Trailblazer Fatigue
Although we love celebrating anytime a Black individual breaks barriers to become the first in an industry, we have to ask, is there blowback to being the first? This week Tre’vell and Jarrett dissect the significance of being the first Black this, that, and the other before they share their personal “first” experiences that relate to being a Black and Queer individual climbing up the ranks in entertainment journalism.
Pass the Popcorn
*Spoiler Alert Warning*
In this week’s PTP, Jarrett REALLY wants to talk about a show both he and Tre’vell saw: Netflix’s Clickbait. This thriller sees Nick Brewer kidnapped only to have his wife, Sophie , and family sent on a wild manhunt to save him. If you haven’t seen the series yet and want to avoid any spoilers, skip ahead to 10:19. And if you’ve seen the show, please @Jarrett, especially if you figured out the ending before watching the final episode. Warning: Jarrett will think you’re lying.
