  • MICHAEL Part 2: He IS the GREATEST!
    Jun 19 2026

    Happy JUNETEENTH!


    Quincy. Thriller. Bill. Childlike wonder. Katherine. Joe. The sacrifices. The fame.


    Join us for Part 2 as we continue digging into Michael. The story. The tension or the lack thereof.


    So many questions that still don't have answers: Why wasn't Diana Ross featured? Why didn't the film discuss Michael's desire to be an actor? What about Katherine's influence on her son to do things she knew he didn't want to do? Why was Joe the only villain?


    We may never get the answers we are looking for, but we are enjoying discussing ALL things with our special guest, Jamie Simond.


    And once you're done here, feel free to revisit Season 1 and the start of Season 2 while we're on summer break!

  • MICHAEL Part 1: I want to be the greatest
    Jun 11 2026

    Gary, Indiana. Brotherhood. Family. Sacrifice. Music. Fantasy. The greatest of all time. Michael Joseph Jackson.


    We waited a LONG time for this movie.


    A film about one of the most influential entertainers the world has ever experienced. The voice. The moves. The records. The legacy.


    But did Michael truly tell the story behind the icon? Or was it simply a Greatest Hits visual soundtrack that introduced a new generation to the King of Pop?


    Did Joe Jackson push Michael too far? Or did he make the sacrifices he believed were necessary to give his children opportunities he never had?


    And how do you tell the story of someone whose life, talent, and impact were larger than life itself but were layered with complexities that are still discussed today?


    This is a first for us—reviewing a movie that's still in theaters.

    Well... we had to.


    Join us and special guest Jamie Simond, a true MJ fan, as we run back Michael, unpack the performances, the Jackson family dynamics, the music, and the legacy of a man who changed our lives forever.


    And if you know anything about us...

    You already know this is only Part 1.

  • Poetic Justice Part 2: Growth & Vulnerability
    May 2 2026

    Our apologies, we've had to re-publish this episode due to a technical issue.


    Choices. Consequences. Unresolved grief. Misdirected trauma.


    In Part 2, we go deeper into the moments, the looks, the silence. The tension that never really left - but simply shifted.


    Because let’s be honest… it wasn’t really about the arguments.It was about what Justice and Lucky weren’t saying. How two people who wanted to be vulnerable and expose their hearts, but didn't know how to.


    This movie still sparks conversation about how Black men and women love each other — how we show up, how we shut down, and how we try to figure it out in real time, even today.


    From the quiet moments to the loud ones, we’re unpacking what happens when vulnerability meets survival. The pride. The softness. The miscommunication sitting right in the middle of it all.


    Because sometimes it’s not about who was right…It’s about who was willing to grow.


    And maybe that’s the real conversation.
