Happy Black History Month! 🎉 This episode is a joyful, chaotic, and deeply opinionated ride through pop culture, the craft of acting and a little side-eye at the internet.

We shout out Phoebe & Jay on PBS Kids (because yes, grab the kiddos to watch), unpack Tamika’s habit of ghosting professional connections (RIP shared resources), and get a VERY dramatic breakdown of the upcoming Bridgerton season—plus Tamika’s extremely late arrival to Yellowjackets. We also question why Tamika still has TikTok as she gears up to break down Bridgerton episodes there…hmmmmm.

From declaring (once again) that 9–5s are a scam, to diving deep into Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan’s In Proximity podcast episode about Sinners (truly elite listening), we talk actor hierarchy, what it really means to be number one on the call sheet, and whether some actors secretly struggle with a “supporting role” mindset. We dig into acting processes—Meisner technique, staying in character vs. switching it off, classic horror gems, and Tony Todd getting paid $1,000 per bee sting in Candyman (DEDICATION).

We close with big life questions: Do you have to be a people person to be an actor? Why is it so hard to ask for what you want? And… people who record themselves crying—are y’all okay?

Moral of the story, new motto unlocked: Ask for what you want and crown yourself.
