Our Rioters dive into a spoiler-free preview of One of Them Days, before Sherin sits down with author and Riotus pal Angela Henry!
One of Them Days
Sherin, Kat, and Brielle give you a spoiler-free teaser of One of Them Days, the new movie starring Keke Palmer and SZA about friendship, community, and tryna pay the rent (you know how it goes). Our Rioters break down the characters, the themes, and how multi-dimensional One of Them Days is—and they leave you with a teaser of the scenes to look out for when it hits theaters on Friday.
Sherin says, “One of Them Days is a classic hood comedy that rolls like Friday and hits like Girls Trip. Keke Palmer & SZA are a kinetic comedy duo who show love for the women who learn to love themselves.”
Whachudoin’? with Angela Henry
Sherin then calls up her pal Angela Henry, who’s an author and a librarian and an all-round awesome person, to ask her: Whachudoin’? Angie kicks off the chat by introducing The Family Lies, her new novel that is out now in paperback, and out digitally and as an audiobook on January 22nd!
With twenty years as a published author and thirteen books to her name, including her best-selling novel The Perfect Affair, Angie has so many fantastic stories to tell within her books and about her time in the industry. She talks about what it takes to make it in publishing, her time at the Iceland Noir Literature Festival in Reykjavik in November, and her writing process.
Being so immersed in the book world, Sherin and Angie have plenty of recommendations to add to your TBR, and lots of ideas on what to do next. Angie’s also working on her fourteenth novel, so listen out for more about that—ooh, and you’ll even get to hear what her some of her novels were originally titled (which is so delightful!).
