Nandi K
Welcome back to Right Quick.

00:09.50
Vance 😈
A bite-sized pop culture conversation with your favorite queer, unfriendly Black hotties.

00:14.81
Nandi K
Today we're unfriendly because Black romance movies ain't very romantic.
I'm Nandi K.

00:23.96
Vance 😈
And I'm Vance Gowe, and please say that again.

00:27.32
Nandi K
Yeah, that was off the dome because my God. woof

00:30.68
Vance 😈
Say it again, because I...

00:31.64
Nandi K
Are we not? Yeah, Black romance movies ain't really romantic.

00:35.79
Vance 😈
I was struggling. I said this was harder than finding the three top Black movies. Because, like, that was so many options.

00:41.50
Nandi K
And we had five.

00:42.30
Vance 😈
That's why it was hard.

00:42.54
Nandi K
Yeah, we had five. Yeah.

00:44.63
Vance 😈
This... I mean, listen. if If we wrong, please correct us. um I checked in online, and I did get some... I got a couple of good ah feedback for online.

00:53.11
Nandi K
Sure, yeah, I saw that you, I saw you was sourcing feedback. I eyes emojis that.

00:56.98
Vance 😈
But... ah You said eye emoji?

00:59.77
Nandi K
I sent an eye emoji reaction to that story. I said, oh, you sourcing, oh.

01:04.79
Vance 😈
No, I wanted to see what the girls are saying because, like, when you say romance, like, what are we even talking about, like, in this context?

01:07.35
Nandi K
Yeah, of course.

01:11.61
Nandi K
That's crazy that we even have to be like, what are we even talking about though when it comes to like, that's crazy that that's what we have to like.

01:20.82
Vance 😈
ah Yeah. So so, what are we talking about today? Today...

01:24.63
Nandi K
Yeah, so, yeah, we're talking about our favorite Black romance movies because, you know, love is in the air and stuff.

01:35.00
Vance 😈
And this is a ranking episode. We're only doing top three because I barely got three.

01:43.58
Nandi K
I had three. I just want to say for the Black cinema episode, I narrowed down from like a list of 20.

01:50.68
Vance 😈
Yeah, no, I.

01:50.90
Nandi K
This I narrowed down from a list of eight. Eight was my biggest list.

01:56.09
Vance 😈
That's true. That's still good. i would also say may, I feel like bro Black romance, like rom-coms might be a blind spot for me. Cause I did not feel like I had like the encyclopedia knowledge and I like, I had to rewatch, um, Brown sugar and, uh, what's a Love Jones.

02:11.53
Nandi K
Mm-hmm. Sure. Yeah.

02:15.40
Vance 😈
Uh, because I feel like you, not that they're on my list. They didn't make it, but, uh, I just feel like they come up in this conversation.

02:22.74
Nandi K
Yeah, they come up all the time. Yeah.

02:24.69
Vance 😈
And and I'm watching them like, why do these movies come up? Like, Brown Sugar, maybe, but Love Jones?

02:34.52
Nandi K
You know... Straight people. I just, I think like, I don't think a lot of stuff is romantic that some like cis hetero people think is romantic.

02:51.83
Vance 😈
I think it's like, it's like rom-coms are already like, especially 90s, 2000s, or, you know, like rom-coms of a different era already on some other stuff.

02:58.10
Nandi K
Right.

03:01.19
Vance 😈
um Add in Black people, like Love Jones, he literally stole this lady's address and phone number and went to her home. And then her friend was like, she got a man and he was like, oh, so he might shoot me. And and then jump cut to him knocking on the door. I did laugh out loud, but I also was like,

03:19.42
Nandi K
Call the police.

03:21.02
Vance 😈
Call the law!

03:22.30
Nandi K
Lock him up. Lock him up.

03:24.89
Vance 😈
And because it was Loren State, she was giggling and kiki and a ha-ha. And I'm like, okay, but he wasn't hot. Like, you didn't think he was attractive.

03:33.88
Nandi K
Right, and and to his credit, it was Nia Long.

03:41.43
Vance 😈
I said that several times in my recap that I think, yeah, I understand. um Reciting a poem in front of a room full of people about Nia Long, even though you're not good at poetry.

