Speaker B:From here on out, we'll be discussing the film in depth.
Speaker B:So spoilers ahead.
Speaker B:We know people don't like the spoilers.
Speaker B:Okay, spoilers ahead.
Speaker B:And as always, you have been warmed.
Speaker B:Are y' all ready?
Speaker A:Yep.
Speaker E:Yeah, I'm ready.
Speaker B:All right, I'm ready to jump into my first question.
Speaker B:Okay, so what was everyone's initial reaction to the film?
Speaker C:I'll go first.
Speaker D:I saw it on the plane.
Speaker C:I was.
Speaker D:I think I was going to Puerto Rico and.
Speaker E:Yep.
Speaker D:And it just happened to be on the thing.
Speaker D:I was like, this looks interesting.
Speaker D:So I watched it and I actually watched it without my headphones because I didn't have headphones.
Speaker D:So I was reading the subtitles the whole time.
Speaker D:So I was dying, like, laughing, you know?
Speaker A:Cause I did.
Speaker D:I couldn't hear their voices, but I just like imagined it.
Speaker D:But it gave me Friday vibes.
Speaker D:Next Friday, Craig and Dae D, like, all day.
Speaker B:Yep.
Speaker B:I've heard that from other reviews.
Speaker B:Thank you for that.
Speaker C:Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, literally, when I read this question that it gave the female version of Friday, next Friday, Ice Cube, you know, sitting on the porch, chilling and modern day version of it.
Speaker C:And.
Speaker C:And a bit of Insecure too, because we don't get too many options.
Speaker C:Any of the black girl comedies.
Speaker C:I'm like thinking, girls trip.
Speaker C:I'm thinking, you know, coming to that.
Speaker C:But it wasn't bad.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:And I got to watch it with my sister and my mom, so we were rolling, laughing.
Speaker B:But that's awesome.
Speaker B:Thank you.
Speaker E:I'm such a last minute person.
Speaker E:I literally watched on Saturday because I am the type where I'm like, I need the hype to go down a little bit so I can immerse into it before I hear anybody's opinions, but it was the funniest thing I've watched.
Speaker E:Ridiculous.
Speaker E:Just seeing everybody, like, especially with the cast, I was like, oh, my gosh, A lot of people are in this movie.
Speaker E:So definitely Friday.
Speaker E:Yes.
Speaker E:But I kept saying it's an extended version of Insecure.
Speaker E:Just because, of course, like, the jungles, the dunes, you know, all those reference.
Speaker B:Points, those cultural markers.
Speaker C:Isn't that the same Dunes?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:I didn't realize that it was co produced with or Israel until later.
Speaker C:You know, what's going on in the news now.
Speaker B:So I feel like it definitely gives the Issa Rae vibe.
Speaker B:Oh, yeah.
Speaker B:You're sort of looking at it like, okay, we're all sort of, like, in the same realm of even when an insecure would be happening.
Speaker B:So I think it helps with the placement of the film when we think about it in that way.
Speaker B:And so talking about placement as well, and visibility, I'm wondering how you all felt about this sense of power of black sisterhood and community care that sort of comes across in the film.
Speaker B:So when you were watching it, what immediately comes to mind for you and what did you appreciate in that regard?
Speaker C:I like the fact that they overall had each other's back.
Speaker C:You know, those moments where they can finish each other's sentences, look across the room or damn across the street and be like, girl.
Speaker C:No.
Speaker C:Like, you know those moments where you have that type of sisterhood, whether it's sisterhood or just people in your community, your homie, your friend in black culture.
Speaker C:At least I know for black culture, because that's what I am.
Speaker C:That's what we do.
Speaker C:You know, bodily gestures just were high points of the comedic experience.
Speaker B:Yes, definitely high points for me.
Speaker B:I love a comedic experience.
Speaker B:And this was one in word of.
Speaker E:Go ahead.
Speaker D:I'm still thinking.
Speaker E:For me, it was just the raw emotions.
Speaker E:Sorry.
Speaker E:It was the raw emotions that they had for each other.
Speaker E:Like.
Speaker E:Like, sisterhood isn't always perfect.
Speaker E:That's something I realized, especially.
Speaker E:I'm the oldest of three girls, so.
Speaker E:Same look, you have those moments where you get into fights, you cuss each other out, or, you know, you get down on each other.
Speaker E:One super.
Speaker E:Like, I'm.
Speaker E:This is the plan.
