Summary

In this week’s episode, Scottie catches us up on the trials and tribulations of being a new dog mom while Sylvia is still recovering from all the birthday celebrations of Libra season. Then, we revisit the latest throwback hit added to the Netflix archive: Halle Berry and Natalie Desselle Reid’s ’97 comedy, B.A.P.S. We revisit the amazing yet sometimes overlooked film before diving into a conversation about what makes a movie a Black classic or Blassic. We discuss our “Officially Unofficial Rules of Blassics,” including some of our favorite Blassics of all time. Finally, we do the unthinkable and share a Blassic film we secretly still haven’t seen.
