This week, we are joined by film critic and host of the\\xa0Linoleum Knife\\xa0podcast Alonso Duralde! Alonso will be with us for the next couple of months while Margaret is on maternity leave, bringing his particular knowledge of film and the industry to the show. But this week:\\xa0Girls Trip. The movie stars Regina Hall, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Queen Latifah, and breakout star Tiffany Haddish. They discuss Tiffany Haddish\'s hilarious performance in this movie, but does Hollywood know what to do with her next? They talk about the role of blackness and black female friendship in this movie, and why it\'s important more of these films get made. And finally, and probably most importantly, they talk about the role that black hair plays in the movie, and what each of the character\'s hair styles tells you about their personality.

Guy is all about\\xa0The Beaverton, which is Canada\'s answer to The Onion News Network, and Wynter is all about the Jason Bateman led Netflix series\\xa0Ozark. Plus, Karen catches up on\\xa0Queen Sugarand Alonso is still watching\\xa0Degrassi. Plus, we hear what each of the panelists is listening to this week.
