I do want to shout out for y'all for Motherfucking new patrons who just joined the party.

Shout out to Elise, Nation or Nayisha. I'm so sorry sis. Melanie and Deja. Thank you so much to

the four patrons that just joined the party. Also remember patrons not on this episode episode 53

but next week on episode 54 we will be doing a patrons only raffle for the book Ring Shout that

was written by Pete Jelly Clark who is just fucking fabulous. So while we interviewed him for the show

in the past and the book is super super great. It was also based in Georgia so I love it so much.

So be sure to join our Patreon. Now let's get started with the show.

Welcome to the Side by Side. Under the Believe podcast network. A podcast about Black science

fiction, fantasy and staying on the same page in our marriage. Today is episode 53 of the show and

we will be reviewing Spell. It was a 2020 film that came out directed by Mark Tadunda Rae. I'm

always going to have this up to Tadunda Rae. How do you think of this for now? You couldn't look

up YouTube. I'm not doing all that. Mark thank you for directing a movie or a Black man. We love you.

There will be spoilers for this movie just so everyone knows. I'm going to go ahead and see

you. I think we saw it on Hulu but it might be available on Amazon Prime as well. For those of you

listening, Ben just read me a super fun headline. Ben, why don't you share it with instead of asking

how you're doing. Why don't you just share with me the headline you just read. Three shot in Pennsylvania

over a dispute about baby shower gifts during a baby shower. This is why I read abortion. I'm

just kidding. In this story, it just doesn't encapsulate the importance of abortion and gun

right laws all in one. Oh my god. What a perfect storm. I mean, how awesome would it be to make a

horror story of a crime that was committed at a gender reveal, a baby shower? Oh yeah, that's fun.
