Power After Hours Episode 615 Recap – “Exactly How We Planned”

Jeff and Krissy are back to review the penultimate episode of Power! We get the Tate-Centric episode, which meant to show the motives he had to kill Ghost, but this turned into a referendum on the commonly agreed upon uselessness of the Paz episode, clumsy sequencing of the episodes, and whether fans actually care about who shot Ghost anymore. We did get a reminder that Larenz Tate be AC-TING though. Before this episode, we take a moment to remember Kobe and Gigi Bryant, along with the 7 other individuals lost in that tragic helicopter crash on Sunday. It took us a couple of days, as it did much of the world, to compose ourselves and prepare to drop this podcast.

Jeff and Krissy Link up to talk all things Paz... even though they aren't hyped about it.
