What Did I Think About This Week?!

What Did I Think About This Week?! starts from a question Janine puts to herself as each week winds down, and the answer becomes the episode. She names the territory up front: insights from her marriage, whatever grabbed her attention in pop culture, and the new mommy moments of the week. Anything that makes her highlight reel is fair game. Janine answers to several names, Nina and Neen among them, and the show has the same easy, familiar energy. She calls it a roundtable, opens with a gather-round welcome, and gives shout-outs to the people listening because, as she puts it, time is precious. One cold open is a mock freestyle she abandons almost at once, joking that the few bars she delivered were all she had. The pop culture talk is opinionated and affectionate. Walking through Cardi's path from Love and Hip-Hop to Bodak Yellow, Janine credits her with staying raw and genuinely herself, then announces that there is a lane for everybody and she is over the beef. Guests turn up under a 'Feat' credit in episode titles: Ju in Nawf Atlanta Love Letter Feat Ju, and Wes in another. Janine introduces Wes as her buddy and as the creator and host of I Got Next, and he spends part of his visit ribbing her for calling him West. He also sets the record straight on his own show. It is about basketball, not sports in general, with soccer promised but not yet delivered. The book club is the other mode, and it goes deeper. Janine explains that it began when she committed to carving out more time for herself, and she frames it as a space where women who give so much as moms, partners and bosses can replenish. One session begins with a spotlight on Celeste and a cheerful shameless plug. The group reads The Vanishing Half in chapter blocks, and the next chapters are already on the schedule when the meeting wraps. The talk does not stay on the page. Members describe abuse carried across generations of their own families, a cousin still living with the fallout, and a first relationship that repeated the pattern. They name it plainly as a cycle and a generational curse. Janine ends that meeting saying she cannot wait for the next one. Elsewhere she signs off by asking for comments and shares, even from anyone who did not like the episode, on the theory that someone else will. She also urges people to make a significant other feel special that week. For the lighter side, the Wes episode is the easy way in; The Book Club - The Vanishing Half Part 2 (Chap 3-5) shows the heavier one.
