WEBVTT - A Look Back at Positively Gam w/ Fallon Jethroe 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:13.600 What's up, everybody. I'm Gammy and this is positively Gam. 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:16.760 Today is a really special episode because I'm gonna be 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:21.680 chatting it up with my executive producer, Salon Jethro. We're 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.799 gonna be talking about everything from how we started working together, 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.480 a look back at our favorite positively gam episodes, and 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:32.120 what's to come for next season on positively Gam. There's 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:34.240 so much to chat about it. She's so much fun, 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:37.920 so let's get into it. Sitting next to me is 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:42.159 my ride or died through this positively gam journey. My 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:48.040 executive producer, well one and only Falonethrow. She is an 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:52.280 unscripted television and podcast producer with over fifteen years of 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:56.960 experience in the entertainment industry. In addition to producing my podcast, 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:03.080 she has also helped produce America's Next Model Project, Runway, 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:06.400 and The Bachelor, to name a few. Hey, Fallon Hug, 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:11.120 I was in Lincoln. This episode is gonna be great. 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.360 It's like, hopefully we could get through. We'd just be 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.600 laughing then carrying no one the whole time. I'm telling you, guys, 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.800 it's so much fun in this room. And for Calvin 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.600 the engineer, he gets exposed to so much he does 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.920 foolishness again. Actually it was crazy because it was like 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.120 day one when we had to talk with Dr Jackie 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:37.800 about like menopause. That was our first wasn't our first one. 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.680 It wasn't our first one. That was the first. It 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.400 felt like our close to our first one. It's like 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.200 when we talk about that and we talk about like 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.360 sex and women's issues, I'm always feeling bad for Calvin. 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.760 I'm like, he's learning, he does have him all so 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:55.520 it will be fine. So for the listeners, Fallon is 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.240 the producer, so she's always in the room. She's sitting 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.880 on the side, and she's the one who like giving 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.440 me cues or telling me if we need to do 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.840 pickups or you need to say that again, or looking 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.160 at me crazy. If I'm talking and not making sense, 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.200 stop it. Usually tell again. I'm like, okay, it's good, 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.560 all right, WP it up. So how does it feel 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.840 to be interviewed? Honestly, it's definitely different. It's not my norm. 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.480 I do prefer to be behind the camera. That's where 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.440 well in interviews. I heard you on another podcast, so 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.000 I know you. I was on the podcast Tencil Town. 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.280 I got used to be on there and talk about 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.000 my career, which I did enjoy that. It's honestly a 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.760 beautiful experience to like talk about your career and to 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.160 highlight that because you know, as we all know, you 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.919 can never have enough black people in the industry. So 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.000 I'm behind the scenes. I don't think. I think people 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.680 play down how important that is. But for me, in 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.720 my opinion, that's where a lot of the power is. Oh, 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.560 I agree, behind the scenes. I agree because I don't 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:59.320 think enough people realize the what a producer actually does. 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.880 And in my space, creatively, I mean, we're the ones 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.920 almost like the puppeteers, pulling strings and pitching ideas and 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.639 coming up with segments and saying this is hot right now, 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.280 this will be hot in the future, setting the trends 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.920 and said trust me now, I'm just always trying to 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.200 push something on me that I'm like, I don't want 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:20.040 to talk about. I do. I do. I'm good for that, 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:24.040 guilty as charged. I am good for producing a topic 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.079 on game that she don't know if I'm I don't 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.160 know if I'm game for that one. I don't know 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:29.760 if I'm down for that one. I'm not in the 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.080 moon fallon right, But it's really. I think that the 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.640 two of us together is just really a great team. 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.520 And I know when podcasting was not really something that 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.400 I was really all that interested in, And it was 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:45.480 my manager who suggested that I that I tried podcasting 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.960 because I did want to do something else. I wanted 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:52.200 to do something else besides Red Table, but podcasting just 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.560 wasn't in my vision. Once I agreed, it was like 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.840 a must for me that I have a black producer. 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.720 I really felt that was really important for me. I 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.600 needed to someone. I needed to be with, someone that 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:09.000 I felt related to me, that understood my journey. And 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.760 we had a really good connection because I remember during 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.800 the interview, we related, we watched the same shows, we 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:21.080 had similar experiences on certain topics about the black community 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.279 and the issues that we're going on because two years 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.640 ago was all this like silver and risk and we 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.320 just could talk about it and it was great. Yeah, 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:32.200 it was a click. From day one, I've been rolling 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.719 ever since. It has just been such a fun ride. Yes, 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.320 I definitely will agree. It has honestly been a great ride. