The penultimate episode for season 1 of GHOST is here and all the secrets have been revealed. Jeff and Krissy dive into the MONSTER themes throughout this episode. Tariq has a reckoning with his own actions over 2 shows and 4+ seasons. Does he embrace the Monster within or strive to be better? Cane accepts his demons and wonders why the family that made him rejects him now. The Saxe/Maclean partnership dissolves with the revelation of their secret partnership. Money is the 80s villain we didn't know we needed and Dr. Epiphany Turner is the MVP of this episode with her realness and views on her own situation, which help Tariq make some difficult choices. Who are the martyrs and who are the monsters? Plus we talk Raising Kanan and Force, the next chapters in the Power universe.

This week, Jeff and Krissy bring you the Negro Solstice edition of Power After Hours! 2-Bit is the resident vigilante who saves Tariq’s life but with a major premium, Jabari’s super simp sense is tingling as he continues to sucker for love his way into Tariq’s business and possibly into danger, Dru transforms from mild […]

Jeff and Krissy discuss the latest developments in a hilarious episode of Power. Tariq is fed up with the entire cast and smooth curses them all out in a tour-de-force of slander. Sex Week would bring out Carrie and her complicated current relationship with Zeke. Who knew Jabari was the jealous simp type? Monet and Cane continued their silent war. Secrets are revealed and the 48 Laws of Power make their destined appearance on the show. And Saxe and MacLean's plan to bag Tariq hits a snag when Paz returns to take the stand. One of our favorite episodes with nothing but quotables that moves the plot forward.

Krissy and Jeff are back from hiatus and ready to recap the Mid-Season premiere of Ghost! The squad chops it up about Cane taking Brayden and Trace on a training day field mission through Queens, Saxe and McLean's scheme to implicate Tariq in multiple crimes, 2-Bit's return and ultimate finesse, and the Power dynamics with Monet , her kids and their criminal empire. Also we get into our philosophical bag and ask who's right: Locke or Hobbes. 

Actor, Writer, Producer and Power veteran Shane Johnson joins Jeff and Krissy for a dope episode of Power After Hours! Shane and the crew talk about his early acting career and the journey to land the role of Cooper Saxe. Shane explains the evolution of Saxe from ancillary character to series regular, his motivations, and what to expect from the head of the US Attorney's office in the last 5 episodes of Power Book II: Ghost, Season 1. Jeff and Krissy also pick Shane's brain about his experiences with the Power fanbase, separating Saxe from Shane, being a character fans love to hate and a whole lot more!

We have reached the mid-season finale of Power Book II: Ghost! For those familiar with the Power episode cadence, this isn't abnormal, but due to COVID-19 we'll have to wait until December to see our favorite characters stress us out. Jeff and Krissy dive into the circumstances surrounding the two-month hiatus and what it means for the show and we did NOT forget about every major thing that happened in this episode! Saxe and Davis with an unholy alliance, Tasha an Tariq revealing secrets, Riley roofies Tariq and we watch the realest Tariq scene at Raina and Jamie's grave, Brayden wants more information, Monet still cursing people out to hilarity, Carrie on auto-Demon Time, and Jabari plagiarizing Tariq's work! It was a lot which set up the next five episodes well. Plus we answer your commentary and receive a cool message during a Ghost Q&A from the god Michael Rainey Jr. himself! Tap in and tell a friend to listen to #PowerAfterHours. The Gift of The Magi | Power Book II: Ghost Season 1 Episode 5 Recap | Power After Hours

This season is flying by, and as we reach the Mid-Season finale, Jeff and Krissy cover an action-packed episode of Ghost! The Prince by Machiavelli serves as the backdrop for how Tariq confronts his opponents and how people from his past could've used that mentality. Plus, Tariq in true Queens gentleman fashion breaks down options and why he is the prize, the women win by finally seeing Method Man nekkid, Jabari and Carrie on Demon time, Monet still cursing at her kids, sexuality, family, and Saxe scamming gene runs strong in the family. Lauren's Bougie parents, Maclean's infidelity, Stern's husband. Yeah this was a lot, and we cover it all in this episode of #PowerAfterHours!

This week on Power After Hours, Jeff and Krissy recap Power Book II: Ghost Season 1 Episode 3 “Play The Game”. The main characters face a crossroards where they have to either conform to the rules or have the audacity to challenge them. Those challenges are met with different results.

All good things must come to an end... Jeff and Krissy close the chapter on Power (Book 1) after 5 years of podding. We give our take on the finale, the season, and our thoughts on the legacy of this show. We deconstruct everything from the characters, writers, and everything in between. We try to answer your burning questions: Did they need 5 episodes to end the story? Are we watching the spin-offs? What does a post Power After Hours world look like? The fans showed our too with your tweets and emails. This is #TheFinalArgument on this show as we discuss the past and look towards the future. We also give our album credit shoutouts to everyone involved in this podcasts and the hosts who helped make Power and this podcast awesome. Let's toast to the end of an era. It's a celebration!

Jeff and Krissy are back to review the penultimate episode of Power! We get the Tate-Centric episode, which meant to show the motives he had to kill Ghost, but this turned into a referendum on the commonly agreed upon uselessness of the Paz episode, clumsy sequencing of the episodes, and whether fans actually care about who shot Ghost anymore. We did get a reminder that Larenz Tate be AC-TING though. Before this episode, we take a moment to remember Kobe and Gigi Bryant, along with the 7 other individuals lost in that tragic helicopter crash on Sunday. It took us a couple of days, as it did much of the world, to compose ourselves and prepare to drop this podcast.

