BOO YOW! 👸🏾👸🏾
On today's episode, we look back to another 90s Black Movie Classic – B.A.P.S. (1997) directed by Robert Townsend and starring Halle Berry, Natalie Desselle-Reid, and Martin Landau. In this film, Nisi (Berry) and Mickey (Desselle-Reid) make the big jump from Atlanta to L.A. and attempt to make their dreams come true but get caught up in a scam involving an aging multi-millionaire and his sinister nephew.
B.A.P.S. is iconic for few reasons but how does it hold up in 2025? We try to get to the bottom of some alleged script changes, talk about Black girl glamour, and plead for Halle Berry to take more comedic roles!
Our recommendations: Disorderlies (1987), Romy and MIchelle's High School Reunion (1997), Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar (2021)
