Love Jones: A 90s Love Story (or Toxic Relationship?)

In this episode of They Reminisce Over You, we're having a conversation about Love Jones, Theodore Witcher's iconic1997 Black rom-com that became a cultural classic. We'll be diving into the film's most memorable moments, standout supporting characters and dig into whether Nina and Darius were ever really Mr./Mrs. Right or Mr./Mrs. Right Now.

We also get into our favorite scenes, our favorite songs from the soundtrack, discuss how our feelings on the movie have/haven't changed over the years, and answer the biggest question that we had: would Nina and Darius still be together today?