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:43.120 I love our team. It's it's the trio and I 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.640 mean we have yeah, we have, I mean we have 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:52.200 rocked together. Gosh, we can't forget Irene though, and Irene. Yeah, 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:56.200 So that's our group right here who produces positively gam 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.000 Let's talk about some some of the episodes though, talk 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:03.320 about were some of our favorite episodes. I know, for me, 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.360 like one of my favorite episodes, I have so many, 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.080 that's okay, But one of my favorite episodes was the 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:14.440 one on black hair. I'm still in the process of, 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.960 like my little fro. I'm like, I need to nurture you. 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.400 I'm trying to, like I say mantras in the morning, 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.640 I like put the oil in my hair. I'm like 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.240 really trying to like regaining that like self love and 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:30.200 not because I never had that. That one that was 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.279 something that really resonated with me and I felt would 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:37.560 really resonate with the listeners because for black women, our 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:42.839 hair is just just historically has just been so important. 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.920 And I thought that we did a really good episode 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.000 because I think we talked a little bit about it 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.000 on Red Table Talk, but I felt the conversation just 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:56.400 didn't go deep enough, and we did a two parters 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.159 and I just really thought that was a great episode. 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:05.159 But for I feel like anything anything to do with 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:09.080 what's happening in the black community tends to be things 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:14.680 that I really love. Yes, because I feel like positively 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.919 gam is kind of an extension of Red Table Talk, 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.960 but the topics that I choose are typically topics that 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.520 Red Table Talk doesn't want to tackle. Red Table Talk 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.800 doesn't want to talk about politics. And when we did 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.400 the episode on Black History Saved My Life with John 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:37.240 One was so resonating. It's so good to hear Earnest's 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.320 stories on racist that was such a good episode. Talking 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:45.880 to Valerie, Jared and then Professor Molina abduled, Yes, black lives, 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.440 black lives matter. I mean yes, we go from like 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.599 social justice issues to then our funny issues. We're having 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:56.960 Lonnie Love. I'm talking about her. Come on, La La 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.480 is one of my favorite She's so freaking fun. She 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.960 is telling you how to learn and use Instagram and 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.359 all the social media hacks. I would definitely say for 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.160 the listeners go back and check out these episodes because 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.440 focus on the show is to push people who are 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.640 like over the age of fifty, but there is life 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.560 after the age of fifty and you can still do 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.560 so much. So learning about these particular topics I think 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.560 has definitely been great. And I think the other thing 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:28.040 about the ones that focus on what's going on in 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.760 the black community. I mean, like my conversations with to 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:35.600 make a Mallory and I really love angel Abra, So 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.800 what's so fascinating to me is we will make so 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.400 many things trend and talk about so many things, and 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.440 especially this question like who's gonna do a Black agenda 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.200 and we don't have one, but we do have one, 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:53.640 and we just don't lift it up. Historically, I've not 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:57.960 been someone who has been very politically connected, like I 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:03.360 always vote, but I typically don't really focus on politics. 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:07.720 So those kinds of conversations are actually an opportunity for 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.080 me to really learn because I'm telling you these young 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:16.559 women out here or anybody who has has devoted their 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:21.640 lives to social justice and those like that's that's hard work. 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:28.240 It's hard work, and it is emotionally frustrating and draining, 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.320 and it's just a lot. And to make that your 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:35.000 life's work, it has really been an eye opener and 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.320 such a learning experience from me. Oh no, I agree, 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.560 because I remember after we shot Season one, you were like, Wow, 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.720 this was eigg zausting because a lot of our topics 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.960 had to do what was happening in the black community 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.920 and all the black stuffs, and we were just it 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.600 was a bit when we started it was it was 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.960 so we were in the think of it. We were 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.200 in to think of it, and it was like, I mean, 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.679 we do have other dimensions to us as black people 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.640 that we didn't want to talk about and not just 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:10.839 be so sad and what was going on in the world. 