While the film has cringe-inducing scenes of blackface and outdated ideas about the autonomy of women, the charm of the stars and the breezy dance numbers almost make up for the racism and sexism.

Stan the Movie Man and Maude the Movie Broad do their first episode in a battle of the sexes that doesn’t go as planned. They watch the Netflix original movie Always Be My Maybe and compare notes...which also doesn’t go as expected. Of course, this is their first episode so they don’t know what to expect. Each episode, they takes turns picking something to watch, they watch it together and see how much one of them hates it...or doesn’t.
