SEATED

WATCH ON YOUTUBE Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. are pulling up a seat in the Kick-It Lounge for educator, brand founder, content creator, and host of the Keepin' It A Bean podcast, Marquise Davon! After chopping it up to get the scoop on Marquise's personal film taste, the trio locks in for a review of Bassam Tariq's YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER starring Mahershala Ali. The crew unpacks the film's intense collision of faith, fatherhood, and grief through the Black gaze, dissecting Ali's powerhouse performance as a devout hitman fighting to protect his family after an unthinkable tragedy. Tune in for their unfiltered verdict: does this poignant search for grace and redemption earn an enthusiastic "Seated," settle into a "Stream It," or land as a flat "Skip It?" Over in the Fresh Out segment, Ray breaks down the latest weekend box office receipts, taking the temperature on Street Fighter, You Can See Everything, Whalefall, Sense and Sensibility, Crawlers, and Trust Me, I'm A Doctor. To close the show, Tre'vell and Marquise go head-to-head in a spirited "Canon Cousin: Heavy Hearts" edition of the Black Cinema Games, spotlighting five Black-led theatrical films where a leading man must navigate the devastating loss of his wife.   JOIN THE SEATED MOVIE CLUB https://www.seatedshow.com/join   00:00:00 - Intro 00:01:32 - Kick-It Lounge with Marquise Davon of Keepin' It A Bean Podcast (https://www.marquisedavon.com/keepin-it-a-bean) and This American Negro (https://marquisedavon.substack.com/) 00:09:11 - Fresh Out Intro 00:10:18 - Fresh Out: Street Fighter 00:12:51 - Fresh Out: You Can See Everything 00:14:52 - Fresh Out: Whalefall 00:16:01 - Fresh Out: Sense and Sensibility  00:17:23 - Fresh Out: Crawlers  00:18:19 - Fresh Out: Trust Me, I'm a Doctor  00:19:31 - Black Dolla Holla: The People's Pace (Offer Code: SEATED) 00:20:41 - Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother Spoiler-Free Chat 00:22:00 - Give The Director Some: Bassam Tariq 00:36:26 - Seated, Skip It, Stream It Verdict  00:38:16 - Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother Spoiler-Filled Review 01:09:11 - Rotten Tomatoes Critic Score, Letterboxd Rating 01:10:06 - Black Critic Spotlight: Odie Henderson, The Boston Globe 01:12:19 - Black Dolla Holla: Reparations Club (Offer Code: SEATED15)  01:13:25 - Black Cinema Games: Heavy Hearts (Canon Cousins)   CONNECT Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seatedshow, Website: https://www.seatedshow.com Email: [email protected]   CREDITS Hosts: Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr.  Produced by: Slayzhon and FiftyLeven Media Editor: Ray Love Jr. Theme Music: Buckroll Animation: Agung Adhi Location Partner: The WalkGood Yard ( @WalkGoodLA ) Creative Consultant: Jade Fox ( ⁨@iamjadefox⁩  ) Publicity: House of Heralds   JOIN THE SEATED MOVIE CLUB https://www.seatedshow.com/join
