016 - Recap of The Sam and Bucky Show - Episode 5

SyFy Sistas ·

2021/07/09

This episode is emotional for the SyFy Sistas as Yvette breaks down the role of a good soldier being a "good soldier," Tamia breaks down 'erasure' and Isaiah Bradley near breaks down the Sistas. But they bounce right back with an impromptu Black History lesson (see list below). Leave it to J.D. to let us know that 'not my monkey, not my circus' is a thing and give us the Marvel dossier on the Contessa. There are shout outs to the deft acting of Daniel Bruhl as Zemo, Gabrielle Byndloss as Olivia

2021/06/25

J.D. continues to take the point on our FAWS deep dive where the Sistas ask: Can you be a superhero without being super? Yvette keeps it real deconstructing the dilemma of lost people. We get back to the everyday with a Tina Fey reference, a discussion of snatching Lemar's Black Card, and Tom Hanks in Castaway. While Tamia wants more on the Blip, J.D. yes, J.D. sees the human side of John Walker. And just wait until we get to (spoiler alert) the entrance of the Dora Milaje. You can find the SyFy

Things get real in "Power Broker" as Sam and Bucky are involved in a jailbreak and spy antics in the search for Karli, the Angry Child. The Sistas discuss poor Bucky's reprise as the Winter Soldier. Yvette gets him, Subrina thinks he's alright, Tamia thinks he's layered, but J.D. nails his problem to the wall with millennial accuracy. While Tamia tackles Zemo and iconography, and Yvette explains Walker and Lemar, we learn what J.D. thinks about all three of them. Subrina goes deep into "Trouble

The Sistas react viscerally to the happenings in the Falcon and the Winter Soldier #102. While Tamia does her best to keep the discussion on track and J.D. drops more incredible Easter Eggs, Yvette takes us to the Lord of the Rings, Subrina makes a temporal incursion to Episode 3, Fran is clear about where she stands on John Walker, and we ALL have something to say about Lemar. From competitive therapy to secret experiments on Black G.I.s this episode from Marvel Studios churns up some serious

2021/05/14

From a Sista in the Seat to a Brother with the Shield, J.D. leads Fran, Subrina, Tamia, and Yvette into a deep discussion that covers DC versus Marvel comics, code switching, big sisters and little brothers, and all sorts of Marvel Easter eggs. Yes, we are back in series recap mode, and no, it isn’t Star Trek, but count on the SyFy Sistas to get some Trek references into this conversation.

011 - Michael Burnham Kirkin’ It Up?

SyFy Sistas ·

2021/04/30

Black female lead on the bridge is an idea that sent a vocal minority of Star Trek fans into a feedback loop. But relax, because Michael Burnham is really our hero, James T. Kirk! Listen as the Sistas demonstrate how Burnham and Kirk, captains from the same era, are far more alike than you think.

SyFy Sistas ·

2021/04/16

Latina/Klingon B'Elanna Torres of Star Trek: Voyager and Belter Naomi Nagata of The Expanse, are our favorite chief engineers. Besides being two of the smartest characters in sci-fi, they also have enthralling story arcs that border on 'messy'. All flux couplers being equal, our final question is, "Who would you want on your side in a fire fight?"

009 - It's STNG "Darmok" vs Doctor Who’s "Midnight"

SyFy Sistas ·

2021/04/02

SyFy Sistas J.D., Tamia, and Subrina visit that other celebrated sci-fi franchise, Doctor Who. It's STNG's fan favorite "Darmok" and the episode of Doctor Who "Midnight". Both episodes examine the frustration and fear induced by the inability to communicate. But the REAL drama is will J.D.’s diabolical episode pairing turn Tamia and Subrina into Tardis loving Whovians?

008 - It's Possible: From Brandy to Burnham

SyFy Sistas ·

2021/03/19

The Sistas discuss the impact of the 1997 TV movie Cinderella, starring Brandy Norwood and Whitney Houston, on multiple generations of Black women. The beauty of diversity is the main theme of this memorable TV event. Did the Whitney Houston production of this classic fairy tale with its color-blind cast help lay the foundation for Black leading ladies to come? We draw a line from Brandy's Princess Throne to Burnham's Captain's chair and ask, "Do science fiction and fantasy productions of today do

What makes these crucial partnerships work or fail to work? How do age, gender, and even species affect the chain of command? Listen as SyFy Sistas Tamia, Fran, and Subrina break down your favorite duos: Kirk and Spock, Picard and Riker, Sisko and Kira, Janeway and Chakotay, Archer and T'Pol, and Georgiou and Burnham, from their point of view.

In our third podcast Tamia, Fran T, and I delve into #107 which is a well-deserved break in the action of Picard's journey. Nepenthe is an episode full of rich ST TNG memories and new observations that bring surprising facets out of each of us. Correction: The Story of Helen of Troy (yes, we went there) is from the Iliad, not the Odyssey. It was a slip of the tongue y'all, please don't call me.
