Because we're a week 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:24.040 behind because somebody's been working a little Lauren and busy 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.799 with new shows and things have been moving. So what 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.560 what you know? Long before we even depth get into 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.840 the week to this week's show, I must tell you 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.359 that it's been a very trained day and I'm a 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.440 little I'm on my way to be with the Lord. 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.520 So if I get stumbled on the word or two 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:45.280 fixing judgment, no judgment, that's why we got Aaron to 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:49.480 fix some stuff. Um, it has been a week in 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.359 a week. And when I say a week, I'm telling 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.560 I watched The View the other day because the new 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.520 season is up, and they had Stacy Abrahams on their 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.840 last week Lord, and they were talking about when she 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:02.359 debated uh Kemp that one time because he wouldn't debate 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.480 her anymore because she multiplied the bag and subtracted that 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:09.440 ass and I love appetition. But I listened to her 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.120 speak and they was you know how they do your 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:12.560 on the View, They come at you on from all 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.679 sides like the breakfast club, so you don't get a 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.359 chance to finish one question or answer before you're hitting 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.880 you with the next one. But she was. Her temperament 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.519 was so even killed and even though I thought Joy 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:27.000 pushed stepped on her toes and so did Sonny try 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.720 to say something. What I like about Stacy Abrams is 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.800 that she's informed, she's sharp. She is so equipped with 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.120 her knowledge, but she won't even let you take her 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.000 offer square because it's some things that you know they 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:41.760 might ask and that might trigger he because they said 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:43.920 something about her makeup or something, and she was like 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.320 the look on her face was like, okay, yeah, this 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.320 is what kind of making? What was her beauty product? 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.200 She's like, I just watched my face with soap and water. 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:52.920 But and I know where they'd be, what they'd be 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.080 trying to do. What I love how she controls that 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.160 narrative that is so sharp and so concise to me. 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.200 You know, I want hi here, I'd be like, bitch, 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.240 what you wash your asks with? Well? Um, you know 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.920 what that is? Right? You know what? Here we go? 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.080 Oh my god, here I forget. I'm just saying, you know, 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:15.360 she's a spelling woman. We're doing. We're just built different. 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.200 That is my good spelling sis, and we expect nothing 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.520 less all. I'm gonna say it is fantastic the way 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.000 she controls the dynamic of the room. And I know 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.240 they try to shake all the coconuts out of her tree, 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.960 but that tree is unbreakable and I love that about 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.839 her because everybody else get upset. Speaking of getting upset, 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.560 Grandma's Ree Taylor Green was somebody asked up, of course, 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.039 I don't know if it was a reporter or somebody 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.720 who was in Congress or senator something, and she kicked them. 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.240 That was the most childish thing that I've ever heard, 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.560 that somebody asked you a question that you got mad 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.960 about so you decided to kick them. Because the grown 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:50.400 up thing would have been a lady to turn around 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.280 and whoop her asked, because that would have been don't 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.760 put your feet on me. That's disrespectful. But we are 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.600 talking about Madre Taylor Green wanted the one of the 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:04.280 Trump trump Kin's favorites. But we're not gonna harbor on 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.120 that because we're gonna be celebrating black women this episode, 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.880 because we're talking about the power of the black woman. 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:11.520 That's why I was talking about her. Stacy was just 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.760 magnificent with the way she spoke and who she was 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.320 and so powerful and I love that. And whoop Be 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.960 set there and I watched Whoop because I don't always 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.120 be in agreement with WHOOPI, but whoop Be set there 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.560 with this smell of pride on her face. As Stacy 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.039 was dissect and everything they brought to her and handled 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.679 it well, I felt very Olivia Pope like she handled 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:35.679 That's what Olivia Pope sales. It's handled baby. Stacey Arams 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.039 had handled it, but it was I was so proud 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.200 to just watch her as a black person and just 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.799 as the black American and uh, speaking of proud, proud 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.600 black women, I made a video the other day that 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.000 I was so because I was so excited about Now. 