In this episode of The Crew Has It, hosts Michael Rainey Jr. and Gianni Paolo are joined by the powerhouse talent Mekai Curtis for an unfiltered look into the ever-expanding Power Universe. Mekai pulls back the curtain on his transformative journey playing the young Kanan Stark in Power Book III: Raising Kanan and discusses the massive responsibility of transitioning into the highly anticipated prequel, Power Origins. He dives deep into the "Kanan Curriculum," revealing the intense homework and study sessions he underwent to master the specific inflections, cold mindset, and physical presence of 50 Cent's legendary portrayal. From behind-the-scenes stories about "veteran status" after five seasons to hilarious "airport breakfast" bets with co-stars like Patina Miller and London Brown, Mekai shares what it's really like on the front lines of a hit series. The conversation goes beyond the script as the crew explores the subjective nature of the acting craft, the discipline required for self-tapes, and Mekai's honest take on navigating fame, social media "doom scrolling," and maintaining a low-key personal life. Whether you're here for the deep dives into 50 Cent's iconic influence or the future of the Power franchise, this episode is a masterclass in staying sharp in the entertainment industry.

This is Episode #235 on the PopCulturePros Network, and this week's lineup has a little bit of everything: blockbuster movies, prestige television, documentaries, crime dramas, nostalgia revivals, and at least one reminder that Hollywood has absolutely no intention of slowing down.On the movie side, the spotlight shines on *Disclosure Day*, the latest cinematic event from legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg. DONMEGA dives into the film's themes, performances, and larger ideas while exploring whether Spielberg once again proves why he remains one of the most influential storytellers in movie history.

DONMEGA breaks down the action, performances, and jaw-dropping set pieces while discussing whether the hype train is running on premium fuel or just making a lot of noise. Either way, subtlety apparently did not make the final cut.On the television side, the conversation turns to *Michael Jackson: The Verdict*, the new documentary examining the legacy, controversies, and lasting impact of Michael Jackson. DONMEGA explores the revelations presented and how the documentary fits into the ongoing discussion surrounding one of music's most influential and debated figures.Meanwhile, fans of *The Bear* get a special treat with *Gary*, a spin-off episode expanding the world of one of television's most acclaimed series. DONMEGA discusses whether the experiment works and if it adds meaningful layers to the show's already rich universe.Crime drama fans won't be left out either as *Power Book III: Raising Kanan* returns for its fifth and final season. DONMEGA breaks down the premiere and what viewers can expect as the series begins its final chapter. Saying goodbye is never easy, especially when the body count tends to rise before the credits roll.And finally, nostalgia comes calling with *Life's Still Unfair*, the revival of the beloved sitcom *Malcolm in the Middle*. DONMEGA revisits the chaotic family that helped define a generation of television and answers the question every revival faces: does this return add something meaningful, or was the past already doing just fine on its own?Blockbuster movies, major TV returns, documentaries, crime dramas, and classic sitcom nostalgia all collide in *Furious Disclosure*. As always, DONMEGA delivers veteran insight, sharp observations, and just enough sarcasm to help you navigate another crowded week in entertainment.

On today's Radio Night Live: Fun Friday! Christiani Pitts, star of the Broadway play: Two Strangers (Carry a Cake across New York); & John Nimick, President at Squash Engine, Inc. & Event Producer of Sprott Tournament of Champions presented by Crowd Street ABOUT CHRISTIANI: In Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), Christiani Pitts plays Robin, a 26-year-old New Yorker struggling to find meaning while stuck in an unfulfilling, monotonous routine. Pitts was drawn to the role of Robin because of the character's relatable experience of depression, which the actress appreciates for not being over-explained in the production. Pitts' Broadway debut in A Bronx Tale, beginning as an ensemble member before taking over the co-starring role of Jane, was followed by the leading role of Ann Darrow in King Kong. She made history as the first woman of color to play Darrow, working to flesh out the character traditionally depicted as a damsel-in-distress archetype. Now, following the pandemic and the birth of her first child, Zora Makena, Pitts is back as one half of the two-hander musical rom-com Two Strangers with co-star, Sam Tutty. Currently, she recurred on Starz's Power Book III: “Raising Kanan” and starred in the Netflix feature Resort To Love. Her other credits include: Dead Ringers, “Blue Bloods,” “The Good Fight,” “Evil,” “Elementary.” Christiani is repped by Buchwald Talent and Authentic Talent & Literary Management. ABOUT TWO STRANGERS (Carry a Cake Across New York) Meet Dougal, an impossibly upbeat Brit who has just landed in New York City for the first time to attend the wedding of the father he's never met. Meet Robin, the sister of the bride and a no-nonsense New Yorker with a lot of errands to do for the bride—including picking up the groom's estranged son from the airport. These two strangers begin their journey together navigating New York City, secrets, and second chances. ABOUT JOHN: Nimick began playing pro squash in the 1980s, when hardball squash was growing in the U.S., though the sport wasn't played in arenas and received relatively little press coverage. John achieved a ranking of No. 2 on the World Professional Squash Tour in 1990-91 and won four “Grand Slam” singles squash titles during his professional career. John also won the Intercollegiate Singles title, U.S. National Singles title and numerous other singles and doubles championships. Nimick is now the president of sports marketing company Squash Engine, the leading promoter of international squash. Nimick's comprehensive, value-driven approach to sports championship and entertainment management quickly established Squash Engine as the leading promoter in international squash and enabled his forerunner company Event Engine to provide similar services to the tennis, golf and classical and popular music markets. His company is known for hosting squash championships in non-traditional venues. Its tentpole event, the Tournament of Champions, is held in New York City's Grand Central Terminal. Now, the “ToC” is the largest squash spectator tournament in the world. ABOUT TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS: The Tournament of Champions can trace its distinguished international squash lineage back to 1930 when it was first staged as the “U.S. Professional.” In the late 70's it became the World Professional Squash Championships and then the Tournament of Champions in 1992. A women's invitational draw was added to the event in 2001 with a full championship draw added in 2002-2003, 2005-2007 and 2012 forward. The tournament is the oldest, annual competition for squash professionals in the world. The list of titleholders is a veritable “who's who” of squash through the years. The tournament has been played in 17 different cities but is now closely identified with its majestic Grand Central Terminal venue where the ToC was first presented in 1995.
Christiani Pitts stops by to chat about her journey from playing a scene stealing cow in a church nativity play to leading Broadway blockbusters. She shares a hilarious story about how a miscommunication led to her performing stand up comedy at a nightclub at age eleven for an event associated with Dave Chappelle, and how her parents supported her dreams while navigating the tricky world of early industry scams. We dive deep into her experience starring in King Kong, discussing the technical insanity of acting opposite a massive puppet and how she manifested doing an action movie on stage. She also opens up about her current role in Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), exploring how the show handles mental health with subtle physicality, the "simplistically complex" set design, and the joy of balancing life as a Broadway star and a mom to a daughter who thinks she is also in the cast. Christiani Pitts is a history making performer who received critical acclaim playing Anne Darrow in the Broadway production of King Kong. After previously starring as Jane in A Bronx Tale, she played Beverly in the Netflix romantic comedy Resort to Love and starred as Pernessa in Power Book III: Raising Kanan, with additional credits including Elementary, Evil, The Good Fight, Blue Bloods, and Dead Ringers. She is currently starring as Robin in the new Broadway musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York).
