This collective is where movies, TV shows, books, and entertainment get the real talk treatment—no sugarcoating, just straight-up funny, unfiltered opinions from a Black perspective. If Rotten Tomatoes had a cookout, this show would be running the grill. Expect deep dives, wild hot takes, and debates spicier than your auntie’s mac and cheese. From classic Black cinema to the latest binge-worthy series, no storyline is safe. So pull up a chair, grab a plate, and let’s chop it up about the culture!"

Hindsight: Ghostbusters 2 01.11.2021 1:33:07

Ahoy, Motherfuckers!   I yearn to love this movie so much more. I love the soundtrack and the overall comedy is great. Rick Moranis and Annie Potts are incredible in their supporting roles, and Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, and Dan Aykroyd are always a delight. Sigourney Weaver is a treasure and should be hailed as one of the all-time greats if she isn't already.    But Ernie Hudson go...

Hindsight: Ghostbusters 26.10.2021 1:10:56

Ahoy, Motherfuckers! In preparation for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, we decided to dedicate this month to the Ghostbusters franchise, beginning with the almighty classic released in 1984. The movie is nearly flawless, except for the issues that Derik had with it, and we had an absolute blast watching it and discussing the many ways that Peter Venkman is a jerk. Also, Walter Peck was right, and Al Powe...

Hindsight: Killer Klowns From Outer Space 18.10.2021 2:06:20

I can't believe I ever found this movie scary. Appalling? Yes. Stupid? Definitely. Racist? That was there, too. Funny? At times. But scary? Not even close. We were joined by Vee from FrownTown and Quan and we had a grand ole time making fun of this one.
