Was It Good Though? Podcast

Episode 190 marks our first Tyler Perry film review in almost two years (be sure to check out our Acrimony episode too). This week, we dive headfirst into Why Did I Get Married? and unpack relationships, friendship, secrets, and everything in between. We’re joined by our sister Lisa and King Toxic himself, a.k.a. Shawn, and once the conversation starts, it moves fast — faster than Mike’s insults toward Sheila. 😅 We get raw about how the 80/20 rule shows up in our daily lives, whether we’d share medical results with our spouse, and whether Tyler Perry was too perfect of a casting choice for Terry. From role reversals and toxicity to debating whether this is one of Tyler Perry’s best films, nothing is off-limits. The episode definitely goes off the rails, so buckle up. We even revisit a few Baby Boy topics from last week — all while making sure to answer the most important question of the show: Was it good though?

The crew is back, and we’re diving into a 25-year-old hood classic Baby Boy with friend of the show and internet fam, RICO! Freshly added to The Criterion Collection with Boyz N the Hood and Poetic Justice, John Singleton’s film hits different in 2026. It’s raw, reflective, and honest about young Black men being coddled by family, the lack of emotional immaturity, and the moment life forces them to grow up.In this episode, we break it ALL down: Have we ever been a Jody? The moments we saw ourselves a little too clearly. Melvin’s impact and why his role might be one of the film’s most important pieces. What makes Baby Boy a classic and why it still resonates today. If Pea’s character was necessary or wasted potential? Yvette’s journey, the choices she makes, and the advice we’d give her. Black men in the home and how the movie frames that conversation. Snoop as Rodney , did we get enough? Did we want more? Plus, we pit Insecure vs. Baby Boy, and Jason hits Jazz with a full UNO reverse in “THIS OR THAT.” And you already know why you’re here… WAS IT GOOD THOUGH?!

We continue the discussion and say our final farewell to the crew. We revisit that moment on top of the TV station, share our thoughts and feelings on the finale, and talk about other shows whose finales didn’t quite live up to expectations. We also dive into possible theories—both our own and some floating around on social media: Is Eleven still alive? Was Vecna innocent before turning evil? And of course, we close it out by asking the most important question…Was It Good Though?

Another two-parter, Ladies and Gents...and this one gets a little strange.For Episode 188, we’re diving into Stranger Things Season 5, and we brought in our brother and sister podcast, Anthony ( ⁨@TSWNMediaNetwork⁩  ) and Lisa ( ⁨@reelmovielovers9570⁩  ). We look back at what made us fall in love with the series, the countless breaks over the past nine years, and what we finally got after a three-year drought. We break down some of the new characters, Vecna/Henry/One’s makeover, and debate whether Erica would’ve been a better choice than Holly to take on Vecna this season. We save our “What Did You Think Though?” for Chapter Two, but just like the first half of Season 5, we leave you on a solid cliffhanger.Be on the lookout for Chapter Two, dropping Thursday (1/15) at 6am EST / 5am CST, with visuals hitting YouTube at 9am EST / 8am CST.

Sometimes the conversation gets so good we have to keep it . We get into anniversary of films . There was some hate for BABY BOY. We then discuss Tyrese as an actor . BATMAN IS A WHO!? Ethan hawk in the DCU?! We get into Dave Chapelles new stand up special and the controversy plenty more!
