Welcome to the latest TGJ Roundtable!

Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!

Though comprised of seasoned writers who share a similar outlook on Urban Pop culture, the idiosyncrasies of the TGJ team members often lend for quite heated debates “behind the scenes” about the hottest topics.

Now, we give you a front row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ or ‘The Real’, TGJ editors – Sam, David, Rashad, and Joe – get real in a very candid way.

Today’s roundtable topic asks each anchor their thoughts on…

‘Beauty and the Beast’ is the latest Disney blockbuster set for a big-screen reboot.

Due in theaters on March 17th, the flick has been reimagined as a live action adventure – led by Emma Watson.

Musically, its soundtrack aims to please and do justice to the familiar tunes millennials will know and love from the 1991 original.

The movie’s title track is one of said songs getting a 2017 redressing – courtesy of Ariana Grande and John Legend.

Together the pair attempt to capture the magic so effortlessly evoked by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson on the first issue of the song.
