This week on No More Late Fees, Danielle and Jackie dive into the bold, heartwarming, and hilarious world of 1997’s cult classic BAPS*! Joined by their guest Stephanie, they relive Nisi and Mickey’s over-the-top journey from Atlanta to Beverly Hills, where they dream big, cook up soul food, and shake up a wealthy old man’s final days. From iconic hairstyles and outrageous fashion to heartfelt moments of friendship, this episode celebrates a movie that may have been misunderstood by critics but remains a Black cult classic. They also confront Roger Ebert’s infamous zero-star review with a healthy dose of sass and love for the movie’s ahead-of-its-time portrayal of Black women.

Between laugh-out-loud bidet mishaps and touching scenes of joy, the hosts also reflect on the movie’s cultural impact, the magic of Halle Berry and Natalie Desselle’s chemistry, and why more Black female-led comedies are needed in Hollywood. With sharp critiques, nostalgic love, and a few hilarious tangents about pagers and Uber-before-Uber, this episode proves BAPS* still has a lot of heart—and a lot to say.
