## Transcript

[0:05] Ray: I'M RAY LOVE JR.
[0:06] Tre'vell: AND I'M TRE'VELL ANDERSON.
[0:07] You ever walk out of a movie theater
[0:09] with your head spinning,
[0:11] trying to figure out
[0:12] why a film hit you the way it did?
[0:14] Loved it, hated it.
[0:16] Just meh.
[0:17] Ray: Oh, all the time.
[0:18] And then you go
[0:18] searching for someone
[0:19] who gets it, right?
[0:20] Someone who sees the movie
[0:21] through a similar lens.
[0:23] Tre'vell: Exactly!
[0:24] And for me,
[0:25] finding Black voices, talking in depth
[0:28] about first-run films,
[0:29] it often felt like a
[0:30] mission impossible.
[0:32] Ray: Well, not anymore!
[0:33] Welcome to Seated
[0:34] the Blackest show about movies
[0:35] where we'll try to make sense of
[0:36] what we just witnessed on the big screen,
[0:38] and occasionally invite in
[0:39] some of our favorite voices in the culture
[0:41] to join the conversation
[0:42] from critics to kick-its.
[0:43] Tre'vell: Oh, wait, now hold on.
[0:44] What in the world
[0:46] is a kick-it?
[0:47] Ray: Well,
[0:47] that's just another word for the homies,
[0:49] or in our case,
[0:50] friends of the show
[0:51] who aren't official movie critics like you,
[0:53] but are more everyday movie lovers like me.
[0:56] Tre'vell: Okay, so this is something
[0:57] you came up with.
[0:58] Okay.
[0:59] Ray: Well, I can't take full credit
[1:00] because you know,
[1:01] I had friends who were in a sorority
[1:03] back in the day
[1:03] and they called their girls kick-its,
[1:05] and I loved it,
[1:05] so I ran with it.
[1:06] Oh,
[1:06] Tre'vell: Okay.
[1:07] OK!
[1:07] Well, every week we'll be diving deep,
[1:09] contextualizing the latest releases
[1:11] through the Black gaze
[1:12] from every angle
[1:13] you all can imagine.
[1:14] Ray: Seriously!
[1:15] This is your judgment-free zone
[1:16] if you live and breathe movies.
[1:17] Cinephiles, casual moviegoers.
[1:20] All are welcome.
[1:20] We only judge the films here.
[1:22] Tre'vell: Yes.
[1:22] 'Cause sometimes you just need to
[1:23] hash it out with others
[1:25] to really understand how
[1:26] you feel about a film.
[1:28] Ray: And that's the Seated agenda
[1:29] to instigate the Black moviegoing experience.
