Tonight we go over the last of the Oscar nominated movies we planned on seeing.  NOT GOING TO SEE THE MEL GIBSON MOVIE!! And Hell or high water is hard to find.  But we go over the other 3 we had to see.  Alicia my co-host saw Lion and I didnt so she gives us the low down on this movie.  Here's are view of these movies and our order of best movies nominated for the year.

John Wick 2 - Review

Legendary hitman John Wick is forced back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins' guild. Bound by a blood oath to help him, John travels to Rome where he squares off against some of the world's deadliest killers

This session Alicia and I, big fans of the first John Wick movie.  Had to go see this critically admired second chapter of the franchise.  Keanu an enigma of sorts has been a quiet favorite of mine and he has created another character we now enjoy.  even though I don't condone violence.  But in this day an age of the Trump regime.  I totally needed some shoot him in the head action Here's our take

"Get out" Review

Oooooo.....K.  This movie has been talked about and admired by almost every critic out there because of its outrageous turn of horror as it pertains to racism.  Jordan Peele turns the blind eye of liberals not address ing their own racist thoughts and desires into a black mans nightmare.  Satirical in many ways but revealing the underlined comments of white liberals that doesn't compare to the old time southern racism we are use to seeing on screen from the lets go back to the good ole days.  Here's our thoughts.

Our Oscars results

This Session Alicia and I give our feedback from the results of the Oscars.  Besides the surprise comical ending.  The results were almost what we thought it was going to be.  But was it what the  Post Trump (pro and Con) audience wanted it to be?  Lets see if you agree with our thoughts.  

Elle - Foreign Film

Michèle seems indestructible. Head of a leading video game company, she brings the same ruthless attitude to her love life as to business. Being attacked in her home by an unknown assailant changes Michèle's life forever. When she resolutely tracks the man down, they are both drawn into a curious and thrilling game. A game that may, at any moment, spiral out of control.

​Today we review the amazing Isabelle Huppert play one of her greatest roles in the movie Elle.  The twist and deceptionin this movie is extraordinary and we go over them with more than  just a little enthusiasm.  Pretty good podcast to listen to.

Chrisette Michelle and the Black Community

This podcast we discuss the hot topic of Chrisette Michele and her controversial singing at Trumps inauguration.  Well actually just one of the functions of the day of inauguration.  As twisted as it sounds, our thoughts are she could have spun the situation in her favor if she didn't sing but she didn't,  and even now after she did sing she could have done some things to help her appeal.  We debate the issue as well as bring humor to a sad situation.

Moonlight Review

This is our last of the 3 Oscar nominated African American movies we wanted to see.  This story chronicles the story of a young man growing up in the drug populated area of Miami and we see how this child to a teenager then adult deals with coping with a dysfunctional family life and struggle to know who he is in this world as well as his own sexuality.  We talk about this amazing movie and talk about the other Oscar hopefuls.

Fences Review

Today we review the amazing movie directed by Denzel Washington "Fences" written by August Wilson that was a Tony winning Play  and Pulitzer Prize winner.  Alicia and I talk about the emotional movie that took us back to our family relationships and the intensity of the acting that left us captivated.  Absolutely a movie to go see.

Hidden Figures Review

Today we talk about the very uplifting and empowering movie Hidden Figures (not Hidden Fences).  This is so much more of a movie than just 3 women working for NASA.  It really teaches you on so many levels that we had to talk about this.  I hope you get to see the movie if not, take a listen to what our observations are.

Three brilliant African-American women at NASA -- Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) -- serve as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn (Glen Powell) into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation's confidence, turned around the Space Race and galvanized the world.

Westworld Movie/HBO Series

This episode we talk about the weird weird series of Westworld.  We made the decision to see the Westworld movie by Michael Crichton right after completing the series.  We then talk about some of the comparisons and get into the HBO series that had most folks stumped.  Very very interesting series.
