The Silver Linings Playlist
Not every movie wraps up with a neat little bow on the end. Some leave you asking "what the f@#$?!" We're here to find the silver lining in the latter. Join Dustin, Mallie, and Nathan every Monday as we try to find the light at the end of the tunnel for some of cinema's bleakest endings.

Episode 179: Judas and the Black Messiah (with Brandi Dewberry and Jenn Paulemon)
We couldn't let Black History Month end without discussing not only one of the best movies about Black history, but one of the best movies of the decade. While 2021's Judas and the Black Messiah indeed got the praise it was due at the Academy Awards, we still feel as if it hasn't gotten the admiration it deserves. So put on your shades and adjust that beret as we talk about the incredible performances from absolutely everyone in this movie, plus Florida schools banning the dictionary (yes, seriously), AI Nancy Pelosi, burying our dreams of ever receiving X-Men powers, and much, much more with returning guests Brandi Dewberry and Jenn Paulemon! And remember: anywhere there is people, there is power.
Judas and the Black Messiah stars Daniel Kaluuya, LaKeith Stanfield, Jesse Plemons, Dominique Fishback, Ashton Sanders, Algee Smith, Graham Lutes, Martin Sheen, and Lil Rel Howery. Directed by Shaka King.
