Ruth and Jaquetta dive into the cult classic "Love & Basketball" as they kick off their summer series examining movies they had to unlearn from, breaking down the film's problematic messages about relationships, identity, and success.

• Analyzing the movie in quarters, just like the film's structure
• Unlearning identity limitations - you don't have to choose between femininity and athleticism
• Character development matters more than talent when pursuing dreams
• Leaders look past gifts to character - "if your mentor don't get on your nerves, you ain't got a good mentor"
• Relationships rarely stay the way they started, and transitions require communication
• Soul ties keep you stuck - "reaching back to get something will always pull you backwards"
• The unrealistic portrayal of Monica getting Quincy back by playing for his heart two weeks before his wedding
• How aesthetics in the film reinforce gender expectations and identity shifts
