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!"

Ahoy, Motherfuckers! What happens when you only have four years to make three movies before the rights to said movies revert back to the guy who initially created them?

Hindsight: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines 31.08.2021 1:03:50

Ahoy Motherfuckers! Brandon and Derik discuss the most meh Terminator movie ever made, Rise of the Machines. They start this movie off on the wrong foot by saying that John Connor was 13 in Terminator 2 when the movie itself clearly showed that he was ten, and it went from there. They dropped all vestiges of sci-fi in this movie to pursue a full-on action flick, and the resulting product is one of...
