  • POCcorn - Alice Junior

    The POCcorn podcast reviews films created, directed and/or starring People of Color. Each show uses four questions to describe our thoughts on the film, plus one POCcorn moment we simply MUST discuss in detail.

    In honor of Pride Month, we reviewed a film titled ⁠⁠⁠Alice Júnior⁠⁠⁠. Both light and refreshing, Alice Junior is a tale about a transgender teenager's quest for her first kiss. This film sneakily tackled hot topics such as politics, privilege and sexual preference; all while delivering a sweet story riddled with joy, acceptance, and unconditional love. Listen in!

  • POCcorn - Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (PART 2)

    The POCcorn podcast reviews films created, directed and/or starring People of Color. Each show uses four questions to describe our thoughts on the film, plus one POCcorn moment we simply MUST discuss in detail.

    In this episode, we passionately review the incomparable; ⁠⁠Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse⁠⁠. We honestly said so much in this 2-part review, I'm not sure what else can be said in this description. But all in all, this sequel was just as good, if not better than the first. And that is a rare accomplishment in itself. Listen in!

  • GTLS: "Girlfriends Talking Living Single" Season 1 Ep. 25-27

    Listen in as we talk about the "Gossiping," "Mother Daughter Trials," and the concept of "Shacking Up" is old, whereas "Living Together = Learning Together."

    We are talking the one, the only, the incredible, "LIVING SINGLE!" (And yes, you may read that in your best singing voice)   This show gave so many things to so many people, including Permission. Permission to be an unapologetic, business-running, career-killing, fashion-styling, sweet summer-child'n black woman who was both independent but not alone. The relationships between these women appeared authentic on-screen, the humor kept us all wanting for more, and the writing gave its audiences doses of reality whether they were ready for it or not.

  • POCcorn - A Thousand and One

    The POCcorn podcast reviews films created, directed and/or starring People of Color. Each show uses four questions to describe our thoughts on the film, plus one POCcorn moment we simply MUST discuss in detail.

    In this episode, we review a favorite; ⁠⁠A Thousand and One. A heartbreaking tale of mother and son, both shaped by their time in the foster care system. We watched these characters make a life together, thrive together, survive together. All while dealing with the predatory nature of gentrification in their neighborhood. And just as you think you've gotten to know these characters completely, the twist at the end proved to be even more gut wrenching than anything shown before. In short, we loved it. Listen in!
