In this episode I talk Sistas ep 10.4~10.6, The Upshaws the 7th and final part, Katt Williams: Last Report, and Uncle Joe's College Road Trip.
Hello, welcome to Airm Reviews. I'm Angelina Maria, and on tonight's program, we'll be talking about Sisters Season 10, episodes 4 through 6, The Upshalls, the final part, which is season 7, Kat Williams Last Report, and Tyler Perry presents Uncle Joe's College Road Trip. Anywho, let's get into the program. First up on the program, we have Sisters, like I said, season 10. Um, episodes four through six. Um, which I'm gonna be honest, we just found out from the last one that Danny was she was not like trigger warning, trigger one, trigger warning. Okay, couple things. Trigger warning, because um, sisters been getting to some dark stuff, so is Uncle Joe a little bit. Like, we really finna have a whole bunch of trigger warnings, and then also I do um spoilers. So if you have not seen this stuff already, I just kind of talk about what I remember, and I'm also gonna remember scenes, dialogue, and what really happened. So I'm I'm sorry if you didn't watch it. So you might want to. Anywho, sisters, you can find on like live TV. Um, if you behind uh a seasoning, of course, you you can go on BT Plus, but it's like the behind the season or two, whatever. So you might want to either watch it on like on demand or whatever your live TV is. So may that be follow, may that be YouTube TV, Hulu, I think I'm not live, whatever the heck, you know, wherever the heck you can find that. But anywho, so pretty much what we just found out is in episode four, it comes back after pretty much it's like the aftermath of Danny getting almost assaulted by Officer Green, which if y'all have been here for a while, we kind of done been through this journey with Danny. I I just think that Courtney is writing it in a different way than Tyler Ferry, which I'm kind of feeling. Thank you, Courtney. We'll talk about that more later. Anywho, so we found out that like Danny has just got assaulted by Officer Green. Um, and it becomes a whole thing because Tony tried to come over, I think to get his bag or something, but he tries to come over and then he's like, You're not right. Let me see what I could do to help. And then he ends up like over the span of episodes four through six, because I'm kind of blending them, so sorry. Um, he ends up pretty much like calling for help. He ends up calling for help. And this was like the main kind of story that was going on. That's why I'm talking about it mostly in first. Um, he ends up calling for help. So at first, he and then she calls Fabia because he's trying to talk to Danny. Danny answers the door with like a knife and what the heck is wrong with you? And then he noticed bruises, and he's like, You ain't being yourself, Danny. Like, is you cool? Like, what's going on? And um Danny, you know, gives her little excuses. B does Danny, you know, deflect, try to not really deal with it. And he like, nah, something ain't right. And then Danny like retreats to the bathroom, which that just cyber. Hey, Courtney, before this is done, Danny they came into some money, they came into a business, is a third of a partnership, of a salon, a spa situation. Um, which I think they want to turn to a spot. I don't know if they still are, but anywho, Danny got a business. Can we give is she y'all gave her a new building? Can we give her a new apartment? That would be nice. That would be nice. Y'all don't mind me. It's a little, it's a little hot in here. It's a bit of a storm going on, and it's March in Chicago, so they're like, oh, you hot, you you cold. No, Negro, I'm hot because your Chicago weather's slow. Anywho, sorry about that. Just so I I didn't want to look like I was on nothing. Anywho, sorry about that. Sorry about that. Anywho, so back to Danny. So, um, like I said, Danny is just um got attacked. That that part is true. She got attacked by Officer Green, she ended up fighting him off for the cast iron skillet, and you know, that's when the following episode you see uh what's that baby name? Tony come in, and he's like, What's going on? Chew, you had some dope with a night, what's happening? You're not your normal self. Danny decides to retreat. So when she decides to retreat, going to the bathroom, he like, yeah, this definitely not like you. Like, what's going on with you? So he first calls Chrisha and he's like, Okay, she won't talk to me. I need her to talk to somebody. So he ends up talking to Krisha, and he gets Chrisha to talk to her. He's like, Hey, I don't know what's going on with her. She got bruises, she answered dogs with knives, girl hiding in the bathroom, like she got bad diarrhea. I don't know what's wrong with this baby. So if you could talk to her, she, whatever it is, she it's a higher chance she's gonna talk to you versus me. So see if we can handle that. And sure enough, Chris ended up talking to her. She's like, You and what the heck is wrong with you? This is not a normal reaction, this is not a normal response. Uh Danny some up. Okay, cool. So then Chrisha really doesn't get anywhere. Like, Chris's like, Were you sexually assaulted? You know, you know, what happened to I don't think she said rape child. Well, I'm Day Lady Dallas for A behind, so I don't think she actually used the word rape, but I know like she was like, Were you sexually assaulted? Were you attacked? Like, what happened? And Danny's not really giving her any real answers because Danny, Danny feels like she can't, like, especially at this point, like she told him because like with Jonah, if we go back to season five, which I'm I'm gonna do a whole thing on that, but if we go back to season five, Danny was able to say to Jonah, I'm gonna call the police, or um actually go to the police and go to law. But she feels like she can't do that because when she tried that with with Officer Green, he was like, Who's gonna call Ghostbusters? I'm the police, like what you gonna do to me? You know, like you can't do nothing to me. And I think he's a sergeant if they kept the original writing, because you know, baby, the writers we go from Tyler Parents in the writing room. Now we according. So we're gonna see how much we pick and choose and how much we want to keep. But anywho, it was like, you can't really call the police. I am the police, they're not gonna believe you over me. And then everybody kind of tells you out mail, out me. So it's that's the whole thing, too. So Danny's not feeling comfortable really telling anybody, she really