PILLION Movie Review + SENTIMENTAL VALUE | SEATED Podcast | Ep. 25

Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. are logging off the apps and mounting up for this week's review of A24's freaky-deaky new "DomCom," PILLION.

The film is a tickling exploration of queer power dynamics, pulling back the curtain on kink culture while tackling the messy reality of navigating a "discreet" lifestyle in the modern dating world.

Ray and Tre'vell bring their safe words to the mic as they unpack their complicated reaction to this wildly provocative, boundary-pushing comedy. Tune in for their verdict: is this R-rated trip a "Seated," "Stream It," or a "Skip It?"

Plus, the hosts play a special "Screen-To-Page" edition of the Black Cinema Games, highlighting Black movies adapted from books. Finally, they close the show with Good Vibes Only, sharing what's bringing them joy this week.
