  • Rewind: Brown Sugar (2002)
    Apr 17 2026

    A few months ago, Mike and Toy recorded an episode after watching Brown Sugar. Toy loves Rom Coms and this is one of her favorites. She mentioned this review during the You, Me, and Tuscany review so it felt like the time to release it.

    **Note** This should be the last episode we release that wasn't recorded on the studio mic. Unless we do special immediate reaction episodes.

    Starring: Taye Diggs, Sanaa Lathan, Yasiin Bey, Nicole Ari Parker

    Additional Cast: Boris Kodjoe, Queen Latifah, Wendell Pierce

    Directed by: Rick Famuyiwa

    Written by: Michael Elliot and Rick Famuyiwa

    Quick Synopsis: Friends since childhood, a magazine editor and a hip-hop record executive stumble into romantic territory.

  • You, Me, & Tuscany
    Apr 17 2026

    Mike and Toy return with a big one. Discourse online about You, Me, and Tuscany made it clear that the industry may be impacted by the performance of the Black-led romantic comedy. Stakes or not, we planned to see the film. We were unable to see it during the weekend but good word of mouth encouraged us to get to it mid-week so we could put our two cents in.

    Light, funny, entertaining. We had a lot of feelings about this one. Yes, there are spoilers.

    Enjoy!

    Starring: Halle Bailey, Rege-Jean Page

    Additional Cast: Lorenzo de Moor, Marco Calvani, Isabella Ferrari, Paolo Sassanelli, Stefania Casini, Stella Pecollo, Aziza Scott

    Directed by: Kat Coiro

    Written by: Ryan Engle and Kristin Engle

    Quick Synopsis: When a woman crashes at an empty Italian villa, posing as the owner's fiancée, she discovers an unexpected romance that could transform her life.
