We're back! Enjoy! More episodes to come soon...

22: Arnold (Netflix) is not Emotionally Available Enough

Aug 07 2023 29 mins

Arnold (Netflix) is a docu-series about the body builder, polician and movie star, and one of the things we learn is that he has no time for emotions. Somehow, we also learn that Jobina and her sister were big fans of LL Cool J. We also take tangents to talk about body issues, winning the lottery, and Biggie's "Mo Money, Mo Problems." Because there were no prominent women in the do

21: Shiny Happy People (Prime) Were Actually Gross and Disgusting

Jun 26 2023 29 mins

Man listen.... Anybody walking around calling themselves "Jim Bob" is suspicious. AND his wife had 19 kids! The cops should have stormed that house like they did the Branch Davidians! Our episode might not be suitable for kids because we briefly discuss sexual abuse, but we don't get graphic and we move on pretty quickly. There are plenty other things to discuss with this hilarious

20: Queen Charlotte (Netflix) Wore an Afro so We Could Run

Jun 06 2023 33 mins

Queen Charlotte (Netflix) wore her afro loudly and proudly, so that little girls everywhere can be proud of their natural hair as well. And Jobina can never say that she wasn't given anything! This show was for her, and she was more than happy to discuss it. And of course we took our usual-unusual tangents, discussing everything from colorism, arranged marriage, and the royal famil

19: The More Beef (Netflix) The Merrier

May 02 2023 52 mins

We just couldn't leave Beef alone. We reveiwed the first/pilot episode in our normal format, but we wanted to come back and discuss the whole series because it touched on so many interesting thoughts and ideas. One of the things we discuss is the intentionality of every detail of the show, including the episode titles. Each title is a snippet from a quote by a historical figure, of

18: Beef (Netflix) Escalates Quickly

Apr 29 2023 27 mins

This is a really good show. No, wait. Yes, our show is also good, but I'm talking about Beef on Netflix. Check out our commentary on the first episode, which includes two hilarious interactions we've had with contractors. Also, please seek mental health counseling if you are considering peeing on someone's bathroom floor, unless they've specifically asked for such a service. Enjoy!

17: Seeking Brother Husband (TLC) for Help With This Drywall

Apr 09 2023 24 mins

Seeking Brother Husband (TLC) is about throuples (couples but with three people) with one woman and two men, often looking to add another man to the relationship. This is reality TV at its finest, and we have plenty to say about it. What we love about this episode: we talk about how parents often struggle to accept the lifestyle choices of their children, even though they themselve

16: Waco: American Apocolypse (Netflix) Really Really Tried to be Impartial

Mar 30 2023 29 mins

This Netflix show tried to show the good and bad of the ATF, and the good and bad of a cult led by a 33 year old man who married 12 year olds. This is a really sad tale of what happened in Waco in 1993, but of course in our discussion of this episode we take a few hilarious tangents. We talk about the age of consent, shooting a rifle (and the 2nd amendment), and that one Netflix sh

15: Kindred (Hulu) Teaches Us Again that Time Travel is not for Black People

Mar 18 2023 35 mins

Kindred, on Hulu, is about a young Black woman who is violently pulled back and forth in time. Correction, pulled back and forth into and out of slavery. This show is adapted from an Octavia Butler novel by the same name. We didn't know at the time of the recording, but Octavia Butler passed away in 2006. That being said, this show provided many fun things for us to talk about. Fro

14: That 90s Show (Netflix) is about as good as That 80s Show

Mar 09 2023 28 mins

I’m not gonna hold you… but this show was awful. It was probably the worst show we’ve discussed on our podcast. But, that didn’t stop use from having a good time discussing it, and taking our usual barrage of tangents. We discussed the origin of television laugh tracks, “The Bill Cosby Show” (not “The Cosby Show”), the makers of Uno trying to tell Black people they
