    Movies Dominate the 2026 NAACP Image Awards: MBJ, Sinners, & Viola Davis | SEATED Podcast | Ep. 23

    At the 57th annual NAACP Image Awards hosted by Deon Cole, the film Sinners swept the ceremony as the night's biggest winner with Michael B. Jordan taking home the highly coveted Entertainer of the Year award. Focusing tightly on the movie-related moments of the ceremony, hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. draw a sharp contrast between the tone of this year's Image Awards' unapologetic celebration of Black art as a response to the recent BAFTAs n-word controversy. They also debate exactly who the target audience is for this type of telecast and share their critical thoughts on what it would take to make the broadcast a more exciting viewing experience for the audience at home.   JOIN THE SEATED MOVIE CLUB https://www.seatedshow.com/join   CONNECT Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seatedshow, Website: https://www.seatedshow.com Email: holla@seatedshow.com   CREDITS Hosts: Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr.  Produced by: Slayzhon and FiftyLeven Media Editor: Ray Love Jr. Theme Music: Buckroll Animation: Agung Adhi Location Partner: The WalkGood Yard ( @WalkGoodLA ) Creative Consultant: Jade Fox ( ⁨@iamjadefox⁩  ) Publicity: House of Heralds   JOIN THE SEATED MOVIE CLUB https://www.seatedshow.com/join

Starring pop icon Charli xcx in a gritty, pulsating performance that brings her signature club-kid energy to the big screen, the film explores the intoxicating, chaotic, and often dangerous highs of sudden viral stardom.

    28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE Movie Review + SEND HELP | SEATED Podcast | Ep. 21

    Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. gear up for a terrifying trip to a post-apocalyptic Britain in this week's spoiler-free review of 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE. Directed by Nia DaCosta, the highly anticipated horror sequel plunges us into the lawless mainland where a young survivor is captured by a sadistic, track-suited cult of killers. Meanwhile, a solitary doctor (Ralph Fiennes) attempts to find a cure—and some humanity—in an infected "Alpha" inside a massive, macabre monument made of skulls. Ray and Tre'vell brave the rage virus to unpack the film's chaotic and bloody world. They ask the central question: Can a fresh, Black directorial vision actually breathe new life into the apocalypse, or is it getting suffocated by the machine of an accelerated franchise rollout? Tune in for their verdict: is this infected nightmare a "Seated," "Stream It," or a "Skip It?" Plus, the hosts play a special "Who Said That?!" edition of the Black Cinema Games, highlighting Nia DaCosta's directorial catalog.

    THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE Movie Review + 2026 Oscars Nominations | SEATED Podcast | Ep. 20

    Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. prepare for a spiritual awakening in this week's review of THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE. Starring Amanda Seyfried in a transcendent performance as the founder of the Shakers, the film paints a lush, reverent portrait of a woman claiming her divinity against the backdrop of the 18th century. Ray and Tre'vell explore the quiet power of the biopic, but can't help wondering about who usually receives this specific type of soft, prestigious lighting. They ask the central question: What would it actually look like to give a Black woman this kind of cinematic grace? Tune in for their verdict: is this religious drama a "Seated," "Stream It," or a "Skip It?" Plus, the hosts play a special "Five On It" edition of the Black Cinema Games, highlighting Black films that share similar spiritual themes. Finally, they close the show with Good Vibes Only, sharing what's bringing them joy this week.   JOIN THE SEATED MOVIE CLUB https://www.seatedshow.com/join 00:00:08 - Skip Intro 00:00:53 - 2026 Oscars Nominations 00:21:50 - The Testament of Ann Lee Movie Review (Spoiler Free) 00:44:02 - Seated, Skip It, Stream It Verdict 00:46:50 - Rotten Tomatoes Ratings 00:47:25 - Black Critic Spotlight: Sarah Vincent, SarahGVincentReviews.com 00:48:33 - Black Cinema Games: Five On It 00:58:21 - Good Vibes Only: Life Is Not a Fairytale: The Fantasia Barrino Story (2006), Sol And The Gang CONNECT Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seatedshow, Website: https://www.seatedshow.com Email: holla@seatedshow.com   CREDITS Hosts: Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr.  Produced by: Slayzhon and FiftyLeven Media Editor: Ray Love Jr. Theme Music: Buckroll Animation: Agung Adhi Location Partner: The WalkGood Yard ( @WalkGoodLA ) Creative Consultant: Jade Fox ( ⁨@iamjadefox⁩  ) Publicity: House of Heralds APPENDIX The Testament of Ann Lee starring Amanda Seyfried (Directed by Mona Fastvold) All Day Movie Stay by Chris K. aka Chris Cinema  Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit starring Whoopi Goldberg, Lauryn Hill, Sheryl Lee Ralph (Directed by Bill Duke) Honk for Jesus.

