Is God Is

Hey pod! We are back from taking a much-needed break! Tonight, we’re talking about Is God Is, which is a must-see from us. We HIGHLY recommend watching it in theaters before it leaves. Otherwise, it is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime. Is God Is is a southern gothic revenge thriller that follows twin sisters, Racine and Anaia, who set out on a cross-country mission to murder their abusive father as instructed by their mother. Both them and their mother were left permanently scarred as babies when he set their mother on fire. The film is written and directed by Aleshea Harris who also wrote the play that the film is based on and it stars Kara Young, Mallori Johnson, Vivica A. Fox, Sterling K. Brown, and Janelle Monae.
