This week, Issa and Prentice sit down with Insecure director Melina Matsoukas to dive into S1E3: Racist As F*ck — lovingly known as “The Beach Day” episode.

Melina also sets the record straight on winning the director’s job, why she’s a fan of the Tasha-Lawrence storyline, and how she knew her bestie, Solange, would be a perfect music supervisor for Insecure.
