Podcasts about Poetic justice

Send us a textThe evening starts messy—mics checking, bottles clinking—and turns into the kind of roundtable that makes you want to jump in. We swap theater hacks, laugh at the cost of a refill, then slide straight into memories of soundtracks that raised us: Juice, Poetic Justice, Above the Rim. From there, it's a full-on culture sprint through hip-hop's golden moments and its most eyebrow-raising lyrics, the bars we once shouted that now make us pause—and laugh anyway.We go deep on Black cinema: Friday's unstoppable quotables, Harlem Nights' all-star magic, New Jack City's street iconography, Love Jones' grown romance, School Daze and Do the Right Thing reshaping campus and city conversations. We throw love at biopics that set the bar—Denzel's Malcolm X and Jamie Foxx's Ray—and ask why some performances feel definitive. Expect hot takes, curveballs, and a watchlist you'll actually use all month long: Penitentiary, Uptown Saturday Night, Let's Do It Again, Cornbread Earl and Me, The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh, and more.Sports and spectacle make a cameo. We kick around Super Bowl predictions, halftime hype, commercials worth caring about, and even question who the game is really for. Then it's back to joy: karaoke plans, catfish updates, and the movies on our radar right now. If you need a fast way to build a Black History Month queue, we've got you covered with a mix of canon and cult, heavy and hilarious, glossy and gritty. Hit play for laughs, stay for the list, and leave with five films to watch tonight.If this episode made you argue with your speakers, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and drop your top five Black movies in a review—what did we miss?Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  Parody month concludes with Keleigh's mandated movie: DON'T BE A MENACE TO SOUTH CENTRAL WHILE DRINKING YOUR JUICE IN THE HOOD.  Now, I know what you're thinking.  It was called "Menace II Society" so shouldn't the title be "Don't Be a Menace II South Central While Drinking Your Juice In the Hood"? Yes but I think we can cut the Wayans Bros. some slack for this oversite due to the restraint they showed with their film's title by name dropping "Higher Learning," "Poetic Justice," and "Jungle Fever" in the film's tagline rather than jamming them in the title as well. 0:00 - Trivial Trivia 21:02 - Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice In the Hood review 56:56 - Next episode's mandated movie We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.  If you'd like to watch it, click here to find where it's streaming or available to rent.

The crew is back, and we're diving into a 25-year-old hood classic Baby Boy with friend of the show and internet fam, RICO! Freshly added to The Criterion Collection with Boyz N the Hood and Poetic Justice, John Singleton's film hits different in 2026. It's raw, reflective, and honest about young Black men being coddled by family, the lack of emotional immaturity, and the moment life forces them to grow up.In this episode, we break it ALL down: Have we ever been a Jody? The moments we saw ourselves a little too clearly. Melvin's impact and why his role might be one of the film's most important pieces. What makes Baby Boy a classic and why it still resonates today. If Pea's character was necessary or wasted potential? Yvette's journey, the choices she makes, and the advice we'd give her. Black men in the home and how the movie frames that conversation. Snoop as Rodney , did we get enough? Did we want more? Plus, we pit Insecure vs. Baby Boy, and Jason hits Jazz with a full UNO reverse in “THIS OR THAT.” And you already know why you're here… WAS IT GOOD THOUGH?!

For more than 26 years, Tamer Nafar has bent language into a weapon, a mirror, and the airplane's black box.In his words: "The world is a crashing plane. I'm not Captain Sully; I cannot save the day. I'm that black box. I'm nothing but that black box. I document, eject seat, then cash out."From the birth of Palestinian hip-hop to today, his voice has never separated art from truth or culture from resistance.In this episode, we sit with Tamer at a pivotal moment. As he prepares to release his first English-language album, In the Name of the Father, the Imam and John Lennon (out January 20), and embarks on a European tour starting January 26, he reflects on creation under pressure, the cost of speaking clearly, and why storytelling matters when everything feels at stake.Beyond music, Tamer the activist uses his platform to raise funds for organizations like Clean Shelter and Resolute RGL. He continues to write, challenge, and provoke through his political op-eds, and he is expanding his literary world with upcoming novels 3Gs and 2 ATM's.Hip‑hop taught him to be a fireman in a burning world, not because he can stop the flames, but because turning away would be to burn too.Links to everything else Tamer:Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, DAM Facebook, DAM Instagram, DAM YouTube, Junction 48Artists mentioned in episode:Suhel Nafar⁠, ⁠Djamil⁠, Maysa Daw,⁠ Rasha Nahas, MC Abdul, Noel Kharman, Nasir Al Bashir, Mahmoud JrereSongs referenced:Rock it like a Palestinian, Change the World For me, The Beat Never Goes Off, JASADIK-HOM, Min Irhabi, Johnnie Mashi, SuperLancer, #Who_You_R, Go There, Al Fashi MashiDisclaimer: This episode was recorded on December 22, 2025.

