Episode notes

We’ve had our eye on this one from its premiere at Sundance (!). Now, Adamma Ebo’s mockumentary, starring Sterling K. Brown and Regina Hall, has hit theaters and Peacock, with a period in its title and a lot more than Pearl Prada on its mind.

Later, we’ll nominate mockumentaries to the Hall of Excellence.
