The BBC is apologizing after a racial slur was shouted during the BAFTAs last night in London. Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo (both Oscar nominees for "Sinners") were presenting the first award of the night when the n-word could be heard shouted out in the theater. The show host later apologized to the audience and blamed the outburst on a man's Tourette Syndrome. But that didn't stop an intense and heated debate online; many suggesting there's no way this was a coincidence. Whatever you do, please listen to the end of this episode where Amy and T. J. apply context and explain "coprolalia," a term you might not be familiar with but might explain why the incident might not have anything to do with racism.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 1:45 Chandra has been going through a tough time and we've been protecting our peace. We celebrate our 20 year anniversary next week! I founded Celebitchy in February, 2006 and Chandra has worked here since late 2008. Royals: Minutes 1:45 to 14:00 Prince Andrew was arrested at Wood Farm in Sandringhham on Thursday for "suspicions of misconduct in public office." New documents in the latest Epstein file release suggest that he traded confidential information with Epstein in a kind of quid pro quo for access to trafficked girls. Police also searched Andrew's former residence, Royal Lodge. Andrew had to be forced out of Royal Lodge earlier this month after being spotted riding his horse and waving to tourists. He was originally supposed to move out last year. In the latest cache of Epstein files it came out that Epstein had trafficked a 20-year-old woman to Prince Andrew in 2010. Andrew could face years in jail. King Charles issued a statement after Andrew's arrest saying, in part, "the law must take its course." His previous statement from February 9 was that he stands "ready to support" the police "as you would expect," and "their Majesties' thoughts and sympathies have been, and remain with, the victims of any and all forms of abuse." Other family members have also said they were thinking of the victims. Charles and Queen Elizabeth's defense has been that they believed Andrew's lies. This defense falls flat when you consider that they had MI6 at their disposal. Andrew still has royal protection somehow. We learned too many things that we don't want to know about Epstein and his evil associates. We don't get into the details. I pay a segment from Zoom from last week we talked about the royals and Epstein. Chandra hopes that Andrew has to face real consequences and thinks this may be the end of the monarchy as everyone is involved. We've heard that Prince William's charity received donations from known close associates to Epstein. Will and Kate are mishandling this despite hiring a crisis manager. William recently did a BBC interview were he talked about men's mental health. This was widely criticized as tone deaf. Oscar-nominated movies: Minutes 14 to end Chandra has seen Sinners, One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, The Secret Agent, Bugonia, Frankenstein and half of Sentimental Value. I've seen Sinners, One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, Frankenstein, Train Dreams and half of Hamnet. I didn't like Train Dreams or Hamnet, although I only saw half of Hamnet. Chandra loved Sentimental Value and says the acting is amazing. She hopes Wagner Moura wins best actor for The Secret Agent. She loathed Marty Supreme and thinks Timothee Chalamet should not win for that performance. I liked Marty Supreme a lot. My favorite movie is Sinners and I want Michael B. Jordan to win. Chandra wants Teyana Taylor to win supporting actress. This awards season has been chaotic. I also saw If I Had Legs I'd Kick You and didn't like it. Chandra liked Bugonia but mostly for the ending. She also loved Lanthimos' Poor Things and thinks Emma Stone deserved the Oscar for that.
Michael B. Jordan is so busy right now he'd actually benefit from having a twin to help lighten the workload. The actor, a self-proclaimed workaholic, is nominated for his first Oscar for his performance as twin brothers in Ryan Coogler's Sinners, and he's also in post-production on a project he's both directing and starring in, The Thomas Crown Affair. Rebecca caught up with him after the Academy Nominees Luncheon to talk about why Sinners was the hardest role of his career, how therapy has helped him as an actor, and how he protects his personal life. Plus, he answers a slew of rapid-fire questions about movies and filmmaking. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
We are joined this week by author, screen writer, and friend of the show, Briana Cox to talk about Ryan Coogler's endeavors under the banner of the Marvel Cinematic universe: Black Panther 1 and 2. Both movies feature Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, Letitia Wright, Martin Freeman, among many others. Looking back we discuss the impact the first film had on the culture, our love/hate relationship with the first film and the failures of the second, how both movies sugar coat the CIA's history of violating the sovereignty of African nations, and one of the most important thing the movies did was open mainstream audiences to the beauty of Afrofuturism.To check out some of the works mentioned during the episode, follow these links:Born in FlamesSpace is the PlaceNaked RealityBeasts of the Southern WildSpider-Man: Into the Spider-VerseSpider-Man: Across the Spider-VerseInto the Mother Lands: An Afrofuturist TTRPGGuest LinksOfficial WebsitePreorder Indigent!Briana on InstagramBriana on ThreadsLeft of the Projector LinksOfficial WebsiteLeft of the Projector on InstagramLeft of the Projector on PatreonLeft of the Projector on ThreadlessHost LinksEvan's LetterboxdBill's InstagramBill's LetterboxdWard's...