just wants to forget it happen, she don't really want to deal with it. So Price, like, nah, something definitely happened. If I'm beginning to think you were harm to yourself, to others. I'm about to put you on some psych type stuff. What's going on with you? So she's like, I'm not, I'm not. She was like, if don't nobody do nothing to me, I won't do nothing, not a self-defense. She's like, all right, cool, I'll let you chill. She was like, I ain't gonna press the issue because that's not gonna make you talk to me. That's just gonna make you cheat even more. So I'm gonna let it go. She gave her a setative to go to sleep. Tell you something. Do you know how far gone I need to sleep for the for the doc, especially a therapist, like, you need a sedative? Just just go to sleep. Like, so she ended up giving her that talking to something, like, yeah, I ain't getting nowhere. But I don't know what's wrong with this baby. I don't know what having this baby, but she she she's gone. So then, of course, she fast forward to him being like, Well, hey, she ain't get nowhere. All she did was knock the girl out. So I need I need to know what's going on because something's really going on with her. So let me go ahead and get her home, girls. And it's like you're gonna talk to somebody, and once again he leaves again, and they didn't really get nowhere. I feel like if somebody said this, I saw the tweet that somebody said that they was like, they feel like if Andy wasn't there, Danny would have talked to Fatima. I'm not gonna hold you, I don't necessarily disagree. And the reason why I feel like this is because we have to think about once again, tie it to what happened to her last time. When we think about what happened to Danny last time, she tried to go to Fatima, but she know her, her and Fatima both knew like we not cool like that, so we're not gonna, we're not gonna be able to gel like that and get to get to whatever this is, right? And when she saw, that's why Fatima was like, oh my gosh, like even the the secretary, Lydia, I think it's her name, she was like, Fatima, you want to come look at this lady, she's not right. And it was like, but no one was familiar enough to do anything. So Danny understood, like, okay, I don't expect Fatima to do nothing. And then of course Lydia was like, at least she said your name, like, so she obviously knows you somehow. And it was kind of this understanding, like, we don't have enough to be bonded. Well, in the past few seasons, Danny and Fatima have actually bonded as friends, bonded over their men and things like that. So, and actually chilled and hung out and stuff. So Dana kind of, you know, so it's a stronger tie there. And I feel like had Fatima, that's why Fatima led that when she, because if you think about it, you would think Andy would have got to the bathroom first and said, Hey Danny, we hear what's going on. Danny knew, like Andy knew, like I might not be the boy she, you know, gonna respond to. But when she heard Fatima, she said Fatima, almost like the way she sounded is the way she looked back in season five when she was telling Andy what Jonah had did to her. And Andy called in Fatima, and Danny was like, I don't know, I don't want her, like I don't know this lady. I don't want to this this is really embarrassing, this is humiliating, this is like the worst night of my life, and you want me to tell this in front of a woman I I barely know what Kelly Kelly can't even stand it, like this your employee, like because that's how Andy kept playing Fatima at the time. Like, oh, this is just my employee, this is just my employee. And Danny was trying to be like something, no, I thought we were cool with her, you know, like at least trying to be or something. So when she was like bringing her in, she was like, I definitely don't want the woman that you won't even respect as a homie, like won't even respect as a girl you cool with. You won't even respect it as an associate, you keep calling her an employee. I want her to have my deepest, darkest, embarrassing moment at the moment. And um when she came in and was like, it sounds like self-defense to me. Do you want me to get my cousin? Like when she showed Danny, oh no, I got you. Like, I don't have to know you because Danny and Fatima work on that I'm a girl's girl. I ain't got to know you to stand behind you. You my sister, that's just how I see you. So, but Danny, that's why Danny looked that way. So when she heard Fatima, it was almost the same sound the way she looked. Like, it was like Fatima? It was like literally, if you go back to season five, the way Danny looked, Danny looked like Fatima had offered her water, and Danny had been suffering in the desert, and Fatima just turned to an oasis and they gave her water, like it was the craziest freaking thing because it's like the way she looked, it was crazy, and the way she sounded too like Fatima, that's you. Why are you here? And somebody said that in a tweet, and I believe that. Like, if Danny would have just talked to Batima, she probably would have gone through because Fatima really cared, like not saying Andy didn't, it's just that first of all, now Andy got deal with her sister and her mama, kind of too, but she got deal with her sister, and it's just like Andy has never known how to care for Danny or deal with Danny because Danny's the strong one. How I'm a ho how I'm gonna care for my rock when it's my rock. Danny is Andy's rock, not the other way around. So when Danny be falling apart and when Danny be needing a rock, she can't turn to nobody. And the closest person that she felt like she could turn to Sabrina because Sabrina would let her fall to pieces. But it's like, girl, that was no. And then Karen tried tough look because she like you a rock, so you like that. And it's like, nah, bruh. Sometimes I need somebody to say it's okay. And that's what Fatima was for Danny. And Danny had never seen that until Fatima, like, dang, I could turn to her. I can I could lean on somebody that that's possible. And then Fatima kind of felt that way a little bit with Danny. Not as much. I'm not gonna hold you, not as much. But she does feel like I can at least halfway, you know, you know, put my arm on the girl's shoulder. But anywho, um, she tries to have a conversation, and of course, Danny's like, I'm not really having a conversation. And they she even kind of like lashes out at Fatima, like, oh, who you think you are, Sabrina? Danny, that's really realistic. You don't want another Sabrina, and we don't want one either.
