Oprah and Tyler Perry were among the executive producers behind "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' By Sapphire," which helped the Lee Daniels-directed film draw in big-name talent from the Black music scene -- such as Mo'Nique, Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz. The movie went on to earn several Oscar nominations in 2009, including one for Best Picture, as well as a couple of Academy Award wins (for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress).

In this episode, Mike and Brian dig deeper into the world of "Precious," exploring what the film's choice to feature so many Black musicians does for its story; they talk highs and lows; discuss how a rewatch heightens or diminishes the film's emotional power; and finally, whether or not this film will make their top fives of the year.