Jeff and Krissy recap the most highly anticipated episode: The TOMMY episode! We follow Tommy’s life from the moment he kills Benny to dodging the mob, avenging Keisha’s death and more. Did we get more answers or questions? And how does the events of episode 613 affect the rest of the series and potential spin-offs? We answer these questions and yours on this episode of Power: After Hours!

Jeff and Krissy Link up to talk all things Paz... even though they aren't hyped about it. No shade to Elizabeth Rodriguez, who killed the role, but they did her no favors by keeping her in the background for most of the season...so the resulting backlash from fans makes sense.  They discuss how the story moves forward, transition episodes during a finale season, Angela's gun as the murder weapon, Power Book II to air 8 episodes (??), and what we expect for the last few episodes. #PowerTV 

Jeff and Krissy are back for the final 5 episodes of Power! First, they get into the pitfalls of cybersecurity and why two-factor authentication should be a mantra for all social media users. Then they get into the show. The Power writers have crafted an excellent episode that evolves Dre into his final snitch form. We get the background and motivation for the current Dre we know and loathe. The construction of the episode as the events of Episodes 10 from the perspective of Dre filled many of the gaps and answered most questions. As we close one chapter, we still have 6 more suspects in the shooting of Ghost. Listen up to hear who we think actually shot Ghost!

We have reached the "mid-season" finale... and needless to say we are FED UP! While this episode has its moments, there's too many plot holes and inconsistencies to ignore. We explore every suspects motive in the #WhoShotGhost mystery, while deconstructing how some of these choices make NO sense, while others are justified. Not to mention...a contrived copycat cliffhanger! The fans were VOCAL in their disapproval, and it showed in some commentary from you in POWER TALK. Our deeper conversation covers the writing process, Power Confidential, and a quick salute to Omari Hardwick and the series overall. Consider it a preview of the final episode podcast. We got two months until the next show, so here's a super sized pod to hold you over. Enjoy!

In the penultimate episode before the mid-season finale... EVERYONE SNITCHIN! We get into the destruction of all trust and bonds of family between Tommy, Ghost, Tasha and Tariq along with some more notables deaths and where we go from here. Tariq vs Ghost and Fatherhood, Tate's failed campaign, dropped storylines, and everything in between. Plus YOUR commentary too!

What a way to end an episode! In the latest edition of #PowerAfterHours, we discuss the shocking death this episode (and how one of my favorite power memes came true), Saxe's white privilege Starman finally running out, Tate's campaign looking funny, The two-week gap between Power episodes and what the midseason finale #reallymeans, Tasha teaching narcotics 1o1 to Tariq, and how this all is leading to a bloody conclusion. Listener social commentary was on FIRE this week too, as you asked us about everything. Like, literally everything!

Tariq finally gets put in his place by multiple folks and the Internet rejoices! This week, we discuss the multiple ways the parent figures in Tariq's bad ass life give him a dose of reality. Living in a fantasy world (Ghost), vs. Reality (Tasha, Tommy, Everyone else but Ghost), Saxe's white privilege power finally running out on him, Tate writing checks his d*ck has to cash, and Tasha's motherly decision that inspires debate among everyone. Plus your thoughts too!

If you had 24 hours to scam just think... This is the question Ghost and Tommy ponder as they try to raise $2 Milly in 24 hours to free Tariq. Inside Man confirms that this is Tariq's scheme, and everything as expected, goes to hell. Tariq is slowly rising in the "greatest hated characters ever" list, Tate gets some good character development via his ever expanding origin story, Cousin Benny is the MVP, and we ask "what's next" after the Tommy-Ghost unholy alliance.

Ced Shine (@CedricShine) joins the Power After Hours fam to chime in on this week's episode of POWER! Who's playing chess on this show and who's playing checkers? We get into a deep discussion on whether Tariq is dumb, naive, or both? A requiem for our fallen soldier Joe Proctor, Tommy's irrational emotional nature and whether it'll be his downfall, Saxe is the worst lawyer in the history of the U.S.A., and Jeff is finally fed up with the writing on the show as we debate accepting a show for what it is, vs. expecting better from writer's room. Does Power hit the "f*ck it" button too often with plot lines and certain scenes? We get to it, plus your commentary too!

This episode we talk all things Ghost - how he lost all control of mind, decency and power over his movements. Why won’t he let Tasha live with another boo? How does he botch another hit on Tommy? How does he get out of these situations? Plus is Kate right about Tasha not being the one for Tommy? Does Vincent and Mitic not hold all the cards against Tommy and Ghost? How many times can Dre double cross folks in this series without being killed? Proctor makes the power moves and is his ruthless decisions gonna come back to haunt him? And has this show gone off the soap opera cliff? Listen to hear our thoughts!

Dre is back in the game and as always, revealing his snake-like ways! On this latest recap, we talk about Mitic playing both sides with Tommy and Ghost, that infamous court scene, Tasha going full black mama on Tariq, What's Effie's secret origin, Saxe leading the worst DA office in TV history into oblivion, and whether Keisha has the chops to be a ride or die chick. Plus the national nightmare is over... the POWER OG THEME SONG BACK! Jacquees won't have to defile any classic 50 Cent tracks now lol. Plus in POWER TALK, we go over your thoughts on Shirtless Larenz Tate and his smashing new campaign strategy, and who you think will live or die.