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.880 I don't I'm not a big movie goal. I go 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.080 to the movies when it's something I really wanted to 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.040 see one of them. And the last movie I got 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:56.760 super excited about not the last time I went to 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.600 the movies. Was it actually the cartoon movie scene. I 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.960 was at see excited about that movie because it had 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.160 me feeling so good in my spirit. It was so much, 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:10.000 so many lessons. I love lessons, and so I was 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.679 furious with my daughters on Sarady. So I took myself 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:14.720 to the movie. I did say I took myself. I 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:16.480 went on a he she we date. It was just 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:21.200 all three of us see the Woman King. And mind you, 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.080 I have been seeing the trailers, I have been seeing 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.640 the commercial. None of that really made me really want 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.320 to go see the movie. But I watched Viola Davis 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.039 on three or four interviews this week, one being the View, 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.520 another one she was on Gail And to hear the 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.360 story of how she said what they had to go 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.000 through just to get this movie done, and the story 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.800 of the EOG people is am I saying it right? 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.000 Og and just and so I was like, I'm gonna 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:47.960 I'm gonna support the movie while it's at the movie. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:49.920 Oh my god, when I tell you it's one of 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.920 the best decisions I have made in two was to 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.120 take the time, the two hours and six minutes to 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.400 go and spend them twelve hours and go see that movie. 0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.720 Because that was the best movie I've seen in a 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.120 very very long time. And it's good for beginning to end. 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.560 The casting is brilliant, the lighting is read the story 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.920 is believable and real, and there's so many emotions in 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.480 the story. I felt joy and hurt and angry and 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.880 rage and revenge and determination and strength and courage. But 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.120 there's a love story in there. And I don't want 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.200 to give out too much of the information. Y'all got 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.360 to go to the movies to support this movie and 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.440 see this movie. Don't wait for Netflix, don't wait for HBO, 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.720 don't wait for it to come on cable, because it 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.600 won't have the same impact. And in order to get 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.240 these movies told and further on, we got to show 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.040 that we're gonna spend our dollars to go see these 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.920 movies at the movie theaters because white people under white 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:43.240 folks understand dollars, not sense. Uh yeah. So I actually 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.280 saw a woman king too, And so the funny thing 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.560 is I saw some of the trailers. So I'm like 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.440 a big Greek mythology and fanatics, so I thought that 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.440 it was really gonna be just about the story of 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.760 the Amazonian warriors that you learned about in Greek mythology 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.480 if you ever took that class. And they were known 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:02.119 for being beautiful, were fierce, and they were extremely tall, 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.160 so you know, I always identified with them because I 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.000 was just you know, very tall growing up too. So 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.440 I just loved the story. So when I actually went 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.960 to the movies and then in the beginning they give 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.720 you a backstory of what was happening during this time 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.520 in Africa, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that this 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:21.600 was really based on true events and this actually happened. Um. 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.880 So to learn about the Agogi people and just, um, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:30.760 how phenomenal and fears these women were. Um, it just 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.760 it was so inspiring. It was such an inspiring story, um, 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:36.319 because I really thought it was going to be like 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.800 them taking current events and mixing them with some you know, 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:43.480 mythological ones. But it's a true story. So it was 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:47.040 just beautifully done. And to my surprise, I didn't know 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:51.720 that Adrian Warren was in the movie too. Um. Adrian 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.640 Warren was the original Tina on Broadway, like before the 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.959 pandemic happened. So I saw her play Tina um with 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:02.040 the spraint damn near broken ankle on stage with like 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.400 a brace and everything, and she killed it. And then 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.480 she also played Maimie Till in Women of the Movement 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.280 for ABC. So this thing has been working. I was 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:14.160 wondering why she wasn't back playing teen on Broadway. It's 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.880 because she's booked and busy. To say that was a 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.240 great that you just made. That She was on stage 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.679 with a broken ankle and she still mustered through, and 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.319 that was one of the points in the movie. You 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.760 keep fighting no matter you fight until you die. It was, 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.559 you know, And I'm I'm a big fan of Ola Davis, 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.400 always