Près de 10 ans après son émergence, le mouvement MeToo a libéré la parole des femmes sur les violences sexuelles, mais également remis en cause les relations hommes-femmes. Partout dans le monde, la condition masculine est questionnée non sans tension. Comme un boomerang, l'émancipation des femmes a fait ressurgir des discours masculinistes et des réflexes machistes de la part de certains hommes. Sur les réseaux sociaux et les forums, ils se revendiquent en homme fort, viril, dominant et accusent les femmes d'être la cause de leur problème. De l'autre côté du spectre, de nouvelles masculinités émergent, des modèles où la vulnérabilité, l'écoute, le soin auraient toute leur place chez un homme, ouvrant ainsi des brèches dans l'imaginaire viriliste. Entre héritage patriarcal, discours masculinistes, nouvelles attentes sociales, comment se construire en tant qu'homme à l'ère post MeToo ? Quels impacts sur les relations hommes-femmes ? Comment élever des garçons sans reproduire des modèles de domination ? Avec : • Estelle Ndjandjo, journaliste et présentatrice de la chronique Voisins connectés, diffusées chez 8 milliards de voisins. Et nos invitées : • Mouhamadou le Prof, professeur des écoles dans le Val-de-Marne, personnalité des réseaux sociaux, auteur de Mouhamadou, le prof : 50 histoires vécue (Hachette 2024) • Annvor Seim Vestrheim, autrice du livre Les Incels, du clic à l'attentat (Les éditions du remue-ménage, 2026). En fin d'émission, la chronique de Jennifer Lufau : Jennyfer analyse des nouvelles figures masculines noires dans la fiction : Miles Morales, Chidi (The Good Place), Omar Sy (Lupin), Michael B. Jordan. Des personnages qui proposent d'autres manières d'être homme, loin des archétypes dominants. Programmation musicale : ► Les garçons ne pleurent pas – DINOS ► Bacari - Malha.

This weekend, the world is celebrating the second most important romance holiday in February (see last week's episode for the most important)—Valentine's Day! To lean into the traditions of the day, we thought we'd offer you a dozen roses this week, in the form of books! We're taking the topic broadly—from character names, to author names, to rose scented things, to roses on the page — historical, contemporary, mafia and more…there's something in here for everyone.
On the Overthinking It Podcast, we tackle the Ryan Coogler film “Sinners,” starring Michael B. Jordan and Michael B. Jordan. Episode 918: You Can Talk to the Vampires; You Can't Talk to the Klan originally appeared on Overthinking It, the site subjecting the popular culture to a level of scrutiny it probably doesn't deserve.

Tread Perilously returns to the land of made-for-TV movies with 1982's Mysterious Two. When two people known as He and She convince their followers to invade a town in the Southwest because "it is time," a local sheriff, a magazine reporter, and a young man looking for his missing girlfriend converge on the site. There, He and She promise to uplift "the People of Tomorrow" if they sell all their earthly possessions and buy enough sustenance for the journey to come. The young man, a flautist, is not convinced, but will the other become converts to this suspiciously familiar pair of cult leaders? Erik and Justin get lost in the Heaven's Gate of it all as the movie is based on the early activities of Marshall Applewhite and his partner at the time. The evidence of the film's 1979 production is also very apparent. Erik defies Justin's expectation about his knowledge of the movie's existence. An X-Files discussion breaks out. Erik appreciates the presence of Dynasty star John Forsythe, Alice's Vic Tayback, and a few other notable faces. Desk chili becomes surprisingly important. Rules, of course, do not apply to Michael B. Jordan. The ambiguity about the Mysterious Two proves to be the film's greatest flaw. But will the film's overall beige-ness prove a barrier, too?