SPEAKER_00Goodbye. She's going on to be with them. Hallelujah. Praise Jesus. No, Sabrina was a horrible friend, and I got a video for that too, but just not right now.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_01That lady was abysmal. God, she was abysmal, especially to Danny. She was a horrible freaking friend. I ain't got time for that. Anywho. Speaking of Sabrina, just sidebar. Since we own a little baby. Um Maurice did go check on her and talk to her and things like that, which I could have done without. I could have done without that house. Big girl gone. Like, we know y'all rolled her off. Put that baby in a box and put her on the ground, please. Thank you. Like, gone, get that baby fume gone so we can go on. Like, we knew Karen was gone, like we know Sabrina gone. Like, we come on now, baby. Y'all, y'all overdoing it. What y'all trying to do the same. Uh, I okay. I guess y'all trying to do the same thing I did with Karen. Like, all of season nine, really, the no this to season nine. I promise you, no this. The reason why season nine, I feel like, is not scripturally. Oh, that sounds like I'm talking about the Bible. Okay, scripture wise isn't the greatest, is because they spent a nice chunk of it letting you know this is gonna be Karen's last season. Farewell to Karen. Okay, you could have just sent that baby on and had a nice day. And then y'all decide this is George O'Malley, Sabrina, then George O'Malley, Sabrina. George O'Malley did not get a whole season. You know, child, that's another show for another day. Anywho, back to back to the point. We we visited Sabrina and she was still a zucchini. Anyway, um, back to Danny. Back to Danny. Um, they trying to get somewhere, they ain't getting nowhere, they ain't getting nowhere. So then after a while, Tony, like, you know what, have it? Uh no. She ended up like telling them like, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, just gone on, going on. And they do eventually leave her alone because they was like, no, because she gets mad enough to actually say what happened to her, like, well, not really. But she pretty much tells them, like, okay, dude tried to rape me, he didn't rape me. That's not what happened, okay. Like, and the thing that I love that Courtney is doing, and I'm not saying love because this is a horrible storyline, but it's a true storyline, and it does happen to a lot of people. I'm not even gonna just say women, people, but a a lot of women, a lot of women. Really a lot of women, people, but a lot of women. Anywho, she's like, he tried to rape me, but it didn't. Maybe that's also sexual assault. That's still a crime because you got chokes, you got bruises around your neck, bruises on your body, and you had to beat this man to get him out. So you had to commit self-defense, you had to practically commit another violent crime to get this man out of your house. So at the bare minimum, ma'am, he sexually assaulted you, which is still a crime. And stopped you, which is also a crime. So it's like, you know, we gotta at some point, at some point, we gotta call the crime. You you talking about the crime he didn't do. Okay, he didn't commit rape, he just committed sexual assault and stalking. And force for entry because and on lawful entry is it forceful and lawful entry? Which one is gonna be the crime? Because she said, No, try to close the door. He said, No, I'm in here now. So I'm I'm just trying to y'all help me out. I don't know all the laws. I didn't go to school. I'm not Andy, I didn't go to school for law. So, anywho, that you know, she ended up snapping on that, eventually leave. And one thing I will say that uh shout out to Courtney one more time. No disda Tyler. I love that he wrote where Fatima tells Zach what happened to Danny. Zach never knew about Jonah because when Tyler Perry I got another video for a bit. Anyway, Tyler when you get into how Tyler Perry wrote Danny's uh actual rape, because she was actually raped by Jonah. We can get into it, but she was actually raped by Jonah, and the way it was written, it was written like, oh well, it was her fault, night gone wrong, whatever. She talked too much. Versus what Courtney is writing, it's like, no, she actually had an affair with this man. This man is low-key dealing with fatal attraction, and she's still the victim because she told him exactly what it was, when it was, and where it was, and how it was, and he just decided to be delusional and attack her. Like, actually, even though she's still a victim when it comes to, and when I mean victim, I'm not mean like woe is me, I mean like somebody did something to her. Um, she's more of a victim when it comes to um Officer Green, even though she technically is a least perfect victim because it's like, well, you did all of this, you what you was one doing them conversations, you was wanting to stuff with that man. You and I'm not blaming Danny, but I'm just saying the part of the reason why we can be like, Well, it's like more of a well, I mean, you did okay have an affair with that man. But the thing is, because of the fact that the way it's written by Courtney, you can't help but see her as a victim because she told him, Hey, I don't want to be with you no more. I'm gonna be with my man. No, get away from me. I don't want this. I said this multiple times. I don't want to stand by you on because she's saying all these things, it's like the actions he do after that, after all of that, she told you at the grocery store, she told you, told you her dope, she told you in the living room, she told you in between that space in between her dough. She told you her no. Sir, and I mean this this just I'm just saying, no. How many times she got said it's a mistake? But it's like you you can see her as less of a victim almost because she actually did entertain this man for so long. But she also told me exactly what it was. Whereas Jonah, the way Tyler Perry wrote it, know this to him, and I'm gonna get off this in a little bit, but know this to him. The way you wrote that, you wrote it in a manner was like, This man actually raped her, and all his assaults was way more egregious, but you wrote it where even the castmates was like, Well, I mean she needs to stop letting niggas in the house. No, no, that's what y'all got out of that. That's not what you was supposed to get out of that. No, what she also said, I don't want to do this. That was said. It also actually has in the beginning of the episode, no joke. I promise you, I don't care what you find episode. It's episode five, it's season five, episode seven. It says in the beginning, practically we finna rape Danny, okay? If this is too much for your eyes, going on about your business. You're finna witness sexual violence. It says that at the end of the episode, right after they do the sexual violence, so you not confused that we did the sexual violence. That's it, I'm gonna say, yeah, if you did, if you witnessed anything like what you just like if you experience anything like what you just witnessed, or you know anybody experienced anything like what you just witnessed, yeah, you need to call this hotline because baby, you have been raped, you have been sexually assaulted, it's what they freaking say, and y'all still sat the way Tyler Far wrote, I promise you, y'all still sat up there and said, Well, watch Laman House. Watch go on the day with a oh my god, this man told me from beginning to end, I'm gonna assault this girl, and y'all didn't see it. Meanwhile, Courtney never had to put that mess up, but because the way he wrote it, he did, you know what? This is a whole nother episode. I'm gonna just move on to the shows because I'm already 20 minutes in. If I keep going on this sister's thing with Danny, and the way the difference between assault with women are written, and it's so crazy because you I can't even say, Oh, well, uh, man wrote then a woman. No, both they names just you and the sex baby. That was two males, far as I know, that wrote that. Like, I don't know what how Courtney identified. Far as I know, Tyler identifies as male. I've never heard heard him say anything