  • Episode 25 - Namaste Wahala (SEASON FINALE!!!)
    Jul 10 2022

    We did it! We made it to 25 episodes and it's the season finale! What better way to end season one of the podcast with not only Nollywood, but Bollywood as well! That's what we have with this episode's film, "Namaste Wahala." A rom-com about a Nigerian woman and an Indian man falling in love with each other with supportive friends, but not-so supportive parents. This Romeo-and-Juliet type tale (minus the tragedies) combines the two cultures together into one of the first of its kind to cross-culture two of the biggest in the film industry. Filled with romance, drama, comedy and, of course, song and dance! However, despite the hype, does this film live up to its expectations?

  • Episode 24 - Rattlesnake: The Ahanna Story
    Jul 3 2022

    Another heist movie?! Surprise, surprise! Interestingly, this is a remake of a movie that's based on a true story. Ahanna (or Snake) has his life turned upside down after the suspicious death of his father and he moves to Lagos as an adult where he reunites with childhood friends and they form a sophisticated crime gang called the Armadas. Things go well, until unfortunate circumstances hinder their plans and betrayal and murder ensue. What could possibly happened along the way with Ahanna forming the Armadas, eventually breaking up their Ohana (that means "family")?

  • Episode 23 - The Million$
    Jun 25 2022

    Wow! Another heist movie, huh. I just can't seem to get enough of these type of movies, do I? In this 2019 heist comedy, Bem is a scammer who owes a ton of money to some gangsters and he and his buddies lay out an elaborate plan to get this large some of money buried underground in a house next to his love interest, Ivey? Will they be successful, or will they just fall on their asses along the way? Listen to the episode and hear my thoughts on the film.
