Was It Good Though? Podcast

This week we’re dropping Episode 169! Finding the perfect movie for this episode took some thought, but choosing our guests was the easy part. Big shoutout to our family over at Talking Ish: A Podcast Amongst Friends — Anthony and Helaine, for joining us, along with Rico and Jada.

The crew came with the perfect energy as we dove straight into the conversation: kinks, toes, and whether quick pumpers deserve a second chance. We also touched on the importance of safe sex, the hilarious dynamic between Tommy and Jamie’s characters, and which era — the 90s or early 2000s — gave us the best run of romantic Black-led films.

Things definitely get raunchy, but as always, we match the wild energy of the movie we’re reviewing. And of course, after all the chaos, we landed on the most important question: Was It Good Though?

Before we hit y'all with the wild ride that will be Episode 169, we're giving you a special preview with Episode 168. We brought back Chapell from the ​⁠​⁠ podcast and our very own toxic king Shawn to finally dive into a movie we've been talking about for a minute - Love Jones (1997), starring Lorenz Tate and Nia Long. Is the chase a lost art? Do you believe in love at first sight? Plus, we rank our top 3 women and men from the 90s. Tap in for nostalgia, debates, and plenty of laughs but most importantly WAS IT GOOD THOUGH!?

WAKANDA FOREVER! ✊🏾🖤 This week the crew is back with Episode 167 to break down Eyes of Wakanda! We’re joined by our brother Chappell from the Recap Kickback podcast to dive into Marvel’s latest series. We talk about anthologies, the history of Wakanda, and whether this series is truly canon. It doesn’t go unnoticed that this is the second Marvel series released this year with Black leads that received little marketing—will Wonder Man face the same treatment? As of now, Marvel is two for three. We also question whether elements from this series will ever be referenced again, and of course, we ask the most important question: Was It Good Though??

This is a podcast about how one day, just a normal Tuesday but today was different because the night before someone decided to drop the podcast at 2:17 in the morning! That’s right, we’ve seen it, we’ve reviewed it and dropped it for consumption at the WEE HOURS of the morning and that movie discussed was Weapons! One of the most anticipated films of the year has landed and we have a lot to talk about! This won’t be our typical format because we ran home like the missing children to discuss the mystery, the horrors, the characters and of course WAS IT GOOD THOUGH

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? 😱
Even in 2025, we’re still getting chills from that iconic line delivered by the one and only Jennifer Love Hewitt—this time in the latest installment of the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise. In Episode 165, we’re diving into our first slasher of the year, and we had to bring in our brother Chris to break it all down with us. The crew discusses the new friend group, whether a real crime even happened, and if Julie’s return actually added value to the story. We get into the risks the film took, whether the twist landed, and how last-minute choices may have hurt its success. Jazz also challenges the fellas: Is it time to retire some of these tired horror tropes? Of course, we bring up Scream, and debate which horror franchise has been the most consistent over the years. We cover it all and ultimately ask the question...Was It Good Though?

Faannntasticccc 164! The crews back to discuss one of the most anticipated since the MCUs conception , Fantastic Four: The First Steps. Before we get into the movie , we get into Kevin Feige’s Variety interview to discuss some of the “Fantastic Facts or Fictions!” This is the 4th iteration of the Fantastic Family, so we get in to the speed run of the back story of the family and how Jazz and Anthony , from the Talkin Ish A Podcast Amongst Friends, felt since this was Jason’s first run with them. The crew discusses if the cast members depicted their characters core principles . We get in to how the movie subverted your expectations based on not only the trailer but also based on Thunderbolts* ending. We get into the missing (Phase 4) heroes and we answer the question you’re here for, WAS IT GOOD THOUGH !?

For Episode 163, we review the latest film in the Jurassic Park franchise — a so-called rebirth featuring Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali. Jason’s love for dinosaurs is stronger than ever, and we’re joined by our brother Chris to break down the film's highs, lows, and everything in between.

We hold the franchise accountable for its ongoing lack of story development and question whether audiences even care, as long as there are dinosaurs on screen. Jazz adds a fun twist by giving the guys their own island assignments — with hilarious results.

We also dig into the cast chemistry, whether Scarlett’s character was “playing the field,” and if the inclusion of the family subplot added anything of value. As always, we wrap with the ultimate question: Was It Good Though?

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Nope! It’s the WAS IT GOOD THOUGH PODCAST here to discuss James Gunn’s SUPERMAN with Anthony from the Talkin Ish Podcast a Podcast Amongst Friends and Michael! Jazz leads us the men geek out over DC and we discuss was this a different variation of Superman or was he just the wheel being turned again? We get into the introduction of the film, which was shared months ago, and how we’re being Introduced to not Kal-el, but Superman was being humbled. Why did the people of Metropolis not ran out of fear when being attacked , however when the Gor-El message was decoded , they began to turn against the strongest meta human we’ve met? What more is coming from James Gunn and Dc, but most importantly, WAS IT GOOD THOUGH !?

For Episode 161, we're reviewing the final project of the MCU’s Phase 5: Ironheart. We’re joined by our brother Anthony from Talking Ish: A Podcast Amongst Friends (@TSWNMediaNetwork).We dive into not only RiRi’s journey in the series but also Marvel’s handling of the show leading up to its release. We hold RiRi accountable for her stumbles throughout the season while also highlighting the standout performances from her parents and the strength of her community.When will we see her again? Was the surprise guest appearance worth the wait? And of course, we have to ask… Was It Good Though?

🎬 Welcome to the Was It Good Though? Podcast — the movie review podcast where loving a franchise doesn’t mean we won’t roast it. In Episode 160, Jason & Jazz (plus the crew) dive headfirst into the latest installment of the 28 Days franchise, 28 Years Later, a movie we were very excited about… mostly because we grew up with this series and had high hopes. That excitement? Yeah… we talk about it.

We break down the film with plenty of laughs, side-eyes, and unscripted conversation, from debating the difference between a biopic and a coming-of-age film to asking the real question: should Spike have waited three more years before stepping foot on the mainland? Chris leads the charge on FDK as the crew jumps Spike for his questionable decisions and questionable execution. We also rehash the age-old debate — should Joel have saved Ellie or let her go? — and get into how we felt about the movie being filmed on an iPhone (and whether it would’ve hit different on Android 👀).

From Dr. Kelson and his Bone Temple to ranking the entire franchise, this host-led movie chat delivers TV & film commentary, pop culture discussion, and plenty of hot takes on movies and entertainment culture. If you love weekly entertainment podcasts with humor, honesty, and friends arguing like it’s the group chat, tap in as we answer the only question that matters: Was It Good Though?
