In this episode, we dive deep into the mysterious world of Wayward, Netflix’s gripping drama that’s got everyone talking. 🎬

We’re unpacking the show’s biggest moments — the twists, the heartbreaks, the “WHAT JUST HAPPENED?” scenes — and asking ourselves one huge question: What would we have done if we were in their shoes?

• The most intense scenes and character decisions
• Symbolism, hidden clues, and what we think it all means
• What Season 2 (if it happens!) could explore

Buckle up because this episode is a wild ride! 🎢 We're diving deep into Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black – no sugarcoating, no holding back.

👑 First up, we name our favorite characters (and why they're carrying the show on their back). Is it the messy one? The quiet one with secrets? Or the one who just can’t get it together no matter how hard they try?

😱 Then, we break down that jaw-dropping scene everyone is still talking about. You know the one. The scene that had us clutching our pearls, texting our group chats, and pausing the screen like, “Wait, did that just happen?!”

😩 How did we feel about the midseason conclusion? Was it satisfying, or did Tyler Perry leave us hanging just enough to scream at the screen? We're sharing all our reactions, theories, and even a few predictions for what’s coming next.

🛋️ And finally… we put on our therapist hats and ask: “What is really wrong with these characters?” From generational trauma to just straight-up bad decisions, we unpack their inner chaos and what might actually help them heal (besides better friends and less drama).

✨ It’s funny, it’s real, and it’s a little therapeutic for all of us.

We also discuss Beauty in the Black and reflect on the streak of ambitious projects he’s been taking on lately—love them or not, they’ve got people talking. Speaking of standout performances, we highlight Ben Affleck’s moving role in The Way Back. It wasn’t what we expected, but it’s an unforgettable watch.

Hey scripties, we’re back with another packed episode! This week, we dive into a fascinating new movie in production across Spain and Portugal that explores the concept of artificial justice. The big question: would you rather be judged by humans or an AI jury in a court case? We break down the pros, cons, and potential biases of AI in the justice system, and debate where things could go wrong.

We start off with our viewers/listeners recommended watch Challengers, starring Zendaya as Tashi, a former tennis star turned coach. Tension brews as her husband faces off against his former best friend—and her ex—in a high-stakes tennis match. Can you ever fully let go of past romances? And how far will you go to win, whether in love or on the court?

For our first Plot and Pop pick, we’re covering Bad Monkey. Vince Vaughn is stellar as Andrew Yancey, a detective who’s too dedicated to justice for his own good. We follow his journey from Miami to the Bahamas as he goes head-to-head with a corrupt developer trying to seize local land. Along the way, we dive into his romance with Rosa, a coroner, as they fight to expose the villainous Christopher/Nick before it's too late.

Next up, we tackle Lady in the Lake. Cleo, a powerful Black woman fighting for her family, and Maddie, a manipulative and prejudiced journalist, show us two sides of the same coin. We explore race, privilege, and manipulation, unraveling Maddie’s dangerous ambitions and the tragic mystery of who killed Cleo. The lines Maddie is willing to cross for a story will leave you questioning everything. Tune in for all the tea, scripties!