Speaker E:We're sticking to the plan.
Speaker E:The other ones, let the universe or let God have it.
Speaker E:Like, you know, so it's very much of just, like, letting things happen, you know, and the archetypes, like, I love that there were so many different archetypes to them both.
Speaker E:You know, like, it wasn't just the Stereotypical, like, there was, you know, and Drew, who is a hard worker.
Speaker E:She works for what she wants.
Speaker E:And then we have Elise.
Speaker A:Elise, Alyssa.
Speaker E:Alyssa.
Speaker E:Sorry.
Speaker E:Then we have Alyssa, who's, like, the spiritual one, who's like, you know, let things happen.
Speaker E:Don't think.
Speaker E:Take everything so serious, you know, so having those dynamics.
Speaker E:And I love that we got to see different versions of sisterhood.
Speaker E:Like, Mama.
Speaker E:What was it?
Speaker A:Mama.
Speaker E:What was her name?
Speaker E:She was one who had, like, the bodega, like, in her.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker E:And, like, how she helped them out, you know, with their troubles.
Speaker E:Whether that was, like, them pouring into her little store or towards the end, they were like, we don't have a place to stay.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker E:You could crash here.
Speaker E:You know, so.
Speaker E:So many different ways of sisterhood.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:I'd have to say the same.
Speaker D:I don't know if there's any one point that stood out to me, because I just think about when they kind of had like, a little fallout towards the end, but then they brought it back together.
Speaker D:Like, they were still, like, you know, tight like glue.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker D:Yeah, I really appreciated that, that they didn't let their friendship get entirely ruined.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker C:Plus, when it was go time, like, they just had a mutual, you know, offense, like, yo, we got each other's back.
Speaker C:We'll deal with that later.
Speaker C:Right, exactly.
Speaker B:Which is key.
Speaker B:Which is key.
Speaker B:I think that helps with what Coco was saying about the raw emotion we might be feeling one way, but if we're really friends, if we're really sisters, we're gonna move through this next thing, and then we'll actually come back to what needs to be discussed.
Speaker B:And so, for me, it came across as, like, accountability, what that looks like in different spaces, as well as the hyping each other up throughout the process.
Speaker B:And I definitely could appreciate the sisterhood that comes across throughout the film.
Speaker B:So even with the final woman, Shayla, coming to the ending barbecue, Right.
Speaker B:It's sort of like saying, you know, I wanted to come check this out.
Speaker B:I had no idea that you were connected to putting this together.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker B:And so she gives her a chance.
Speaker E:After that, which was really nice, because she could have just let her rock, but she was like, no, let me.
Speaker C:All right.
Speaker C:But then I wonder, even with that Shayla woman, you know, if she had known that was her event, would she have shown up?
Speaker B:Good question.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker C:She probably wouldn't have.
Speaker C:And that's unfortunate when it comes to the Sisterhood site.
Speaker C:I'm glad that it was beautiful to see.
Speaker C:And as far as the sisterhood, the arts Side being heavy in the arts, you know, your sister telling you, yo, you should be charging more.
Speaker C:You know, that was a big point that really resonated with all of us.
Speaker C:Seeing, like, your work is so beautiful.
Speaker C:Why are you giving it away?
Speaker B:And seeing our work as important enough to charge?
Speaker C:Right?
Speaker C:And she didn't have that confidence.
Speaker C:But, you know, her friend came through and really showed up for her.
Speaker E:She did.
Speaker E:Even in the beginning, like, with the sneakers, when.
Speaker E:What's it her like.
Speaker B:Oh, the sneakers.
Speaker E:And they were hanging on her paintings and stuff.
Speaker E:So I love that.
Speaker C:That's true.
Speaker C:That's true.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:I'm sitting here and, like, listening to, you know, you mention about valuing, you know, each other's work and then also wanting to see you be great, right?
Speaker A:By saying, okay, well, it's worth more.
Speaker A:You know, this is worth more.
Speaker A:Your service is worth more.
Speaker A:You know, your talent is worth more.
Speaker A:And the four of us sitting here, like, right?
Speaker A:Like four, I mean, all of us, right, are working women.
Speaker B:But.
Speaker A:But I'm like, I'm speaking, like, directly to, of course, four of us being photographers, artists, right?
Speaker A:Like, you know, constantly being like, okay, well, what are you charging for this, Girl?
Speaker A:You need to, like, raise your.
Speaker A:You raise your prizes.
