This week on Once Upon a Time in Music, EL and Cheryl Poizon are back with full “Red Bull energy” and ready to talk music, movies, and a little bit of everything in between. The episode opens with movie flashbacks—from Interview with a Vampire to Do the Right Thing—before diving into a hilarious round of Kiss, Marry, Kill featuring Michelle Obama, Kiki Palmer, Al Pacino, Macy Gray and more.


Then it’s tournament time. L and Cheryl break down the 90s R&B Group Bracket, matching up legends like New Edition, Mint Condition, Silk, Guy, Jodeci, 112, BBD, and Jagged Edge to figure out who truly reigns supreme. Debate, nostalgia, and strong opinions come with no apologies.
