In Tyler Perry's Joe's College Road Trip, Perry takes one of his most unhinged characters, Joe, and pushes him even further. What was once just Madea’s oxygen-tank-toting, foul-mouthed brother becomes the leader of a cross-country “educational” journey as he attempts to teach his grandson B.J. what it really means to understand and appreciate African-American history.

But Tyler Perry doesn’t just push boundaries… he blasts past them. The film opens with a content warning that still doesn’t prepare you for what’s coming.

When Brian asks Joe and Madea for help after discovering how little B.J. knows about HBCUs and Black history, Joe and his grandson sets off on a chaotic, raunchy, and controversial road trip that takes us from Mississippi cotton fields to Tennessee blues clubs… and even a brothel scene that has the internet debating how far is too far for Tyler Perry these days?

Is Perry mixing education and vulgar humor in a bold new way or is this a misfire that strays too far from his core audience?  TeaRon & BK break down the shock factor, the cultural conversations, and whether TP Studios should continue down this road.

We’re kicking off 2026 with something different.
TeaRon and BK review the independent sci-fi film Underneath: Children of the Sun, a passion project years in the making that has already pulled in over 800K views on YouTube—a major win for indie cinema.

Directed by David Kirman, the film is set in 1850s Missouri, where a man’s chance encounter with an alien survivor from a crashed spacecraft pulls him into a much larger intergalactic conflict. The result is an ambitious blend of Black history, cosmic politics, and generational legacy.

TeaRon and BK break down the film’s impressive visuals, bold ideas, and its decision to weave a slavery storyline into a sci-fi epic—while questioning whether the story fully delivers on its massive promise.

Is Underneath proof of what Black audiences are craving—and a glimpse into the future of independent filmmaking—or does its ambition outpace its execution?

BK’s Blacklist is back, and this time TeaRon and BK revisit one of the most provocative and unsettling films in Black cinema history: John Singleton’s Higher Learning.

Released over 30 years ago, this controversial cult classic feels disturbingly more relevant today. Set on the fictional Columbus University campus, Higher Learning traps America’s most volatile social issues inside a pressure cooker—where race, masculinity, identity, white supremacy, patriarchy, and violence collide with devastating consequences.

The film features early performances from future Black Hollywood heavyweights and cultural icons including Omar Epps, Ice Cube, Tyra Banks, Regina King, Laurence Fishburne, Busta Rhymes, alongside Kristy Swanson and Jennifer Connelly. Each character represents a different path through college life, exposing how ideology, insecurity, and power can radicalize young minds.

TeaRon and BK unpack Singleton’s bold vision, debate whether the film still holds up, and confront the uncomfortable truth at its core: the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Does Higher Learning still hit too close to home in today’s America—or was it always meant to be a warning we ignored?

It’s time for another Black ensemble Christmas movie — but this one is Unexpected.

TeaRon and BK break down Unexpected Christmas, the holiday comedy starring Lil Rel Howery, Dominique Perry, Reagan Gomez-Preston, and the legendary Anna Maria Horsford. Before diving into the film, the hosts reflect on some of their favorite Black Christmas classics and what expectations come with them.

In Unexpected Christmas, Marissa (Perry) is blindsided when her longtime boyfriend Richard (Howery) claims he can’t join her for Christmas — only for her to arrive at her family’s Texas home and find him there anyway… as the date of her estranged stepsister Kerry (Gomez-Preston). From fake boyfriends to messy revelations, chaos erupts as Marissa plots her holiday revenge.

The question is: does this movie deliver festive fun, or does the drama overwhelm the cheer? TeaRon and BK unpack the twists, performances, and whether Unexpected Christmas earns a spot in the Black holiday movie rotation.

We’re kicking off a brand-new segment on the show: BK’s Blacklist — where BK (our Gen-Z, suburban-raised co-host) takes on the classic Black films he somehow missed, and TeaRon (who grew up on all of them) guides him through a multigenerational deep dive into the movies that shaped Black culture. Together, they break down the nostalgia, the legacy, and the big question: do these classics still hold up today?

For the first installment, we’re revisiting one of the most iconic bank-heist films of all time — Set It Off, starring legends Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, Vivica A. Fox, and Kimberly Elise, directed by the incomparable F. Gary Gray. From unforgettable lines to culture-shifting moments, this film still sparks conversation decades later.

TeaRon and BK unpack the performances, the impact, the emotional punches, and the scenes that still stick with us — all while debating BK’s final rating.
 When did you first see Set It Off? And does it still hold up?
