MK335: STILL Doin it for Ourselves! (Russell City, The 355, Insecure Finale, Yellow Jackets, Rotten Tomatoes)

Lady spies + Jessica Chastain = has James written all over it as Nnekay already knew, James would LOVE the new action film The 355! Why didn't this move get any hype? Why are we still dealing with the double standard in hollywood? Is Rotten tomatoes irrelevant now? Can't we just enjoy movies for ourselves? Next up is Yellow Jackets, the Showtime series that’s part Lost, part Mean Girls, part Lord of the Flies, and has us hooked! Insecure has ended. We unpack this groundbreaking series and it’s ending. In the main korner Nnekay educates us on Russell City, originally established as a community for Danish immigrants, was a town in the west coast that turned into a vibrant black neighborhood, but what happened to it? Racism. Guest Co-Host: Nnekay FitzClarke (she/her) The MK OG, Nnekay Ayana FitzClarke, Esq. Here to bring all the hoes to the yard with my thoughts, thots, and hots. A librarian, mother, and crafter with an etsy store that you should check out and buy my stuff. Also promote it. She wants to get that sponsorship goodness.

Monday Mini-sode 4: Airline Fee Name Change

Yawn and stretch and try to come to life, it's time for another Monday Mini-sode! With both hosts in the same room for the first time! First, thanks to everyone for sending in suggestions for Wi-Fives! It's nice to be reminded of the positivity that can exist in the world! In a weird story this week, a dude legally changed his name to avoid paying a ridiculous airline fee to change the name on his ticket. We're not sure how we feel about this, but it eventually leads to teleporting to Boise. Thanks for joining us!

Birth with Kate Berlant

We are joined by the wonderful comedian, writer, and actor Kate Berlant. She's on the show to talk about the underappreciated Jonathan Glazer film, Birth. April and Kate dive right into this truly unique movie about a woman who's dead husband may have come back as a 10 year old boy. They make the case for this being Nicole Kidman's best performance as the role is so perfectly catered to her. They discuss the inspired vision of Jonathan Glazer and how he was the only one who could make this film. The two talk about Kate's role in Sorry to Bother You and her short film series 555. Kate elaborates on what goes into writing comedy and the kinds of white people she makes fun of. Plus, she explains why she feels compelled to make silly faces as a form of protest. You can watch 555 on Vimeo now. Check out Kate in Sorry to Bother You And if you haven't seen it yet, go watch Birth With April Wolfe with Kate Berlant, You can let us know what you think of Switchblade Sisters at @SwitchbladePod on Twitter.
