We’re joined once again by Lisa from @reelmovielovers9570 for the third straight week, along with our brother Chris, to break down The Black Phone 2 for Episode 177.We really got into our horror bag with this one — from calling out the Nightmare on Elm Street influences, to sharing our thoughts on where the horror genre is heading. We even revisited our favorite debate: Camp vs. Horror Comedy (Chris’s lane, of course), and tackled the question of what truly makes a “horror icon.” Did we really need a sequel to The Black Phone? What would a prequel even look like? And most importantly…Was It Good Though?? 🎙️

And of course, we close it all out with the question that matters most…
WAS IT GOOD THOUGH!? 🔪
We’re keeping the Spooky Season reviews rolling! This week, we’re diving into Together with our sister in podcasting, Lisa from Reel Movie Lovers .
We usually try to stay away from the “Red Pill” topics, but with this film, that was about as hard as Tim trying to be a decent partner. 👀 We also unpack some of the drama surrounding the movie before its release.
Was Tim really Millie’s biggest hater? Can a relationship survive when one person secretly resents the other? And wait… was Millie really trying to slide into Jamie’s DMs?? We get into it all — and of course, we ask the question: Was It Good Though? 🎬

We also touched on the importance of safe sex, the hilarious dynamic between Tommy and Jamie’s characters, and which era — the 90s or early 2000s — gave us the best run of romantic Black-led films.
