  8. Ep. 016: "The Entire History of You (Black Mirror)": Can One Forgive and Forget? feat. Sameena R.

    #016! My work colleagues are so supportive, for real! My longest supervisor was Sameena, when I joined my current company. This was not the easiest time in my life---to say the least. Five years ago, this show, the effort I put into my life now was non-existent. I was fresh out of a dark,...

  9. Ep. 015: "Coming to America Part 1 & 2: African and American feat. Ghali (@glasses_n_beard)

  13. Ep. 011: "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory": Gotta Have the Whimzy (feat. Miles L. @mileslarkartglass)

    Episode eleven we kick it super old school! 1971. Germany but not Germany. A poor, blue-eyed child wins a golden ticket to a factory full of wonder and enjoyment.

  14. Ep. 010: "Mean Girls": Took a Smart Woman to Write a Dumb Movie (feat. Fedi J. @theperceptivescorpio)

    In the double digits! 2004's "Mean Girls", as much as we don't want to admit it, sparked a cultural revolution and so many conversations about what high school life was.

    2021 is the gift that keeps on giving, ain't it? In the world today, tales of hedge funds, Wall Street, and the stock market dominate the news again, confusing us plebes once more and inciting that jealous rage we have against big banks. Well, this episode we dive DEEP into the basics of the…