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.960 You couldn't not talk about it, but right, but now 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:16.800 we were definitely going to talk about it. But I 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.360 think another episode that really helped us out and that 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.720 I saw the listeners really resonate with is our episode 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.520 with Dr Alfie on self doubt. Is a lot of 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:32.559 people are struggling with, like anxiety and depression. Also think 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.679 society gives us these messages. Think about women of your 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.600 generation and what women were told they could and could 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.280 not do. Just think about that, right, I think about 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.080 women of my generation, we could do a little bit 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.160 more because of the sacrifices that you all made. And 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.040 then I think about Willows and my daughter's generation, right, 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.720 they do even more. So I think it's a little 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:54.000 bit of both internal passing down but also external messaging 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.439 as well. I think we're like hit the nail on 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.439 the head with that episode, because a lot of people 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.000 were like, wow, I go through that, and I think 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:06.680 it's surprising for people to realize and understand that I 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.880 have been dealing with so now since I was a 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.560 young child, and it just never seems to go away. 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.080 And I know sometimes when I'm out in public and 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:20.520 when I'm out it doesn't seem like that. But that 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.480 is the truth of the matter. But he was talking 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:27.400 to Jada and Lauren London. Yeah, they have alter egos, 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.839 they do. What are their names? You know, if you are, 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.640 you supposed to say you're Yeah, you're supposed to say 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.600 Jade is alter ego is cor and so that's when 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:44.839 her that's actually her middle name. Okay, that's okay, I'm 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:49.840 here for it. Okay, I forgot what Lawrence was do 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.920 you don't know? But that's what I was talking about. 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.319 I think I need an alter ego. I think you 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.240 need an alter ego. So that's what I'm gonna suggest. 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.760 I want the listeners to help me come up with 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.560 an alter ego name. Okay, I would like that. I'd 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:08.319 like having Pierce exactly. I'd like when I go out 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.800 I usually like to have Roxy. That's like my party 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.240 here because I'm not usually I'm one of the homebody 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.920 tie like Roxy coming out. Then we're all have a 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.960 good time. We're gonna be out two in the morning, 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.360 three in the morning, we're gonna like parties, We're gonna 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.160 be on the dance floor. Because it's totally like the 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.240 opposite of me. But yeah, I think everybody should have. 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.200 So I think I need to come up with an 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.760 alter ego and maybe used because you had actually talked 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.320 about that when I have events, was something to go 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.640 to if yes, I was saying that like through your 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.520 podcast and when you do acting is you have to 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.240 develop a character. So then that way, when you like 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.120 go home and you just maybe make Gam the character 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.839 like you're sort of alter ego and you're like personality. 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.000 And then after you go home and you're like talking 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.160 with Brian and you're just sitting on the couch your Adrian. 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.200 So then because it's always fun to play a character 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.120 because but I think it needs to because I'm my 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.600 designs gam. It can't be okay, it can't be Gam, 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.120 but we can come up with something. Come up with something, yes, 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.199 because I think an alter ego is honestly really good, 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:12.199 good to have onto some of our other favorite things. 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.680 I mean, we honest really I love that we share 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.480 is TV shows. Where are you currently watching? Right now? 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:21.360 I'm trying to watch We Run This City, which is 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:27.079 an HBO special that is dealing with the Baltimore City 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:31.200 Police Department. So it's it's a true account of the 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:35.080 corruption in the Baltimore City Police Department. So I just 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.280 I keep falling asleep. So I'm watching it, and it's 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.840 not because the shows, doll. I'm watching it at night 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.960 and I'm exhausted because Duchess gets me up at six 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.360 am every morning. She's like an alarm clock. She's driving 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.680 me insane. So but that is one that I'm I 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:54.280 am gonna focus on now that the R T T 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:58.040 is almost over. Our season is almost up and I 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:01.440 won't have to be working. So definitely is a good one. 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.800 But there's so many. The Shot is getting ready to 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.000 come back, Oh man, I can't wait. The Shot is 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.679 getting ready. Actually, by the time this air is this 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.599 Shot probably will be best Shot will be back on 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.040 air by then, which is great. And if you guys 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.679 haven't checked out on showtime, it's lean a waste. So 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.440 it's amazing show. I mean, I guess we have a 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:26.839 love for like crime, crime show. We love Snowfall. Yeah, 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:31.600 who did everybody watch Style? All five seasons of Snowfall? 