In honor of the ongoing NBA playoffs, here's an encore presentation of our original episode on Just Wright, starring Queen Latifah and Common.

Topics discussed:

• Queen Latifah displays why she is on our Mount Rushmore of hip-hop star turned actors 
• Common shows that he is a solid actor 
• The basketball scenes are just mid
• The plot is quite formulaic and predictable, but hey, it's a rom-com! 
• There are a couple actresses whose skills and experience are underutilized: Pam Grier and Phylicia Rashad.
