Episode 107: To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995)

Like phoenixes rising from the littered ashes of Oscars discourse‬ and Russo Brothers slop, we've triumphantly emerged from Cinema Purgatory™ for our 7th year to, once again, fill the internet airwaves with our hot takes on film. 

In this week's episode we're talking friendship, heart chakras, and bra money in One of Them Days (2025), directed by Lawrence Lamont and starring Keke Palmer and SZA in her film debut. In the grand tradition of 1 day buddy comedies, this movie follows Dreux and Alyssa as they try to recover their stolen rent money before they're evicted. 

Also in this episode: we wonder when we'll get more mid-budget comedies, and would we wear a Cucci t-shirt?

Our recommendations: Friday (1995), Friday After Next (2002), After Hours (1985)

Episode 115: One of Them Days

BOO YOW! 👸🏾👸🏾

On today's episode, we look back to another 90s Black Movie Classic – B.A.P.S. (1997) directed by Robert Townsend and starring Halle Berry, Natalie Desselle-Reid, and Martin Landau. In this film, Nisi (Berry) and Mickey (Desselle-Reid) make the big jump from Atlanta to L.A. and attempt to make their dreams come true but get caught up in a scam involving an aging multi-millionaire and his sinister nephew. 

B.A.P.S. is iconic for few reasons but how does it hold up in 2025? We try to get to the bottom of some alleged script changes, talk about Black girl glamour, and plead for Halle Berry to take more comedic roles!

Our recommendations: Disorderlies (1987), Romy and MIchelle's High School Reunion (1997), Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar (2021)
