    Rewind: Brown Sugar (2002)

    A few months ago, Mike and Toy recorded an episode after watching Brown Sugar. Toy loves Rom Coms and this is one of her favorites. She mentioned this review during the You, Me, and Tuscany review so it felt like the time to release it. **Note** This should be the last episode we release that wasn't recorded on the studio mic. Unless we do special immediate reaction episodes.

    You, Me, & Tuscany

    Mike and Toy return with a big one. Discourse online about You, Me, and Tuscany made it clear that the industry may be impacted by the performance of the Black-led romantic comedy. Stakes or not, we planned to see the film. We were unable to see it during the weekend but good word of mouth encouraged us to get to it mid-week so we could put our two cents in. Light, funny, entertaining. We had a lot of feelings about this one. Yes, there are spoilers. Enjoy! Starring: Halle Bailey, Rege-Jean Page Additional Cast: Lorenzo de Moor, Marco Calvani, Isabella Ferrari, Paolo Sassanelli, Stefania Casini, Stella Pecollo, Aziza Scott Directed by: Kat Coiro Written by: Ryan Engle and Kristin Engle Quick Synopsis: When a woman crashes at an empty Italian villa, posing as the owner's fiancée, she discovers an unexpected romance that could transform her life.

    Danielle Nicolet Interview + Long Time Listener Review

    Mike and Toy are back with their first episode after the rebrand, and it is a big one. The pair reviewed the upcoming release from AMC's ALLBLK, "Long Time Listener," and interviewed director Danielle Nicolet (The Flash, Central Intelligence). This was Nicolet's feature directorial debut, so we talked about her transition behind the camera- the good and the bad. At the end, we got into some less movie-related questions- like, what flavor she would be if she had to choose. This was a spoiler-free review since the movie isn't out yet, but we'll be back with a deeper dive after the movie premieres on ALLBLK on April 2nd. It's hard to do a spoiler-free review of a murder mystery, but we promise we didn't give anything away. Long Time Listener Review (00:00)Danielle Nicolet Interview (20:33)Starring: Meagan Holder, Lyriq Bent, Danielle Nicolet, and Cleo Berry Additional Cast: Lisha Wheeler, Keyara Milliner, Lucy Faust, and John Charles II Directed by: Danielle Nicolet Written by: John Doolan and Joe Narode Quick Synopsis: A true crime podcast host gets dangerously close to an unsolved murder case when she discovers the murderer is also a listener.
