DIVING INTO THE WORLD OF TYLER PERRY!! Diary of a Mad Black Woman Full Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 With several projects on the horizon from Tyler Perry, BJ & LJ dive into this John Humphrey & Jon Maturan react to Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005), the breakout dramedy that launched Tyler Perry's film career and introduced audiences to the iconic, no-nonsense Madea. Written by and starring Tyler Perry (Madea's Family Reunion, Acrimony), the film blends melodrama, faith, romance, and sharp comedy while tackling themes of betrayal, healing, and self-worth. The story follows Helen McCarter (Kimberly Elise – Beloved, Set It Off), whose seemingly perfect life collapses when her powerful attorney husband Charles McCarter (Steve Harris – The Practice, Minority Report) abruptly abandons her for another woman. Forced to rebuild from the ground up, Helen finds refuge with her outspoken grandmother Madea and begins a slow journey toward independence and emotional recovery. Along the way, she forms a genuine connection with Orlando (Shemar Moore – Criminal Minds, S.W.A.T.), whose kindness and patience contrast sharply with the abuse she's endured. Packed with memorable moments—from Madea's courtroom antics and brutally honest life advice to the emotional reckoning that tests forgiveness and accountability—Diary of a Mad Black Woman remains one of Tyler Perry's most discussed films. We break down its cultural impact, performances, tonal shifts between comedy and drama, and why this film still resonates with audiences nearly two decades later.

Actress and producer Vivica A. Fox joins The Neil Haley Show to share the joy of the holiday season and discuss her latest Christmas film, "A Christmas Cruise," airing on the ION network. Fox reveals her cherished Christmas Day traditions, which include breakfast with her godson's family complete with mimosas, a relaxing spa visit, lunch with business partners while watching basketball games, and ending the evening with a fish fry and Uno games at her best friend's house. Beyond celebrating the holidays, she embraces her role as a "Christmas cheer angel" in Los Angeles, providing packages to families in need, emphasizing the importance of giving back during this special time of year.In "A Christmas Cruise," Fox plays Pamela Stevenson, a workaholic writer whose best friend convinces her to take a holiday cruise where she unexpectedly finds love on the high seas. The film, featuring an impressive cast including Kristoff St. John from The Young and the Restless and Nick Viall from Bachelor in Paradise, delivers a powerful message about work-life balance that resonates with Fox personally. She reflects on her illustrious career, from starring in Independence Day with Will Smith nearly 20 years ago to her current role on Empire with Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard, and her work in Set It Off with Morris Chestnut and Gabrielle Union. Fox attributes her longevity to versatility, advising young actors to become triple threats who can sing, act, and dance. As a co-producer through her company Foxy Brown Productions, she takes pride in delivering quality content to audiences, reminding viewers that success comes from doing what makes you happy and spreading love rather than chasing accolades and promotions without pause.

There are six new songs and one cover. More about that in a minute. Celebrate is the name of the EP, and the first single to come from it. Chris said that the song is about everyday small victories. The cover song is with Tyler Connolly of Theory of a Deadman, and they covered the Simple Minds classic Don't You (Forget About Me). Chris said he's always wanted to cover that song and add more punch to it. We discussed Detroit rock legends, their European tour with Alice Cooper, and more. They play District 142 on Saturday, November 22.Set It Off wraps up this episode. The guys dived into going independent a couple of years ago, and it seems to have worked for them.

Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ Now that they've caught up with the Wachowskis' seminal 1999 Sci-Fi Classic, Tara & Aaron are plugging BACK in to give their The Matrix Reloaded Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review!! Tara Erickson & Aaron Alexander react to The Matrix Reloaded (2003), the high-octane sci-fi action sequel from visionary filmmakers Lana & Lilly Wachowski (The Matrix, Cloud Atlas, Sense8). The second chapter in the groundbreaking cyberpunk saga pushes the limits of reality, philosophy, and visual effects — expanding the mythology that redefined modern cinema. Keanu Reeves (John Wick, Speed) returns as Neo, the prophesied “One” caught between destiny and doubt as he continues his fight to free humanity from the machine world. Carrie-Anne Moss (Memento, Jessica Jones) reprises her role as the fierce and loyal Trinity, while Laurence Fishburne (John Wick: Chapter 4, Apocalypse Now) commands the screen once again as Morpheus, searching for the elusive Keymaker to unlock humanity's salvation. The film also features Hugo Weaving (V for Vendetta, Lord of the Rings Trilogy) as the ever-duplicating Agent Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith (Gotham, Set It Off) as Niobe, Monica Bellucci (Spectre, Malèna) as the alluring Persephone, and Lambert Wilson (The Serpent, Cat Run 2) as the enigmatic Merovingian. Iconic and highly searched moments include the epic freeway chase, Neo's gravity-defying Burly Brawl against hundreds of Agent Smiths, the Zion dance sequence, the Keymaker's introduction, and the Architect's mind-bending revelation. Combining philosophical depth with revolutionary visual effects, The Matrix Reloaded stands as one of the most ambitious action sequels ever made — a film that expanded the universe and reshaped the boundaries of sci-fi storytelling.

Tara Erickson and Aaron Alexander dive into Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003), the first half of the legendary kung fu revenge saga that blends martial arts spectacle, grindhouse energy, and anime-inspired sequences into one of cinema's most iconic films. Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs), the film stars Uma Thurman (Pulp Fiction, Batman & Robin) as The Bride / Beatrix Kiddo, a former assassin who awakens from a four-year coma and sets out on a bloody quest for vengeance against her former colleagues in the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. The cast includes Lucy Liu (Charlie's Angels, Kill Bill Vol. 2) as O-Ren Ishii, the Yakuza leader whose epic duel with The Bride in the snowy garden has become one of the most famous sword fights in cinema history; Vivica A. Fox (Independence Day, Set It Off) as Vernita Green; Daryl Hannah (Blade Runner, Splash) as the ruthless Elle Driver; and Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Donnie Brasco) as Budd. The film also stars David Carradine (Kung Fu, Bound for Glory) as the mysterious Bill, whose shadow looms over the entire narrative. From the unforgettable “Crazy 88” showdown at the House of Blue Leaves to the stylish black-and-white anime origin of O-Ren Ishii, Kill Bill Vol. 1 is loaded with legendary sequences, hyper-stylized violence, and Tarantino's trademark genre-mashing storytelling. As The Bride crosses the first names off her death list, the stage is set for even bloodier confrontations in Vol. 2.

Producer Oren Koules (SAW 1-10, TWO AND A HALF MEN, DEAD SILENCE, RUN RONNIE RUN, SET IT OFF) joins Adam and Joe to discuss his career journey and the making of his new feature TRUST (in theaters now). From setting up at least half a dozen projects at studios only to have them never get made… to trying his hand at being a studio executive himself… to surrounding himself with talented professionals and learning how to produce on the job… to just how close SAW came to either never being released or being released directly to home video… to the incredible story of the testing scores that changed SAW's fate… to his experience shepherding the franchise for over 20 years now… to how his obligations to TWO AND A HALF MEN and making annual SAW films left him with a long stretch of time when he didn't have time to work on anything else… to the casting and producing of TRUST… to how he picks the projects he produces… to his thoughts on horror/comedies, why slasher films aren't his thing, and why he disagrees with SAW being labeled “torture porn”… this conversation is Producing 101 for anyone looking to become a producer but not being sure what steps to take.

Two prominent Black filmmakers put their unique touches on the heist film genre. The early work F. Gary Gray does with Set It Off (1996) shows that you can combine character development with high action heists. And Spike Lee shows that the heist can be more about will and intelligence, than brute force, in Inside Man (2006). Let us know what type of heist film do you prefer.
