This is a head gum original.

Wow! This is the 11th episode of newcomers in our third season. We're working our way through Tyler Perry's body of work.

But the very first time with the help of Perry scholars, super fans and sometimes people who've contributed.

This season is going to be 15 episodes, so there's literally no way we can get to everything.

I honestly think we would have to do this show for years for you to cover all of Tyler Perry's work.

We're going to do a watch long today, which I'm very excited about. It's Tyler Perry's Ruthless, which came out in 2020.

And we'll be watching season one episode one titled The Pilot.

And you can sync to watch the episode with us or just listen to our moment by moment thoughts.

And we'll be revisiting more movies and shows in the weeks to come. We're already getting sad that this season is coming to a close. It's too fun.

It's going too fast because we're actually enjoying ourselves. I mean, I don't know what's going to happen.

So anyway, if you want to watch this, Ruthless is available with subscriptions on Fylo, BET Plus, which you can get through Amazon and YouTube TV or on Amazon itself.

Before we start this episode, what do we know about Ruthless? We know that character Ruth is in the oval.

She's in a cult and there's those creepy cult members that come to steal that little girl.

Also, I'm eight episodes in on the oval and we still haven't found the girl.

The little girl is gone. We don't know.

So also, so Monique told us that Ruth's twin identical twin sister is the mistress of the president.

So I've seen that. They fuck on the oval office desk. It's wild.

Oh my god. It's honestly great. And I'm like scared to watch Ruthless because I'm like, oh my god, I'm going to have another thing to watch.

And this one, Ruthless is a spin off of the oval, which makes less sense because we were like so confused about Ruth as a character.

And then we were like, oh, she's from a different show. And it's like, no, they made a show about her from this.

Yeah, it was like people didn't understand the whole cult thing. And then Tyler Perry was like, oh, I'll just explain it in 13 days. I'll create a season.

That's one of our trivia. One of the trivia. What are the trivia facts is the first season of this show was shot.