has been. I've seen probably all of her work, 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:35.559 but I don't think she has ever touched me the 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.280 way she touched me in this movie, because it was 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:41.880 so many emotions and she was so comfortable and who 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.000 she was as a darker, huge black woman, you know, 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.400 no makeup, and I think you know she got ready 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:48.880 for that on How to Get Away with Murder because 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.079 men with Sisty Tyson was coming to kitchen and she 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.000 took all the she said, I can do this, I 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:58.240 can do this. But I love all the rollercoaster riding 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.199 emotions and for me and who that's listening, this is 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.400 not a woman's movie. It's not a woman's movie. It 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.800 is about women, but it's not a woman's movie. It 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:11.319 is a movie about strength and pride and courage and 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:16.760 determination and baby fearless. Those women were and they supported that. 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.000 They supported their key. They love their key. Y'all got 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.160 to go see this movie and at the movies, because 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.640 if you go see the movie, you're gonna understand they're 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.800 gonna have to have a part too. Oh, they're gonna 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.719 have to have a sequel. I hope so because I 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.160 was wondering too, Um, I don't I actually, I can't 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:34.480 say this because I'm gonna give it away. Let me. 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:36.960 I'll just shut up and talk to you about there. 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:42.520 I just say one word, Malik, That's all I wanna say. Yeah. 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.280 I can see that kind of being another avenue to 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:49.160 tell for the storyline for sure. Um. But yeah, overall, 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:50.760 And the thing is, I saw it in New Orleans, 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:52.160 and I was in a black theater, so you know, 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.280 all the black folks who was yelling at the movie screen, 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.439 you know, during the fight scenes and everything. It just 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.400 made my movie experience that much better. Um, Because remember 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.439 I told you you I've been so scared to go 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.439 to the movies because of the anxiety with all the 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.160 shootings and stuff. So I was so I felt so 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.280 comfortable when I saw all of us in the movie 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.000 theater I said, Okay, nobody gonna do nothing crazy but 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.480 you and the oil as you knew somebody was had 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.719 some heat. Let's just be very exactly. I was like, 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.439 I was listening to other shooters and get behind them. 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.040 Bring up because even when I went to the theater, 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.040 and I have not been to the theaters in a 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.400 couple of years because of, like you said, the shooting, 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:33.040 I wasn't alone. I did have my purse, but I 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.640 may shoot because now you could pick your seats. So 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.880 I picked a seat on the end just so I 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.120 could scan the room in the words of T. T J. 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.480 And keep your head on the swovel. Because I was 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.760 also thinking that if some ship go down, I need 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.560 to be able to get low and see what's happening. 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.640 And and you know, I hate that I'm carrying that 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.679 that fear with me, but I carry that fear and 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.520 that may pay attention, pay attention to what's going on. 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.120 So yeah, it was like that too. But I I 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:05.320 had my shorty with I went with my coworker intern friend. 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.720 But literally every time somebody watchs on the movie theater, 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.080 I was looking at pockets. Somebody had on a long coat. 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.800 I was looking at everything but it was overall, it 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:14.800 was a great experience. Like I said, it was a 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.800 bunch of black people. So he was yelling at the screen. Um, 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.880 it was just an amazing movie and it was beautifully 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.000 shot and well done. And then I don't know if 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.960 you saw too, Um, I saw that shot. By all 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:27.719 of days, Davi was just talking about the training and 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.240 how they had to go through weapons training and you know, 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.840 cardio workout, and then the director joined in to really 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:37.640 provide this like comrade being that bad. The wood was 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.720 always something special though since girlfriends, because I love the girlfriends, 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.960 especially the first couple of season. It wasn't a little 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:44.719 weird to me waiting later down the land, but the 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.880 first couple of season was great. So they were on 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.120 the Breakfast Club today, her and uh Yo who shoot 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:55.120 and I know to show to to shoot the young 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.600 lady who played the one they gave the father gave him, 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:01.439 gave her away. They were on there today with Gina 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.719 Um because I watched the interview and it was just 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.439 so great to hear them talk. And I love that 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.160 because this girl was like she was working with Viola Davis. 