With the show still on hiatus in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA strike, we're replaying one of our favorites: 2017's Girls Trip!
Original Description: Special guest Monique Moses (IFC Sports Court, Astronomy Club) joins the boys to review the new film Girls Trip starring Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Tiffany Haddish. In a year where Rough Night and Snatched "disappointed expectations", we discuss the significance of the box office success of Girls Trip, the breakout performance of Tiffany Haddish, whether or not there is such a thing as "boy humor" and if this film helped the cause!

James and Jonathan are joined by Andrew Dismukes (SNL) to discuss the 2023 White Men Can't Jump remake, directed by Calmatic from a script by Kenya Barris, Doug Hall, and Ron Shelton. The film reworks Shelton's 1992 Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson, and Rosie Perez vehicle of the same name. Calmatic's version stars Sinqua Walls, Jack Harlow, and Lance Reddick. James, Jon, and Andrew explore the comedy beats that land, the comedy beats that don't, and what such a major remake skipping a theatrical release to go to Hulu says about the state of movies.

Customer Reviews
can i give six stars?!?!
discovered thru blank check a month ago and have listened to *nothing* else since! these guys are so funny that my face sometimes hurts from laughing (omg, the cats episode…) then you realize that they’re intelligent and insightful and use comedy as a vehicle to help people open their eyes to the more insidious racism and sexism in movies. funny and enlightening-wow! SIX STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Help a black man out!!!
Mannnnnn Patreon to much work!!! Can y’all brotha’s set up and Apple plus page! Ain’t nobody trying to be going back in forth from app to app lol! Appreciate it! Love the show but y’all need to review some black tv shows now too! It won’t let me give y’all 6 stars either
Love this show, hate paywalls
I had a bunch of episodes I was waiting to listen to until I caught up on the movies. Now they are all behind a paywall. I’ll still enjoy new episodes, but I’m reducing costs atm so I can’t do a sub. Maybe I’ll catch the episodes I missed if they get cycled to free like HDTGM does with their eps?
Anyway, great show with 3 great hosts who I discovered as fun guests on other movie pods. Don’t let the limited number available of episodes dissuade you from enjoying what is available. They manage to balance their playful dynamics with thoughtful looks at the movie’s’ impact. They aren’t above calling out filmmakers and movies they live for not doing enough.
