Sometimes we miss things. Nicole Byer and Lauren Lapkus have been putting themselves through it, catching up on the series that, up until now, they haven't found the time for. In Season 1, Nicole and Lauren got a crash course in Star Wars. Season 2, they toiled their way through The Lord of the Rings. Now, they're on to Tyler Perry's movies, TV shows, and maybe (just maybe) his plays. Join Nicole and Lauren as they get to know the ins and outs of his iconic body of work.
Bonus: Fast X (with Nicole Byer & Jon Gabrus)
Salute la famila... We're back. You know we couldn't leave you hanging without our thoughts on the return of the greatest vroom vroom franchise ever made. Gabrus and Nicole broke every speeding limit and ran every red light from the movie theater to the Headgum studios, for this very special bonus episode on the 10th installment of the Fast & Furious series.
PLUS: Sound the alarm! Newcomers is coming back for a 6th season, covering all the Batman movies ever made. Watch this space for brand new episodes starting August 15th. See you then, fam.
