"Let my people Goooo!!" — the iconic words from the chosen one, Moses. This week on Episode 149, we're diving deep into The Prince of Egypt. Huge shoutout to our homies Furb and Jada for pulling up and joining us for this one. We tackled some wild questions during the discussion — like, who actually built the pyramids? Would Pharaoh have let the slaves go after the work was done? And here's the real curveball: Was Moses the true villain of the film?From the powerful message to the unforgettable soundtrack, we break down what made this animated epic so impactful. We also dig into whether the story was truly based on real events. Things definitely got dark — plagues, famines, frogs everywhere — but we survived it all and even walked through the ocean (okay, metaphorically) to get to the heart of it all, "Was It Good Though?"

We're joined once again by Michael to dive into not only the film but also the events leading up to its release, Majors' press run, and whether this film could be the key to resurrecting his career. If Majors had never been convicted, would this film be a surefire Oscar nomination — and possibly a win?

As we get into the film, Jazz poses some thought-provoking questions: "Was Killian his own worst enemy?", "Did Killian's social worker/therapist fail him?", and "Is it best to never meet your heroes?". We also discuss the importance of emotional connections with others and the significance of self-love. Finally, we ask: Was it good though — both the movie and Majors' performance?

We’re kicking off the first MCU movie of 2025 with Episode 141, where we dive into Captain America: Brave New World. Our cousins, Anthony and Helaine from Talkin' Ish: A Podcast Among Friends, joined the conversation and got pretty hyped with us! Some of the major points we covered were Sam’s bond with Isaiah, the epic fight scenes, whether we should’ve seen more Red Hulk, and the weight Sam carries as a black man stepping into the role of Captain America. The online opinions surrounding this movie have been all over the place, but as a group, we’re sticking with the mindset: “If you want to see it, go see it and forget what others think.” Jason also threw out an interesting question—does Sam’s Captain America deserve the same love and recognition that Chadwick’s Black Panther got? Let us know your thoughts in the comments, and, of course, Was It Good Though??