03:54.36
Nandi K
Man, let me tell you, that's a huge turn off for me. Nothing turns me off more than spoken word.

03:58.33
Vance 😈
You said off.

04:00.70
Nandi K
Like, I cannot tell you my coochie *evaporation sounds* dries up.

04:01.36
Vance 😈
It's trash. I call it nigga. What do I call it? Nigga soliloquies, Nigga sonnets. I hate nigga.

04:10.90
Nandi K
Bye. You know what it is?

04:11.96
Vance 😈
I hate Nigga sonnets.

04:12.81
Nandi K
Like when I was growing up, I was friends with some poets and they were really good, like really, really good. And then when I graduated from high school, I would go to like poetry nights that they would be at and then I started seeing that everybody wasn't that level.

04:29.72
Vance 😈
Other people. No, no.

04:32.95
Nandi K
And then I dated like a hotep lesbian bitch and she was like in strange competition with me, but she was doing spoken word and it wasn't good.

04:36.04
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-mm. And it's always the worst person you ever met talking about love.

04:49.08
Nandi K
She was pretty bad. She was a compulsive liar. Yeah.

04:51.80
Vance 😈
Yeah, and it's like, you suck.

04:52.63
Nandi K
It was crazy. Yeah.

04:54.65
Vance 😈
I co-produced an open mic for four years. And it was mixed arts. It was everything. But if I never hear another poem. before I die, it would not be too soon, too late.

05:05.82
Nandi K
I wake up in the morning.

05:06.54
Vance 😈
it was just, right, sun on my skin.

05:07.98
Nandi K
you know, I just, ah please spare me, spare me.

05:13.47
Nandi K
Anyways, let's not talk about what doesn't turn us on. ah But do we want to talk about like what constitutes a Black romance movie?

05:11.21
Vance 😈
Yeah. yeah yeah Yeah, so, so I think it needs to be, Black people need to be present.

05:23.56
Nandi K
Yeah.

05:31.22
Nandi K
Sure. Okay. Present! Whoa. This got a lot looser than the last ones.

05:36.73
Vance 😈
Inside of the movie no so I put I put that it needs to be about love and our relationships right which I think that kind of opens it up because like it doesn't have to be a rom-com per se. I think the idea of like and I mean I think this is us talking right because like

05:44.66
Nandi K
Sure.

05:50.78
Nandi K
Mm-hmm.

05:55.16
Vance 😈
Is Color Purple the most romantic thing? It's not at all. But is it about like relationships and love and how love can transcend like pain and keep you alive? It sure is. So I don't have Color Purple on my list again, but

Nandi K
*disaproving sigh*

Vance
I don't fuck off. Uh, um But yeah, so those things. Do you have anything to add just what constitutes? Again, that's loose. It's loose on purpose.

06:25.82
Nandi K
No, that seems like that seems right. It's about... Ii did make it... I did kind of make mine centered around like romantic relationships since like most of these are...

06:35.38
Vance 😈
That's fine.

06:38.85
Nandi K
There's not any like really any queer stories out there. So like these are all cis hetero.

06:43.82
Vance 😈
Hmm.

06:46.22
Nandi K
And so like what I would expect is not what I expect from cis heteros. And so... Yeah, I'm pretty excited that we have been tasked with choosing our three favorite Black romance movies.

07:03.27
Vance 😈
All right. So who's going first?

07:06.55
Nandi K
I can go first with number three.

07:07.99
Vance 😈
All right. Number three, who you got?

07:09.11
Nandi K
okay My number three favorite Black romance movie is Deliver Us from Eva.

07:18.37
Vance 😈
Oh, nice.

07:18.71
Nandi K
I love her. I'm a huge Gabrielle Union fan. It's a 2003 rom-com starring LL Cool J and Gabrielle Union revolving around LL Cool J's character being paid to date Eva AKA Gabrielle Union because she is like the mean sister, she has a bunch of fine ass sisters Essence Atkins

07:42.23
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm. Oh, they fine.
Nandi K
uh Mel Jackson everybody fine is also in this movie. It's also considered a telling of the Taming of the Shrew by Shakespeare which is like super fun. You know how they do um but yeah Deliver Us from Eva i I loved Gabrielle Union in her mean girl era when she was just like mean and fine yeah

08:05.05
Vance 😈
Just dressing niggas down.

