Booker T. Mattison is an associate professor in the Department of Entertainment and Media Studies at Grady College and the director and writer of this movie, as well as The Gilded Six Bits and The Sound of Christmas.

Marija Juliette Abney (who was one of Black Panther’s personal bodyguards, the Dora Milaje, in the MCU movies) is Yolanda Carver or, as her TV fans refer to her, Dr. Yo. She’s an empiricist and claims that she handles marriages based on what she can see, not her opinions, and that she follows the scientific method.

She may also be — as the title spoils — twisted.

Liam (Pha’rez Lass) and Armeka Jasper (Jennifer Sears) are in the middle of a marriage that isn’t working for either of them. She wants children and he has no idea what he wants, suffering from PTSD from two tours of duty yet unable to communicate with anyone just how emotional he is.

This movie is everything I want in a Tubi original. Seemingly throughout the movie, everyone wants to get with Armeka, including her work friend Ivy (Jackie Dallas), who offers hugs on the regular, and Dr. Yo, who already has a down low relationship with her producer Tonya (Bree Webber).

Meanwhile, she keeps sneaking up on Liam — even when he’s trying to have sex with his wife — and tells everyone that her husband died in Afghanistan, yet Liam discovers a secret ladies only therapy session in which she states that he came home, had PTSD and attacked her. So what is it? And just who was getting stabbed in the beginning when he was getting ridden by another woman?

The scam that Dr. Yo has is amazing. She picks out attractive women in the audience of her show and give them free marriage counseling that gets their husband killed. The wild thing is that Armeka literally looks like she’s going to freak out at any minute, no matter what happens, in every single scene. That’s the kind of acting I appreciate.

But Dr. Yo calling the cops on Liam? And of course, white cops? Man, Twisted Marriage Therapist goes there. Then when Dr. Yo can’t convert Armeka? It’s time for zipties, ground and pound and 50 Shades of Gray red ribbon restraints while Liam is locked up in a co-ed asylum that she runs.

I’m so glad that this set up a sequel. Let’s see one now, Tubi.

You can watch this on Tubi.
