We have SO MANY reviews today! Three movies and three TV shows. For those keeping score, that's half a dozen things to review in this one episode. Wild.

And what does Demi mean when she says Dallas is a fan of Hayley Atwell's “assets”? Listen to this jam-packed episode to find out! Thanks for listening! You […]

Thunderbolts* is out! It's the movie Demi has been waiting for for the last seven years! And it's more depression centered than the average superhero movie, we can tell you that much.

And where is Gaby when it's time to thirst over Florence Pugh? Join our team as we dive into all this and more! […]

And how many trailers can we really talk about in an episode? Tune in and […]

What may be the most controversial movie of 2025 is finally here and we're here to say… it's not really worth all of the vitriol. Is Rachel Zegler truly the fairest one of all when it comes to playing Snow White? Can Gal Gadot even sing? Do we trust Disney to bring back Power Rangers? And will the Doctor get that nurse home in the new season of Doctor Who?! Join Demi and Cassie as they eat the Disney apple […]

Hello and happy Black History Month! We're celebrating with the fact that Captain America is Black now! Dallas and Demi watched that movie while Gaby and Cassie were reading books about kinky swimmers and forced feminization. Is the new Captain America movie as Black as we hoped? Is it more of a Hulk sequel than a Captain America sequel? And wait, what is forced feminization, anyway? Find answers to all of these questions and more in our new episode! Thanks […]

Welcome to Basgiath War College! A new dragon series is on the horizon with the popular book, Fourth Wing, and in honor of the release of the recent book, Onyx Storm, we've decided to give it our own fancast! Is there a man hot enough to play Xaden Riorson? What makes the perfect Violet Sorrengail? Who do we think has one of the greatest voices in the world to play Tairn? And if Xaddy has picked up steam, can Mommy […]

It's day three of the recaps! That means it's time to give flowers to all the actors who impressed us, surprised us, or maybe just gave us a fun time. Does Hugh Jackman still have it in him after 24 years as Wolverine? Is Ella Purnell the MVP of video game adaptations right now? And does “Black people make everything better” apply to Anne Rice's vampires? (We know it does). Check out our new episode and hear us give props […]

Hello again! We're back for day two of our year end recaps, and today we're talking about our favorite shows of the year! How many times will we say Cristin Milioti and Anna Sawai's name?

Hello and happy new year! It's that time of year when we get to talk about our favorite movies! And it's a Double D edition, so Dallas and Demi are kickin' it off for us. Did Wicked defy our expectations? How many action comedies starring a guy named Ryan made Dallas' top 5? And did […]

We're ending our year with a big one! This is our last episode until we start the new year with our 2024 Top 10 lists! And with that being the case, we made sure to all be present for y'all this time! Did Denzel make any guarantees in Gladiator II? Did Arcane season two hold […]

We're back again with another show about a comic book villain! Even though the witchy episode was last week, today's episode is brought to you by Black Girl Magic as well, as it's Cassie and Demi holdin' this one down for us. Is The Penguin as good as everyone says? Is Sofia Falcone Demi's newest […]

What?! Episodes dropping on consecutive weeks! We are so back! And what brought us back so soon? Agatha All Along! Is it the gay explosion that Aubrey Plaza said it would be? Is the Ballad of the Witches' Road still stuck in our heads? How does Dolly Parton fit into all this??

We're back with another Double D episode! Triple D actually! Dallas, Demi, and Disney! As expected, we always have something to be excited about when Disney gets in their bag. Is Demi a Disney shill? Will Dallas be thirsting over Elastigirl when Incredibles 3 comes out? Will Gaby and Cassie be thirsting over animals when […]

We're all back together again! It's been a while, but Gaby has made a return to us! And speaking of returns, Robert Downey Jr. is back in the MCU! Who woulda thought? Not us! How will Marvel navigate his return? Is there anything Cassie cares about at Comic-Con? And did Gaby come back just because […]

Much to our delight, Deadpool & Wolverine has finally arrived in record-breaking fashion, as expected. On the TV side of things, much to Dallas' delight, Hit-Monkey season two is out! Unfortunately, Dallas might be the only person watching it. (Hulu please don't cancel Hit-Monkey). Is Deadpool & Wolverine everything we hoped for? Is anyone else […]

