Tyler Perry's Straw has a misleading title — because it isn't a straw that breaks the camel's back in the film about a single mom (Taraji P. Henson) driven to extremes, but an absolutely nightmarish event that is only revealed in the film's insane final act.In this episode, Aaron, Keith and Tim talk about whether the movie takes place in hell, great movie twists and why they work — from Fight Club to The Sixth Sense — and the correct way to pronounce San Pedro.We wrap up by praising Tubi's Flew'd Out and the works of fantasy author Brandon Sanderson.

In today’s episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, we dig into the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, where streets leading to federal buildings were blocked as demonstrators reacted to recent ICE raids. The federal response included deploying over 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines—a move Governor Newsom called an abuse of power. Despite widespread arrests and violence, many protesters emphasize the militarized response fueled instead of quelled the unrest. We also revisit the 2025 BET Awards with reporter “Gary with the Tea,” who highlights standout moments like Mariah Carey’s nightclub-themed set, Leon Thomas’s breakthrough win, and the emotional Ultimate Icon tribute to Jamie Foxx featuring Stevie Wonder. Lastly, Taraji P. Henson sets the record straight on rumors about a feud with Oprah—labeling the claims “disrespectful” and explaining they stemmed from orchestrated attempts to sabotage The Color Purple, while reaffirming their mutual support.

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, it becomes clear that this initiative is more than just a policy blueprint; it's a comprehensive vision for transforming the American government, rooted in conservative ideals and backed by a formidable array of scholars and policy experts.Project 2025, spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation, is the latest in a series of "Mandate for Leadership" guides that have been influential in shaping conservative policy agendas since Ronald Reagan's presidency. This 900-page document is the culmination of efforts by over 400 scholars and policy experts from across the conservative movement, aiming to provide a detailed roadmap for a future conservative administration[3][4].At its core, Project 2025 is about centralizing power and reshaping the federal government to align more closely with conservative values. One of the most contentious aspects is the proposal to significantly expand presidential powers, particularly through the reissuance of Trump's Schedule F executive order. This measure would allow the president to dismiss federal employees deemed 'non-performing' or insufficiently loyal, potentially targeting the vast majority of career civil servants who are crucial for the continuity and integrity of government operations[1][2].The plan also outlines drastic changes to federal agencies, such as the elimination of the Department of Education and the de-weaponization of the Federal Government by increasing accountability and oversight of the FBI and DOJ. For instance, Project 2025 suggests transferring the custody of immigrant children from Health and Human Services (HHS) to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a move that critics argue would prioritize enforcement over welfare and exacerbate the safety and psychological well-being risks for vulnerable immigrant children[1][3].In the realm of reproductive rights, Project 2025 proposes stringent restrictions on abortion, going even further than some of the policies advocated by former President Donald Trump. Recent legal battles, such as the case involving the FDA's approval of mifepristone, serve as a precursor to how these policies might be implemented. Despite the Supreme Court dismissing the case on procedural grounds, it set a precedent for future legal challenges aimed at limiting access to abortion medication[1].The project's ambition extends to other critical areas, including education and energy policy. It advocates for moving control and funding of education from federal bureaucrats to parents and state and local governments, and for unleashing American energy production to reduce energy prices. Additionally, it proposes banning biological males from competing in women's sports, reflecting a broader push to redefine social and cultural norms[3].One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its detailed plan for the first 180 days of a new administration. This "180-Day Playbook" is designed to ensure quick implementation of key policies, from securing the border and finishing the wall to cutting government spending and reducing inflation. This rapid-fire approach is meant to capitalize on the initial momentum of a new presidency, much like Reagan's successful implementation of 60% of the original "Mandate for Leadership" recommendations in his first year[3][4].The implications of these policies are far-reaching and have sparked significant concern among critics. Experts warn that Project 2025's recommendations could endanger democratic institutions, dismantle civil liberties, and concentrate presidential power in ways that are unprecedented in modern American history. For example, the plan's proposals for media and technology policies, including reducing NPR funding and increasing agency accountability while decreasing wasteful spending, have been seen as threats to the independence of public broadcasting and the free flow of information[4].Despite former President Trump's public denials of any affiliation with Project 2025, there is a clear overlap between the project's goals and his own policy agenda. Trump has called for similar cuts to federal agencies and has advocated for stricter immigration policies, aligning with key tenets of the project. However, Trump has also distanced himself from some of the more extreme measures outlined in the document, such as the comprehensive restrictions on abortion[2].The response from Democrats has been vehement, with the Biden campaign and other Democratic figures highlighting the dangers of Project 2025 as a way to attack Trump's policies. "It's not a secret: Look it up. They are attacking our most vulnerable citizens. The Project 2025 plan is not a game," warned actress Taraji P. Henson during the BET awards, reflecting the broader concern that this plan represents a significant threat to marginalized groups and democratic norms[2].As we look ahead, the implementation of Project 2025's policies, should they come to fruition, will be a defining moment for American governance. The project's proponents see it as a necessary correction to what they perceive as a bloated and inefficient federal government, while critics view it as a radical and risky agenda that could undermine the very foundations of American democracy.In the coming months, as the 2025 presidential transition looms, the nation will be watching closely to see how these policies are received and implemented. Will Project 2025's vision of a more centralized, conservative government become a reality, or will it face significant resistance from various stakeholders? The answer to this question will have profound implications for the future of American politics and the lives of its citizens.

Kim Marsh and Alice Nagle from Fetch the Smelling Salts podcast join Flixwatcher to review Kim's choice Hidden Figures. Hidden Figures (2016) is loosely based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Margot Lee Shetterly. It tells the incredible true story of the biographies of three African-American women who worked as computers to solve problems for engineers and others at NASA. Directed by Theodore Melfi it stars Taraji P. Henson as Katherine Goble Johnson, Octavia Spencer as Dorothy Vaughan and Janelle Monáe as Mary Jackson. Other real life character include Mahershala Ali as Jim Johnson, who marries Katherine and Glen Powell as astronaut John Glenn. In fictional roles it also stars Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst and Jim Parsons. Hidden Figures shines a light on the impressive work done by women of colour in behind the scenes roles. However, there are a number of fictional scenes and several inaccuracies, some that lean into the white saviour trope. Recommendability scores were very favourable despite the historical inaccuracies. Fairly solid scores across the remaining categories give a very respectable score of 4.34 overall.

Additionally, the role of Rodney was originally written for Ice Cube, who had worked with Singleton on Boyz n the Hood and Higher Learning.