Pastor Seth Troutt delivers an insightful sermon as part of our series on Habakkuk, exploring the theme "In God We Trust" through Habakkuk chapter 2.Despite the apparent unfairness and silence from God at times, this message brings light to Habakkuk's raw honesty with God. Pastor Seth discusses how God uses a pagan nation, the Chaldeans, to execute justice on Israel, revealing the principle of poetic justice. He emphasizes that although justice may be delayed, it is not denied, and how faith in God allows us to live and endure through life's challenges.Join us as we dive deep into understanding God's judgment and mercy, and how it all points to the sacrifice of Christ, who bears the poetic justice we deserve.00:00 - Introduction00:11 - Christmas Offering Details06:07 - The Poetic Justice of God08:39 - The Five Woes18:09 - Justice Delayed is not Justice Denied24:03 - Faith gets us alive; faith keeps us alive30:59 - At the Cross**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Episode #447: Maw Shein Win, a Burmese-American poet, teacher, and literary organizer based in the Bay Area, reflects on her creative path, heritage, and commitment to poetry as witness and connection. Maw Shein Win turned to poetry while in college. She also immersed herself in the punk and experimental music scene of 1980s Los Angeles. This affected the arc of her career, as collaboration across disciplines— music, performance, and visual art— became central to her practice, and is a hallmark of her work. Her published collections include Invisible Gifts (2018), Storage Unit for the Spirit House (2020), as well as smaller works like Tales of a Lonely Meat Eater and Scorned Bone. Storage Unit for the Spirit House emerged from time spent in storage spaces during a personal transition, merging that imagery with Burmese “spirit houses.” She says a major theme in her work is “containers”— whether memory, the body, or physical spaces— along with impermanence, healing, and family. Deeply connected to Myanmar, she collaborates with Burmese writers to raise awareness and funds, emphasizing poetry's role as witness. She stresses the importance of keeping the country's struggles visible, given the decline in international media coverage. “Even if a reader has never been to Myanmar or knows nothing about it, a poem can be an entry point into understanding,”she explains. To emerging poets, she advises “find your communities,” since no single circle can sustain a writer. For Maw Shein Win, poetry bridges cultures and art forms, opening doors for connection, empathy, and new ways of seeing.

5pm: Open Phones on Kirk // Open Phones on Kirk - Haley: “It was poetic justice” // Letters

The Lord writes the best stories. See if you can find the hand of God in everything we read today and then know that His hand is in your life in the same way. You can trust Jesus and our nation can trust the Lord's purposes will be accomplished for our state and our nation. “Why are the nations in an uproar And the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!” He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them. Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury, saying, “But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.” “I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware.' ” Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth. Worship the Lord with reverence And rejoice with trembling. Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭12‬ ‭

Icon, legend, Academy Award winning actress Regina King joins Kelly! Regina spills on THAT iconic Watch What Happens Live episode with Jackée Harry, how her late son inspired her latest venture, and if she feels his presence.

Ever wondered if justice will ever come your way? Sometimes, it feels like hurt goes unanswered and pain lingers longer than it should. But what if God's justice isn't about revenge — but freedom through forgiveness and grace?In this heartfelt episode of Tea Time with Just Rosie Moore, I share my personal story of being hurt by someone close, only to experience God's perfect timing and poetic justice years later. It's a journey through pain, forgiveness, and finding freedom when you finally let go.If you're holding onto hurt or waiting for things to be set right, this message will inspire you to trust God's timing, forgive deeply, and walk in peace — even when it's hard.