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.000 And are we gonna get a season six? We have 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.480 to because it's not over. We have to know what 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.640 happens with Franklin sat I always feels like I could 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.040 be good at organized crime because I've ever have to 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:49.600 be very organized, on top of your game. But I 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:53.319 think people would be surprised too that I was a huge, 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:59.440 a huge fan of all of the Viking shows. I 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.880 know people would think they would be like, what, yeah, 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.400 watched the Bikings. Yes, I watched all of them. I 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:09.160 watched the Vikings, I watched Last Kingdom, and I watched 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:13.240 Vikings about How Yeah, okay, I haven't gotten into that series. 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.559 So good. I mean it is brutal because that's what 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.880 bikers do. I mean, yeah, really, I really really enjoyed 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.800 all of those seasons. And then a really fun show 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:28.040 to watch was the marvelous Mrs Maisel Mark so good 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:32.280 on Amazon Prime. I loved the comedy. I love that 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.600 error some of my other favorites. You didn't have it 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:39.720 on your list, but Atlanta with I never got into Atlanta. 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.160 You never got into Atlanta. I didn't, but I'm down 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.400 to check it out. I think Atlanta is one of 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.280 the most well written shows. I think it helps elevate 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:53.080 the culture and it is great. And then I would 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.960 also to say a Black Lady Scotch show probably yes, 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.760 I like and I love a good comedy on a 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.120 Friday night. Um here for her. I love Robin Thity 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.800 of sky townsend all of them. And actually Quenta and 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:10.240 Abbott Elementary which we bought it over, Yes about good. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.760 That was another faith. And if I had to play 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:18.880 the Shirley Ralph shows her character, I was like, Shirley Ralph, Yes, 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.920 she killed it. She she killed it. I mean, like, 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.880 this woman is hilarious. And I remember her back from 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.280 the Sister at Days and probably she probably said about 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.560 two words in it, but the look that she gave 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.160 her daughter on stage, you knew it was up because 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.200 I was a look of every black mother and you're 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.680 just lying and every black mother knows how to do it. 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.760 Everybody mother who knows how to get that look, and 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.880 you're just like, okay, I'm getting he says to me 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.760 all the time because he used to get beats all 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.000 the time. She was bad, beauties. But I don't think 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:51.760 I was bad. I don't know. Ever, maybe I was bad. 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.880 But we never got spankings. We never, we never did. 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:56.560 He was like, how was it was the four of you? 0:15:56.680 --> 0:16:01.560 I said, listen, my mother knew how to give the look, 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.880 the look. It's look and we like, He said, but 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:09.000 somebody had to. I said, I'm telling you. We never 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.680 got spank We got the look, and you know you knew, 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.680 And I said, and it was the same with with 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.440 our kids. We knew how to give the look to 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:23.600 get folks right, don't you do? It takes one more 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:30.600 move that that acting up in public? Absolutely not. Never happened. 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:35.280 Never happened. That definitely. Yeah. So those were the stuff 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.080 that we would name. It was mostly on streaming services, 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.080 but there were some network TV shows that I enjoyed 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.920 and I really love. Okay, this is US. I liked 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:48.480 a million little things, million little all these are definitely 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.520 good shows. I mean, This is Us it's in its 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.000 final season. When my mom came into town, show me 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:54.800 mid watching because I had kind of fallen out of 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:56.920 it because I'm just not a huge Mandy Moore fan. 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.480 But that's just me. Yeah, I mean this is us. 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.360 Some want so many more. It's such a great show. 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:06.840 What The Walking Day? Oh yeah, I mean I haven't 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:11.000 watched so long in the last legs too, but there's 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.200 been so many spinoffs, so I'm sure there's going to 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.960 be more spinoffs for The Walking Day. That show it 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:26.439 cannot go away. So what about movies, because we're just 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:31.840 a huge We're huge entertainment buffs. I mean, like a favorite. 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:36.399 There isn't but we're I have a top three loving basketball. Yeah, okay, 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:42.280 Moonlight and Good Wild Hunting are like my talk three. 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.520 I'm a Houston all Lathan fan. I love loving basketball. 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:47.359 I honestly thought it was gonna be my life growing 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:54.800 up because my neighbor but also to like I lived 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:58.800 across the street for my neighbors, shout out to because 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.120 he was my first kid. I don't know why I'm 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:05.119 like exposing all, but I thought like I wanted like 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:08.320 that life style and was like that was one of 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.359 my favorite movies. I can just honestly put that movie 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.120 on at any point in time, and in that section 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.479 of the Love and Basketball, yeah, and I go that 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:17.760 way with love Jones and I do Love Jones too, 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:22.439 but like I can mouth the words to the entire film. 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:26.919 Everybody's roll, Like everybody's rolling at any point in time. 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:30.560 It's okay to watch Love Love Jones and Rodney's Dad. 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:35.040 It's like not from the eighties, my throat, please, I 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:38.359 cannot watch it. I don't do it, don't do it, don't. 