Keeping it 100
Honestly, one of my favorite podcasts! Not only does it pull me into movies that I wanted to watch anyway, but it’s like having a conversation with your friends outside the theater. The 3 hosts are funny, personable, and offer wonderful insight to movie going and the black experience! 50/10 stars, if I could! Sometimes I take mental health days from work to watch a movie and then listen to Black Men Can’t Jump! So thank you for the fantastic content!!
SMH

T.P. is awful
You all must review Mea Culpa. I need to hear your commentary. 😂🤣
