Blaxiety

Hi everyone! We're back. We haven't recorded a podcast in eight months! We are very rusty, but we still have a few pop culture recommendations for you and our dreary take on the state of the world. It sucks, y'all. Just escape to the bunker and watch Netflix until the Trump Regime officially takes over all access to communication.

It's almost time for Black Panther! Yvonne and Michelle discuss the significance of the film and the history of black superheroes in comics. Michelle, a former Middle School teacher, also takes a moment to educate the idiots who can't separate Black Panther from the Black Panther party. WAKANDA FOREVER!!!

Episode 108 - What's a Zaddy? Michelle and Yvonne had rosé before recording again and this is result. A fun episode where we probably mangle the definition of "zaddy," but also rank the Superhero Chrises. It's really just an opportunity to talk about people we find hot. We also give some of our favorite quotes from the recent Quincy Jones interview. Just go with it. Quincy Jones Article - 0:48 Marlon Brando Zaddy Discussion - 8:33 Chrismania - 13:28 Sportsball Zaddies - 18:20 What Makes a Zaddy? - 21:59 Ranking the Chrises - 25:34

Yvonne and Michelle tackle everything from Ciara's ill advised instagram post about marriage to the racial dynamics of The Flash and Black Lightning. We also briefly delve into the pay disparity that exists in the entertainment industry w/ black women. Oh...and EVERYTHING makes Michelle cry.

2017 didn't completely suck. From the political power of black women to Armie Hammer to the former presidents, here's a list of things in 2017 that made us have a glimmer of hope. Here's Part 2 of our End of Year recap. Have a joyous New Year. May your anxiety be at a minimum.

Episode 105 - "They Tried It" We break down the year into categories. Part One is all about the trash 2017 dumped into our laps. We take a look at all the things 2017 can keep. From Congress not caring about the American people to Matt Damon not knowing when to shut his mouth, 2017 gave us a number of people who tried it.

With the release of Justice League (we taped before we saw the film), Blaxiety takes a look at the current state of superheroes on film and TV. We briefly discuss if Marvel or DC does it better, recall our favorites from the time vault, and look at the future of superheroes in film and TV.

Yvonne, Michelle, and Michael have a brief discussion over two very different pop culture issues they have concerns about. 1. Taylor Swift may not be a jerk, but she is litigious and a lot of jerks like her. 2. On a completely different note, please stop assaulting people.

Yvonne and Michelle navigate the issues of modern feminism the only way they know how - with cheap champagne and awkward life stories. Michael also drops in a few anecdotes about when he realized he is a feminist. Enjoy!

Michelle and Yvonne didn’t have cable when they were kids. This led to spending way too much time watching reruns of old sitcoms. These sitcoms ultimately informed what they thought boyfriends should be. Our hosts travel through TV history and talk about the failures of TV boyfriends (and husbands) throughout time.

Blaxiety - 101 "What About Your Friends" Yvonne and Michelle take a look back at female friendships in popular culture through out history. You find a bit more about the 20 year friendship between the hosts and how TV has always been a part of that. We also get into some weekly self care, the Asshole of the Week, and what will bring about the Apocalypse this week. Enjoy

Trailer for Blaxiety, a new podcast from the perspective of two overeducated, anxious, awkward black women. We love pop culture, but we love rambling too.
