Hello, romantics! Your host Manish (@vertigay314) brings in the new year with the landmark basketball romance LOVE & BASKETBALL. With guest Shak (@ShakExcellence)! They talk about the super hot chemistry between stars Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps, the beautiful filmmaking by Gina Prince-Bythewood, and how well the movie holds up in its exploration of gender in sports. This 2000 movie is entertaining, charming, romantic, and gets even better on rewatch!
