About this Experience
What you'll do:
Tired of bland conversations and surface-level small talk? Do you ever catch yourself having full-blown debates in your head about a movie scene... or reading a “healing” post on social media like, “Actually? That’s a trauma response”?
Then The Couch and the Pulpit is exactly where you need to be.
This live podcast taping blends culture, comedy, and counseling in one room — where sacred meets side-eye, and cinema gets the sermon treatment. Hosted by two brilliant Black creatives (with big opinions and even bigger hearts), this isn't just a conversation — it’s a cultural call-in.
We’re talking:
Unfiltered dialogue
Movie scenes turned scripture
Therapy truths with group chat energy
And yes… audience participation
Our first episode? “The Gospel According to Angela.” We’re honoring Angela Bassett’s legacy, and yes — we’ve got a word for the Oscars too.
Pull up. Bring your feels, your edges, and your favorite Angela role. We saved you a seat on the couch.
Why we love it for your party:
Unfiltered dialogue that keeps everyone engaged
Movie scenes, cultural moments, and therapy truths all in one room
Hilarious, heartfelt, and totally memorable
Audience participation makes every event feel personal
Perfect for groups craving bold conversation and good vibes
