  • POCcorn - The Visitor

    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 discuss ⁠The Visitor. A film that occurred in 2007 depicting a lonely college professor, dealing with the grief of his late wife by autopiloting his way through life. When his job pushes him to attend a conference in NY, he returns to his long abandoned apartment to find it has been sublet by two immigrants. Allowing the couple to stay in the apartment with him, a bond is formed. And we are invited into the world of this odd friendship through sharing of culture, of art, of love, and ultimately heartbreak. The film highlights the abrupt injustice of detainment and deportation, trapping all who dare to view it in a space of frustration, hope and the reality of America. Listen in!

  • POCcorn - Detroit Unleaded

    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 discuss Detroit Unleaded and select the "Competition Cuss Out" scene as our POCcorn moment. This movie was underwhelming and left us wanting so much more, but not in a good way. The plot left much to be desired, and the chemistry between the two protagonists was lacking throughout it all. We found a couple of gems worth discussing, and for that we encourage you to Listen in!

  • GTLS: "Girlfriends Talking Living Single" Season 1 Ep. 13-15

    Listen in as we talk about "Friends Moving Too Fast in Relationships" "Fears of Being Burglarized" and the "Best Gifts We've Ever Gotten."

    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 - Breaking Fast

    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 discuss Breaking Fast and select the "Sam & John Coming for Dinner" scene as our POCcorn moment. This movie has been the highlight of the year so far. A telling of a love story that embodies 'diversity in filmmaking.' We gleefully experienced an Arab American Gay Rom-Com in hopes that it would deliver. Though we intentionally searched for a film to acknowledge Arab American Heritage Month, we did not anticipate the humor, the depth, the connection and the acting that we got in return. This film was Layered and rich with screenwriting gems we will not soon forget. Listen in!
