Diagnosing Sitcoms & Movies Podcast

Friday After Next

Was Ricky Smiley Santa really just the Ghetto Grinch? Either way, we diagnose him and the rest of the characters in this definite Christmas classic Friday After Next.

Fresh Prince

Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool, and diagnosing Fresh Prince of bel air. This classic sitcom had lots of layers, and we never really find out what Will is doing with his life. But what we did learn, was that if Jazz was wearing that one shirt, he was getting thrown out. 

Carmen Jones

We are joined by special guest Dr. Vernita Perkins, while we  diagnose the classic 1954 all Black cast Carmen Jones. Not to be confused with the hip hopera. We explore the super toxic relationships, and celebrate the black excellence in this film.  

Boondocks

This episode we diagnose the characters from the ground breaking animated series The Boondocks, or at least tried to in between laughing hysterically. But how white was Woodcrest that Grandad's only village for raising Huey and Riley were Tom and Uncle Ruckus?  

Major Payne

This episode we diagnose Major Payne. We try to figure out why the state of Veteran Affairs is so trash, why a trained assassin was put in charge of a group of kids, and why this school never had any classes. But most importantly we laugh at this hilarious movie that is another Wayans Brothers classic.

Candyman

This episode we diagnose the OG Candyman (ghetto Freddy Krueger). Trevor deserved everything he got, but what happened to Jake? But be sure to go watch the new film also. 

Menace II Society

This episode we diagnose the characters from Menace II Society. We also introduce made up diagnoses of bitchassedness and hustlitus, while debating whether this film was a comedy.

Eve's Bayou

Its our one year anniversary episode!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. During this episode, we diagnose Eve's Bayou. But we still don't REALLY know EXACTLY what happened.
