It's Thanksgiving! In the spirit of the holiday, Carolyn and the cast have invited their family members to the show for a #ThanksgivingWithBlackFamilies edition of The C-Dubb Show. First, they discuss the latest round of Hollywood sexual assault allegations featuring George Takei, John Grisham, and Clarence Thomas. Then, they jump over to end of the year awards and nominations with Colin Kaepernick and Blake Shelton. There is a new edition of "History Lessons with B. Willis" as she tells the...

Disney's highly anticipated (and heavily promoted) streaming service is finally here! Is the Disney+ content (we'll discuss bugs and omissions in a later episode) what we've truly wished for upon a star, or are we poor, unfortunate souls for signing up? And what of "The Mandalorian," the first live-action Star Wars series, and its breakout character (*redacted* - so cute!). All this plus Dwayne Johnson trying to Dwayne Johnsonify one of DC Comics' most murderous supervillains, whether Vin...

25 years ago, Atlanta pop/R&B royals Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes, and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas rose through the (literal) ashes of controversy and scandal to release one of the best-selling and best-loved R&B albums of the decade. In this special episode, the SSN Crew, and special guest Tim from the Kuroverse Corporation, do a track-by-track retrospective on TLC's sophomore album, "Crazysexycool." We cover behind-the-scenes stories, the group's origins (and its forgotten...

We also mourn the loss of everyone's TV "Pops," John Witherspoon, and Courtney straight loses it at the news of Katie Hill's resignation from Congress. Oh yeah...and Jesus is King.

In this episode, the SSN Crew indulges in two big discussions about two very different films celebrating anniversaries with new productions. First up, we discuss Stephen King's classic horror novel "The Shining," the subject of a classic film celebrating its 40th anniversary with a sequel, "Doctor Sleep." Can this new entry following an adult Dann Torrence mentoring a Black teenage girl live up to the legacy of the Stanley Kubrick classic? Then, we dive back in time again - and under the sea...

"Def did not think we would be talking about hymens today..." (© Chrissy Teigan) ...but that's exactly what we are talking about. The crew is joined by Stephanie from the Mocha Minutes Podcast and Alasha to discuss Whitney Houston's broken heart and T.I.'s quest to "protect" his daughter's hymen. This is not a joke. This is real life. WHERE TO FIND OUR GUEST: Find Stephanie online at: Twitter: @MochaMinutes Instagram: @MochaMinutes WHERE TO FIND OUR CAST: Find Carolyn online at: Twitter:...

A long time ago (last week), in a galaxy far, far away (Burbank), a media conglomerate announced a sprawling new steaming platform full of some of their most popular movies and TV shows, as well as new productions. No, it isn't Disney - it's Warner Bros., and, unlike with the Mouse House, there's far more hurdles to overcome. Can HBO Max overcome branding issues and a high monthly price to make new "Green Lantern." "Boondocks," and "Little Ellen" (!) productions successes? In this episode,...

The SSN Crew returns to discuss two very different new movies featuring Black actors. First up is "Harriet," the hotly-debated biopic about Black American hero Harriet Tubman embroiled in multiple controversies, some reasonable, some blatant lies. Does the movie do justice to our legend, or is it a white savior movie featuring an implausible interracial love story? Or...is it neither? Then, we review Eddie Murphy's return to form in "Dolemite is My Name," with its look at the making of a...

The SSN Crew takes a break from discussing filmed entertainment to discussed printed entertainment - comics! We discuss our favorite comic books and comic strips growing up, and what we're currently reading as well. Plus, LaTria discusses her love for Cedric the Entertainer as we express our bewilderment at a "Johnson Family Vacation" sequel, and Ali is shocked to learn how expansive and prolific the "Mammy" stereotype was in classic American film. SHOW NOTES: 0:00:00: Our Favorite Comic...

We've seen quite a few 50 best rapper lists online as of late (thanks, T.I.?), but what about the opposite? In this episode, the SSN Crew discusses and reacts to the Top 50 WORST Rappers of All-Time list - and a few of the entries will shock you! In addition, we discuss Disney+ and HBO Max making power plays for your attention and your money and yet ANOTHER upcoming live-action Disney remake (argh!). There's also reviews of Netflix's "Raising Dion", the salacious LGBTQ+ documentary "Scotty...

Are two Wills better than one? The SSN Crew and special guest Tammy aka Cowkitty review Ang Lee's latest experiment with high-frame rate filmmaking. Unlike with his previous "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk," this time Mr. Lee has a secret weapon: Will Smith! Was seeing Fresh Prince vs. Fresh Prince worth watching in (*deep breath*) Dolby Cinema 3D at 120 frames per second, or is it not much more than an action-heavy telenovela? Also, did Jason Weaver make a mistake by taking royalties...

The CW's new & returning shows are back, including a rather somber "Riverdale," a rather meh "The Flash," and...a rather grown Nancy Drew having sex? With a Black ex-con? The SSN Crew and special guest Tammy aka Cowkitty discuss these shows (and her fave, "The Masked Singer"), plus the films "The Addams Family", "El Camino", "Little Monsters", "Dolemite is My Name", and more! SHOW NOTES: 0:00:00: Follow-Up ◦ "Joker" & Gary Glitter ◦ Tyler Perry, unions, LGBTQ+/abused shelter ◦ Diahann...
