🌟 Welcome back to The Reference Report! 🌟

As improvisers, staying up on pop culture isn’t just fun—it’s homework. Knowing the references that shape our world makes us sharper, funnier, and more connected. And let’s be real: we all know Friends and Seinfeld are improv reference staples, but what about the stories WE grew up with? It’s time for the rest of y’all to catch up on our classics. 🖤

Every so often, we’ll drop a list of Black movies and shows you need to know—whether you’re a Black improviser brushing up on essentials or a non-Black cousin doing the research to meet us where we are. Let’s make those Black references hit just as hard as the rest. ✊🏾
