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 screen

Lady 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.