Nandi K
I loved her era and she was super fine in that and I love how like uh oh cool J like wears her down and like melts her down all just so they can get this they all just want to date the sisters which is also so funny to me I love it

08:23.67
Vance 😈
Right No It's ah I watched it last year It's a fave of mine It's just funny Yeah Evil Eva Evil Gabrielle is great. Yeah That's a good one
08:35.70
Nandi K
Yeah. All right. What you got?

Vance
Okay I chose From my number three I went I went light I said what's a movie That's lacking misery. So I chose Last Holiday With our fave Queen Latifah. L L Cool J. Right? So he's a love interest. So yeah, ah it's about Georgia who leads a life full of unfulfilled desires. Basically, she finds out she got a terminal illness and she's just like, yo, I got a bucket list. I'm about to do all this shit. You know, Quinn Latifah is a noted fineologist. She keep a fine man on her arm in every movie, only in the movies.

09:07.50
Nandi K
Mm-hmm. My God.

09:11.98
Vance 😈
And um she bags LL Cool J and I believe she don't die at the end. But like, yeah, I was just like, so yeah.

09:17.46
Nandi K
She does not die at the end. It's great. That's such a good one. It's a sleeper banger too because I feel like a lot of people I saw over the past year were like hadn't seen that one.

09:29.82
Vance 😈
It's good, but again, Queen Latifah can't do no wrong to me. like I mean, I'm sure she'll prove us wrong, but you got me.

09:33.53
Nandi K
She can't.

09:36.18
Vance 😈
Until otherwise proven, Queen Latifah is like my GOAT. I love her.

09:40.50
Nandi K
Yeah, love, love, love. ah That's a great choice. Well, that was really, really good. All right, my number two choice, all right, is Carmen Jones.

09:54.72
Nandi K
Carmen Jones is actually a 1954 American musical featuring Harry Belafonte and Dorothy Dantridge.

10:03.83
Vance 😈
Okay, the old one.

10:03.94
Nandi K
Also, um Pearl Bailey is in it.

10:06.00
Vance 😈
Mm-hmm.

10:08.19
Nandi K
It's a telling of Carmen. So the opera Carmen is like a Black version of this.

10:14.73
Nandi K
It's set during World War II and it focuses on Carmen Jones, ah Dorothy Dandridge's character, a shameless eviction who works in a parachute factory. She gets arrested for fighting with a co-worker and then she has to go to jail. It's like a military story. So like the parachute factory, she works for the military. Anyway, the person who has to take her to jail is Harry Belafonte's fine ass. They fall in love even though he already got a fiance. Anyway, Harry Belafonte definitely dies at the end. Like, it's not a good story. Also, he kills Dorothy Dandridge, too, because he's jealous.

10:57.27
Vance 😈
What?

10:58.86
Nandi K
Oh, Joe is also jealous, even though he was the one.

10:59.35
Vance 😈
Oh

11:03.02
Nandi K
Anyways, it's pretty sad. But Dorothy Dandridge was nominated for an Oscar for this film. It was the first Black woman ever nominated for Lee actress in a film. And I recently read her autobiography. I mean, not autobiography, her biography. And I just love Dorothy Dandridge. She went through a lot. She went through a lot filming this movie, but her and Harry Belafonte together, baby, that is sex on sex when they be, ooh, sexy Black people loving each other.

11:42.17
Vance 😈
Is it a musical? Are they s singing?

11:44.20
Nandi K
It's a musical, but it's not them singing, no. Their voices are dubbed by real opera singers.

11:46.94
Vance 😈
OK. OK. How do we watch it?

11:51.77
Nandi K
You can buy it, I think. I saw it on Prime. But yeah, you can watch Carmen Jones like on Prime. It looks like it's on Prime, Apple TV, YouTube TV.

12:04.05
Vance 😈
OK, because haven't seen it.

12:09.43
Nandi K
Yeah, it's really good.

12:09.82
Vance 😈
All right, I need to check that out.

