"Jada Stinkett Piss"

This week, the gang packs their bags, grabs a grapefruit (or two), and heads to Essence Fest as we cover Girls Trip! This movie has everything: Tiffany Haddish being an unhinged menace, Queen Latifah making questionable career choices, Regina Hall absolutely not having it all, and Jada Pinkett Smith living that "mom friend" life—until she isn't. Join us as we celebrate the Flossy Posse and the power of friendship... and also discuss the real-life importance of having at least one chaotic friend who's willing to fight a man at the club.

"Her Juilliard auditions have a higher kill count than most Horror Virgin movies."

This week’s hottest movie is Save the Last Dance—the film that made us all think we could master hip-hop in a single montage. This movie has everything: Julia Stiles looking vaguely uncomfortable while dancing, Sean Patrick Thomas being effortlessly smooth, Kerry Washington in full Big Sister Mode, and a romance so electric it almost makes us forget about that final dance. Plus, let’s not forget the Juilliard Blood Sacrifice—because apparently, every time Sara auditions, fate demands a body count.

If you love early 2000s hip-hop vibes, dance montages that defy logic, and romance that actually works, this episode’s for you!