Once Upon a Time in the world of professional boxing....Apollo Creed was the champion of the world. He eventually lost his title to Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone who would receive an Oscar nomination for his performance in this film) who would also lose the title before winning it back with Apollo as his trainer. They remained very good friends right up until the day that Apollo tragically lost his life during an exhibition match against the feared Russian boxer, Ivan Drago. But did you know that Apollo actually had a son right before he died??That son is Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) and he has now become a boxer himself to the consternation of his mother (Phylicia Rashad), only he has been struggling to find some one who can train him. So one day he travels across the country to Philadelphia to seek out the former champion whom his father trained when he needed him the most.....and after some hesitation, Rocky decides to train him as he works his way up the professional boxing circuit. Along the way, Adonis also finds a companion in Philly with the lovely singer Bianca (Tessa Thompson) when suddenly, he has the opportunity to fight for the SAME boxing title which his father previously had. What results is one of the most beloved sports dramas of recent years directed by future Oscar-nominee Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Sinners) as his first major studio film.

You'll learn: -How to stay hopeful without denying reality -Why compassion is a form of courage -What resilience looks like when life is hard -How to find purpose and meaning by helping others -How to stop numbing out and start showing up again -How small actions create real change -Exactly what you can do in your community to make a difference Bryan is here to show you how to look deeper within yourself and to stand up even when the world is telling you to sit down.And in doing that, he'll remind you that hope might just be the most powerful gift you can give to the world, to other people, and to yourself.For more resources, click here for the podcast episode page.

Hey framily! We kinda stepped away for a minute. Ryan was living his best life, and somehow everything fell apart while we were gone. Coincidence? We think not.In this episode of Virgo Season, Joyhdae and Ryan reunite after a much-needed break and immediately dive headfirst into mess, madness, and moments that'll have you yelling “ABSOLUTELY NOT” at your phone. From a viral social media story about a man living a full double life with two families to Black excellence dominating the Oscar nominations, this episode is everywhere — emotionally, culturally, and spiritually.We break down toxic relationship chaos pulled straight from the timeline, why being the “other woman” sometimes comes with a lease and a baby, and how accountability keeps missing the group chat. Then we pivot into pop culture wins, viral jingles turning into real money, and political foolishness that deserves to be addressed loudly and clearly.And because it's Virgo Season, we close the only way we know how: dark humor, dad vs auntie jokes, and one final reminder that Joyhdae might actually be writing a serial killer novel. Allegedly.Somewhere between chaos and clarity — yeah, we're right back where we belong.⸻Segment BreakdownWhere Have You Been? (The Reunion)Joyhdae and Ryan return from hiatus, immediately start arguing, and explain why the show is about to feel a little more raw and a lot more honest.Absolutely Not: Straight From Social MediaA viral story pulled directly from the timeline that sounds fake but unfortunately isn't. Two relationships, one baby, six years of lies, and zero accountability. We unpack why love is not enough when trust is nonexistent.Black Excellence on the Big ScreenHistoric Oscar nominations, Ryan Coogler praise, Michael B. Jordan delusion watch, and why the culture deserves to celebrate loudly.Dr. Pepper Baby Is Good & NiceA viral jingle turns into a serious bag. We talk creator credit, brand fumbling, and why companies need to stop playing in Black creators' faces.Political Chaos & Cultural Side-EyeNicki Minaj, Don Lemon, MAGA alignment, ICE horror stories, and why “mind your business” is not an option in 2026.Dad vs Auntie JokesTerrible jokes. Worse punchlines. Zero regrets.⸻Subscribe, Like, and Stay With UsIf you laughed, gasped, or whispered “they're right but damn,” do us a favor:• Subscribe on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts• Like the episode and leave a review• Drop a comment and tell us which segment stressed you out the mostWe live in the comments.

