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.
