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.
From the over-the-top glam of B.A.P.S. to the messy sisterhood of Girls Trip, we’re breaking down how these stories shaped the genre and why Hollywood needs to stop acting like we don’t do comedy just as well, or if not better.