other than he and him about himself. Um, but far as I know, they both identify as male, and they wrote the same type of story with something that has nothing to do with men. Like, men are the bad person in this, and the woman is the victim in this. That happens a lot. It happens to men too. I'm not taking that from them, but one wrote it in a way that was like, You literally had all the cards to make this girl a victim, and we never had to go through this again. Versus the other looked at them and was like, Why you drop the ball like that, bruh? Because that's what it looked like to me. And I could be wrong. And then he was like, Okay, technically, she finna be. She was imperfect then. This girl finna borderline be the problem. But people gonna see her as the victim because the way it's gonna be written. I'm just gonna move on. That's pretty much what those three episodes was about. Um, what happened to Danny? What was going on with Danny? Is Danny gonna tell? And no, she did not. No, she did not. So that's that's that on that. And I really will be end up going comparing between season five and season 10. So I'd just rather just just move on. Because it was mostly Danny, just like in season five episodes what seven through nine was mostly about Danny. It was like, you I it moving on to the upshot season seven, because we 20 minutes in, over 20 minutes in. So, okay, so the upshots ended up doing a final season, which they stopped calling them seasons, I think after about two or three, and start calling them parts. Um, Upshots been going on when 26. Upshot was a go actually seven years, because I think it came out in 19. Which is why I don't know why they stuck. That ain't my business. I just watched the show. I got to I got to know why they do what they do. So, anywho, um, they did the final part of um the Upshots, which is season seven. Excuse me, and they pretty much Regina at this point in time is trying to run for, I want to say, she's trying to run for an office. I think mayor, if I'm correct. Y'all, I'm so sorry for swipe wiping my sweat. It is really hot. Uh Chicago has slow weather, and I live in a building that got a radiator where I do not control the heat. And um it's giving I do other stuff, and I'm trying to let that be no, I don't. I'm sorry. Anywho, so Virginia trying to run for office, and within the first like episode, I think it comes out that she did like blackface, like so. She was supposed to be doing like a protest, right? And since she was supposed to be doing like a protest, she ended up protesting some racist stuff and was like, let's do blackface. No, let's not, let's not do blackface, but she did blackface in college, and I think the photo resurfaced or it came out or whatever, and she thought that it was gonna hurt her campaign, and it did because she ran her mouth and then she ran her mouth to Benny. Which can I just say something? I I um I love Mike Epps, I think he's a funny comedian, and um I talked about him, I think I'm the last episode, anywho. Um Benny Upshadow, I've never okay. Outside of some Tyler Perry characters, I love you, Tyler, but I just love you. I just I just want you know I love you, and I've been loving you since I'm six, and I'm just gonna leave it at that. I ain't got ain't no butt. I love you. Um, outside of some Tyler Perry characters, not one redeeming characteristic. And it's like, as you watch him, it's like Regina, because Regina's character is actually smart, like, really, really smart woman. But she, I say, no, um, I know this is fiction and I know it's characters, but it makes you want to think, because women do this in real life, people, period, but women do this in real life, and you'll be like, well, what the penis hidden for? Because you can't be this stupid just because he ain't that pretty. So I I don't, and he, I'm looking at him not be that smart. I'm listening to him not be that smart, looking at him not be that pretty. So I'm confused. It got to be how that batswing, because I don't understand why you're dealing with a man that got you looking this stupid and Regina. He up Benny Upshaw ain't got a redeeming quality, not a redeeming factor. I was like, this and any and every he was purposefully like, oh my sabotage my wife. For what? You dum dumb. Whatever she get, you get legally cause you married to her. And walks in your house when she walks in your house. So why would you sabotage her if she can go further than you? I don't understand that. For the sake of what? To say you a man? Like, I don't understand that Negro had he like Benny Upshaw does get on my nerve, but this season he was like, he told homeboy she was um the dude he was working for for the vans to save him cleaning some vans. Now you working on a few vans. Now this woman can be mayor, got keys to the whole city. Now you want to sit up there because you want to clean a few vans or do handle a few vans. You you you a sabotage on. Meanwhile, this woman run the city. Run the city. Oh my god. Like he he was just doing hey. Then dude ended up going against her, and of course, dude was willing to do, I can't think of dude's name, but I can see his face. His um dude, he was doing the uh business for the uh doing the bands for, he ends up running against her. Okay, cool. So now Regina's like, all right, you got to play dirty with dirty at the same time, just sidebar one decision's character, Lucretia, her and her husband. I'm gonna be honest, wives, women, I'm I can't tell you how to be with your man. Like, I can't tell you how to be with your mate because everybody don't want no man, so let me not say that. But I can't tell you how to be with your mate, but do not be LaCretia and her partner and her mate, because she talked to that man, cash, she called him a dumbass and a bitch, and I was like, let me tell you something. If somebody halfway like you, f love like you, let me tell you what they the few things they will never say to you, they will not say things that's so out of pocket to you, and calling you out your name is gonna be harder for them to do. I'm I'm speaking from experience. Because when you really love somebody halfway like, halfway like, you gonna handle them with a level of care because you're gonna want them to handle you with a level of care, and because I care about you and I like you all. But she hadn't, he like, bruh, can you not talk to me cash crazy? She like, I didn't talk to you cash crazy, but you crowned like a little bitch, so I ain't say that though. Like, what? This one was I was like, yeah, he need a new wife. He need a new wife because ma'am, no, because if he called if he called you one back, you're gonna be ready to fight. And then, of course, one thing I did love this season is all three of the Kims of the 90s was on there. You had Kim Fields, which of course is Regina, you had Kim Coles, which it was, which was uh, she was the college friend who like encouraged him to put the black face on, and you have Kim Wentley who plays Kim Fields' big sister. I love it to have the Kim, the Kim Kim and Kim of the black Kim's of comedy, especially of the 90s, of my childhood, anywho. So I loved it. But um, any he anywho, so since we're talking about Kim Wentley, um, the dude who Kim Fields was like running against, but Regina was running against. I really can't think of buddy's name, and it's getting on my nerve because I can see his face. Um, she ended up being like, I need to get some dirt on him. How do I get some dirt on him? So, mind you, she sent her sister to go, you know, sleep with dude. Well, she well, well, she did. She sent her sister to sleep with dude knowing her sister was gonna sleep with dude, but the sister didn't know, even though the sister, the sister knew when she saw him, she knew, but she was like, Oh, I'm gonna get over on my sister. She was like, No, I'll sent you in to do that. I practically prostituted you, pimped you out. Now give my intel, and she didn't give her an intel, she didn't help out at all, or what have you. And I'm kind of mad because I'm a little behind, so I'm trying to remember. Did they do no?
SPEAKER_00She ended up winning.
