And that was the first time I'd ever met you, even though you had been recording the podcast for a while before that, right?
Absolutely. Absolutely. Alrighty, that was our discussion of A Star is Born and getting hammered in film. So now it's time for our guest segment, which we're calling My Area of Expertise. So this is where we're going to bring on a guest, usually somebody funny and cool, I hope. Always cool.
Yeah. Well, we're setting a high bar with the funny because Shalai was an incredible comedian and But, you know, normally what would happen is we're going to bring on somebody, they're going to discuss this like hyper-specific area that they are an expert in when it comes to movies, right? And since we spoke about, you know, the...
modern iteration of A Star Is Born, which is a movie about music, obvi. We're going to bring on a guest to talk about, you know, this area of their expertise that's also sort of another example of like a modern cinematic fantasia. The Magic Mike franchise, I think you know. Our first guest is a wonderful human being, and I am not at all lying about that in any way, shape, or form.
I've known this woman for so, so long. She originally is an Atlanta comedian who has been in New York for decades at this point, I would say. And very funny, she does stand-up all over the country, all over the world, to be honest, and also has this incredible podcast. called The War Report that she does with a fellow comic named Gastor Almonte.
They're very funny together, and she's just a wonderful human being, and I want to bring her on the pod. So, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Shalewa Sharp. Yay!
I will say this, though. Not to say that we were not good friends before this, but I feel like the event that really crystallized our friendship in a deep, meaningful way is that Playboy article slash interview with John Mayer that came out many years ago.
Like, I think the biggest topics in that moment were the fact that Jessica Simpson had been called sexual napalm. Remember, I know we talked about that. And that he called his penis racist.
Which I think was the biggest... That was, like, issue number one.
We like to bring people on and talk about, you know, an area of their film expertise, right? Like, have you gone really hard on like a specific director or a specific genre? Are you like very well versed in, you know, a certain type of film or like a franchise of some kind? And so when I asked you this question and you replied, yes, I do have an expertise.
And then you told me what the expertise was. I was thrilled. Let's just say that.
And I think that because Casey and I both share this passion as well. Oh, good. So I feel like we're going to have an incredible debate slash... Debate. I think there's going to be a debate because I feel like over the course... I mean, let's just say it. Shalewa, what is your area of expertise that you'd like to talk about today?
Yes.
Okay, I would like to, first and foremost, I would like to establish a timeline, if you'll bear with me. Okay. Let's establish a timeline of the moment you figured out who Channing Tatum was. Did it start with the Step Up films, or did you know him prior to that? How did you enter the universe via Channing Tatum?
It is my kryptonite. I've gone on record. I cannot.
Well, this is kind of the trajectory that I think is really interesting about this franchise because it's like, okay, the first movie was kind of a dark drama in certain parts. And it was really mostly about... the Alex Pettifer character who was kind of like, like cause Channing Tatum, like magical Michael, if you will. Well, yes. He was already in the world. Yeah.
And then you as a viewer were with the Adam character, the Alex Pettifer character who was like, I'm new to this. I need some extra cash. I guess I'm going to like start, you know, down this road of exotic dancing and drugs and women and all this stuff. And that was kind of more about his descent into the world.
And so there was a serious moment, you know, or two, but it was like, it was really his story. Yeah. And then when the second one came out... Oh, right.
They basically were like, well... The public has spoken. We have heard the requests. Nothing, no more serious stuff. We don't care about this. Who the fuck cares about Adam? We might as well kill him off.
Put him in an ice cream truck and let him travel around the South.
