The movies Sister Act I & II were pretty much non-negotiable for kids of the 90's so Paige and I have each seen these movies well over hundreds of times. As we are still dealing with the emotional reality of the time we're living in, we thought we would take a look at the world through the lens of these joyful, joyful movies starring a living legend and a queen, Whoopi Goldberg.

So luckily Paige and I aren't monsters and we didn't need a podcast to encourage us to see Jordan Peele's Get Out. In light of all that is happening in our country right now, we thought it was the perfect time to discuss this film. Wherever you are, we hope your safe. As promised, the rest of the show notes contain links to various organization that you can donate to and support the end of the retaliation and diminishment of the black community.

Aisha Alfa is a stand up comedian, actor and writer who lives in Los Angeles but whose roots are in Canada and Nigeria. This is our second episode about black hair because there's too much to cover in one podcast and because Aisha's story is so unique. In fact, wearing natural hair and moving to Los Angeles put her in even deeper touch with her Black identity.

If there's anything we learned from this movie it's that a) Brooklyn is full of Hoes and b) always triple your wig budget. Comedian and podcaster Richard Douglas Jones joins us in our review of Eddie Murphy's Vampire in Brooklyn.

This is a rebroadcast of our very first episode of Black Card Rehab. We hope you enjoy this very fun episode while we work on bringing your more BCC (Black Card Content).
Kennelia Stradwick is a comedian and actor and she LOVES the actor Leon. She is also hilariously stressed out by the fact that Kristal, a black woman, does not know who Leon is. Kennelia wants everyone to know that Leon is the black George Clooney and to show some respect. Give this man his flowers.
