The Reel Study

💘 This week on The Reel Study, we’re celebrating Black History Month and Valentine’s Day with a romance-driven double feature — Boomerang and Something New. From sharp workplace flirtations and ’90s relationship politics to a modern love story that challenges expectations around race, career, and vulnerability, these films highlight the evolution of Black romance on screen. With charm, humor, and heartfelt conversations at the center, this pairing gives us plenty to unpack about love, ambition, identity, and what happens when chemistry meets complicated circumstances.

Before the discussion, catch up on The Reel News for the latest movie headlines, or check out Reel Roundup, where the panel reviews new films currently in theatres or on streaming platforms.
