This week, host Julia Tuner is joined by guest-hosts Jamelle Bouie and Nadira Goffe. In the first segment, they discuss The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which currently tops the box office and stars Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, and numerous other big stars. After that, the panel talks about Chimp Empire, a new Netflix nature series narrated by Mahershala Ali. Then they wrap things up with a conversation about A.I. music and the song Heart on My Sleeve, which sounds like a collaboration between Drake and The Weekend, but…isn’t.

Jamelle Bouie: The 1971 film Carnal Knowledge, directed by Mike Nichols.
Nadira Goffe: Ackee and saltfish, a delicious Jamaican breakfast.
Julia Turner: The 2011 documentary Sing Your Song about Harry Belafonte.