SPEAKER_01I think she won. Yes, she ended up winning because you know it was like the kind of like the end of everything, because you know, like, and he had to end up selling the shop or what have you. So he's gonna end up selling the shop. The son is going to be Benny Jr. is going to be with the daughter, so he's gonna be Kali with her, and he's gonna take his partner. Um, what's that oldest baby? Aaliyah. Aaliyah's the oldest. Aaliyah's gonna end up going, I think, with the brother. Oh my gosh, that goddamn. What's that baby name with uh he didn't have but her name? Is it Gabby Douglas? What's her name? Her name is Gabby or Gabrielle. She was on Black Lady Sketch Show. I don't want to mess her name up. I can see her face too. I'm really doing bad.
SPEAKER_00Um, but anywho, what is the name of that baby?
SPEAKER_01That that baby he had out of wetlock. I can't think right now these people's name is not doing well tonight. So sorry. Um anywho, he dude got into racing, got into a trouble. That's that's usual. Ended up putting the baby out, the baby in a run around, and then of course, like I said, got into racing and ended up doing something with it. So he gone on. The mama did marry the Asian man. And then I'm trying to think. Uh I feel like I'm missing somebody. Oh, then of course, my has like 10. She ain't gonna do nothing too tough. So it was what it was. Anywho, that was the season seven of the upshots. I feel like that was like the worst review ever, and I'm really sorry for this. This is really crazy. Uh um, next up on the program, we have Kat Williams' Last Report. So, this was Cat Williams' like latest special or what have you. So, since this was his latest special, uh one thing I will say, he does talk about Diddy, which he predicted and which he called out, but he doesn't spend his whole special talking about Diddy. I think it's like 55 minutes or something like that. He talked about Diddy probably about 25, 30 minutes into it. Talks about Diddy for about five minutes and he let it go. And he pretty much said, I'm not gonna be scared of Diddy for four years. What he mostly talked about was like his kind of like journey through Hollywood and like, which is kind of what Mike Epps did. Like, Mike Epps was pretty much saying, like, I don't, I didn't think I could make it, like I shouldn't actually be the person that made it. So I know if I made it, you can. But Cat Williams was pretty much telling people, like, y'all do a good job, y'all should be proud of y'all selves, congratulate y'all selves, and I'm gonna tell y'all y'all doing a good job and be proud of y'all selves. And and if I could do it, you could do it. And if they it was funny because both special was like really, really inspirational and really, really into um lifting up the spirits and things like that. And that's really what Cat Williams did. Of course, Cat Williams was extremely funny. Um, and like I say, he did talk about daddy for a little bit, and he talked about like different professions, what people was doing, different ethnicities, but he was mostly on some like, you know, if you believe you can do it, you could do it. Like, if you want to be me, you could you could be me. If you want to be a creative, you could be a creative, whatever you want to do, you could do it, just be your best at it and just keep going forward and don't let nobody tell you that you can't, because trust me, I'm telling you, you can't. So that was like really pretty much inspirational. Like I said, I'm not trying to discuss some of the stuff I'm a little behind on, so I don't fully remember entirely. So sorry. But um, I don't remember him saying nothing to make me be like, oh my gosh, you know, let me go ahead and and uh it it stood out. Probably if I rewatch it, it would. But yeah, but if I had to rate it, I might as well rate the upshots too. If I had to rate the upshots now from what I remember about it, this is so horrible. This is a horrible episode. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Anywho, if I had to rate the upshots, going back to them for just a second, I do think it's a really good watch. It's just that I watched it a little while ago and don't fully remember. Um, but if I had to rate it, I would definitely give it a 7 out of 10. It was a really good watch. Like if you already an upside shawls fan, I think it gave a nice close. I that I one thing I believe in, if you're gonna give me a show, give me a nice close. Any saga of any kind, saga series, give me a nice close. I don't care. Wrap it up with a bow so I can say, all right, that was that on that. And I feel like the Upshots did a good job at that. They made you you you could be at peace with everything, which I really like. Um, but back to Cat Williams. If I had to rate that, I would possibly also get that a seven out of ten, only because, like I said, one, I said it a second ago, and then two, I don't recall him saying something that made me be like, oh my gosh. You know, like I said, he talked about Diddy, and I do love that he did not spend his special on Diddy. It was not finally talked about Diddy. Like he talked about a lot of stuff. What would Cat Williams do? He talked about stuff in politics, he talked about stuff in the world, he talked about like his own journey and like people being proud of themselves and stuff like that, and then like telling people to go forth. So it was very inspirational, which is in my opinion, a little bit different than his especially. I've never I've been listening to Cal Williams do specials. My God, about almost 25 years. His first special was what? Yeah, 26 02, 03. So almost what 24, 23 years, almost 25 years. So for god, I'm old. My god. Anywho, um, I've I've been listening to this man do specials for over 20 years, so I've never heard him be this kind of like influential and inspirational, which I really did appreciate that he did on here. So um, if I had to rate Cat Williams' last report, I would probably get an eight out of ten, but I don't know if this is gonna be his last special. I don't know if he just said like just in case, because this man wants to run us in the war for no reason, or I don't know. But last not but not least, I'm on the program. We have Uncle Joe. Well, Tyler Perry presents, or Tyler, yeah, no, Tyler Perry presents, or Tyler Perry's. I don't know how he it changes. Tyler Perry presents or Tyler Perry's Uncle Joe's college road trip. I'm not gonna hold. You can find this on Netflix. Let me tell you where you can find everything real quick before I get into this. Like I said, sisters, you can find on Web Your Live TV is on demand. The upshow you can find on Netflix, Cat Williams, you can find on Netflix, Cat Williams Last Support, you can find on Netflix, and Tyler Perry's. Well, I'm just saying Uncle Joe's College Road Trip. You can also find on Netflix. I'm gonna say this. It is definitely rated R, and it needs to be rated lowercase