Was It Good Though? Podcast

The crew is back with our second, QUEUED UP, AS REQUESTED , and this week we are discussing “The Number 23.” Yes , the psychological thriller starring Jim Carrey as a man who becomes obsessed with a book. We discuss where else have we seen a similar type of film. Our thoughts on Jim Carrey out of his normal wheel house. Who’s really to blame for why things go left within the movie ! And most importantly and thr reason why we are here, WAS IT GOOD THOUGH?!

The crew kicks things off by circling back to our ongoing relationship deep dives following up on Why Did I Get Married? and Relationship Goals. Are we evolving or just arguing better? We give a quick-hit review of The Fall Off from J. Cole and ask the real question: what actually determines a musical legend? Longevity? Impact? Vulnerability? Or just vibes? Then it’s time for Episode 193’s main event: His & Hers, the Netflix crime drama adaptation starring Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal. We break down the dynamic between the leads and whether that chemistry really sells the chaos. Anna leaving her job, her family, and getting caught with Richard. The sexual assault conversation and was it handled well? Is this story about classism, racism… or both? Did you clock the killer early, or were you blindsided? We let the ladies cook as they unpack the lead characters, and we ask the fellas: If you were Jack… how would you really handle it? “Meat mail” and modern male audacity. The ladies’ dating list vs. conquered list. Anna’s mother and the emotional weight of her condition. Messy relationships. Moral gray areas. Gender politics. Suspicion. Accountability. All that and more but the only question that really matters: WAS IT GOOD THOUGH?!

We’re stepping into the season of love, but first, we take a moment to honor and remember the legends we’ve recently lost. 2026 has already claimed some heavy hitters, and we made sure to give them their flowers. It’s also award season, so we couldn’t skip over some of the standout moments and winners from this year’s Grammy Awards. For Episode 192, we dive into Relationship Goals, starring Kelly Rowland and Method Man. The crew has been asking for a Black-led rom-com, but did this one actually deliver on the rom-com expectations? We break down the tropes, unpack the toxic side of love, and Jason shares a recent encounter that ties right into the conversation. We also discussed the chemistry between the characters, Method Man’s performance, and whether the heavy “Bible messaging” was doing too much. We get into all of it — and of course… Was It Good Though? 🎬🍿 #moviereview #relationship

The gang is BACK and we’re returning to the Bone Temple!! Which means no shoes, no morals, and survival instincts. For Episode 191, we dive headfirst into 28 Years Later: Bone Temple, directed by the always-illustrious Nia DaCosta. But before we can get to the horror? It’s Jason’s birthday, so naturally the episode opens in absolute disorder. Birthday cake, chaos, and a very real conversation about why the planet feels overpopulated with Aquariuses. Science was attempted. Then we get into the madness: Spike, Dr. Kelson, and that man , the Alpha. Samson. THAT MAN OUTSIDE. One legend, too many nicknames, zero peace. We discuss the story shifts from Spike to now Sir Jimmy Crystal and his fingers, the power dynamics get messier, louder, and way more unhinged. We break down the long-awaited Kelson vs. Sir Jimmy clash, argue about who’s really in control, and question Spikes every life choice that led us here. PLUS , we get into If we started a cult, what song are we forcing everyone to worship to? Is the “28 Years” franchise officially knocking on the door of the Top 10 horror franchises of all time, or are we bugging? All that chaos leads to the final, unavoidable question: WAS. IT. GOOD. THOUGH?! 🎙️💀🔥

WIGTP presents Queued Up, As Requested, our listener-requested movie review series featuring short, straight-to-the-point discussions with no filler—just honest opinions. In this episode, we review the 2025 sci-fi anthology film Merge, now streaming on Amazon Prime. We break down the story, character decisions, standout moments, and the elements that left us confused, while exploring the film’s deeper themes around artificial intelligence. Our conversation dives into whether AI can truly be used as a helpful tool for humanity or if it risks becoming a dangerous crutch. As always, we wrap things up by answering the question, Was It Good Though?

Episode 190 marks our first Tyler Perry film review in almost two years (be sure to check out our Acrimony episode too). This week, we dive headfirst into Why Did I Get Married? and unpack relationships, friendship, secrets, and everything in between. We’re joined by our sister Lisa and King Toxic himself, a.k.a. Shawn, and once the conversation starts, it moves fast — faster than Mike’s insults toward Sheila. 😅 We get raw about how the 80/20 rule shows up in our daily lives, whether we’d share medical results with our spouse, and whether Tyler Perry was too perfect of a casting choice for Terry. From role reversals and toxicity to debating whether this is one of Tyler Perry’s best films, nothing is off-limits. The episode definitely goes off the rails, so buckle up. We even revisit a few Baby Boy topics from last week — all while making sure to answer the most important question of the show: Was it good though? Be sure to SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW us wherever you watch or listen to podcast.

The crew is back, and we’re diving into a 25-year-old hood classic Baby Boy with friend of the show and internet fam, RICO! Freshly added to The Criterion Collection with Boyz N the Hood and Poetic Justice, John Singleton’s film hits different in 2026. It’s raw, reflective, and honest about young Black men being coddled by family, the lack of emotional immaturity, and the moment life forces them to grow up.In this episode, we break it ALL down: Have we ever been a Jody? The moments we saw ourselves a little too clearly. Melvin’s impact and why his role might be one of the film’s most important pieces. What makes Baby Boy a classic and why it still resonates today. If Pea’s character was necessary or wasted potential? Yvette’s journey, the choices she makes, and the advice we’d give her. Black men in the home and how the movie frames that conversation. Snoop as Rodney , did we get enough? Did we want more? Plus, we pit Insecure vs. Baby Boy, and Jason hits Jazz with a full UNO reverse in “THIS OR THAT.” And you already know why you’re here… WAS IT GOOD THOUGH?!

We continue the discussion and say our final farewell to the crew. We revisit that moment on top of the TV station, share our thoughts and feelings on the finale, and talk about other shows whose finales didn’t quite live up to expectations. We also dive into possible theories—both our own and some floating around on social media: Is Eleven still alive? Was Vecna innocent before turning evil? And of course, we close it out by asking the most important question…Was It Good Though?

Another two-parter, Ladies and Gents...and this one gets a little strange.For Episode 188, we’re diving into Stranger Things Season 5, and we brought in our brother and sister podcast, Anthony ( ⁨@TSWNMediaNetwork⁩  ) and Lisa ( ⁨@reelmovielovers9570⁩  ). We look back at what made us fall in love with the series, the countless breaks over the past nine years, and what we finally got after a three-year drought. We break down some of the new characters, Vecna/Henry/One’s makeover, and debate whether Erica would’ve been a better choice than Holly to take on Vecna this season. We save our “What Did You Think Though?” for Chapter Two, but just like the first half of Season 5, we leave you on a solid cliffhanger.Be on the lookout for Chapter Two, dropping Thursday (1/15) at 6am EST / 5am CST, with visuals hitting YouTube at 9am EST / 8am CST.

Sometimes the conversation gets so good we have to keep it . We get into anniversary of films . There was some hate for BABY BOY. We then discuss Tyrese as an actor . BATMAN IS A WHO!? Ethan hawk in the DCU?! We get into Dave Chapelles new stand up special and the controversy plenty more!