Speaker A:Like, you know, not everyone.
Speaker A:Not everyone is your customer or client.
Speaker A:You know, today's price is today's price.
Speaker A:Like, or today's.
Speaker A:What is it?
Speaker C:Yesterday's price is not today's price.
Speaker A:Right, that's right.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker D:Exactly.
Speaker A:I can't tell you how many conversations, especially with you, Coco, that I've gotten into, where you're like, girl, you need to, like, talk up your work.
Speaker A:Because there'll be so many times where I'm just like, in a setting, right?
Speaker A:And, you know, some people may know that I'm a photographer, but I don't always talk about the filmmaking side.
Speaker A:And then.
Speaker A:Or I'll talk, hey, I'm a filmmaker.
Speaker A:And she'll be like, award winning, award winning filmmaker.
Speaker A:And I'm like, that's right.
Speaker A:No, you're right.
Speaker A:You're right.
Speaker B:That's important.
Speaker E:Put respect on it.
Speaker E:Put respect on it.
Speaker C:Hey.
Speaker B:I was wondering, right?
Speaker B:So while we're talking about some of this, I think this very particular moment, right, where we do get to see.
Speaker B:See the artwork being valued and it bringing the community together.
Speaker B:I want to talk about this unforgettable grassroots fundraising moment.
Speaker B:It felt like a digital age rent party.
Speaker B:And so we were able to sort of join in on the party.
Speaker B:And as we're talking about, you know, centers and being in the conversation of centers, even the club and juke joint portion took us to another place.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:It took us to things that were familiar or things, you know, that we.
Speaker B:That we see within our communities that do actually happen.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:Our communities do actually lift each other up.
Speaker B:They do come together and in these moments in different ways.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:And so everyone might not have known they were getting evicted, but they came out to still support.
Speaker B:And so, yeah.
Speaker B:Just what did you all think about that moment, that fundraising grassroots situation?
Speaker C:I thought it was beautiful.
Speaker C:It was very inspiring.
Speaker C:And wanting to see it happen in real life, I'm like, yo, what did y' all do?
Speaker C:What Facebook page is what hashtag to.
Speaker B:Get that many people out?
Speaker C:It was real dope, you know?
Speaker C:And then there was even moments where I'm rooting for it, like, girl, no, $300.
Speaker C:No, it needs to be higher than that.
Speaker C:That man is ready to throw money at you, like, raise the price.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker D:Anyway, I thought it was extremely clever.
Speaker D:I thought it was.
Speaker D:It just reminded me of me.
Speaker D:I was like, this is some shit I would do, like, especially in that type of vibe.
Speaker A:That.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker D:That type of situation.
Speaker A:Circumstance.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker D:I know.
Speaker D:I've been in that predicament, you know, like, okay, let's raise some money for art, or this is how we'll make it, you know?
Speaker D:So, yeah, it was beautiful.
Speaker B:And relying on the community that surrounds you.
Speaker D:Yes.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:To do it.
Speaker D:I want to see it happen in real life.
Speaker D:I'm with Dominique.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:And.
Speaker C:And also, the.
Speaker C:It wasn't just the black community.
Speaker C:Even the new neighbor that they had, instead of looking at her as an outsider, she actually became a resource and making that happen.
Speaker C:So that was dope.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:You know, I was gonna mention that part.
Speaker B:She sort of came in on the.
Speaker B:They were shady a little bit at first.
Speaker B:They didn't trust her.
Speaker B:I mean, I've been in that predicament, you know, they were sort of like, hold on now.
Speaker C:We did background music they used when she was coming in.
Speaker C:I was.
Speaker C:I was rolling.
Speaker C:It was funny.
Speaker B:But she comes in in the clutch, you know, and just sort of builds a connection, but is also.
Speaker C:She didn't even notice the shade, though.
Speaker B:Right, Right.
Speaker B:But I think she is also trying to become one with the community in a way that's not, you know, typically appropriating of the community, but supporting and uplifting.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:The residents and folks that need it.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:She want to be one of the crew.
Speaker B:So the cookout to a lot of us is usually more than a meal.
Speaker B:And y' all Know, on the conversations on the socials.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker B:We always talk about who we invite into the cookout.
Speaker B:And sometimes we need to revoke these invitations.
Speaker A:Listen, if sinners didn't teach y' all.
Speaker B:Anything about an invitation.
Speaker A:Not everybody gets an invitation.