X. I will say that for sure, for sure. Because um there's a lot of profanity, more than what you're probably used to. Um there's a lot of sex, well, I ain't gonna say it's a lot, sex, it is graphic sex when we get there, though. It is very graphic. Um, and then not only that, it does have a lot of historical value. I'm just say this. As a black person that I'm from the Midwest, I'm from Chicago, to be very specific, and it's actually where I uh reside at the moment. Um, I've lived in the South. I've lived in Arkansas and I lived in Georgia. So I've lived in the South for sure. And as a person that spent 10 years in the South, after growing up in the Midwest, in the North, in Chicago, to be very specific, that you know there's a bit of a difference. There are certain things as a black person that like people love to talk about Tyler Perry, uh, how you do wild stuff and this, that, and the third. Okay, I might have all Tyler Perry's Tyler Perry's wild things, but I will say this is one of the movies that I appreciate of Tyler Perry's in a very long time. I have not appreciated a Tyler Perry movie in a minute, if I'm being 100% honest. I think one of the last movies I truly appreciated about by Tyler Perry was either um probably a family that prays, because I think they came after I could do better by myself, whichever one came after, because I think they both came in oh nine, came out in 09. Bro, we in 2026. What you mean? I have not truly well, nope. I love Jazz Man Blues, but I feel like that's an anomaly. I need to see the manuscript of that movie, and I need to see who owned the IP of that movie. Okay, no this Tyler. But then Divorce in the Black came out, and I was like, Man, we can talk about some stuff. No this because there's I don't think there's really any Tyler Perry project I haven't seen. So I'm not one of the people that's like, oh, I'm talking to hate. No, I'm inspired by Tyler Perry. I love Tyler Perry. Tyler Perry. I've been watching this man for 26 years. So I'm I'm I have no shade at all when it comes to him. Nothing but all when it comes to him. Um, and there are things that I would do different. That's me, but that ain't got nothing to do with him, and I have to respect what he did and what he does and what he brings. And I appreciate him for that. So thank you. Um, but back to this film in particular. Like I said, I have not appreciated a Tyler Perry film outside of maybe a jazz man's boobs, outside of for sure jazz man's boobs, in almost 15 years. And I know actually that would be 17 years episode 9. Well, 16, 17. That's why I'm just gonna say 15 years, because I'm gonna give a little grace. This movie is where Uncle Joe, who is the brother to Medea, but the father to telepare character Brian, right? He's the father to him. So Brian has two kids. His daughter, who was the we don't get to that. Well, yes, I am. She was originally played, her name is Tiffany. She was the reason why her name is Tiffany is because she was played by Tiffany Evans, the girl that made Promise Ring with Sierra, way back in the day. Yeah, that's that's how long I've been watching Tyler Perry movies. Yeah. Her mama bust in and did that that song, like on the color purple, but she didn't do that exact song. Anyway, so and then they had a son. I think the son was BJ because he's Brian Jr. Cool. So, of course, Tiffany had already been to college. That's where she gets her shine comes from Boo. Because if you pay attention, that's when that's when Medea is dealing with Tiffany and she's acting out while in college. That's where you get boo and boo too, which also was kind of like him clapping back at uh what's that baby name? Chris Rock. Chris Rock was making jokes, and he was like, Oh, okay, you make jokes, I make money. I'm sorry. Never mind, except any. So fast forward to now, I was like, okay, well, the son's gonna finally go to college, BJ's finna go to college. And he, Brian's character, which is Tyler Perry's character, played by Tyler Perry, who was played by Tyler Perry, and when you see him, not no makeup, no nothing. And he's like, I think my son's out of, I don't want to say he thinks his son is out of touch with reality, but he thinks his son is slightly out of touch with reality and definitely disconnected from the culture. And it's like, I don't raise my son's, I don't want to say so, privilege, but I borderline raise this boy so privileged, privilege. He does not know he's black, he don't know he's in the south, and he don't know what it's like for black people, period, in this country, black people in the south, because of the way I have raised him. So now I need to, so now I need to kind of I need to kind of fix what I did, you know. I need to show him his connection to his his culture and things like that. So of course, Brian, who's a gent, uh, you know, he's a gentle parent. He's like, Medea, will you do it? Like he's trying to get people to do it or trying to get son because his son's taking out white folks. I think one of them's in the N word, probably, I don't know. But um he likes disconnected. So he sits up there and he's like, um, you know, I I need him to go on this college trip because he wanted to go to HBCU, right? Because he didn't see the point of Morehouse and he didn't see the point of Clark Atlanta, HBCUs, and things like that. He didn't see the point of that. So he actually he bought, I think the boy called a racist if my memory serves right, which is the boy. Boy, you I don't know what you raised. You raised the wigger. Okay. That you raise an epidemiology of a wigger. Anywho, so he's like, he needs to get connected with the culture. So Joe decides to take him. Because I think Medea was gonna take him and then couldn't. And then she was like, let Joe take him. Which I really appreciated this because it shows shine on Joe. Because people love to bag on Tyler Fair, like, oh, you wore a dress, you did okay, but so did Richard Pry. So did Jamie Foxx. So did what's that baby name? Who uh God dogged it. So did Martin Lawrence. Martin Lawrence wore a few of them. So did Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy, half the cast he came up with wore a dress. So we could some of y'all greatest comedians put on a dress that was not abnormal. And some we can start for another day because I ain't got time to go through the artist for two people. Anywho, back to my point. So I do like to see that they, you know, because like I said, they bag on Tyler Perry. Oh, he always be wearing a dress. But this time we get to see him and make up, and he's a man. Okay. All right. So, anywho, he decides to take him from if you know, well, if you know anything about the states, he has to go from Georgia, which is actually a lot of people don't know this, is actually southeast of the country. So a portion of it is actually East Coast. So, because it's Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana.
SPEAKER_00Am I right?
