    Buckle up because this episode is a wild ride! 🎢 We're diving deep into Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black – no sugarcoating, no holding back.

    👑 First up, we name our favorite characters (and why they're carrying the show on their back). Is it the messy one? The quiet one with secrets? Or the one who just can’t get it together no matter how hard they try?

    😱 Then, we break down that jaw-dropping scene everyone is still talking about. You know the one. The scene that had us clutching our pearls, texting our group chats, and pausing the screen like, “Wait, did that just happen?!”

    😩 How did we feel about the midseason conclusion? Was it satisfying, or did Tyler Perry leave us hanging just enough to scream at the screen? We're sharing all our reactions, theories, and even a few predictions for what’s coming next.

    🛋️ And finally… we put on our therapist hats and ask: “What is really wrong with these characters?” From generational trauma to just straight-up bad decisions, we unpack their inner chaos and what might actually help them heal (besides better friends and less drama).

    ✨ It’s funny, it’s real, and it’s a little therapeutic for all of us.

    🎥 Whether you're watching on YouTube or listening on the go, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and drop your thoughts in the comments. Who’s your favorite character? What moment shook you? And who needs the most therapy?

    💬 Press play, and let’s get into it. The twists, the tears, the drama... we’re talking all things Beauty in Black.

    Hey Scripties! In this jam-packed episode, we dive into some major updates and deep conversations in the world of film and TV.


    First, we unpack the surprising dissolution of the Apple TV partnership with Wolfs director, crushing any hopes for a Wolfs 2. After that cliffhanger ending, we’ve got thoughts—and plenty of frustration.


    Next, we explore the bone-chilling performances in Them on Amazon Prime, breaking down its most haunting moments. Then, we dive into the intense family drama of Brothers, a Prime movie about twin brothers grappling with their past and shared DNA.


    From there, we tackle the puzzling final episodes of Grotesquerie. With so many loose ends, another season feels absolutely necessary to solve the show’s mind-bending puzzle.


    We also discuss Beauty in the Black and reflect on the streak of ambitious projects he’s been taking on lately—love them or not, they’ve got people talking. Speaking of standout performances, we highlight Ben Affleck’s moving role in The Way Back. It wasn’t what we expected, but it’s an unforgettable watch.


    Finally, we analyze M. Night Shyamalan’s latest thriller, Trap. How does it compare to his other projects? And what would we have done in a deadly situation with a serial killer?


    Get cozy, Scripties—this episode is packed with twists, turns, and hot takes!

    Hey, scripties! We’re kicking off this episode with the latest Hollywood tea, discussing recent breakups and makeups. Zoe Kravitz and Channing Tatum have called off their engagement right after their movie Don’t Blink dropped and became a hit. Meanwhile, Shaun White and a Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev have taken the plunge and gotten engaged—catch our take on that!

    In our viewers recommended watch segment, we’re diving into Depravity, available for rent on Apple TV or Prime. This thriller follows a group of kids who suspect their neighbor is a murderer, leading them into a deadly mystery. We chat about Victoria Justice’s big step from Nickelodeon to a darker role, Dermot Mulroney’s surprising near-silent performance, and who we thought was guilty in this wild, twisty story.

    Next, we talk about Mr. Crockett on Hulu, where a mother must rescue her son from a demonic children’s show host who’s kidnapping kids. We dig into character differences by age, how an older kid tries to confront Mr. Crockett, and whether our childhood selves would’ve been his targets. Plus, we touch on the film’s budget and whether we’d watch it again.

    Lastly, we look at Wolves on Apple TV, a thriller with Brad Pitt and George Clooney as aging but still suave assassins. They’re hired to “clean up” a job gone wrong but discover the boy they thought was dead is alive—and on the run. We discuss the action, Clooney and Pitt’s timeless looks, and whether we see a sequel in the future. And don’t miss next week’s watchlist: Brothers on Prime, Grotesquerie season one, episodes 6-10 on Hulu, and Vim season 2 on Prime. See you then, scripties!