Speaker A:Not all money is good money.
Speaker A:I don't care if you think you're helping somebody.
Speaker A:Like, I'm sorry, you can't just invite anybody to cry out.
Speaker B:And so with that is this.
Speaker B:Do you all see the cookout as a sacred space for the neighborhood?
Speaker B:As sort of a.
Speaker B:You know, we've seen when cookouts have been infiltrated actually, you know, by folks by wanting to shut down the joy that is happening.
Speaker B:And so I thought about that as well, just who they were inviting to the neighborhood, because it seemed like her connects were sort of more possibly posh and folks with money to buy the painting, because that's an important aspect.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker B:If we're really thinking about who the party was for, the party was for the neighborhood.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:So the neighborhood came to party, but the neighborhood was also for stakeholders who could purchase set paintings.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:Do we believe that those who lived in the neighborhood could purchase such art now at its value?
Speaker B:And so just some of the conversation about that.
Speaker B:What do you think about the cookout as being a sacred neighborhood space?
Speaker C:Gentrification.
Speaker C:Let's be real.
Speaker C:I mean, the neighborhood who was actually at the Dunes could not afford.
Speaker C:They could be gifted.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker C:Those.
Speaker C:You know, as a thank you for letting us hold space with you.
Speaker C:But as far as who was coming into the space to make her some money?
Speaker B:No, this became a money making venture.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:We here for paying them bills, for sure.
Speaker B:That's what we open up.
Speaker B:Space and community.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker C:I know that was a tough word to use, but I mean, it was very much two different communities, you know, and at least there was no arguments or it was a.
Speaker C:It was a vibe, like it was a good experience that they all seem to be flowing.
Speaker C:And we need more of that.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker C:And in the real world, I don't think that happens as much.
Speaker B:I agree.
Speaker D:Unfortunately.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:Can we take a moment just to shout out any of the cameos that we saw in the film?
Speaker C:Hilarious.
Speaker A:Don't do it, girl.
Speaker E:Don't do it.
Speaker B:You know what I thought about him and people that have been, I don't know if I'm able to say, standing outside of Walmart, not Walmart, but target, telling other people, like, don't go in there.
Speaker B:I saw some videos of people early on.
Speaker B:I was like, don't go up in there.
Speaker B:I Saw Katt Williams sort of playing that role.
Speaker B:Don't y' all get caught up in this money making, in this money scheme with this payday loan?
Speaker C:Oh, wow.
Speaker E:But I also feel like his character, he always plays these very mystical characters where you're like, you think they're crazy, but then you're like, no, they're on to something, you know, and he's just popping up in these different spaces, like the sneakers.
Speaker E:And then, like, you know, letting him know, like, I'm glad you didn't, you know, sell yourself in that place.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker E:First of all, I would not go in that place with that percentage rate.
Speaker B:Are you tripping?
Speaker C:Like, what was it, 82% if.
Speaker B:No, it was.
Speaker B:It was high.
Speaker E:I was like, oh, no.
Speaker C:120%.
Speaker B:He does.
Speaker B:So that was lucky.
Speaker B:He played Lucky in the film.
Speaker B:Now, what about Janelle James shows up from Abbott Elementary?
Speaker A:Do I still have a job, sir?
Speaker A:Lying in that, it just had me cracking up.
Speaker A:I'm like, girl, no.
Speaker A:Like, there's no way.
Speaker C:Goodbye.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:She did a great job.
Speaker B:So I think for me, sometimes you just sort of like to see the cameos that pop up.
Speaker B:We also had Joshua David.
Speaker B:Joshua David Neal, who plays Kishan, who just says, oh, y' all gotta.
Speaker B:Sorry.
Speaker E:We are big Joshua fans.
Speaker E:We have been there since Tik Tok and this boy don't get up.
Speaker C:Who is he?
Speaker B:If he ever tunes in.
Speaker B:Did you hear that round of applause that happened?
Speaker A:You have.
Speaker A:You have big fans.
Speaker A:And myself and Coco, because, like, the skit.
Speaker A:Just the skits that he comes up with on Tik Tok are like, how are you coming up with this?
Speaker A:Like, and it's so.
Speaker A:It's so funny.
Speaker A:The comedic timing is on point.
Speaker A:Like, I.
Speaker A:When I first watched one of his videos, it's like, you watch one video and then you watch more because you're like, I gotta know, like, what other stuff, like, he's putting out there.