12:10.91
Nandi K
It used to come on BET all the time when I was growing up.

12:13.85
Vance 😈
I remember the hip opera, which was the Beyonce one, right?

12:17.05
Nandi K
Yes, this is...

12:17.82
Vance 😈
Yeah, that's one I remember. All

12:19.74
Nandi K
No, no, no, no. don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna go.

12:27.06
Vance 😈
right, number two.

Nandi K
What's your number two?

12:29.82
Vance 😈
All right, drum roll. My number two is a little movie called Deliver Us From Eva.

12:37.32
Nandi K
Oh!? it's your number two.

12:37.72
Vance 😈
Yeah, it was my number two.

12:39.08
Nandi K
good. Yeah.

12:40.12
Vance 😈
So, I mean, you already said all the things. So, yeah, that was my number two. um Yeah, I took climbing, I think.

12:44.98
Nandi K
so good

12:45.64
Vance 😈
But I'm glad that we chose, that we made, we got the same one on the list.

12:46.36
Nandi K
yeah Yeah, what did what's your favorite parts about it? Mm-hmm.

12:51.70
Vance 😈
I just think it's... I like the relationships with the sisters. um Like you said, I think it's very funny that the the men, they're really incompetent, but they love their their partners. And I feel like old school rom-coms is very, like, especially the white, like, from the white American lens or whatever, they hate their wives. So the fact that they love their wives, their girlfriends and wives so much that they're like, we need to hire LL Cool J to get rid of the sister is very funny.

13:12.50
Nandi K
They do.

13:20.42
Vance 😈
So yeah, the whole thing. It's just a bunch of dummies trying to be with their girls and be happy. And I'm like, this is delightful. Yeah, it's funny.

13:27.86
Nandi K
It is delightful. It's like kind of harmless, like fun almost.

13:31.58
Vance 😈
Yeah. like they theyre Them being dumb is really the worst part. But otherwise, it's like, yeah, this is nice. And I think

13:38.68
Nandi K
Yeah, that's, yeah.

13:40.48
Vance 😈
Eva knows that they're trying to play her the whole time, and she ends up liking the Nigga anyway, so it don't even matter at some point. Like, it's just like... Yeah.

13:47.54
Nandi K
Yeah, and then it worked out.

13:49.75
Vance 😈
Yeah

13:50.07
Nandi K
So it's very cute and sweet.

13:50.55
Vance 😈
No.

13:52.92
Nandi K

13:53.40
Vance 😈
All right. All right. What you got?

No, it's okay. So it's 1998 American rom-com adapted from Terry McMillan's best-selling 1996 novel of the same title, which the book is also great. We had it in my house. Mind you, they made the movie so fast. Like they said, baby, this is a movie immediately. It stars Angela Bassett, Taye Diggs, Whoopi Goldberg, and Regina King.

15:35.38
Vance 😈
Yeah. Did we talk about that on this podcast before that that movie?

15:39.42
Nandi K
No.

15:40.36
Vance 😈
Because was it like he...

15:41.30
Nandi K
We mentioned it because like we were talking about Taye Diggs on the Black Cinema, I think.

15:41.54
Vance 😈
um

15:46.00
Vance 😈
up in real life he wasn't the man gay eventually like yeah the Jamaican man scammer scammers

15:50.42
Nandi K
Oh, yeah Yeah. And they was on Oprah. Child. Child. You're number one.

Vance
Alright! Number number one for me. Alright the Best Man

16:05.91
Nandi K
Hey, Redemption!

16:07.45
Vance 😈
Yeah, so 1999, the synopsis is just before his best friend's wedding, the life of a Chicago writer becomes crazy when his best friend guesses that his new book story is based on his bride's reverent past. Um I don't even like that they put that in there. I think it's just better that he wrote a messy book telling all his friends business, and they all read the book and knew about it, and he showed up and was, you know,

16:31.38
Nandi K
Wanted to fight

16:32.50
Vance 😈
Literally got knocked between the washer and the dryer because he deserved it. um Starring Taye Diggs, Nia Long, Morris Chestnut, Harold Perrineau, Terrence Howard, Sanaa Lathan, Monica Calhoun, Melissa DeSouza, everybody.

