Greg Alba and Aaron Alexander dive into the heartfelt and powerful Daddy's Little Girls, directed by Tyler Perry. This 2007 drama stars Idris Elba (Luther, Beasts of No Nation, Thor) as Monty, a devoted father fighting for custody of his three daughters against their negligent mother Jennifer, played by Tasha Smith (Empire, Why Did I Get Married?). Gabrielle Union (Bring It On, Bad Boys II, Being Mary Jane) shines as Julia, a high-powered attorney who steps in to help Monty, and their chemistry lights up the screen. With unforgettable performances from Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish, Girlfriends), Louis Gossett Jr. (An Officer and a Gentleman, Iron Eagle), and China Anne McClain (Black Lightning, A.N.T. Farm), this movie tackles themes of family, justice, and love. Greg and Aaron react to the most emotional and powerful scenes, offering their commentary on the courtroom drama, Monty's struggles, and the heartfelt moments with his daughters. They also reflect on their reactions to Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Madea's Family Reunion—a continuing celebration of Perry's body of work.

After new episodes drop, fans of TV shows take to social media to dissect what they just saw. Dr. Morgan Smalls says shows that feature Black women protagonists and majority Black casts, like Insecure and Being Mary Jane, inspire important conversations about race on social media. And: Disney princesses can be a bit of a scapegoat for what's wrong with representations of women in movies. One of the problems: they don't have many healthy female relationships. Jessica Stanley talks about the toxic relationships of wicked stepsisters and evil witches and how modern Disney movies are doing better. Later in the show: Movies and television tell stories about who we are and who we get to be. What does that mean for people who don't find themselves on the screen? Andre Cavalcante explores the history of trans representation in the media and how trans women have subverted the stories so often told about them. Plus: Movies are so much more than entertainment--they shape the way we see the world around us. Even when we don't realize it. Kimberly Brown looks at common stereotypes of Black women in movies and what it means for a casual moviegoer to watch film in an anti-racist way.

Yolande Thame has been a Set Designer in the US film industry for several years and is currently based out of Atlanta, Georgia. She also works on location in different cities across the US, wherever the most interesting productions take her. If asked, Ms. Thame would describe herself as an architect for television and feature films, bringing obscure ideas and fantastical art concepts to reality so that construction teams can build environments for the actors to bring to life. Her digital modeling tools include Autodesk Revit, McNeel Rhinocerous3D, Unreal Engine, and Blender3D, among others. She has the skill to take abstract scratches on a napkin and turn them into realistic spaces (with all the correct building proportions) that ultimately support the cast and crew to operate safely and tell a story effectively.Miss Thame has worked on a wide range of projects from tent-pole features for Marvel like Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and WB's upcoming Latin American superhero, Blue Beetle, indie films such as Universal's Please Don't Destroy, New Line Cinema's TAG, and FilmNation's McDonald's-origin bio-drama, The Founder, streaming products for Netflix like Hillbilly Elegy and True Memoirs of An International Assassin, culturally relevant mini-series like 20th Century FOX's Genius: Aretha, to episodic series like CW's Dynasty, BET's Being Mary Jane, AMC's Hap & Leonard and OWN's beloved mega-church drama, Greenleaf. Presently, she is working on an undisclosed adventure series in Dallas, Texas.Ms. Thame pivoted to this industry after years as a project manager for boutique construction firms and a marketing manager with the wood division of Herman Miller, a corporate furniture design company. After being passed over for promotions and finally laid off during the 2008 financial market crash, she decided to retrain and pursue her true passion, storytelling on the big screen.

Kicking off Football Friday, We sit down with one of the best NFL running backs to ever play, Thomas Jones who found new success in life after football.  It is not an unfamiliar story that athletes struggle to transition in their post careers or to find something as fulfilling as the sport they dedicated their life to but developing a new identity gave new purpose to the former running back. Jones, a member of the 10,000 rushing yards club and a recent Pro Football Hall of Fame Nominee, opens up to Ryan, Fred and Channing about his journey to become who he is today, from a small town and strict family upbringing to playing on the big stage of the NFL and now a Hollywood star.  After a very successful on field career and one of the best at the position to play the game, Jones found himself lost after stepping away from the NFL losing that the locker room camaraderie and everyday focus was difficult. Going from waking up early in the morning to being at a NFL facility, Jones found himself on the verge of becoming an alcoholic drinking every morning headed down a dark path until he was introduced to acting which he says, saved his life. Determined to take on a new identity, Ryan points out that when you Google this former star-studded athlete, he's known for being an “American Actor” rather than an “Ex-NFL Player.” Jones shares with the guys that this distinction was intentional as he has now carved a niche for himself in Hollywood with break out roles in the film industry including, Straight Out Of Compton, Being Mary Jane, P-Valley and now as a Show Runner and Producer in the unscripted world, documenting the lives of other former NFL players adjusting to life after football.  Of Course the banter with Channing continues as he starts asking the Channing type questions including what the sex scenes are like and intimate moments on screen with famed actresses such as Gabrielle Union as well as diving into some of his former high profile relationships, specifically his history with actress Meagan Good. Tap in every Tuesday at Noon eastern and on Fridays at 3:30pm est to catch some of the best conversations around sports and culture with life lessons.