We're back again with a Double D edition of the podcast! Dallas and Demi are talkin' superheroes, Star Wars, and serial killers. Is The Boys hitting a little too close to home this season? Is The Acolyte too colorful for the toxic side of the Star Wars fandom? And who's the newest actor on Dallas' […]

The (bad) boys are back in town! And so is Pixar's tendency to hit us right in our emotions! Two movies that couldn't be more different, and Demi saw both, Dallas saw one, Cassie saw neither, and Gaby's not even here! Business as usual! Is the Bad Boys franchise still in good shape after three […]

We're almost 300 episodes in, so it was about time we tried out doing interviews, right? Our guest today is a friend of the show, and yes we say that about lots of people who don't actually know us, but this guy is an actual friend of the show! He's a DJ, a music producer, […]

We're back, after another inexplicable month long break! This time we're coming back with apes, imaginary friends, and X-MEN! Demi covers the movie reviews this time, because all Dallas has been thinking about is X-Men ‘97. Meanwhile, Cassie continues exploring her spooky side with a 10 Minute Take! Will Cassie ever finish The Midnight Club? […]

There were only TWO hosts available for today's episode and you'll never guess which ones.

Is it possible that Guy Ritchie has made one of the best movies AND TV shows of the year? How does he […]

We got action! Demi's reviewing Monkey Man, Demi and Dallas are reviewing Invincible, and Dallas is talking about X-Men ‘97 AGAIN! Also, Gaby's declaring her beef with Drake and Cassie's watching the show that introduced us to him. And Gaby's turning the podcast into BookTok! Was the second half of Invincible season two worth the […]

We're back! We've been gone for a month, but we're back! Did you notice we were gone? Please say you noticed we were gone! Anyway, Godzilla and Kong are back at it again! If big monsters don't do it for you, Cassie gives a 10 Minute Take on a movie with some smaller monsters! Meanwhile, […]

The spice must flow! It's the moment Demi and Gaby have been waiting for! Our Dune: Part 2 episode!

And why […]

TWO of Dallas' favorite music artists made shows that came out this month! And they're both good! Also, Madame Web came out too! What can we say about Madame Web? It sure is a movie! Did we dislike Madame Web as much as Dakota Johnson seems to? Does Donald Glover have another hit show on […]

As you may know, a new live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender is out now. But before we get to that, we had to get through the reason that the phrase “live-action adaptation of Avatar” elicits a fight or flight response in so many people. And it's Gaby's first time seeing this movie! She […]

The first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is out and it's everything we hoped it would be! Well, not for Dallas, but he probably just misses Rosario Dawson as Persephone. On the movie side of things, we've got Argylle, the spy movie with lots of A-listers and even more plot twists. Was Argylle […]

We're back with another movie from two decades ago! This time we're trading in our pink clothes and burn books for bullets and burn notices as we rewatch Mr. and Mrs. Smith! Dallas and Cassie don't remember much about it, so it's basically a first time watching video. Did Angelina Jolie's dominatrix outfit jog our […]

Two weeks into January and we've already got three movies to review! AND a new Marvel show! Look at us. Who woulda thought? Not me! We've got a musical, we've got bee-themed action, we've got the newest Marvel show, and we've got Black Jesus! Does the new Mean Girls hold up with the original? Is […]

On Wednesdays we wear pink, and sometimes on Thursdays we do too! And as far as you know, we recorded this on a Wednesday, so it's all good. Happy Throwback Thursday! Today we're reacting to Mean Girls, in time for its musical remake and 20th anniversary! Maybe a little while before the anniversary, but it's […]

It's our annual music episode! And if you've been here a while you know what that means. It's time to put the “differences” in Creative Differences! Whether it's Dallas' rappity raps, Gaby's hoodrat music, Demi's sad girl music, or whatever Cassie listens to, we've got somethin' for ya! Did Demi's hyper-fixations affect her music tastes […]

