    The Soundtrack That Raised Us: Waiting to Exhale

    Some movies gave us unforgettable moments—but Waiting to Exhale gave us a soundtrack that felt like group therapy before group chats existed. This week, we’re revisiting the songs that defined 90s womanhood, friendship, and emotional release—no ashtray required. On this bonus episode of No More Late Fees, hosts Jackie and Danielle are joined by Meah and Trish from the Shit Black Girls Watch podcast to deep-dive into the iconic Waiting to Exhale soundtrack. Produced by Babyface and stacked with legendary voices, this album didn’t just support the film—it became the emotional backbone for an entire generation. From tear-stained car rides to “I quit” anthems, these songs hit different then and still hit now. Throughout the episode, the crew drafts their MVP tracks, debates best vocal performances, crowns underrated gems, and assigns very specific life uses to each song—like quitting a job, dragging a man on the phone, or calling your best friend after everything falls apart. Along the way, they share behind-the-scenes facts, personal nostalgia, character-driven context from the film, and plenty of funny, passionate fandom hot takes about Mary J. Blige, Brandy, Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston, SWV, and more. If you love 90s R&B, movie soundtracks that carry emotional weight, pop culture nostalgia, and smart, funny conversations rooted in friendship and lived experience, this episode belongs on your playlist.

    Waiting to Exhale

    On this episode of No More Late Fees, we’re breathing deeply into Waiting to Exhale, the film that centered Black women’s friendships, love lives, ambition, and mess long before group chats and social media think pieces. Joined by Meah and Trish from the Sh*t Black Girls Watch podcast, we rewatch the movie through adult eyes and ask the hard questions our younger selves weren’t ready for. We break down the cultural impact and box office legacy of Waiting to Exhale, including why critics were split while audiences showed up in droves. We dig into behind-the-scenes trivia about the cast, Forrest Whitaker’s directorial debut, and Terry McMillan’s influence on the era’s Black rom-com renaissance. We analyze each main character—Bernadine, Savannah, Robin, and Gloria—calling out the dating red flags, emotional blind spots, and moments that hit very differently on a modern rewatch. And yes, we talk about that car-burning scene, the soundtrack supremacy, and the fandom debates that still spark heated group chats. This episode blends nostalgia, sharp character analysis, and funny commentary as we explore why Waiting to Exhale was revolutionary for its time—and why it still resonates, frustrates, and sparks conversation today. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, leave us a review, and share the show with the friend who made you watch Waiting to Exhale for the first time. Tell us which character you related to most then—and which one you side-eye now.