Speaker A:And it's all hilarious.
Speaker A:And so I.
Speaker A:When he was talking about, like, wanting to take, like, acting seriously and this is reason why he's, like, building up his Tick Tock page, I was like, God, he.
Speaker A:Like, he needs to be hired, like, expeditiously.
Speaker A:So to see him, like, get this role with someone as big as Issa Ray and Kiki Palmer and Sis, like, all these people, right?
Speaker A:Like, all of these people.
Speaker A:I just couldn't help but be, like, so, so proud of him.
Speaker B:And he had a hefty role.
Speaker A:Really, he did.
Speaker B:He was weaved throughout there a lot.
Speaker C:Okay, spoiler.
Speaker C:I need to know.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker E:Josh.
Speaker E:Joshua Neal.
Speaker B:So Joshua David Neal.
Speaker E:He is amazing.
Speaker E:TikTok.
Speaker E:I think it's Joshua Neal.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker E:And he.
Speaker E:He does acting.
Speaker E:All the acting is him.
Speaker E:He doesn't have any other content if he does, like, little cameos.
Speaker E:But it's all him screenwriting, everything, shots, all of it.
Speaker E:His very.
Speaker B:Yeah, he played that took the rich.
Speaker E:I was so mad about that move because of him.
Speaker E:I was like, oh, my gosh, what are you doing?
Speaker C:So his breakout role there.
Speaker E:Big breakout rule.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:He did a nice job.
Speaker C:I didn't know.
Speaker C:He was like, I'm not on TikTok.
Speaker B:He was hilarious.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:Him taking the.
Speaker B:And then the final sort of cameo that I spotted that I really liked again was Shayla, who actually was, you know, the person that they went to that Keke Palmer was trying to get the job from.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:That Drew was trying to, you know, that she interviewed with.
Speaker B:And she comes from the Game, and she played Janae.
Speaker B:I think it was Janae on the show the Game from back in the day.
Speaker B:And when we talk about characters that can play a role so good that sometimes you see them in other things and you're like, I do not like her.
Speaker B:It's not that I do not like her.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker B:I love Gabrielle Dennis.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:But the role she played in the game, she did that so well.
Speaker B:I didn't like her.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:Well, that's a testament to their testament.
Speaker A:It's like, if you are supposed to hate this character and you hate this character, that means that they collect their job.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker E:Okay.
Speaker B:For me.
Speaker B:And so she did a great job.
Speaker B:And we're just popping up.
Speaker B:It was good to see her popping up in the.
Speaker B:In this film.
Speaker E:Wasn't she in Black Girl Comedy sketch, too?
Speaker E:Yes, yes.
Speaker E:I was like, she's in Black Girl comedy Sketch.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:So this actually fits her, Lane.
Speaker E:Yep.
Speaker B:You know, this actually fits her Lane, I think, in this.
Speaker B:In this particular film.
Speaker C:So I just looked it up, and there was one other cameo with the guy named Tony Baker.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker E:I don't remember.
Speaker B:I love Tony Baker.
Speaker C:He was on.
Speaker A:So he is.
Speaker A:He's usually with Kev on stage.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker E:He's a comedian.
Speaker C:No, no, I know who he is.
Speaker C:Oh.
Speaker C:But I can't remember him.
Speaker E:In the movie Drive through, he was the guy giving the.
Speaker E:The Drive through, and then people.
Speaker A:And then that one guy would keep stealing it.
Speaker B:That part was hilarious.
Speaker B:That part was hilarious.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:And so for you, as we're talking about all these cameos and all this blackness on display, what did it feel for you to be watching this on, on screen, these different, like you said, these multi layered characters that we, we might be familiar to in our everyday lives but rarely get to maybe see sort of amplified on screen and just sort of blackness in all its forms.
Speaker B:In this particular film.
Speaker C:You might have to repeat that.
Speaker B:So for you, what did you feel?
Speaker B:I think seeing just the multitude of characters and performance of blackness that we get right, when we're viewing something like this.
Speaker B:So like you said, Drew herself was multi layered, right?
Speaker B:A go getter also the person that's gonna get things done.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:And then we got to see Sza sort of the spiritual artist, these sort of things.
Speaker B:And so we just get a lot of different members of the community, you know, in this community, all hard working, all different stations of life.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:So what does it see?
Speaker B:What does it do for you to see blackness on full display like that?
Speaker C:It's always wonderful.
