My amazing conversation with Jay Giles about The Wire concludes with a bonus segment in which we reflect on the series as a whole. We share which season was our favorite and why.  And of course I had to ask Jay about the "controversial" second season of the series and whether or not he enjoyed it.  We talk about satisfying character deaths, our favorite moment of comeuppance, and other memorable character introductions beyond the pilot.

Thanks so much for listening!

Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.

My conversation with Jay about the pilot episode of The Wire continues! If you haven't listened to part 1 of our conversation, check it out here.  In this final part of our discussion about the pilot, we talk about what worked well in the episode and whether we would change anything about this well executed hour of television.  We examine whether The Wire is copaganda and close out the discussion with the thirst segment.  I asked Jay to do some thirst-inspired casting for the show. 

Thank you so much for listening! There will be a new episode next Wine Wednesday and keep an eye on your feed for the bonus segment in which Jay and I share reflections about The Wire beyond the pilot.

The FFTC Gang felt it was right to honor Mr. Michael K. Williams. With his unfortunate passing, Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete share their favorites from him, as well as giving the culture a glimpse of the great things he’s done. From being Omar Little (The Wire) to voicing Smokey Greenwood (F Is For Family), he will be remembered as a great actor, and person. Enjoy the show. R.I.P. to Michael.

Although we love celebrating anytime a Black individual breaks barriers to become the first in an industry, we have to ask, is there blowback to being the first? This week Tre’vell and Jarrett dissect the significance of being the first Black this, that, and the other before they share their personal “first” experiences that relate to being a Black and Queer individual climbing up the ranks in entertainment journalism.

Pass the Popcorn

*Spoiler Alert Warning*

In this week’s PTP, Jarrett REALLY wants to talk about a show both he and Tre’vell saw: Netflix’s Clickbait. This thriller sees Nick Brewer (Adrian Grenier) kidnapped only to have his wife, Sophie (Betty Gabriel), and family sent on a wild manhunt to save him. If you haven’t seen the series yet and want to avoid any spoilers, skip ahead to 10:19. And if you’ve seen the show, please @Jarrett, especially if you figured out the ending before watching the final episode. Warning: Jarrett will think you’re lying.

DIS/Honorable Mentions 

HM: Actor Michael K. Williams (Lovecraft Country, When They See Us) died on Sept. 6 at age 54.

HM: Janet Jackson stars in a new Lifetime biopic titled, Janet.

HM: Fawzia Mirza directed the queer Muslim rom com The Syed Family Xmas Eve Game Night that screened at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival.

Black History Is Happening Everyday

This week, Jarrett gives a shout out to his good friend, Chef Seth Brundle, who held his pop-up restaurant for The SZNG on Sept. 6th.

In Need to Know, which classic television shows deserve a reboot? The co-hosts discuss why remaking some sitcoms is/is not a good idea. In All the Feels, Isaiah discusses the seemingly rapid succession of deaths among Black celebrities. Both co-hosts ponder what the lives of some stars would have been like had they lived longer. In Gotta Do, Bianca encourages listeners to apologize more.

This week we discuss the new film ‘CODA,’ which stands for “child of deaf adults.” And joining us is the hilarious comedian, and real-life child of deaf adults, Moshe Kasher. Moshe explains how accurate the film was at portraying the life of a “CODA,” as well as pointing out some of the more interesting American Sign Language translation choices. Plus, we answer a question on the ‘Hotline’ about bad movie recommendations. And, as always, we’ve got ‘Staff Picks.’

In news, Patty Jenkins says streaming movies look like “fake movies” and Michael K. Williams passes away.

Full Circle was full of loopholes that needed to be closed.  Will Christina's autumnal equinox ceremony be thwarted by our newest black heros and heroines?  Whose side is Ruby really on? Will Hippolyta take Dee to another universe? With the Book of Names does Atticus really have to die?   Ashley and Crystal have plenty to say about it all, and let's just say some of these circles aren't really full.