Update on our week: The Freeform Radio crew kicks off the new episode full of movies, games, sports, and tech talk. Noel starts things off with a blunt review of Aquaman 2, breaking down why the long-delayed DC sequel falls flat despite its massive budget, uneven CGI, and rushed finale. He then shifts gears to recommend Guy Ritchie's The Covenant, praising the intense, emotional military drama starring Jake Gyllenhaal, and shares his excitement after finally beating Horizon Forbidden West. Danny follows up with a look at Netflix's Elway documentary, highlighting the legendary quarterback's career, personal struggles, and lasting legacy. He also reviews the game RoboCop: Rogue City, calling it a polished AA-style shooter packed with nostalgic nods to the classic films. To wrap up his segment, he dives into the supernatural horror film The Sinners, applauding its atmosphere, music, and unique twin-performance by Michael B. Jordan. Andy brings the energy with a passionate recap of the Chicago Bears' dramatic playoff comeback win over the Green Bay Packers, calling it one of the most exciting moments in recent franchise history. The guys debate whether the Bears can keep their momentum going and what the win means for the future of the NFC North. The episode closes with Andy's “Article of the Week,” exploring a new PlayStation 5 jailbreak exploit tied to the rare Star Wars: Racer Revenge disc. The crew discusses the implications for retro gaming, emulation, hardware security, and whether jailbreaking consoles is worth the hassle in today's gaming landscape. From superhero disappointments and standout war films to Bears fever and next-gen hacking, this episode delivers a wide-ranging, opinionated, and entertaining start to the new year on Freeform Radio.

TVFormer Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel has stage 2 kidney disease. According to Page Six, https://pagesix.com/2026/01/22/celebrity-news/bethenny-frankel-announces-stage-2-kidney-disease-diagnosis/ Gwyneth Paltrow recently shared her strategies for managing anxiety during an Instagram AMA (Ask Me Anything). https://people.com/gwyneth-paltrow-gives-her-advice-for-managing-anxiety-shouting-at-the-bushes-it-helps-11890157 AND FINALLYNominations for the 98th Academy Awards are out!Actors Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman revealed the nominees. Sinners received 16 nominations; a record-breaking nomination count for the most in Academy Awards history. The supernatural thriller received nominations for best picture; director (Ryan Coogler); actor (Michael B. Jordan); supporting actress (Wunmi Mosaku); actor in a supporting role (Delroy Lindo); and original screenplay. Timothée Chalamet is 30 years and 26 days old, Chalamet just became the youngest male actor to receive three Oscar nominations since Marlon Brando, who achieved this feat at age 29 in 1954. Steven Spielberg has broken his own record for the most Oscar nominations as a producer, bringing his total to 14 with the nomination for Best Picture for the film "Hamnet." One Battle After Another received 13 nods, including Best Picture.The Snubs:The Cold Shoulder: The Biggest Snubs of the 2026 Oscar NominationsThe Wicked Witch of the West... Gone?The biggest shocker of the morning has to be the complete erasure of Wicked: For Good. Just last year, the first installment picked up 10 nominations. This year? Zero. Zilch.Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who were both nominated for the first film, were completely shut out of the acting categories. Even the music branch turned its back on the franchise, ignoring the two new songs written specifically for the film. It seems the magic ran out for the sequel.Paul Mescal's Shakespearean TragedyIf you were betting on Paul Mescal picking up a nomination for playing William Shakespeare in Hamnet, you lost money today. While the film itself did well—and his co-star Jessie Buckley secured a nomination—Mescal was noticeably absent from the list. It's a tough break for an actor who has been a darling of the awards circuit lately.The Strange Case of Chase InfinitiHere is a genuine head-scratcher: One Battle After Another is a massive favorite, racking up 13 nominations. Yet, its breakout lead actress, Chase Infiniti, didn't make the cut. Some insiders think her limited screen time (she's in the movie for about 30 minutes) might have hurt her chances, but considering she's the heart of the film, her absence in the Best Actress category is glaring.Guillermo del Toro Gets the "Argo" TreatmentThe Academy clearly loved Netflix's Frankenstein—it scored nine nominations, including Best Picture. But they apparently didn't love Guillermo del Toro quite enough to give him a Best Director nod. The Directors branch is notoriously finicky, and this year, they left the beloved filmmaker off the list.Blockbuster FatigueAvatar: Fire and Ash failed to secure a Best Picture nomination, a category the previous two films sailed into easily. It seems voters might finally be feeling some Pandora fatigue.Star Power Didn't Save ThemBeing an A-lister didn't help anyone this morning.George Clooney & Adam Sandler: Their film Jay Kelly was completely shut out. Usually, a Noah Baumbach movie is catnip for voters, but this one came up empty.Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: Despite a serious campaign for his dramatic turn in The Smashing Machine, he couldn't crack the lineup.Jennifer Lawrence: She gave a ferocious performance in Die My Love, but the film was likely too gritty and indie for the broader voting body.The show, hosted by Conan O'Brien, airs live on ABC on March 15th.

