But What If I Tried Acting?

It's the season finale! Music videos, shady moments, Ivy Park Rodeo and more!

We're talking all things Lion King from 2019! The CGI remake that mocks your childhood, the gift album from Beyonce that helped soothed those wounds, and beautiful celebration of Pan-Africanism that is Black is King!

This week, we discuss EVERYTHING IS LOVE, Jay-Z and Beyoncé's reconciliation/power couple flex album. Then we discuss Fade to Black, Jay-Z's 2004 supposed retirement doc, where Beyoncé performs a mini-concert in the middle. Why did we talk about this, you may wonder........

Beyoncé once said "I stopped the world, Male or female, it make no difference, I stop the world" and she did just that with the release of the Lemonade visual album. Join us as we have all of the feels, discuss Beyonce as a representation of various African goddesses, and more!

Get in formation because we're talking Lemonade with special guest Desirée Fletcher! We had so much to say, so surprise, this one's a two parter. This week we're talking about the album. Next week (7/27) we'll be discussing the visual album.

It's Homecoming at BWIITA! This week we discuss her iconic Netflix concert film, as well as her equally iconic self-titled album. The album came out during our senior year of college, so obviously we have zero feelings on it whatsoever.

This week we discuss the movie Epic and the album 4! This is the last great album/meh movie for a while, which means we of course have a five minute long segment where we talk about Scrat, an animated character from a completely different film.

I am... Obsessed with this week's film. That's right, we're talking about Obsessed and Sasha Fierce. And we brought along our good friend Henry Meyers to talk about Lifetime movies, white women, and the surprisingly intricate technical details of "Single Ladies." Buy Saurian!

Remember when Etta James was mad that Beyoncé sang At Last at Obama's inauguration? We do! This week we had to watch Cadillac Records, and now we're all the motherf*cker. But hey, at least we also listened to B'Day! Ring the alarm because a new episode is here!

Jimmy want a rib, Jimmy want a steak. Jimmy want his robbed Best Supporting Actor Oscar! We watched Dreamgirls and listened to Destiny Fulfilled. There's a lot of irony in the fact that these two are paired.

Sacre Bleu Ivy! We continue the cycle of good album/bad movie. Some people in this movie are hot, and four jokes are funny.

Sampling the Mr. Peabody song, Garth's most nitpicky of musical nitpicks, racist ad pitches, and Beyoncé crying to a Destiny's Child song. That's right, we listened to Survivor and watched The Fighting Temptations. One of these things is good.

Did Goldmember melt his dick off by having sex with liquid gold? Would Dark Twisted Fantasy be better without the Nicki Minaj intro? Is this the origin of beyhive? These are the important questions we answer in this episode.

Join us as we begin our journey through the works of one Beyoncé Knowles! This week we discuss the debut of Destiny's Child and green screen ourselves to Los Angeles in Carmen: A Hip Hopera. Please say the "A Hip Hopera."

Here's a little bonus content! Garth, Sanchez, and Butler discuss the music that got them through the cursed year 2020.

It's the season finale! Garth and Sanchez watched DMX music videos and talked about many things, including, sometimes, DMX and his film career.

It's our last DMX film! Instead of talking about the movie, we talk about law and order, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and American Girl Dolls. Also some other things!

Butler hates this movie and we talk about it. Also DMX's character is named "Davie." There are cars.

Garth is beyond the law. Sanchez is beyond the law. Butler is beyond the law. Steven Seagal's presence should be beyond the law. We watched Beyond the Law.

This week, we learned that there's one thing more pimpalicious than shiny cars, fur jackets, and canes. That one thing? Bottomless soul-crushing despair! Also, more Green Day.

Wait did we watch an actual good movie for this podcast!? Join us for our discussion of Top Five, where we go over our own music lists, the psychological toll of black celebrity, and Green Day. Special guest appearances by Grimes and Leftist Vinnie Jones.

It's The Bleeding! The DMX answer to Underworld and The Fast and the Furious that you don't want to watch. Fast cars, hot chicks, and vampires BRUH! Sanchez and Butler had some fun with it. Garth did not.

It's the 2008 Special!! We, and by "we" we mean Garth, killed ourselves to watch four DMX movies for you. We watched Death Toll, Lockjaw: Rise of the Kulev Serpent, Last Hour, and Lords of the Street. They were all really weird and bad. You're welcome.

It took some of us 7 hours, but we all managed to watch Father of Lies. What did we learn? Low budget film making is hard, especially when you don't spend money on sound, lighting, and high quality editing. We also learned not to trust shady businessmen who want to set up an elaborate scam for you including Middle East banking systems.

Never Die Alone? More like never watch this movie, amirite? DMX plays a despicable human being, David Arquette is a culture vulture and there's not enough Aisha Tyler or Luenell in this movie. Also, it's Butler's turn to have not amazing audio. Thanks technology!

We watched Cradle 2 the Grave, and DMX punched a cop and drove an ATV straight into our hearts! Join us as we discuss lasers, mismatching lingerie, and (*sigh*) MMA. The outro cover of Ruff Rider's Anthem was performed by Butler's sister Haley, who very much knows how to play piano, and Butler herself, who less than knows how to play recorder. Also, we finally fixed Garth’s audio!

Steven Segal sucks. DMX is a tech billionaire? Also, Garth's audio is still messed up.

In the dawning of the new millennium, DMX “avoids” sophomore slump with Romeo Must Die! Join us, as we discuss teeny tiny Matrix glasses, the gentrification of the Bay Area waterfront, and crabs. Garth’s audio is still messed up.

Citizen Kane. Seven Samurai. Belly. Join us, as we induct this new GOAT into the pantheon with a discussion of Y2K, the differences between strip clubs and normal clubs with topless women, and Ben Shapiro’s fart face. Also, Garth’s audio is messed up.

Do you love Dolly Parton in 9 to 5? How about Jennifer Lopez in Selena? Or Method Man in How High? So do we! Join us for our new podcast, But What if I Tried Acting?, a show where we explore the filmographies of our favorite singers, rappers, and musicians. For our first season, we will cover humanitarian, role model, and famously law abiding citizen DMX! We’ll cover his music career. We’ll summarize plot. We’ll discuss our aggressive nitpicks, question costume design choices, reflect on the overall sucky aura of Steven Seagal, and so much more! We’re excited for you all to join us on this journey through the DMX Cinematic Universe. We’ll talk about movies, we’ll talk about acting, we’ll talk about extremely problematic past behavior and lyrics. It’ll be a grand ol’ time! Check us out on Apple podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you find your podcasts every Tuesday. See you there!
