In this week’s second episode, we do our deep dive into episode 3 of "Lovecraft Country". We also began with an emotional few minutes dedicated to Mr. Chadwick Boseman.
Our takes... we examine the different themes expressed in the episode; the show already feels like it's 5 seasons in; MiMi would’ve been so scared during exorcism she would’ve invoked the member names of defunct R&B groups; Tick needs a Republican frame of mind.

In this week’s second episode, we do our deep dive into the amazing second episode of HBO's "Lovecraft Country" entitled "Whitey's On the Moon".
Our takes... we can’t pronounce Braithwhite so we've dubbed them the "Racist Targaryens"; "Sons of Adam" are the original Qanon; a "Twilight" vs. "Underworld" discussion devolves into a Jerry Falwell Jr. comparison; Mel and MiMi give personal accounts of their experiences with “The White Gaze” — from fried chicken to the Cupid Shuffle. We also get into how Gil Scott Heron's poem continues to accurately portray our nation.

Hi guys! This is our first ever "instatake", a quick immediate reaction to last night's episode 2.
(We'll be back later in the week for a full recap.)
WHAT A FRIGGIN' EPISODE!! AMAZING! Paced more like a season finale than a second episode.
Our other takes? Well... That ain’t the anaconda Mel and MiMi want, Leti was rocking her fresh "Amelia Earhart" look, and Mel asks why “Ivanka Trump” in this episode.

In this week’s episode, we dive into the first episode of HBO's "Lovecraft Country" including the lore and historical context.
Our takes? Well... Kim scarred her 6th-grade class by making them watch "Imitation of Life", Atticus was OJ's inspiration for car chases, Leti "Usain Bolt" Lewis what they call her and Mel needs protection from her chakras.
Also, shout out to Alexander Dumas