Speaker C:I mean, you know, there's not too many film directors who are of color, who are making staples, I mean, not stable, but making an impact in our community and then bringing people and uplifting them as well.
Speaker C:So whether it's a comedic version or a drama role or what, what action, whatever field it is, just seeing it making mainstream, I'm happy to see it because we really don't have enough representation.
Speaker C:So it hurts to hear when like a director or filmmaker, producer is getting backlash on the other side.
Speaker C:Like, damn, what happened?
Speaker C:Oh, y' all screwed somebody over.
Speaker C:Oh, dang.
Speaker C:You know, because like, Issaree, she's all about our age.
Speaker C:So we know, we know people who know her or vice versa.
Speaker C:And same thing with Tyler Perry.
Speaker C:You know, there's Back Lash and good things and like, overall, they putting people on.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker B:And that's whether or not people enjoy the film, right?
Speaker B:Because I saw a lot of.
Speaker B:I saw a lot of, you know, harsh critiques that it wasn't funny again, that it was just another Friday or that they didn't get the plot line or, you know, all of these excuses are things to not enjoy the film.
Speaker B:Won't say excuses.
Speaker B:Everyone has their particular taste or preference.
Speaker B:But like you said, if nothing else, it's putting the people on.
Speaker B:It's putting people on that might not have the access to other, other types of films that they can be in.
Speaker C:And I also feel that, like, sometimes we get critiqued harsher because as far as the different categories of style of entertainment, we only got sprinkles of, you know, of things.
Speaker C:So if it's stupid funny, let it be Stupid funny anymore.
Speaker C:How many movies can you count on one hand that are like that.
Speaker C:That actually make you laugh?
Speaker C:Right?
Speaker C:Like, how weight.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker A:And there's so many other layers to it, too, which is why we have a podcast called Representation in Cinema.
Speaker A:But, like, on.
Speaker A:On that note, so, I mean, I'll never, like, miss an opportunity to shade Tyler Perry, because when I say I'm your biggest hair, but, like.
Speaker A:But the thing is, is, like, okay, so there's.
Speaker A:It's one thing to have representation, right?
Speaker A:But because I always go in, you know, to movies just like, you know, just.
Speaker A:I'm going to take it as it is and then.
Speaker A:And then go from there.
Speaker A:I. I'm always, like, semi worried about, okay, like, even though this is.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:This is a, you know, all black cast for the most part, like, how.
Speaker A:How are we seen?
Speaker A:How are we being perceived?
Speaker A:How is.
Speaker A:Or at least how am I perceiving, like, the black people in this movie, like, you know, are the caricatures, like, all these things?
Speaker A:And so I kind of go in with that sort of like, okay, who.
Speaker A:Who.
Speaker A:Who is in this?
Speaker A:How.
Speaker A:How are we being portrayed?
Speaker A:And.
Speaker A:And when I looked at this earlier when I was watching this film, and it was in.
Speaker A:It was in theaters, and I. I'm trying to remember.
Speaker A:I'm trying to remember if it was like, most of us, like, you know, how, like, I.
Speaker A:When I went in to, like, go see, like, for instance, the blackening, right?
Speaker A:It was all of us in there, and it was.
Speaker A:Or the woman King, like, it was all of us, and.
Speaker A:And so that was, you know, an amazing experience.
Speaker A:I think it was like a mixed.
Speaker A:It was definitely more of us in the.
Speaker A:When I went to go see the film, but, like, I just remember sitting back and going, oh, no, these women are, you know, they're creatives.
Speaker A:They're artists.
Speaker A:They're innovative.
Speaker A:Like, and of course, we know as black women, right, like, when we need stuff done, we get it done.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:That's a.
Speaker A:That's a given with us.
Speaker A:But, like, just to keep seeing, you know, okay, you know, this doesn't work out.
Speaker A:Let me try this.
Speaker A:Let me try this.
Speaker A:Let me try this.
Speaker A:And then on top of it, seeing community come together, like that type of representation, like you were saying, Dominique, we don't see a lot of it.
Speaker A:Or if it's.
Speaker A:If it isn't a film.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:It's not widely marketed.
Speaker A:It's not.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It's put on a streaming service that, you know, yeah.
Speaker A:List is on Tubi.
Speaker A:But then you don't get.
Speaker A:It doesn't get marketed.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:Or it gets on Netflix.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:It gets on Netflix like this, but they hide it.
Speaker A:So it's not even like it is.