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:41.040 But I can put that on it any time. And 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:43.520 any of Jada's movies of course, of course. I mean 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.639 I can watch at any time. Set it Off, my 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.879 ultimate fave. I can always watch set it Off. I 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:51.919 don't think I like some of the ones that aren't 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:55.359 only that popular, like woof oh, and what's the one, 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.040 what's the one that she did Kingdom Come? I think 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.040 I thought she was hilarious and coming. Rodney was like 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:02.879 not so much. He was like, it didn't do it 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:04.520 for me. I mean, if I have to go back 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.720 to classics, BAPS is one of my like ultimate face. 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.560 You know what. I never saw that from beginning to 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.000 ever saw that, But you know what I've been watching 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.359 lately too that I really I'm starting to watch that 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:19.520 over and over again. Two can play that game that 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.720 she was good in that she was good in that. Yeah, 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:24.840 And you know what they're bringing making a TV show 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.400 now is The Best Man. They're making it a series. 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:29.720 They're bringing that back, and I need to go back 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.360 and like rewatch like that the Best Man all them. 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.280 And actually somebody just posted I think it was Tay 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:40.840 Diggs made a post because they're doing probably the last 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:46.240 Best Man movie. Yeah, and I think it says the 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:49.600 Best Man final chapter it is, and I'm like, does 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:51.960 it have to be final chapter? Can it just be 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:55.800 next chapter? I mean, honestly, I just feel like it 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:57.919 can go on, and it could go on and on. 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.680 And it was like head every black per and the Man, 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:05.480 every black actor, and I love it. I love it 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:12.240 when movies do that and you just see like King's 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:17.280 something less. It's just those movies are just good feeling movies, 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.960 like they're just fun. And I missed those me to 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.760 miss because it was just a season when a time 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.160 period when they were just coming out right and left 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.760 and then they just kind of went away they did, honestly, 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:30.879 and we need that back. We need that back, and 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:33.600 I felt The Girl's Trip was heading us back that way, 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:36.320 and then now we're back in the dry zone again. 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.240 I know, but you know what, I think Netflix has 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:41.960 a department strong back lead, and I think they need 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:46.000 to buy up those movies and bring them onto their 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:50.280 streaming platform because people need to see those type of 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:52.840 films wine just for the culture and then to so 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:56.480 generations to come can still be reminded about like the movies, 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.840 because there's so many great actors and actresses who made 0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:03.440 so many great movies. But we can't forget. We can't 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:05.480 almost feel like when you talk about movies that you 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:09.760 have to almost talk about genres because it's like genres 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:13.440 and then there's time periods. Really really an old freak, 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:18.640 like I love old movies, like's there, Okay, okay, they're 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.280 ginger rogers. I love that. I know you had someone 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:23.320 of your list that I was honestly I go. I 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:25.600 was like, you know, I need to see But even 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:28.240 when some of the black actors like Sydney Potier a 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:31.360 Patch of Blue Yes come through. I mean, those are 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:34.040 all classes, but I think I've only seen those only 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.879 because I'm a film major, and I don't think that 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:40.800 you've played enough for people see. And that's the problem, 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.400 because I was like, these are classics that, like everybody 0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:45.439 should be like, oh yeah, I saw that. Just like 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:49.000 even when Sydney Portier passed, I thought that there was 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.159 gonna be like a marathon of his movies on and 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:54.639 I didn't feel like the networks did that at all. 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:57.800 I didn't see it happening. Yeah, he really was, but 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:00.640 so talented. I don't know. There's so many good films 0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:03.920 out there that it's hard. It is kind of hard 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:05.480 to name them all because there's just so many, like 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:07.680 good actress and actresses. Because I was like, dang, I 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:10.960 could go down like Denzel Washington exactly, go down Samuel 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:13.720 Jackson's list. I could go down so many people's like 0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:17.480 exactly list of films that I'm just like, they're doing it, 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:20.880 like the career is like crazy, even halle Berry. Yeah, 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:23.760 and then I actually loved Tom Hanks. I don't know that. 0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:26.720 Yeah there's a movie that Tom Hanks is done that 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.639 hasn't been good. Oh yes, I mean I'm sure there is, 0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:32.080 but he's just done. So his work is just really 0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:38.280 really phenomenal. For Stump, I mean, yass, yeah, Philadelphia, Oh yes, 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.879 my gosh, he and Denzel come on, you're right, I 0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:44.280 mean just I mean, we can talk about movies all day. 0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:47.560