In our last episode, we broke down the music of 2Pac, now we're flipping the script (see what we did there?) and diving into the film career of Tupac Shakur. We rewatched his entire filmography and reviewed every role, from the iconic to the...not so great. From his chilling performance as Bishop in Juice to his nuanced portrayal of heroin-addicted jazz musician in Gridlock'd, we cover all six of his films. We're discussing favorite scenes, favorite characters and favorite lines. We also get into what roles made famous by others that we would have liked to have seen Tupac play, and which of his characters that we could be friends with.This episode is filled with spoilers, but these movies came out over 30 years ago, so, you've had time. :-)For more episodes that we've done, head to our website, troypodcast.com.If you're enjoying the content that we're making and you're looking for ways to support our independent podcast, here's a little something that you can do:Please leave us a 5 star rating or review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podchaser or Goodpods.If it's merch that you're looking for, check out our store, Nuthin' But A Tee Thang, at teethang.comSpreading the word about the show to your friends and family helps too.Sign up for our monthly newsletter, Liner Notes.However you choose to support, know that it is greatly appreciated as always.

Rosewood tells the story of an independent Black township in Florida and the barbaric racial violence it faced in 1923, incited by a white woman's false accusation of assault and the Klan-assisted mob that followed. It's believed that over 100 Black citizens were murdered during the attacks, though the true number has never been properly counted.Despite the brutality, the legacy of Rosewood was forgotten—suppressed for nearly 60 years by both those who endured it and those who carried out the violence—until investigators uncovered the truth. That reckoning ultimately led to a 1994 vote in the Florida State Legislature to pay reparations to the survivors and their descendants.In Singleton's hands, the story of Rosewood becomes a rich, downtempo historical epic of properly grave tone; a film that never shies away from the violent realities of Black life in America's south in the early 20th century, the racial animus stoked by class anxieties and lingering slavery era resentments, and the complicity of white audiences and their ancestors in carrying out the violence that shaped our country's past and present.We discuss Singleton's inimitable capacity to juggle the rhythms of mainstream studio moviemaking with the formal radicalism of a Black story told with limited equivocation and compromise, as well as how blockbuster moviemaking primes us for absolution rather than honest reckoning. Then, we explore the rich character work within the film, how Singleton utlizies the embellishments of genre and archetype to root Blackness in a cinematic history linked conspicuously to white supremacy, and the refreshing stroke of having "no good white guys" in the movie. Finally, we relate the film to Coogler's latest, where it achieves a similar filmic mastery as well as where we feel it falls short of Singleton's vision.Read The Rosewood Massacre at Esquire MagazineWatch The 1983 Rosewood Massacre segment from 60 MinutesRead Robert Daniels on Sinners at Roger Ebert....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

In this special episode of Rock is Lit, veteran rocker and author Elliott Murphy talks about and shares an excerpt from his novel ‘Marty May'. Once a rising rock star in 1970s New York, virtuoso guitarist Marty May has lost it all—his career, his marriage, and his record deal. Now, at 33, he's alone, drowning in debt, and questioning his future. Should he return to his blues roots with his old mentor, Blind Red Rose? Set in the 1980s, when the music industry prioritized business over artistry, ‘Marty May' is a poignant tale of talent, temptation, and staying true to one's beliefs—elegant and tragic, like ‘The Great Gatsby' in the age of rock 'n' roll. Living in Paris for 30 years as an expatriate New Yorker, Elliott Murphy remains as active as ever in music and literature. With over 35 albums to his name, he continues to tour worldwide while earning critical acclaim. His debut album, ‘Aquashow' (1973), launched a celebrated career that includes ‘Lost Generation', ‘Night Lights' (featuring Billy Joel), and ‘Selling The Gold' (featuring Bruce Springsteen). In 2016, a biopic on his career, ‘The Second Act Of Elliott Murphy', won the Audience Award at the Dock of the Bay Film Festival. Born into a show business family, Elliott began his career as a troubadour in Europe before securing a U.S. record deal. Alongside his music, he is a prolific author, publishing four novels, including the rock trilogy ‘Marty May', ‘Tramps', and ‘Diamonds By The Yard', as well as ‘Poetic Justice'. His short story “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” was adapted into the 2020 film ‘Broken Poet', in which he stars alongside Michael O'Keefe, Marisa Berenson, and a rare cameo appearance by Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa. In recognition of his artistic contributions, Elliott was named a Chevalier des Arts et Lettres by the French Minister of Culture in 2015 and inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2018.