SPEAKER_01Yes. What's next to Louisiana? It gotta be is it Oklahoma going into Texas? Because if we do Oklahoma, Nevada, Texas, nope, Texas, Texas, we're Oklahoma, Texas, Nevada, California. There we go. I might be a little off, but so we're going from Georgia. I don't think they went into Florida, but if just to show you, like Georgia is like right here, then there's Florida. But if we're going straight, you would go mostly like this to get to California, which is like over here. So almost in a J. So or an L kinda. So you we going Georgia, which I need Florida, but Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, which I think they cut through Arkansas, but they ain't have to. They cut through Arkansas. You went up north for no reason, but I digress. Uh what'd I say? Mississippi, Louisiana. Um oh, it should be like Oklahoma going into Texas. From Texas, you go Nevada. No, Nevada, Arizona, California. Like that. I might be a little off. Y'all might have to check me. Anywho, I've kind of driven, I've driven through that, but baby, that was years ago, so try don't mm-mm. Anywho, so he takes him from pretty much Georgia to California to show him his culture and his history. So as he did does these things, like I said, you go from Georgia to Alabama. Now that really wasn't much in Alabama, but who girls playing? I don't even want to show you that. And he did, he was like, What's that? And it's like, cotton. It's cotton. Yeah. And that still exists. And I'm speaking as a person who knows people that picked cotton. I know people that picked cotton. I'm in my 30s. They picked cotton in the 80s and 90s. I've seen the cotton field with my own eyes. Just tell you what I know. People be talking about this far removed. No, it ain't. It's up the street if you go up there. That's like him. He went to Georgia and went on a state of two open. He was like, What's that? Cotton field. And he made him pick it. He said, pick the cotton. But to show him how part of a plant that is to pick, cause it is, it's hard to pull that cotton plant out of that, like pretty much dried bud that cut can cut you and does cut you. It's like ripping petals off of rolls, but worse. Because y'all said that's that's far away from us. Okay. Anywho, so as he progresses, he goes from Alabama to Mississippi. Now, like I said earlier in this episode, I am from Chicago, Illinois. I live in Chicago, In the North. When he took that baby to Mississippi and he sat in front of that creek under that mur in front of that murky, mur muddy water. I knew exactly what that creek was. Because once again, I'm from Chicago, Illinois. And he was like, What's the point of me being in front of this creek? Because he was taking pictures, pictures of him from somewhat of his history and his culture. Well, I mean I say culture, but definitely history, and that can help shape your culture. And he was like, Why you got me in front of this? That's why they pulled up Mattil Body Baby. But see, you don't even know who Mtel is. Because mind you, BJ O'Brien Jr. is a Gen Z. So he don't even know who MTL is. Because they don't teach that. I had to learn that in school. They had to teach Mattil. My mama taught me who that boy was, and then I went to school and had to learn who he was. That was part of my curriculum. To learn who he is. No, you won't know him. These babies don't know. I ain't never heard of an Emmett or a Till. Don't know what that is. They don't know what a Till is or an Emmett. What's that? I don't know that's a whole human being. And when he said, and that made that put tears in my eyes because in real life, and from my real life, my real experience, they exhumed his body at his 50-year mark. I was in the fifth grade, which means that this is after my mama taught me who M T was. I had to see it all across the news. And then a couple years later, I had to learn all about that boy. How well do you think my sleep pattern was as a kid? As somebody that was around about his age when I learned about him. I was 11 when I started learning about him. They made sure I knew who that boy was from 11 to 14. You're gonna know who this boy is. For three years straight, off and on, y'all teaching me about this boy and made sure he kept popping up. He was 14 when he died. When he lynched, when he was lynched. How well do you think my sleep was? It didn't matter that I was a girl, it mattered I was black. It was mad that he from Chicago like me. Okay. So then he takes him to a hotel. No, I I jumped the gun. I jumped the gun because you gotta go Alabama, Mississippi. So before, after they leave Georgia, they go into Alabama, they go to a um, I I lie, oh I'm so disrespectful. I said ain't nothing in Alabama. Oh my god, I forgot. So they go to the hotel and feel like everything used, what's going on in this room? He took a picture of him in the room.
SPEAKER_00So when he took a picture of him, oh my god, damn thing going on up here, thing used. We gotta leave by a certain time. It's weird.
SPEAKER_01He didn't know he was in Montgomery, Alabama. He didn't know he was in a hotel in which Martin King got shot. Well, he ain't die there, but I want to keep living. So they actually didn't die, they actually died in the hospital after they suffocated him. Let that be that on that. That's what they say. I don't know how true it is. They say they say the boy they no disrespect to Martin King, they say he didn't die by that gunshot wound. So I don't know. I'm gonna have to edit that out. I probably won't. Anywho, so now, like I said, back to back to Mississippi with Emmy Till. And he's learning these things, right? Because at first he wasn't, he wasn't knowing. He's like, why am I taking all these random pictures? But if you know anything as a black person, I'm not even gonna say just a black person. This is why I say this is a film I I feel like everybody should watch. Yes, it got the the ridiculousness of Uncle Joe. Yes, it got the crazy cousin, yes, it got the graphic sex scene, yes, it has all of these things, and yes, it's made by Tyler Perry. But one thing that he made sure to make a point in is the point of this film is to tell this history. People looked at sinners and got mad. Ryan Kugler had to use fiction and fantasy and make-believe to tell the truth. Tyler Perry had to do the same thing. I'm gonna tell y'all a hard truth, but if I tell you a hard truth and I don't and I don't serve up ridiculousness and craziness and goofiness and silliness, you're not gonna hear it. It's not gonna be palatable to you. I need to feed you this hard truth, but I gotta give you this bullshit too. And that's just the best way to put it. Tyler Perry gave a hard truth in a film, but he knew if he would have given just a raw hard truth, that wouldn't have made it to Netflix. Netflix would have turned that down. Netflix would have said, nah, man, get rid of that. We're not putting that up there. No, no, Tyler Perry is a billionaire. Netflix probably is a trillionaire. To my point, like what Tyler Perry ain't got enough to tell them Negroes nothing, no disrespect to Tyler. He just don't. He can have some say, but if if he wouldn't have put all that ridiculousness that he put in that field, he wouldn't have been able to get his message across. And the point was, let me get the message across. Anywho, back to so, like I said, so you go from Mississippi to Louisiana, and he likes showing him all these places, right? And he ended up going to a whorehouse or whatever. And of course, I was looking for Uncle Joe and just you know, craziness. Um, but just the scene that Miss Pat and Jessia, and who are female comedians, by the way. Um, I think Jess Nisha's from Chicago. I don't want to be playing on somebody if she is