0:09: This is the game where we find out if this is the Bull***t. A Woman is arrested for putting fake KKK memos in her neighbor's mailboxes. A Call Center Worker and three other people were running a hotel scam on the government's dollar. And A 55 woman living in PA, drives to South Jersey, to kill her father and his girlfriend because she is no longer in the will. These crime stories are a mouthful and worth a listen on America's favorite intro: This is the BS.11:31: Intro/Takeoff12:59: Is it just me or has A.D.D. caused Black America to have selective hearing as well? I only ask because the brilliance of Dave Chappelle have made groups of people unhinged, jealous, bitter, and determined to cancel someone who has made keen opinions based on his observations and through educating himself. The greatest comedian the last 20 years has put together a great collection of stand up comedy I urge you to give it a listen because there is nothing else like it! And also I say this with love: Rest In Peace to Trans Comedian Daphne Dorman who reminded us that she was having A HUMAN EXPERIENCE. Love all even when differences need to be settled. 29:38: Why is hard for Haitians to be Haitian Americans?37:31: Two alleged racist teachers. Find out which racist we believe should sue their school and why.46:42: Here lies BET. A network that was once a HUB for African Americans. I mean it still is sort of but no. What happened to Video Soul? Rap City? BET News? Donnie Simpson? Being Mary Jane? Where's the good programming? Why did BET let Tyler Perry do this to BET?

Today, we'll be discussing the BET series that quickly became a household name: Being Mary Jane! Being Mary Jane allowed viewers to explore the inner world of a highly successful, but romantically unfulfilled TV news anchor. Mary Jane has the perfect job, her dream home, and a supportive family, but no man, and a ticking biological clock. This seemingly very basic premise launched a hit series, but what exactly made Being Mary Jane so intriguing? Stay tuned!

The Spook Who Sat by the Door (1969), by Sam Greenlee, is the fictional story of Dan Freeman, the first black CIA officer, and of the CIA's history of training persons and political groups who later used their specialised training in gathering intelligence, political subversion, and guerrilla warfare against the CIA. For the purposes of this talk we will concern ourselves less with the paramilitary aspects of the film, but rather with the way in which the power of perception can be a force for liberation and how the Bahá'í concept of the Pupil of the Eye--a term used to refer to the spiritual perception of people of African descent--is framed within the context of the film. The term 'spook' has multiple meanings: a ghost or spectre; a spy or covert agent; and a derogatory way to refer to black people. What the film does is to use the term subversively to describe how African Americans have occupied a seemingly passive, subservient position in the minds of the dominant culture. This dismissive attitude overlooked the active power of observation which the black community utilized to learn the behaviour and attitudes of the dominant white community and then to formulate effective modalities of survival based on that information, while the white community remained largely unaware of the inner life of African Americans. It is this capacity to stare deeply into the soul of America, to recognize its contradictions; it's fissures and moral inconsistencies that is an indispensable mechanism for eradicating the scourge of racism. As the Bahá'í writings so eloquently say: "truthfulness is the foundation of all human virtues." Masud Ashley Olufani is an Atlanta-based actor, mixed media artist, and writer whose studio practice is rooted in the discipline of sculpture.

Toy has worked as the signature voice for channels such as Nick Jr., NBC-11, MTV, Centric, BETHer, VH1 and Aspire. Her wealth of promo experience earned her a 2016 Voice Arts™ Award (Outstanding TV Promo Campaign, Best Voiceover) for BET's, Black Girls Rock, with subsequent nominations in 2017 (Being Mary Jane, Rebel) and in 2018 (Outstanding TV Narration, 3o Years of Soul Train Awards.) In 2019, Toy was nominated yet again for her role as the promo voice of ESPN's 2018 US Open Tennis Championship 2-week event, and became the newest imaging voice of Sirius XM channel, Progress 127. She has voiced numerous national commercial campaigns for brands including AT&T, Shoe Carnival, JC Penney and Old Navy. Her lead role as the firecracker Old Navy mannequin character, “Michelle”, in the wildly popular “Supermodelquins” ads was part of the most successful and highest sales-boosting campaign in the store's recent history. Toy has even crossed into animation and video games, voicing characters in Nickelodeon's hit cartoon, Go Diego, Go! and Rockstar Games cult classic, Need For Speed: Undercover, as well as the portrayal of several characters in EA Sports' Midnight Club Los Angeles as a motion capture actress. Toy's dynamic energy, presence and musical edge also makes her a go-to for star-studded events where, as the live announcer, she has welcomed some of the most iconic names in entertainment, music and pop culture to the stage. She was the live announcer voice of the Image© Award-Winning UNCF's An Evening of Stars Tribute to Lionel Richie & AEOS Tribute to Patti Labelle, as well as VH1 Hip Hop Honors 2005, 2006 and a 2016 encore. Also in 2016, she was the live announcer for Airbnb Open LA, introducing top executives and celebrities— from Gwyneth Paltrow to Ashton Kutcher (broadcasting simultaneously across six separate venues.)
