Summary

Hey HBs! Naima Simone is here! She and Mel gush about the most perfect movie in the whole world: Beyond the Lights! Between Gugu Mbatha-Raw (who sang the whole thing!), Minnie Driver, and Danny Glover, we were bowled over. Plus, parenting in pandemictimes, cackling until your stomach hurts, and rewatching movies for science. CW: discussions of sexual assault that happen on screenLady Loves: Mel AND Naima: This movie's soundtrack!! Follow Naima: @naimasimoneauthor on all the things.POST-EPISODE EDIT: A listener clued us in on some disturbing information regarding Nate Parker and Machine Gun Kelly that Mel and Naima didn't know about before this recording. CW: rape, racism. Nate Parker was charged for and subsequently acquitted of raping a fellow college student in 1999. His alleged co-offender was convicted of rape and later that conviction was overturned. Machine Gun Kelly has a history of fetishizing Black women and making sexual comments about underaged girls. These disappointing and disgusting facts would have definitely changed the tenor of our analysis had we known before. Share Heaving Bosoms with your friends! Listen to Heaving Bosoms Subscribe! Rate!
