Episode notes
Cultural juggernaut Steve Harvey is having a moment. He hosts one out of every three TV shows that are currently airing, and just graced the cover of Paper Magazine paying homage to fashion icon André Leon Talley. There’s much to admire about Harvey’s enviable career…but there are a few things that just don’t sit well with Tre’vell and jh. They’ll get into all of it, including their own personal anecdotes related to Harvey.
Pass the Popcorn
In this week’s Pass the Popcorn, jh tells Tre’vell that as soon as he got done watching Tyler Perry’s A Madea Homecoming, he really needed to talk to someone about it, and Tre’vell hadn’t seen it at that point. Of course, they have now seen the film, and FANTI listeners get to hear the uncensored views of jh and Tre’vell.

About the show
Sometimes the people, places, and things we love don’t love us back. We’re fans, but we also have some ANTI- feelings toward them. Every week on FANTI, journalists Tre’vell Anderson and jarrett hill bring their pop culture and political expertise to things we must stan and stand up against. FANTI is a place where nuance reigns supreme with energetic, complicated, and sometimes difficult conversations that bring deep knowledge and thoughtful perspective to the things we love and rage about, from the White House to the Real House(wives).
