Welcome to Season 3, and we’re already tired 😮‍💨. 2026 has officially started testing Jojo’s patience at work, so you know the vibes are real. This episode is a true culture grab bag as we dig into Cam Newton’s recent interviews—are we watching honest conversations, or a full-blown sociology experiment for clicks?We break down award season chaos, from Sinners getting snubbed into a commercial break to celebrating Teyana Taylor’s Golden Globe win 🏆, and why Black spaces still matter deeply when it comes to recognition. We also talk hypersexualization in movies, revisit the classic I Am Sam, and debate whether today’s writers are forced to spoon-feed audiences thanks to shrinking attention spans.Plus, we get a surprise call from Susie, side-eye rappers sharing the same dating pool, give flowers to Stranger Things for elite marketing, and react to Netflix’s new show His & Hers. We also touch (very briefly) on topics we absolutely refuse to touch—yes, that one involving Joe Budden and Keke Palmer 🚫.Somewhere between being exhausted, wishing Chris would go on tour, campaigning to get our cohost cast in a music video, and mourning the lost craftsmanship of beauticians in the era of ready-made wigs and boho braids, we ask the bigger question: where did the creativity go?Tap in—Season 3 is already unhinged. 🎙️🔥🛒 FS Drinks - Café-quality bottled boba drinks💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREWhttps://fsdrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW...New Episodes Every Friday @ 9AM PT!!Available on: RSS, Spotify, Amazon Music, Podcast Index, Fountain, Podverse, Truefans, Pandora, IHeart Radio & YoutubeTo stay updated on all things AWCY, Follow us on socials:Instagram: @awcy_officialTikTok: @arewecanceledyetSpill: @awcy_podcastFanbase: @awcy_podcastBluesky: @awcypodcast.bsky.socialYoutube: @arewecanceledyet

Get ready because this week we’re diving all the way into the world of Sext with the stars themselves! Writer, Executive Producer, and Lead Actress, Kierstyn Stevens and Lead Actor, Sterling Derrick join us for a wildly entertaining and deeply honest conversation you don’t want to miss.Jojo kicks things off with a chaotic round of Rapid-Fire Questions (yes, things get spicy fast 👀). From there, we dig into the writing process, the vulnerability required to create, and how God’s timing has shaped their journey from concept to screen. We also get real about the power of community, the struggle creators face when asking for help, and the hilarious challenge of staying in character even when the scene gets awkward.And of course… we couldn’t have the cast of Sext on without getting into dating advice, the truth behind men and grey sweatpants (Tamika’s fav subject), behind-the-scenes gems, and what’s next for the film.Plus, we break down the illusion of looking like you can dance—apparently if you can master the body roll + stank face combo… you’re basically a pro. 💃🏽🕺🏾It’s fun, it’s raw, it’s insightful, and it’s definitely one for the books.

This week’s episode is a hilarious, heartfelt, chaotic rollercoaster—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. With our co-host Jojo shown up sick (send her love and ginger tea!), The crew hold it down with a wild mix of debates, hot takes, and emotional moments.We kick things off with the age-old showdown: contractions vs. period cramps—which one really wins the pain Olympics? Then we dive into whether celebrities can actually raise their children without the world consuming every moment.We also honor the beautiful memory of BJ, Tamika’s nephew, with a touching birthday tribute. In his honor, we highlight philanthropic holiday family initiatives that bring light during this season of giving.On the lighter (and louder) side, Tamika tells us about the birthday party she attended… featuring a rage room. We talk Thanksgiving dinner chaos, why Black Friday is CANCELLED, and Target’s eyebrow-raising new employee policy. Then we drag the acting world a bit: Actors Access fees, Backstage requiring cover letters??? and why the whole system feels like a scam.Of course, no episode is complete without a little conspiracy spice, some real celebrity-encounter horror stories, and a shoutout to the best read of the year: Seven Days in June by Tia Williams.We wrap with a truth nobody wants to admit: there’s no such thing as an ugly person—some people just can’t dress and we’re willing to die on that hill.Funny, chaotic, comforting, and unfiltered—just how you like it. Tap in and bring a friend. 💛...New Episodes Every Friday @ 9AM PT!!Available on: RSS, Spotify, Amazon Music, Podcast Index, Fountain, Podverse, Truefans, Pandora, IHeart Radio & YoutubeTo stay updated on all things AWCY, Follow us on socials:Instagram: @awcy_officialTikTok: @arewecanceledyetSpill: @awcy_podcastFanbase: @awcy_podcastBluesky: @awcypodcast.bsky.socialYoutube: @arewecanceledyet

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive into the cultural buzz surrounding Key TV’s “Southern Fried Rice” and unpack what it means for Black creatives to “invite folks to the cookout.” From breaking creative barriers to redefining authenticity, we explore how to move and create with intention, find inspiration in imperfection, and understanding your audience on a deeper level. The “Cancel Crew” also gets candid about the difference between creative block and plain old laziness, shares a few audition horror stories, and challenges traditional ideas of masculine and feminine fashion—because, honestly, everybody wears a dress.Join us for a mix of culture, creativity, and candid conversations that’ll leave you inspired to keep creating—your way....New Episodes Every Friday @ 9AM PT!!Available on: RSS, Spotify, Amazon Music, Podcast Index, Fountain, Podverse, Truefans & YoutubeTo stay updated on all things AWCY, Follow us on socials:Instagram: @awcy_officialTikTok: @arewecanceledyetSpill: @awcy_podcastFanbase: @awcy_podcastBluesky: @awcypodcast.bsky.socialYoutube: @arewecanceledyet
