Gabe and iconic podcast producer, writer and friend Melisa D. Monts break down one of the best bank robbing blockbuster films, Set It Off, starring Queen Latifah, Kimberly Elise, Vivica A Fox, and Jada Pinkett. How were Black women portrayed in "empowerment" films in light of the booming 90s economy? What do the motivations of our heroes say about systemic racism, homophobia, and misogynoir? Should we all just start robbing banks? Time to SET IT OFF!
