding race and politics and also explain why some movies in theaters right now may be worth your time. 

pop culture moments:

Druski's conservative white woman skit

Meta and YT's lawsuit updates 

Snape has been casted black in HBO's Harry Potter series 

Movies:

Ready or Not 2

Slanted 

Project Hail Mary

Life (1999)

Episode 6!! In this episode we'll get into why Hoppers is indeed just like the Avatar franchise, Netflix's latest out of control dating show, Timothy Chalamet, The Oscars and why Shrinking on Apple TV is INSANELY good television. 

In this episode I'll clear up some confusion around the BAFTA N word situation, why Love Is Blind has a casting problem and of course chat through some interesting movies that are currently out or coming out soon. I'll also discuss how classic black movie chats will soon become a recurring segment.  

In this episode of The Blackened Tomato I'll be discussing final Super Bowl thoughts (more on my socials), the weight of pop culture right now, what I've been watching, movies i'm excited to see this week and later in the pod i'll shout out 3 books, 3 actors and 3 tv shows for black history month.

Ep. Corrections

Dracula is DIRECTED by Luc Besson, not produced

Paradise is not out yet 
Feb 26. Release

I always mean Viola Davis, NOT Angela lol 

In this pod we'll get into the heavy news week, how Amazon is completely out of control with their movie output, part 1 of Oscar homework i'm getting through, and IShowSpeed's Africa tour reminding people once more what Africa has to offer.

This weeks Oscar homework includes films that have women nominated for Best Actress: If I Had Legs I'd Kick you and Hamnet. I'll dive into what I think about these two movies and how I feel so far about who has the best chance at winning Best Actress at the Oscars.

Episode two of The Blackened Tomato! We're chatting why Sinners is so under appreciated outside the black community, understanding that your heroes have a screw loose and NEVER going to theme parks without a fast pass.

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Oj and my journey starts here. Thank you so much for listening!

Welcome to the FIRST go at me trying the podcast game, the sound needs love, the structure needs love, everything needs love. Its also late and our thoughts are raw but i'm glad we made something happen. The journey begins.

This is me and my close friend and co worker Shari discussing our thoughts on Avatar Fire and Ash and Stranger Things up until the Finale episode which has yet to release.

There will not always be guest but the mission is to have special episodes where I can