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.079 But she said Viola love to joke on on on 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.320 on set and love to be fun because Viola always 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:21.720 seems so intense, so serious, so to be working with her. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:23.160 And I'll tell you, when you work with great people, 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.160 I think it makes you a greater person because you strapped, 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.520 you rise up as opposed to rising if you're rising down. 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.199 And it was if the whole cast, which one was 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.439 my crush though? Lor which one was my I was 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:42.400 in love with what he's Oh girl had me up 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.360 in the theater, went and hard. Let me just say, 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.040 a good guy. So I knew it. I knew it 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.320 the movie, I said, y'all, I know flame was having 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:55.360 some fantasies in the movie Daddy Hunt, and I love 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:57.880 and I hate that. It's the movie is so fresh 0:13:58.000 --> 0:13:59.719 right now, so we can't really give out none of 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.199 the edgible secrets because we started how we're gonna tell it, 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:06.880 But beautiful cast and everybody played their role so well. 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.280 It was so believable. And what was the guy the 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.520 king's name? Because he's been quite a few things. He's 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.840 a big actor to what's his name? He is? Um, child, 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.920 you're gonna make me up to go on IMBD real quick. Um, 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:24.120 I'm gonna look at named Jordan's um you see cast, 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.760 I'm gonna find it. Okay, Let's see. His name is 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:36.640 John um Boyega. John Boyega. John Boyega is a big actor. 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.800 And I saw somewhere where they said that they needed 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.480 him to come in and he came in with no no, 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.240 uh no, no nothing. He didn't he need a script. 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.800 He came in and uh he just watched because and 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:50.600 he was busy working at the time, but he took 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.760 time off to make this movie. I love that so 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.160 many different players have come in because this is done 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.320 through Viola Davis and her husband Julius production company as well. 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:02.320 And I'm telling as black people or as African Americans 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.520 or whatever we identify brown people, whatever you identifiast because babe, 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:06.920 they got two men. I can't keep up with all 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:10.520 the everything. Any who. We need to show support for 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:12.600 this so we can get more movies like this made, 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.040 because it's not that it's black people's stories, but now 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.400 it's black people's stories being told by actual black people, 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.440 and they letting us tell a lot of truths. They're 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.320 letting them tell a lot of truth you know, what's 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.080 what's they trying to keep out? The books louring what 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:26.680 they calling that when they don't want it up in 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.040 the books now they want to get rid of all 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:33.040 the books that history from way back. Oh um, child, 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.400 you talking about Florida and Ron DeSantis. Yeah, this is 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:41.600 the theory and trying to yeah that we have to 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.040 show support for that. I hate that it's not getting 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.560 the advertisement that Black Panther God or some of these 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.360 amazing movies. But I'm telling you, the story is great. 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:51.920 This could be the new This could be my new 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.240 Black Wizard of Us, because that's how good it was. Well, 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:57.480 I think to your point though, that they didn't have 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:02.160 Marvel money for promotion, promotions expensive. Um. But what I 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.440 appreciated really about this movie so much is that, you know, 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.160 we see a lot of movies that have been made 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.240 are just about the black struggle, and it's not that 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.400 this film didn't touch on that, because it did, but 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.480 it talked about us as a resilience as people, and 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:21.160 more important, about black women. I think that's what made 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:23.880 this so special for me to sit in the theater 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:27.680 and to actually watch it, because we're not telling those stories. 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.720 It was like, for a period of time, we were 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.680 just telling stories about how black people struggled and how 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.200 we were constantly you know, degraded and put down. But 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:40.400 this is kind of shining a light on the surviving 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:44.640 that we did from an inspirational and an innovative point 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.800 of view, you know. So that's why I really love 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:49.480 this movie so much. Honestly, I want to go back 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.400 to the theaters and watch it again because I'm I'm 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:56.480 gonna keep supporting Viola. This is probably top three from me. 