    Episode 26: Sips & Scripts — Season 5 Premiere

    White Movies That Black People Heavily Love (Whether Hollywood Planned It or Not) “They weren’t made for us… but they were absolutely claimed by us.” We’re back!! This week on Sips & Scripts, we’re kicking off Season 5 with a list episode that’s already chaotic in the group chat: White Movies That Black People HeavilyF*ck With (aka Films That Accidentally Became Ours). From Cher Horowitz being spiritually adopted by Black girls everywhere, to Harry Potter belonging to Black Hermione before Hollywood caught up, to Grease, Forrest Gump, The Craft, and The Devil Wears Prada living rent-free in our cultural canon—we’re breaking down whycertain films crossed racial marketing lines and landed squarely in Black hearts, homes, and memes. We’re talking nostalgia, cable TV upbringing, problematic faves, characters we claimed as cousins, and the moviesthat raised us whether they meant to or not. ✨ Season 5 Premiere!🗓️ Sunday, February 22nd @ 3PM EST📺 Live on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.🎧 Miss it live?

    🎄🎤 “Christmas chaos, cousin drama & a broke-boy holiday miracle…”This week on Sips & Scripts, we’re stepping straight into the hood holiday classic Friday After Next (2002) — the movie that proves Christmas can still be merry even when your rent is due, your presents got stolen, and your landlord is threatening you with her freshly released-from-prison son. From Craig and Day-Day’s dusty security jobs to Money Mike’s pink-suit pimp chronicles to Damon’s “fresh out and WAY too friendly” energy… we’re breaking down every scam, every squabble, and every wild moment this Christmas Eve delivers. ✨ Cocktail: Today’s sip is Ms. Pearly’s Peach Threat — a sweet-but-disrespectful peach lemonade cocktail that will have you yelling “PAY ME MY RENT!” after one sip.✨ Guest: No guest today — it’s just me and Terrell holding it down while Jeff is out on assignment. Pour up something festive and slightly petty, because this episode is pure holiday foolishness from start to finish. 🎄🔥🍹 #FridayAfterNext #IceCube #MikeEpps #SipsAndScriptsPodcast #HoodClassics #ChristmasMovies #Comedy #BlackCulture #MovieTalk #PodcastVibes #SipsAndScriptsmas