Speaker A:It's both things.
Speaker A:It's weird not getting enough of this type of representation.
Speaker A:And also, any representation that we are getting that is authentic to us is not being pushed.
Speaker A:Right, Right.
Speaker A:I mean, yeah.
Speaker A:Spike Lee, right.
Speaker A:Is coming out with another film with Denzel Washington.
Speaker A:See, that's my exact point.
Speaker A:Highest to lowest is coming out Little Theater, Sunday, August 17th.
Speaker A:Anyway.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:At 3:00pm and 3:00pm Anywho.
Speaker A:Yeah, Lex and the series.
Speaker B:Be there.
Speaker A:Anyway, 3:00pm 3:00pm on Sunday the 17th.
Speaker A:Oh, okay.
Speaker A:But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker A:It's like the marketing.
Speaker A:Where is the marketing for this film?
Speaker A:This is.
Speaker D:It's Spike Lee and Denzel Washington anywhere.
Speaker A:Yeah, me either.
Speaker B:I'm gonna bring it back to something that Jackie already sort of touched on just to keep us sort of in that realm.
Speaker B:Because, you know, part of the conversation for me is actually.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Who you watched it with.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:And so we talk about being in a theater with us, right?
Speaker B:So I can remember going to see Black Panther, right.
Speaker B:And getting dressed up for the first Black Panther and being in there with a group.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:Of us.
Speaker B:And so that watching experience does a few things for me when I think about it.
Speaker B:So four particular things.
Speaker B:One, it allows you to connect with relatable moments and collective response.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:When certain things are funny, we know it's funny because we all sort of have a similar.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker B:Experience to that.
Speaker B:The second thing for me is always the energy of that then and Right.
Speaker B:So I'm able to, like, tap my friend next.
Speaker B:We like, girl, you remember that time, like, you know, so we're sort of rehashing in the theater together about maybe adventures we've had or adventures that people have had with, you know, other friends of theirs.
Speaker B:And so I went with a group of friends, right?
Speaker B:And so we all met each other.
Speaker B:And that, for me, a lot of times is the best ways to view these kind of film, these particular films, because we're all cracking up at some of the same moments.
Speaker B:And for me, that makes culture that much deeper.
Speaker B:Like, to me, it's like, okay, I know that we've all been through some of these things or we know somebody, right.
Speaker B:That represents that.
Speaker B:Another thing it does, I think, is, again, gives us the time for joy and reflection in unsettled times.
Speaker B:Collecting in a theater in the dark for an hour and a half to be unbothered.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:In whatever joy and moment that we have before we leave the theater.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:So what that feels like.
Speaker B:And then just the essential gathering as practice.
Speaker B:We gather for films like, you know, other groups of people, but we do it in our particular ways as well.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:We're going to gather and come together to have a laugh, to have a kiki.
Speaker B:And so, yeah, I sort of want to just get you all's thoughts and feelings about what it is to watch films as a collective.
Speaker B:So it's sort of this broader conversation.
Speaker B:And you mentioned who you watched it with.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:And so maybe even thinking about this experience, what was it like watching it with your mom and your sister and then anyone else that wants to chime in?
Speaker C:It gave a moment to reconnect and bond, you know, because sometimes it's always go, go, go, and getting a chance to sit down and relax and watch a comedic show that is of us.
Speaker C:Like, you know, we don't get those.
Speaker C:We just don't get those opportunities.
Speaker C:Often you put all the different variables of life sometimes.
Speaker C:Unfortunately, Netflix is not turned on at all.
Speaker C:You know, it's just go all the time.
Speaker C:So it was good.
Speaker C:And then, you know, my sister actually invited her to be on this podcast because she would have more to say than me, but she doesn't like to be on camera and stuff like that.
Speaker C:But, oh, my gosh, she's a movie buff.
Speaker C:Film buff, book.
Speaker C:And she was talking yappity yapped the whole movie.
Speaker C:I'm like, girl.
Speaker A:We need her.
Speaker B:We need her.
Speaker B:We'll have to talk her.
Speaker B:We'll have to talk to her.
Speaker C:Come through, sis.
Speaker C:Yeah, she's got a lot to say.
Speaker C:I would love you guys to be each other sometimes.
Speaker B:Thank you.
Speaker B:Anyone else?
Speaker B:Collective viewing.
Speaker B:What's that like for you?
Speaker D:Well, I didn't.
