Their Eyes Were Watching TV

Ya girls got fancy and decided to have a night out at the theatre! We saw the critically acclaimed stage play "New Jack City" (and by "critically acclaimed," we mean - Ice T, costar of the original film, claimed to enjoy it). This live version of the classic 1991 film featured many a 90s star, including Treach, Gary Dourdan, Flex Alexander, Big Daddy Kane, and Allen Payne, who reprised his role as...

Getting this out a little late because...LIFE. But this week we're discussing part three of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" reunion. The ladies had already discussed a number of issues, including the bullying of Garcelle's teen son (get Diana TF outta here!), accusations of Erika leaking stories to the press, and chic wind chimes, but when big Kathy (Hilton) took the stage, baybeeeee. Got t...

Happy Halloween, kids! This week we're discussing our favorite pop culture spooky season moments; from movies to trivia to...Lauryn Hill soundtrack features? Ok, we got off topic with that last one but we also talk about our own personal favorite Halloween moments and costumes. Hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween!

This week we're discussing the beautiful family drama, "Queen Sugar." In episode 5 of this final season, entitled "With A Kind Of," members of the Bordelon family deal with past experiences coming back to haunt them [unfairly]: A cheating spouse; incarceration due to youthful mistakes; and a life-changing assault made public by a family member who had previously been trusted. The Bordelons have be...

Dooooon't f%ck with her, fellas! This ain't Lou's first time at the rodeo. This week we're discussing the action-thriller "Lou." Lou is a grouchy loner who pretty much keeps to herself but when her neighbor Hannah's daughter is kidnapped and she turns to Lou for help, Lou steps up and surprises everyone with her...very particular set of skills. During their efforts to get Hannah's daughter back, w...

Hallelu, saints! This week we're discussing the mockumentary "Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul." which centers around a megachurch pastor and first lady who are attempting to rebuild their congregation following a major scandal. The film humorously highlights the moral hypocrisy and spectacle attached to megachurches, as well as the all too common trend of preachers NOT practicing what they preach....

This week we're discussing Jordan Peele's third film, "Nope." This sci-fi horror centers on the Haywood family, who has been raising and training horses for Hollywood productions going back generations. Jobs have slowed but...freaky UFO activity around their ranch has picked alllll the way up. But instead of just saying "nope" and moving like the title might imply (and my a$$ woulda done), sibling...

Trying something a bit different with this episode! Instead of just focusing on one show or movie, we get into a buncha things we're watching. Now...we recorded this in late May, so excuse the topics being a bit dated, but we'd still love your feedback on if you want more episodes like this! We've had a busy few weeks but will be back with a new episode next week!

This week we’re discussing Issa Rae’s new show “Rap Sh!t,” which centers around two estranged high school friends in Miami who reconnect and form a rap group. After a few drinks, they go on Instagram Live and freestyle the catchy bop “Seduce & Scheme,” which immediately goes viral. Though they have very different views on women in hip hop and what it takes to make it, their desires to rise above t...

This week we're discussing pop culture phenomenon "90 Day Fiancé." As with other seasons, the current couples are struggling with the stress and time constraints of the 90 day K-1 visa, and trying to figure out if they will make it to the altar before time is up. But unlike other seasons, the vast majority of this cast is...annoying. "90 Day Fiancé" airs Sundays at 8/7c on TLC.

This week we're discussing the hit show "P-Valley." The Dirty Dozen Tour has started and we see Keyshawn (aka M-I crooked letta, crooked letta...) and Lil Murda adjusting to tour life and new found fame. Mercedes agrees to be Coach's kept woman to hold on to her gym and surprisingly finds a possible friend and ally in his wife. Uncle Clifford pops that p*ssy at the Pynk to show the girls she's not...

This week we’re doing it for the SAINTS!!! We’re discussing the highly anticipated Lifetime film “Wrath: A Seven Deadly Sins Story,” produced by TD Jakes and Shaun Robinson (yes, THAT Shaun Robinson from the 90 day fiancé multiverse!). A cautionary tale with Christian overtones, Chastity is a lawyer on the fast track to making partner to resolve her daddy issues, when she unexpectedly meets a hand...

This week we're discussing Jerrod Carmichael's moving new stand-up special, "Rothaniel." In the special, which feels almost equal part group therapy session as it does comedy show, Jerrod shares family secrets and personal secrets with earnest vulnerability, and invites audience participation in a way we haven't seen before. He also touches on being named after his grandfathers, who both happened...

This week we're discussing the horror-ish film, "Master." Regina Hall stars as college professor Gail Bishop, who becomes the first Black master at her elite ivy league university. She builds a bond with incoming Black freshman, Jasmine Moore, as they both begin facing racism of the [possibly] supernatural variety. But WHO...is targeting them?? "Master" is available to stream on Amazon Prime.

The 94th annual Oscars ceremony took place Sunday night and...it was pretty boring. We really had to scrape for content because the show was so anticlimactic.  Clearly kidding. So many firsts- from CODA winning best picture to Megan Thee Stallion's performance. Hilarious commentary and skits from this year's hosts, Wanda Sykes, Regina Hall and Amy Schumer. And, of course, what is sure to be one of...

Yeah, maybe...don't bring back my girls? This week we're discussing the lackluster Snatch Game episode of "RuPaul's Drag Race." Usually one of the most anticipated episodes each season, the season 14 queens just didn't have quite enough Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent, this time around. It's normal to have an off day but...it seems like all of theirs synced up somehow.  "RuPaul's Drag Race"...

This week we're discussing the current season of "Married at First Sight" set in Boston. 5 couples decided to tie the knot with a complete stranger and less than 3 weeks into the 8 week experiment, one couple has already decided to call it quits. With a few cute moments and a LOT of communication issues, MAFS Boston brings the same marital drama we've come to know and love from the series.  "Marri...

This week, we're discussing the popular Netflix documentary "The Tinder Swindler." The doc tells the story of Simon Leviev (real name: Shimon Hayut), who lied about being the son of a diamond tycoon and embellished his lavish lifestyle online to attract women. Not only was Simon juggling multiple women relationship-wise, he was also juggling their finances to finance his own life. By love bombing...

...did we use jawn right? :-|  This week, we're discussing the first three episodes of "Bel-Air," the new dramatic re-telling of iconic 90s sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." All of our favorite characters are back but...can't say the same for all of their personalities. As in the original, Will is trying to navigate his new California life after leaving Philly because of a fight but unlike the...

Claws Up, y'all! Join us as we discuss the series finale of the TNT dramedy, "Claws." Nail salon owner, Desna Simms, and her crew of delinquent manicurist besties have have been consistently upping the ante on their illegal activities over the past three seasons.

This week we're discussing the new hit comedy "Abbott Elementary!" After a new student comes from a private school where he participated in their gifted program, Janine is inspired to start one at Abbott. These are young minds that need to be expanded, right?! But...what about all those other young minds who will miss out on these new experiences? Through a bit of trial, error, and personal insigh...

And just like that, we're... well... discussing "And Just Like That..." In the most recent episode, "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered," the ladies encounter big life changes and have to figure out how to navigate through new feelings.
