IS GOD IS Review + MORTAL KOMBAT II and More | SEATED Podcast | Ep. 33

Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. head to the gritty South for their review of Aleshea Harris's unapologetically Black revenge thriller, IS GOD IS. Ray and Tre'vell unpack the twin sisters' lethal mission through the Black gaze, debating if the star-studded film gives what it's supposed to give. Tune in for their hella honest verdict: is this mythic pursuit of justice a "Seated," "Stream It," or a "Skip It?" The duo also delivers a "Fresh Out" capsule review of the bloody new sequel, MORTAL KOMBAT II. Plus, they play a "Canon Cousins" edition of the Black Cinema Games, highlighting the 60-year cinematic DNA that paved the way for Is God Is, before closing out with Good Vibes Only.   JOIN THE SEATED MOVIE CLUB https://www.seatedshow.com/join   00:00:00 - Intro 00:02:22 - Fresh Out: Mortal Kombat II 00:08:00 - Is God Is Spoiler-Free Thoughts 00:22:59 - Is God Is Spoiler-Filled Discussion 00:50:14 - Seated, Skip It, Stream It Verdict 00:50:40 - Rotten Tomatoes Critic Score, Letterboxd Rating 00:51:47 - Black Critic Spotlight: Tai Gooden, Features Editor at Nerdist.com 00:52:33 - Black Cinema Games: Cousin Canon Edition 00:58:05 - Good Vibes Only: BERNARR., Blocc Party: An Insecure Podcast CONNECT Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seatedshow, Website: https://www.seatedshow.com Email: holla@seatedshow.com   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   TITLES DISCUSSED   Bernarr.
