About this episode
Tyler Perry is many things, but is he someone we should aspire to be?

Brittany is joined by entertainment journalist and author Tre'vell Anderson and SUNY Purchase theater and performance professor William Bryant Miles to dive head-first into the Madea-verse, asking how Tyler Perry became such a media powerhouse, and whether these allegations of wrongdoing threaten to topple the fraught media empire he has built.