shout out to you, sis. Um, and then Miss Pat has the Miss Pat show on um BT Plus, which I talked about in the previous episode, actually. So once again, shout out to you as well, sis. Anywho, so they like, you know, had a little scene, and that is like the graphic set scene. So if you like not into it, just just skip. And then this is where he meets the homegirl from um Beauty in the Black, which is also gonna be found on Netflix and finna come back out, actually. So he gets with her, he ended up like, I think she ended up giving him a hit eventually, but she was on the run. So with her on the run, from these people that end up like taking her and stuff like that. And like, even the boy was so slow, he had to use the bathroom. Before they ended up meeting her, he had to use the bathroom, and he don't know nothing about sundown towns, and and there are some people that still don't know about sundown towns because growing up, I never knew what a sundown town was. When I moved to the south, guess what I learned about sundown towns. There's so many in the Midwest, by the way. So you you ain't safe nowhere in this country. All the states got sundown towns, boo. Okay, at least one. Okay. Anywho, most of them anyway. Um, but he didn't know where the sundown town was, and the baby decided to use the bathroom, which like gives like a matrix fight scene, it's kind of crazy. Um and he ended up going to the bathroom, not only in a sundown town, but in a town where the biker gang clearly had the confederate flag, which he was not a warning for him, and then all these white people, and clearly MAGA-esque, you know, get up personas, embodiment, you know, the whole the whole nine. And he was like, I just gotta go to the bathroom, and it's like you you finna get us killed, you finna get us lynched. Because y'all brought that back in 2025. That's crazy. Anyway, so he doesn't understand that. His granddad teaches him that, and then of course, like I say, he ended up going to the whorehouse, and by hanging out with her and talking to her, he ends up realizing she ends up educating him on like this is this, this is that, this is this. And he was like, he was in front of historical libraries, he, like I said, he was in the um hotel room where Martin Luther King was shot. He was in front of the creek where Emmy Tilde's body was pulled up. He was in front of uh a cotton plant. Uh, well, I ain't gonna necessarily plantation, but a cotton field. Like he was at all these historical places that speaks to the history of a portion. I'm not gonna say the history of black people in this country, a portion of the history of black people in this country. Because I'm kind of tired of the narrative of that's all our history is that we were slaves. Like, we was also other stuff too. So, but I digress. And he just didn't, he was just unaware because he was so detached from the culture, because his dad wants to give him a life of luxury to the point where it was like, and I feel like sometimes black people do this. There's nothing wrong with giving your children a life of luxury, but they still need to know that when they walk out your door, they they they don't see luxury when they see your kid. They don't, they just don't, and your kid need to be aware of that because if they are not, they can die, especially a black child. Like that's life or death. That boy really went into a sundown town, he really went into a bar, pulled of pretty much the clan, and could have lost his life, could have got his granddaddy killed. Like, you could have done all of that because you don't know that when you walk out the door, you're not just BJ, you don't get that luxury, and that's the that's the thing that Tyler Perry was trying to teach. I feel like in this film, that we can't be so far removed from history that's only a few decades old, bro.
SPEAKER_00Like, Barton Luther King died in the 60s. There are people, people that are still alive. His kids are still alive, his homeboy just died. His homeboy, his right-hand man that was with him, just got put in the ground a little over a week ago.
SPEAKER_01So I'm just saying, like, it's not like what he did happened 200 years ago, 100 years ago. They've they put them photos in black and white for you to make you think Emmett Till died months before my father, the person who left Testico I came out of.
SPEAKER_00Literally, months before. Like it's a lot of stuff we could talk about that's only 50 years old, 60 years old. That's not a long time. Donald, the the felon with all the the man with the with the with the dozens of felons that's in the White House is older than what I'm talking about. And y'all kept voting him in office.
SPEAKER_01Like I said, it's been probably about 15 years since I truly appreciated a Tyler Pedro. Outside of uh God dogging it, Jazz Man Blues, Six Triple Aid. I did enjoy. I think it was cool. But outside of maybe like them two, I love it because truly he is like six triple blades talked about you know some women, like almost like hidden figures. It's not like a you know, but outside of maybe like that, like that what he because he was he tried to drive a point. Ain't no try, he did drive a point. And if you get off the I don't like Tyler Perry, he do all this weird stuff, this scene, why have this movie raunchy to a certain degree? Tyler Perry had to make this film like them this to get it out. Just like how I know some people to be mad. I said it earlier in the episode, but I'm gonna say it again, just like how kind of Ryan Kugel had to use fantasy, fiction, and make-believe to tell a true story and get out a hard truth. Because if you would have taken them elements out that film, if you would have taken them out, it wouldn't, the film would have been made, babe. They would have looked at that screenplay, who would have produced it? And I'm not taking nothing from Ryan Kugler and his ability, and I'm not taking nothing from Tyler Fray and his ability, but y'all still at the end of the day had to turn to some white human being and say, I'm gonna get this black story out. So there had to be a level of fiction for them to be comfortable with to say this is fantasy. Because if you put too much truth, they want to tell you you're delusional, they won't tell you you're crazy, they will tell you angry, they will tell you this, that, and the third, but they don't want to tell you. Well, god dog, if that's if there's this much similarity and what these two stories is talking about, they just want to they just use a different tactic and a different approach to get the story out. Maybe it might be something to this story.
SPEAKER_00Just maybe it's a possibility.
SPEAKER_01Anywho, I'm done with that. I'm I'm I'm done with that. This this episode not gone long enough between sisters kind of prepared. You really got me on one this goddamn episode between well, you know, sisters. That's Courtney mostly. Well, no, Tyler Fairy, season five. Anywho, thank you so much. This is the Anne Reviews. This is going on long enough. Like I said, um on uh this week's program on this episode's program. We talked about Sister Season 10, episode 4 through 6. The Upshots, which was the final season, part seven. We talked about Cat Williams, the last reports, and Uncle Joe's college road trip. Like I said, sisters can be found pretty much on like wherever your live table is or anything on demand unless you want to rent it or something. Um, or Brian, I don't know, that should be, it's just child. Um, and then the Upshots Cat Williams Last Report, as well as Uncle Joe's College Trip, can all be found on Netflix. Once again, I have been Angelina Maria. Thank you so much for hanging out with me. And this has been Anne McViews. Hey bye.
