This week on Shit Black Girls Watch, we’re diving into the emotional, layered, and beautifully told film One Battle After Another. A story about grief, family, and the weight of unspoken trauma, this film had us feeling everything, and of course, we had to talk about it.


If you’ve seen One Battle After Another or just love a deep, layered film that doesn’t play to the mainstream, pull up. We’re unpacking it all!

What do B.A.P.S., Life, and Girls Trip all have in common? Black duos, chaotic energy, and jokes that still hit decades later. In this episode, we’re diving into the world of Black buddy comedies. The ones that gave us iconic friendships, unforgettable one-liners, and a whole lotta heart.


We talk about how these films did more than make us laugh; they gave us chemistry, culture, and characters we actually saw ourselves in.

Let’s talk about the Black Best Friend troupe. You know her, loud and loyal, always available, never has her own storyline, and somehow exists solely to hype up the white/main character’s chaos.


In this episode, we’re unpacking the tired-ass trope that Hollywood just won’t let go of. Why can’t we be the main character and have depth?
