After the incident in the parking lot, Al and Earn find themselves in jail. Al gets out quickly because he got it like that. Earn...well Earn absolutely does not...and it goes down...for real.

It was supposed to be a nice lovers' weekend but of course things went sideways because Earn is a turd. This little freak town was weird AF but still. Once again, c'mon son.

Last episode of season 2 ended with a classically sweet tea @$$ episode of Atlanta FX. We approve.

Because some of our listeners are late to the Atlanta FX party, we're doing a re-watch of every single episode in the first season. This episode we'll give you the same classic kind of rundown just like always---and oh yes, there may be spoilers.

Forget Drake, NYE and social media posting. Your regular, run-of-the-mill girls' night out can be every bit as scary as visiting some freak in the boondocks for a piano. C'mon Van. We're worried about you, Lil Sis.

Nita Cherise and Nikki are going to do what they gotta do to record and produce this show. It's just necessary. Plus someone has to break this AtlantaFX show down because the characters, writing and storyline are too dope not to. And we know all about getting robbed and exploited. Sort of.

Earn's behind should have been fired a long time ago. We've been saying it for several reviews. Now who wants to jam to a mixtape of throwback snap music?

What's attending high school like in a severely image-conscious place like Atlanta? Apparently brutal. Oh the memories. Almost needed to schedule a visit with a therapist for this one. #Bothered

In this episode, we are feelin' Clark County, Boogz, Tracy and Minnie. Earn...not so much. C'mon son. C'mon. We really need you to come on in.
