Can Tyler Perry’s newest film make us swear off his movies for good? Join us on the latest episode of the Open Book Podcast as we humorously dissect "Divorce and the Black." After Jay's grueling recovery from a kidney stone and Nia's much-needed break from moving, we decided to unwind with this two-hour and one-minute movie, which felt like two lifetimes. We dive into the storyline, exposing Megan Good’s mysterious character and unraveling the familiar tropes of struggle, flawed male figures, and the ever-present church influences that Perry fans have come to expect.
We don’t hold back in our critique, openly discussing the apparent decline in Tyler Perry’s film quality. From poor wigs and visible microphones to nonsensical character choices, we spotlight how Corey Hardrick's unnecessary wig and other production missteps contribute to our growing disappointment. Our conversation delves into the repetitive themes of trauma and redemption through a "clean" man, questioning if there’s still potential for Perry to use his platform to champion emerging talent instead of churning out subpar content.
In a particularly memorable segment, we analyze a park scene with a weeping willow, where the mismatched song lyrics left us scratching our heads. We argue that the song would have been more impactful in a scene laden with conflict, perhaps involving Hardrick’s character. Wrapping up, we ponder if we’ll ever watch another Tyler Perry film, despite the inevitable buzz each new release generates. Don’t miss out on our candid and often hilarious take on "Divorce and the Black" and our broader thoughts on Perry’s cinematic trajectory.