Speaker D:Yeah, like I said, I saw it on the plane, but, you know, just.
Speaker D:I think the last thing I saw collectively or in a group was get out.
Speaker B:Yes, we all know.
Speaker D:I mean, everyone was laughing at the same time or just like, you know, and then that ending when everybody was clapping in the theater, like, it was.
Speaker E:Just that camaraderie that.
Speaker C:That.
Speaker C:I don't know.
Speaker D:What is that?
Speaker C:Yeah, I'm gonna go with camaraderie, but.
Speaker B:We almost tore that theater up.
Speaker B:What are you talking about?
Speaker B:Clapping at the end and the moments of aha.
Speaker B:That were coming forth and get out.
Speaker B:That was a.
Speaker B:That was a very.
Speaker B:Like, some of us were like, y', all, this.
Speaker B:This is.
Speaker B:This is lit.
Speaker D:Yeah, that's the last one I remember for me.
Speaker D:Yeah, Gosh, that's kind of been a long time.
Speaker B:That's a good one.
Speaker B:Either of you.
Speaker E:Coco, Jackie, for me, like I said, I watched.
Speaker E:Well, I watched the movie on my own because I needed some self care day.
Speaker E:And I was like, I'm just gonna sit and watch that.
Speaker B:It's good for that too.
Speaker E:It was perfect.
Speaker E:And I got to, you know, sit and laugh.
Speaker E:And of course, for me, I usually talk to my mom and my sisters.
Speaker E:So I guess we're on the same length of bringing our sisters to the podcast because I was talking to them about it.
Speaker E:But especially my mom, she, she's always like, she used to always find movies for us to watch and that was our way of like, bonding and especially just my sisters and my mom, just us.
Speaker E:And we were talking about Attack the Black.
Speaker E:That's what she got us onto with that movie.
Speaker E:And just, even the suspense of that movie and the storytelling and you know, and then get out.
Speaker E:Yes, I've seen it three times.
Speaker E:Same reaction still.
Speaker E:And then of course, going to see the movie Sinners.
Speaker E:I saw that twice and seeing it in two different spots.
Speaker E:Like I saw it in Tinseltown the second time.
Speaker E:And there wasn't a lot of people, but there was a little bit of us sprinkled around, so the reactions were a little different.
Speaker E:I went to Webster to see it the first time.
Speaker E:So that was a big mixture of people.
Speaker E:And you could kind of tell, like, the energy a little bit with some of the scenes and stuff.
Speaker E:But it was very funny to hear like, people making comments, like, all over, you know, ha.
Speaker E:Oh my God.
Speaker E:Like, you know, all that stuff.
Speaker A:Oh my goodness.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:So, like, yeah.
Speaker A:And watching one of them days in theaters, I had a friend with me who, who is not black, but a person of color.
Speaker A:And like I said, there was a mix, like, of us in the audience, but there's definitely, we were definitely there.
Speaker A:And then just so, like, of course, like, yes, you're laughing at like, similar parts at some moments, you know, you're hearing and like, you know, it's, yeah, I, I, there's, there's a different energy when that happens.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:It makes, it not only makes like the, the experience just more enjoyable, but you know that you have like, others who resonate with you, like in a different way than maybe other people would.
Speaker A:You know, it's like, okay, you got, you got family in the room, you know.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:So it's always nice.
Speaker B:Thank you all for that.
Speaker B:And I think just one last thing to tip it off for me when I think about watching scenes like the cookout, and we're laughing, and we're.
Speaker B:Because we're watching the uncles queue on the grill.
Speaker B:We got uncles.
Speaker B:We watching kids run around.
Speaker B:We're watching these things happen in our neighborhood.
Speaker B:I think it also is just a reminder of what we're trying to protect as well as we watch in it, right?
Speaker B:We have joy about looking at what we actually are trying to preserve in real time, right?
Speaker B:As things are being dismantled and divided.
Speaker B:And so collective viewing does that for me as well.
Speaker B:It, like, it's a joyous reminder, right, of what we have and why it needs to be protected.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:So on that note, like always on the podcast, we like to.
Speaker A:Well, just like in general, we like to lift as we climb.
Speaker A:And so we close out our podcast with promoting each and every one of you.
Speaker A:So we're gonna go around the table here and talk about anything that you are promoting, any upcoming events, any projects, businesses you want to shout out, you know, especially your own.
Speaker A:We need to know where we can support and then, of course, where we can find you.