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.240 I think my favorite series that she's ever done was 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.000 definitely How to Get Away with Murder, my favorite movie 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:03.880 that she did where I really just felt like she 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.399 just acted her ass off with Fences that she did 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.760 with Denzel Washington. Um. But this one is up there 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:11.760 now for me. Woman King. She did a hell of 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:16.240 a job with this role. So hats off to Viola 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.800 because man, I hope she gets nominated for an Oscar 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.120 and Emmy and double a CP Image Award. I hope 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.880 she gets everything for it. Ain't that like a woman 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.199 can look at you though, when black let me tell 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.040 you something like, oh we can do like ciss in Houston. 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:29.760 You know, some black women can look at you and 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:33.520 you that three times. This baby, she ain't get a 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:35.720 girl that look when they was in their water. I 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:37.560 was like, Babe, sometimes a black woman can look at 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:38.919 you and you and she ain't got to say one 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.600 word to look just baby, and you get that three 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:45.359 times good God. Yeah, nobody do it like Cissy Houston. 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.719 It was Sisce Houston get resting bitch face times three hundred. 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:52.480 Baby was gonna you have one too. I have a 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.640 chronic disease called wrestling bitch face. But honestly, I think 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.480 it was a gift from the Lord. So I embraced 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.159 it with pride. Oh my god. The movie was and 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.679 it just the joy of and it was so many more. 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.399 And I mean, you know, I don't even crazy. You know, 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.200 I'm a tank, but I flooded up like twice out 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.280 of one time I would have hurt and another time 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.120 I out of joy. And I love when the movie 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:14.879 can put on my heart strings like that. It was 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:18.240 and it was informative. I thought it was I thought 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:21.560 it was clever. I thought it showed us so much compassion. 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:23.960 And I thought it showed loyalty because they love of 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.959 hollehuain't loyal with Baby. The people were loyal, honey, good guy. 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:28.680 We need some of that going on right now because 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.760 and that's the thing too. It's like, I think the 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.000 series of how movies are coming out too. I'm excited 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.280 about because you know you mentioned Black Panther. But Black 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.920 Panther two comes out in November. And I actually have 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.520 a friend that works for Disney and he's watched it 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.360 three times and he said he's literally cried every time 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.040 he watched it. So it's giving. We're given at least, 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.000 like at least like three or four months of just 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.520 black excellence in cinema right now. So that also warms 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:57.000 my heart because Black Panthers coming out in November and 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.879 they're honoring Chadwick Boseman in the movie. I don't know 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:02.920 if you seen the trailer flame, but um Angela Bassett 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:06.200 has a line and the trailer and she's literally shouting. 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:08.680 She's like, I've lost my entire family. Have I not 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.480 given enough? That alone made me want to cry, and 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.479 I was, you know, I don't cry either, and I said, oh, 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.119 this this movie is gonna be deep too. So we 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.280 got woman King. Black Panther two is coming out. I'm 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:21.320 just giving a round applause for the black excellence in 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:25.280 cinema right now. I'm loving it. So uh. Jordan Peele 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:31.320 just did nopead reviews about that. I haven't seen that yet. 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.480 Let me tell you, first of all, as I have 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.600 gotten older, I think I'm turning into a woos because 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:38.920 I used to love horror movies. But I ain't got old. 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.200 And sometimes those teams become and mess with me and 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:42.680 my sleep and stuff, and I don't like all that. 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.920 That's my old person thing. That's that happens to me too. 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:52.680 That's my old person thing. That's off. I need nightmares 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.480 to the conjuring. I've seen the Saw movies. I saw. 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:57.199 I saw a movie and I thought I was gonna die. 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.520 I had a whole dream about Jigsaw. It felt very real. 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.719 It's not you I'm saying. I think I said I'm 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:04.399 getting old. I must be getting the conscious. You know, 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.800 I never used to have. I used to be a 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:12.399 bad fact. There's nothing the facts like things have changed. 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:14.879 But I'm gonna tell you what has not changed. And 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.440 I'm telling you the involvement of these black women. And 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:19.600 I was just watching the thing. I was watching Bill 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:22.479 Maher the other day and there was a guy on there. 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:24.480 I can't remember his name, but he was talking about 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.360 President Joe Biden and he was saying, y'all, he said 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:30.520 he too old. He too old as opposed to being 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.960 too what too young to know he's the most qualified 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.600
