00:00I'm Issa Rae.
00:01I'm McKee Stanfield.
00:02And we're here with Refinery29, Unbothered.
00:06Remixing that romance.
00:07Ooh.
00:08So it is our job to create 12 relationships.
00:12From movies?
00:13Yeah.
00:14Let's do it.
00:15Can't wait.
00:16Let's start with Queen and Slim.
00:19Unfortunately, they both died, but we're going to resurrect them.
00:21All right, so we're going to recreate them with,
00:23I just like this name, Winston Shakespeare.
00:25Slim?
00:26Slim.
00:27Yeah.
00:28Slim got resurrected, was like, I'm one of the little Jamaicans.
00:31Boom.
00:32Winston Shakespeare, Slim.
00:34How Stella got her slim back.
00:36OK.
00:37Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what's up.
00:38Yeah.
00:38I love Queen Latifah.
00:40Queen Latifah was a rom-com queen, and she was underrated in Just Right.
00:44I don't think she needs to be with Comden.
00:45I think she needs to be with another basketball lover.
00:50You know where I'm going with this?
00:52Michael Block.
00:53No, I don't know.
00:54You know who?
00:54Lover basketball?
00:55Where's Quincy?
00:56Quincy McCall.
00:57Boom.
00:58Love is just right with basketball?
01:01Oh, OK.
01:02Love and basketball is just right.
01:04Oh.
01:04Yes, thank you so much.
01:05Boom.
01:06All right.
01:06I just want to do the obvious thing and just pick myself Michael Block in the photograph.
01:13Oh, shit.
01:13I know he'd be with LaKeith Stanfield.
01:15You know I was about to be mad.
01:18I can't even be mad at that.
01:20I know we could pair ourselves with people.
01:22Yeah, and we just call it Get Out the Photograph.
01:25Oh.
01:28I like that.
01:29You're so creative.
01:29OK.
01:30Well, if we're pairing people up, I have always wanted to be with, I don't like poetry, but
01:36I like Darius Lovell, but I just, I don't like the spoken word poetry aspect, so I can't
01:42do that.
01:42What do you mean?
01:44Lowkey, I want to be with, I love a man who loves music, so I have to go with Dre
01:50Ellis
