The One About Fresh

"It's about giving. Giving yourself over to somebody. Becoming one with somebody else, forever. And that's... That's a beautiful thing. That's surrender. That's love." This 2022 horror comedy thriller stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Sebastian Stan, Jojo Gibbs, Andrea Bang, Dayo Okeniyi, and Charlotte Le Bon. The dating pool is trash, but this movie had us rethinking dating all together. Pour up and press play as Kayla and Ki recollect and analyze Fresh (2022) directed by Mimi Cave.

The One About Waiting to Exhale

Happy Belated International Women's Day! At least it was the actual day when we recorded. Women are powerful. Women are resilient. Women are sensitive. Women are exhausted. Women are... EVERYTHING. And that's why we chose a movie to review/recap that shows exactly that. Waiting to Exhale starring the oh so stunning Angela Bassett, the late great Whitney Houston, a mom in every movie Loretta Devine, and the beautiful Lela Rochon. This all female cast did this book justice. By the way, it's an adaptation of Terry McMillan's book by the same name.  So pour up, press play, and prepare to laugh as we talk about Waiting to Exhale. Cheers! *Clink* Remember to follow us on Instagram @cheers2cinema and email us at cheerstocinemapodcast@gmail.com! Talk to us, we talk back!