It's day three of our Year In Review! That means it's time for us to big up our favorite actors of the year! And you know us, we love to big up our favorite people! Is Ayo Edebiri on every one of our lists? Was Dallas able to stop himself from just listing everyone in […]

Welcome to day two of our year in review! It's tv day, and this year we had to say goodbye to some of our favorite shows. We're collectively upset that Blindspotting is over. Dallas is ready to fight John Starz (or whoever runs Starz). Is Bluey as good as your friends with kids say it […]

Happy New Year! It's time for our annual Year In Review, and we're starting off with our favorite movies of 2023! And despite the best efforts of technical difficulties, we got all four of us in the episode! Is Cassie beating the horror fan allegations with her list? Did Barbenheimer hit our lists like it […]

Today's episode is brought to you by Black Girl Magic! Literally! So it makes sense that Demi, the magic Black woman that she is, takes point on these reviews. There's also the fact that Gaby didn't see the movies in time, Dallas didn't care to see them, and Cassie didn't even show up to record. […]

We're back to reviews and we got a lot for you! Marvel Studios finally got a Black woman director, Hunger Games is back, we got a new version of Goosebumps, and the weebs have a new Scott Pilgrim! It's been a big couple of weeks, and that's not even including all these trailers! Have general […]

Happy Top 5 Tuesday! You asked for it (ages ago), and now it's here! Our long-awaited, fan-requested Top 5 Books episode! We finally managed to wrangle Gaby long enough to get her to record this one with us. Will all her picks be romance novels? Has Demi reignited her interest in reading? And has Dallas […]

Congratulations to SAG-AFTRA for staying strong and getting their deal! And we look forward to returning to our regularly scheduled reviews and news updates! In the meantime, though, we're casting actors we love for something that Demi loves: The Chronicles of Prydain! For those who don't know (probably most of us), that's the book series […]

Finally! A movie review! It certainly hasn't been a cruel summer for Taylor Swift, so we're going to speak now about how enchanted we are by The Eras Tour concert film. We know all too well Taylor's reputation and style, so pull on your cardigan and meet us at midnight to discuss a concert straight […]

Previously on the Creative Differences Podcast…Demi said she wanted a movie adaptation of Def Jam Vendetta, and this unlocked a core memory in Dallas, leading him to immediately adding that to our list of things to fancast. And here we are, fancasting Def Jam Vendetta in the 20th year since its release! Who has the […]

With the studios STILL refusing to pay writers and actors fairly, we're talking about video games today! That's right gamers, this one's for y'all! Could a studio round up enough rappers to make a Def Jam Vendetta movie work (and actually pay them)? Would Bioshock's Big Daddies look good in live action? And WHAT is […]

We are BACK! The hiatus is over, and we have reopened your one-stop shop for movie reviews, throwback Thursdays, Fancast Fridays, and a number of other pop culture-related items! And speaking of those other items, we've got a Top 5 Tuesday today! Will the strike lead us to doing more than one Top 5 Tuesday […]

Tom Cruise is still jumping off of everything he can find! And we're still here for it! The whole gang's here today as Dallas and Demi give their thoughts on the newest Mission: Impossible film!  Also, the movie machine broke again! This time, it's due to the greed of executives. Big surprise there, right? Coincidentally, […]

Today's theme is “people of color make everything better”, because Demi saw Joy Ride and we all watched Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire! The latter has given Dallas a new show to fight for on social media, as animated anthologies are his brand. And speaking of his brand, a new Insidious is out! Why does Dallas […]

Y'all ready to punch some nazis? Indiana Jones is back! And so is Boots Riley! Even Henry Cavill is back for his last season of The Witcher! And speaking of Henry Cavill, we got a new Superman announcement! How old is too old to still be acting? Is I'm a Virgo hittin' the same levels […]

Y'all ready for some RANGE? On today's episode, we're going from Wes Anderson's Asteroid City to The Blackening. So, basically covering both ends of the Blackness spectrum: not Black at all and as Black as a movie can be. And Black Mirror lands somewhere in the middle, so we've covered that, too! How did Demi […]
