Warner Bros Isn’t Happy With The Color Purple, An Airplane Loses A Door Mid-Flight, Are You Ready For Valentine’s Day, and More

With Valentine’s Day approaching, we’re less than a month away from the rush to Walgreens for last-minute gifts. The Florida State Board of Education seems to be dancing around diversity, equity, and inclusion. We’re not just talking about polka dots here; it’s about crucial aspects of education. And speaking of things blowing up, did you hear about the Alaska Airlines flight where a door blew off mid-air? Wait until you find out what they’re giving passengers as an apology.

In the world of entertainment, “The Color Purple” seems to be thriving, but Warner Brothers disagrees. Guess who they’re blaming? It’s not Jonathan Majors! Also, someone other than Jonathan Majors is speaking highly of Coretta Scott King—find out who.

To cap it off, we’ll kick off our Group Chat Topic of the Week: Polyamory. Are you with it or nah? We’ll explore this unconventional form of relationship and take your calls.

Listen, Laugh, and Learn on The Amanda Seales Show!
