Uzo Aduba leads a strong cast in this Shonda Rhimes (no relation to Busta) vehicle. Luther insists Susan Kelechi Watson does all the heavy lifting (pun fully intended), while Jobina finds herself swooning over Giancarlo Esposito. Randall Park, Isiah Whitlock Jr. from Cocaine Bear fame, Allie from Kate and Allie, and non-victim Al Franken are other fan favorites who show up. There's some good and bad happening in this show, and Jobina and Luther take every opportunity to discuss the relevant tangents, including mansplaining and shelaboration. Put on your slips and enjoy the episode!

We’re back! Thanks for hanging in there with us. This week we get into Paradise on Hulu, starring the always smooth Sterling K. Brown — but let’s be honest, the real story is about a sleep-deprived DEI hire just trying to be a decent single dad. Jobina admits she’s basically been running on fumes for the past decade, and Luther, well, just can't relate. Along the way, we wander into the lore of single fathers in Disney movies, why soap operas might secretly be the blueprint, and of course, the undeniable fact that women love tall men. It’s classic us — some wild detours, more than a few laughs, and occasionally something interesting is said.

We're back! Enjoy!

More episodes to come soon...

Arnold (Netflix) is a docu-series about the body builder, polician and movie star, and one of the things we learn is that he has no time for emotions. Somehow, we also learn that Jobina and her sister were big fans of LL Cool J. We also take tangents to talk about body issues, winning the lottery, and Biggie's "Mo Money, Mo Problems." Because there were no prominent women in the documentary, Luther is given the choice to Marry, Kill, or One Night Stand Mr. Schwarzenegger. And Jobina gives an unexpected moral of the episode that all men should take heed.

Man listen.... Anybody walking around calling themselves "Jim Bob" is suspicious. AND his wife had 19 kids! The cops should have stormed that house like they did the Branch Davidians!

Our episode might not be suitable for kids because we briefly discuss sexual abuse, but we don't get graphic and we move on pretty quickly. There are plenty other things to discuss with this hilariously sad show, "Shiny Happy People" on Amazon Prime.

Queen Charlotte (Netflix) wore her afro loudly and proudly, so that little girls everywhere can be proud of their natural hair as well. And Jobina can never say that she wasn't given anything! This show was for her, and she was more than happy to discuss it. And of course we took our usual-unusual tangents, discussing everything from colorism, arranged marriage, and the royal family to how good of a gift giver Jobina is... if you are under 10 years old and were once in her belly.

If you enjoy the show, tell all your friends about it. :) Peace and love!

We just couldn't leave Beef alone. We reveiwed the first/pilot episode in our normal format, but we wanted to come back and discuss the whole series because it touched on so many interesting thoughts and ideas.

One of the things we discuss is the intentionality of every detail of the show, including the episode titles. Each title is a snippet from a quote by a historical figure, often a philosopher. Google each episode title to find the full quote, and spend a little time with it to gain a new perspective on the contents of the episode.

This is a really good show. No, wait. Yes, our show is also good, but I'm talking about Beef on Netflix. Check out our commentary on the first episode, which includes two hilarious interactions we've had with contractors. Also, please seek mental health counseling if you are considering peeing on someone's bathroom floor, unless they've specifically asked for such a service.

Enjoy!