16:45.46
Nandi K
Hesus oh

16:47.63
Vance 😈
Regina Hall, gotta to say her. um Beautiful cast, I will say.

16:51.58
Nandi K
Goddamn. All those fine people are in that cast?

16:54.01
Vance 😈
Right, together.

16:55.11
Nandi K
That's not fair. Regina Hall plays the stripper!

16:58.31
Vance 😈
Yep, yep. The stripper, Candy. Yeah.

17:01.11
Nandi K
I love her.

17:01.59
Vance 😈
Yeah. Yeah.

17:02.71
Nandi K
You know she's my birthday twin.

17:04.57
Vance 😈
No, I didn't, but I love me.

17:05.40
Nandi K
We have the same birthday. I'm obsessed with her.

17:06.97
Vance 😈
Love Regina.

17:08.00
Nandi K
I'm like, I love you, boo.

17:08.34
Vance 😈
She, she's so funny.

17:09.60
Nandi K
Let's get together.

17:10.62
Vance 😈
So yeah, I mean, we all know the plot. Um, I think that, um, it ain't really ah super romantic. Like the, the people that got the most chemistry is, uh, him and Nia Long, which like they always do apparently, and he ain't even supposed to be with her, which is trash.

Nandi K
No.

Vance
But anyway, um Best Man, I said it before on this podcast, I think it has the best, like, as far as, like, it's not even a trilogy because there's two movies in a series, but I think it just has the best, like, no skips, you know, um watching this beautiful cast grow and evolve, the characters grow and evolve. At the end of the day, it is about the love of the friends that they had, like the friend group, if you will.

17:52.09
Nandi K
Yeah, for sure. Yeah.

17:53.56
Vance 😈
Um, there is romance in the series. And like, you know, again, because you see so much of it, you see them go through a lot of stuff.

17:58.42
Nandi K
Yeah.

18:01.32
Vance 😈
But anyway, Best Man is...

18:01.59
Nandi K
Okay Yeah, it's like what does her love look like up close, right? Like if you see love every day, you know, love every day isn't always like getting flowers and like, yeah, I do agree that.

18:11.90
Vance 😈
Neat.

18:16.44
Nandi K
First of all, I would probably say, like, the best man contains, like, that IP is, like, all the best Black actors that we have, like, of that generation, right?

18:29.86
Nandi K
So, like, they're younger than, like, the Angela Bassets and Denzels, right?

18:29.93
Vance 😈
Mm hmm. Mm

18:35.99
Nandi K
So they're, like, the gen the Gen X, I guess.

18:36.61
Vance 😈
hmm.

18:38.43
Nandi K
So, like, those are, like, our Gen X, like,

18:38.46
Vance 😈
Right. then noon Yeah.

18:42.14
Nandi K
Black stars and they're elite and I think one thing that makes the best man so good is like how talented these actors are like you think there are these characters you're not like everyone is a good actor every single person there is a great actor no one sucks

18:54.13
Vance 😈
Right.

18:56.73
Vance 😈
Right. Yeah, there ain't no weak links.

19:00.85
Nandi K
Um so I really love that too come on redemption the best man on your list where it should be amen okay I got some honorable mentions while we wrap up now these might be controversial. ,I matter of fact I know they are my first honorable mention, Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married

19:01.08
Vance 😈
Yeah.

19:05.27
Vance 😈
ah Shut up.

19:09.53
Vance 😈
All right. Yes.

19:24.28
Nandi K
I would almost argue that that and Diary of a Mad Black Woman are his best films. But Why Did I Get Married is like, ah it's a masterpiece.

23:11.13
Aaron Rand Freeman
*Niggles*

23:12.07
Vance 😈
Low drama. Artsy. ah it has It has Love Jones in his DNA. But um I see your face. This is not a visual media, but...

23:19.00
Nandi K
I just don't think the writing is like very good in The Photograph. like Is it a story about love? is it a story like what happened with her mama? Like it was I feel like this writing was like very unfocused and the ending was like really unsatisfying.

23:36.51
Vance 😈
For sure.

23:36.60
Nandi K
They like met at the Kendrick concert.

23:36.86