In this week's episode of So What Now, Carla and Dex dive into the tricky topic of whether it's ever okay to air intimate details of past relationships, discussing the drama surrounding Royce Reed and Dwight Howard's public feud. The love theme continues with a deep dive into iconic black love stories from classic films. Carla and Dex go head-to-head over Love and Basketball. While Carla believes it's one of the greatest love stories, Dex argues that Monica might've “settled” for her man. The conversation also touches on other beloved films like Poetic Justice and Boomerang, exploring the highs and lows of love and the lessons we take from them. To wrap things up, they bring some much-needed levity with a feel-good of the week: Reality TV. In a world full of stress, there's nothing like escaping into the absurd drama of the rich and famous. From ridiculous fights to jaw-dropping moments, we are reminded to laugh at the unseriousness of it all. Tune in for laughs, heated debates, and of course, a little dose of reality!

How do you remake a classic?  Well in the case of trying to bring back the LEGENDARY Private Detective John Shaft of the 1971 Gordon Parks cult hit starring Richard Roundtree, acclaimed director John Singleton (Boyz N The Hood, Poetic Justice) teamed with acclaimed writer Richard Writer (The Color of Money, Clockers) to....NOT remake it, they decided to "re-imagine" the character as a former NYPD cop trying to exact justice in late '90's New York City.  Oscar-nominee Samuel L. Jackson now plays the titular character with Roundtree returning to play his uncle.  This time around, Shaft is determined to bring justice for the racially-charged murder of an innocent young man at a NYC club.  The murderer is played by Oscar-winner Christian Bale (The Fighter), the witness whom Shaft has to find is played by Oscar-nominee Toni Colette (The Sixth Sense).....and beyond that, Shaft also has to combat corrupt local cops PLUS local drug kingpin Peoples Hernandez played by Oscar-nominee Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction).  Throw in some high-octane action, Busta Rhymes as Shaft's driver, AND....the iconic Oscar-winning theme song from Isaac Hayes and what do you get?  Besides several Oscar nominees, you happen to get a surprisingly enjoyable (and very timely) action thriller to kick off Black History Month.  Can you dig it? :)    Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

We are featuring a feed drop from a brand-new show recently launched on the RQ Network: Plant Murder. Created and Hosted by Aaron Reardon the talented creator behind Selene. Plant Murder is a podcast that unearths the deadly intersection of plants and true crime. Each episode delves into the dark history behind fascinating plants, their fatal impact on infamous figures, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding their use. In this first episode, Claudius, the emperor of Rome, is seated at a feast surrounded by his family, trusted servants, and assorted delicacies. But something about this night is different. It happens fast—. One minute, he's gorging himself on his favorite foods, the next, he collapses, and vomits blood across the mosaic floor, his body convulsing. Within hours, he's dead. As Claudius lay gasping for breath on the cold marble floor, his body wracked with convulsions, the evidence of his murder was already slipping away. What killed him? Poison in the mulsum wine. The oysters? Or his favorite, a tiny hidden killer – slipped onto his place of Mushrooms! And who put it there? Join us for this episode of Roman intrigue as we peel back the mystery and determine if it was Plant Murder! Introduction and outro by Billie Hindle. Listen to Plant Murder on The Rusty Quill website, on Acast, or wherever you get your podcasts, or learn more about Plant Murder on its official website.

His stammer, limp, and other challenges were frequently weaponized against him by a ruthless elite, but his struggles did not define his intellect or accomplishments. In fact it showed great strength of character to weather those slights and persist. Claudius' weakness lay in his trusting nature, not in his disabilities. It is my hope that this episode reflects that understanding.