    HAMNET Movie Review + SONG SUNG BLUE and BLKNEWS: TERMS & CONDITIONS | SEATED Podcast | Ep. 19

    Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. travel back to 16th-century England for this week's review of HAMNET. Starring Jessie Buckley as the fierce, intuition-led Agnes and Pedro Pascal as her drifting playwright husband, the film offers a lyrical look at the devastating loss that sparked a masterpiece. Ray and Tre'vell look beyond the period costumes to grapple with the film's heavy emotional toll. They ask the hard questions: Is the "tortured genius" actually worth the trauma they inflict on their family? And why is that specific archetype—the brilliant artist whose greatness excuses their absence—a title seldom explored through Black narratives in film? Tune in for their verdict: is this literary adaptation a "Seated," "Stream It," or a "Skip It?" Plus, the hosts play a special "Same Energy" edition of the Black Cinema Games, highlighting Black films that mirror the themes of Hamnet. Finally, they close the show with Good Vibes Only, sharing what's bringing them joy this week.   JOIN THE SEATED MOVIE CLUB https://www.seatedshow.com/join 00:00:00 - Editor's Note 00:00:27 - Show Intro 00:01:22 - Fresh Out: Song Sung Blue 00:05:46 - Fresh Out: BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions 00:09:35 - Hamnet Review (Spoiler Free) 00:44:16 - Seated, Skip It, Stream It Verdict 00:45:42 - Rotten Tomatoes Rating 00:46:42 - Black Critic Spotlight: Tim Cogshell, LAist/FilmWeek 00:47:55 - Black Cinema Games: Same Energy 00:59:57 - Good Vibes Only: Origin (2023), Ghostlight (2024) CONNECT Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seatedshow, Website: https://www.seatedshow.com Email: holla@seatedshow.com   CREDITS Hosts: Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr.  Produced by: Slayzhon and FiftyLeven Media Editor: Ray Love Jr. Theme Music: Buckroll Animation: Agung Adhi Location Partner: The WalkGood Yard ( @WalkGoodLA ) Creative Consultant: Jade Fox ( ⁨@iamjadefox⁩  ) Publicity: House of Heralds MOVIES DISCUSSED Hamnet starring Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Jacobi Jupe, Noah Jupe (Directed by Chloé Zhao) Song Sung Blue starring Hugh Jackman, Kate Hudson (Directed by Craig Brewer)  BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions starring Shaunette Renée Wilson, Kaneza Schaal, Hope Giselle, Bria Samoné Henderson (Directed by Kahlil Joseph) Exhibiting Forgiveness starring André Holland, Andra Day, John Earl Jelks, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (Directed by Titus Kaphar) All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt starring Charleen McClure, Moses Ingram, Reginald Helms Jr., Zainab Jah, Sheila Atim, Chris Chalk (Directed by Raven Jackson) Fences starring Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, Stephen McKinley Henderson (Directed by Denzel Washington) Till starring Danielle Deadwyler, Jalyn Hall, Frankie Faison, Haley Bennett, Whoopi Goldberg (Directed by Chinonye Chukwu) Ghostlight starring Keith Kupferer, Dolly de Leon, Katherine Mallen Kupferer, Tara Mallen (Directed by Kelly O'Sullivan, Alex Thompson) Origin starring aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga, Audra McDonald, Niecy Nash-Betts, Nick Offerman, Blair Underwood (Directed by Ava DuVernay) The Deliverance starring Andra Day, Glenn Close, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Mo'Nique (Directed by Lee Daniels) Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School starring Mo'Nique   JOIN THE SEATED MOVIE CLUB https://www.seatedshow.com/join

    Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. review DEAD MAN'S WIRE, the new true-crime thriller starring Bill Skarsgård, with supporting turns from Colman Domingo and Myha'la. The duo contrasts the film with 2022's Breaking (starring John Boyega) to ask a central question: Who gets to be a "vigilante folk hero" and who becomes a "tragic martyr"? Does a "fight the system" narrative land differently when we know that, for Black folks, the police snipers usually don't miss? Tune in to hear if it's a "Seated," "Stream It," or "Skip It." Plus, the tables have turned as Tre'vell puts Ray in the hot seat for the Colman Domingo edition of Black Cinema Games, and they close out with Good Vibes Only.
