Summary
Welcome to Recap Kickback where we chop it up about black entertainment news and discuss all of our favorite movies and shows. This week on Recap Kickback, Chappell and Mari kick things off with Black entertainment news before diving into a full discussion of Is God Is - the genre-bending revenge story that had us asking questions, unpacking themes, and trying to process everything we just watched. To start the episode, we get into some Black entertainment news courtesy of Blex Media. We discuss Drake's 3 new albums, react to the latest BET Award nominations, and talk about updates on Last Friday. We also discuss news surrounding the upcoming A Different World sequel and Issa Rae’s newest venture, an Insecure rewatch podcast that revisits one of television’s most beloved modern series. After the news, we transition into a full spoiler discussion of Is God Is directed by Aleshea Harris. #recapkickback #IsGodIs #MovieReview #BlackEntertainment #Drake #iceman #2026BetAwards #LastFriday #AdifferentWorld #karaYoung #sterlingkbrown #vivicaAfox #janelleMonae #MalloriJohnson Subscribe to the podcast here: RecapKickback.com/Subscribe Follow Chappell on social media - @RecapKickback Follow Mari on Bluesky - MariTalks2Much.bsky.social Get your very own custom cup created by Mari here: https://maricrafts2much.bigcartel.com/ Recap Kickback is also partnering with “Bet On Black” Gia’s substack newsletter about Blackness in Reality TV! - check it out here: https://betonblack.substack.com/ A special thank you to Leaf Vxllage for our intro song, "Wall Maria Learn more about your ad choices.
