B*A*P*S (1997) w/ Lyvie Scott

“I want to take you out to dinner. Every time we go out we got to watch other people eat. Hell, I wanna eat too.”

If you haven't seen Halle Berry and Natalie Desselle Reid's B.A.P.S., you haven't lived. This week The Wives Colangelo are joined by Lyvie Scott to talk about the criminally underseen satirical comedy about two Georgia homegirls thrust into the polite white society of a wealthy man in Beverly Hills. Let's talk about why this film deserves to be a cult classic, and why racism pushed this hidden gem out of the reassessment conversation.
