I love what you both are doing. I love POWER UNIVERSE and all the Characters from each franchise. During Power's downtime I can check out other work from all the Great actors on Power because they ALL are amazing in various ways. Thank you for letting us know other places we can look at all these Beautiful actors outside of Power (while waiting on Power to come back on) 😍🤩🥰 After watching the podcasts it gives me another reason to Binge on the show AGAIN ! 😍

Gianni does a great job of making friends with everyone in the industry. He's like a young Kevin Hart. It translates into interviews where he holds space for guests but also interrupts them with anecdotes that add texture to the interview/conversation. As a 30+ year old; when I grow up, I wanna be just like him.

I thought Kanan died too soon in Power, and Mecca died too early in Power Book II. They could have gotten more mileage from his character. Definitely an awesome villain.

@traviswest2041 Год назад

I agree… I feel they Pumped him up for such a short lived character. Plus he wasn’t as tough as other Power villains anyway. We didn’t see him really cause any massive damage or wreck havoc.
