'Straw is No Exit for Black Women'
2025/06/18
Tyler Perry's Straw has a misleading title — because it isn't a straw that breaks the camel's back in the film about a single mom (Taraji P. Henson) driven to extremes, but an absolutely nightmarish event that is only revealed in the film's insane final act. In this episode, Aaron, Keith and Tim talk about whether the movie takes place in hell, great movie twists and why they work — from Fight Club to The Sixth Sense — and the correct way to pronounce San Pedro. We wrap up by praising Tubi's Flew'd Out and the works of fantasy author Brandon Sanderson. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
