Pay for your fresh fruits before eating them, take off your fake eyelashes before bed, and join us as we celebrate Black History Month with a movie far more thoughtful and prescient than the title would have you believe, The Brother from Another Planet!The Brother from Another Planet is a 1984 film written and directed by John Sayles and starring Joe Morton, Steve James, Leonard Jackson, Maggie Renzi, Renn Woods, Tom Wright, David Strathairn, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Rosetta LeNoire, Fischer Stevens & Bill Cobbs.Visit our YouTube ChannelMerch on TeePublic Follow us on TwitterFollow on InstagramFind us on FacebookDoug's Schitt's Creek podcast, Schitt's & Giggles can be found here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/schitts-and-giggles-a-schitts-creek-podcast/id1490637008

Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith You Hear Good Things podcast network Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations. Explicit
