The Help Pt. 2 (Feat. Joelle Monique)

Part two! And boy, would you believe some of the things that director Tate Taylor and author Kathryn Stockett had to say? Such as being locked in a hot bathroom is worse than a lynching? Or that Stockett was sued by the real life maid of her brother whose name just so happens to be...Ablene? We also talk about the renewed interest in the film during the unrest of 2020 and the backlash, recent comments by Viola Davis and Bryce Dallas Howard, and reimagine a much better version that actually centers the Black woman the story is about. 

We also ruin Cameron's hopes of being in Ma 2, but Cameron rebounds by blessing us with some new caucacity! 

 

Movies recommended: Eve's Bayou, Fences, Widows.