Burnie and Ashley discuss TikTok's future, beigns second, Oscar nominations, Oscar misses, Sinner, alien corrections, and the natural charisma of Michael B Jordan
The Oscar nominations are out! Valencia joins the show as we unpack it and give our thoughts. Does KPop Demon Hunter win over box office hit Zootopia 2? Michael B. Jordan and Timothee Chalamet are head to head for lead actor or does someone else come up and take it? We have plenty to unpack and yet we somehow end up talking about Traitors.
Netflix's ‘Star Search' reboots tonight. Is being discovered still a thing? Lamar Odom was arrested for a DUI in Vegas. Would Michael B. Jordan exist without Michael Jordan? Simu Liu talks about the shame of chasing his dreams. Sarah is sharing her opinions on the new Matt Damon and Ben Affleck movie. Matt Damon is giving a peak behind the curtain of the Netflix strategy. Shorts weather?! In January?! California. The e-bike drama continues. An AI powered robocop is helping with traffic in China. Greenland is in the news.
After another heavy stretch of headlines, debates, milestones, and cultural confusion, Izzy returns for a special Mental Man Monday livestream—this time joined by recurring guest and cultural commentator AmRock. Together, they unpack politics, race, Hollywood, conspiracy theories, and the quiet maturity that comes with recognizing when a season has reached its natural end.The episode begins with major announcements from Izzy, including PodFest week, recent podcast milestones, and the unexpected NAACP Image Award nomination for Just Heal with Dr. Jay—a moment that quietly marks a new level of credibility for the work Izzy has been doing in the mental health and personal development space. From producing shows to elevating voices, the conversation highlights how favor, timing, and consistency can shift a man's entire career when he least expects it. From there, Izzy reflects on closing out Season 9, announcing that Social Media & You Reloaded (Part 5) will serve as the official season finale.After multiple installments touching politics, race, influence, media, and masculinity, Izzy speaks candidly about burnout, discernment, and the emotional maturity required to pivot without forcing creativity. Growth isn't always about pushing harder—sometimes it's about rest, recalibration, and respecting your own limits.When AmRock joins the livestream, the conversation shifts into cultural analysis. The two revisit last week's viral episode, react to viewer disagreements and praise, and prove that two Black men can stand firm on their perspectives without hostility, ego, or performative backpedaling. This opens the door to a deeper discussion about white demographic anxiety, global population data, and why some white Americans fear becoming the “minority” in the United States despite already being global minorities. The exchange blends humor, sociology, lived experience, and uncomfortable truth-telling.Later, Izzy introduces the concept of WWID vs. WWJD—choosing when to speak, when to be bold, and when silence is wisdom. Both men acknowledge that boldness without purpose becomes chaos, while boldness with conviction becomes ministry. This naturally leads into a conversation about Hollywood, award season politics, Michael B. Jordan, Ryan Coogler, the film Sinners, and why Black cinema is so often culturally celebrated but institutionally ignored. From the Chris Rock “Oscars So White” era to current award season game theory, Izzy and AmRock explore whether it's time for an official Black award ecosystem with the same legitimacy and global influence as the Academy.What emerges throughout the livestream is a mental health conversation disguised as cultural commentary: how media shapes emotion, how identity politics trigger psychological responses, how fame is weaponized, and why men—especially Black men—need safe spaces to process complexity without being reduced to caricatures like “angry,” “uninformed,” or “victim.” Izzy closes the episode emphasizing credibility, closure, discernment, and cultural awareness. It's about knowing when a season has run its course, honoring your gifts, and refusing to be gaslit by institutions that were never built with you in mind. Because even if traditional systems don't validate you, purpose and impact will. Listen. Reflect. Apply.Because before you argue with the comments, the culture, or the critics—you have to know why you're speaking in the first place.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package
