This episode of the Wake & Bake Show gets a cinematic twist as filmmaker Treagan Kier joins us in the studio for a conversation about independent filmmaking, the explosion of Detroit's movie scene, and what it really takes to build a film career without waiting for Hollywood to call.

From producing multiple feature films that have landed on Tubi to creating opportunities for Detroit actors, writers, and creatives, Treagan has been proving that major stories can be told right here in the Motor City. We dive into his filmmaking journey, the grind behind independent productions, the rise of Tubi as a platform for Black filmmakers, and why Detroit continues to become one of the hottest places for independent cinema.

Of course, we couldn't let him leave without talking about his highly anticipated new action-thriller Bullet Proof Soul, premiering later this month in Detroit before making its way to audiences everywhere. Expect behind-the-scenes stories, lessons learned, and a look inside the creative process of bringing an independent action film to life.

And because this is the Wake & Bake Show, the conversation doesn't stop with movies. We also discuss entrepreneurship, building your own lane, the future of Detroit entertainment, and whether independent filmmakers are finally changing the rules of the industry.

If you're a filmmaker, actor, content creator, entrepreneur, or just someone who loves seeing Detroit win, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

The Wake & Bake Show is LIVE from the 48205!

Today's conversation is loaded with the biggest headlines and the realest opinions you won't hear anywhere else.

This episode, Q. Lewis, Monk Money and Angry Man break down the latest developments surrounding rising tensions in the Middle East and ask whether Americans have become desensitized to global conflict. Then the crew shifts gears to debate whether the BET Awards still represent Black culture—or if social media has officially taken over.

Plus, with AI becoming part of everyday life, we ask the question everyone is thinking:

Is artificial intelligence making people smarter... or just making us lazy?

As always, expect hilarious takes, passionate debates, Detroit perspectives, and unfiltered conversation on politics, entertainment, technology, relationships and everything happening in the culture.

LIVE FROM THE 48205! ☕🔥

On this episode of the Wake & Bake Show, Q. Lewis, Monk Money, and Angry Man bounce around some of the biggest and most uncomfortable topics affecting Black America today.

The fellas dive into the highly publicized Karmelo Anthony case, the controversial verdict, and the heated racial debates surrounding the trial that have divided opinions across the country.

From there, the conversation takes a deeper turn as the crew examines whether racism in America has changed or simply evolved, and what it means to raise Black children in predominantly suburban neighborhoods. Is there a benefit to escaping the hood? What challenges come with being "the only one in the room?" How do parents prepare their children for success while also preparing them for prejudice?

Of course, this is the Wake & Bake Show, so expect plenty of laughs, wild opinions, blunt honesty, and enough smoke to keep the conversation rolling. No scripts. No filters. Just Detroit talk from three brothers trying to make sense of a complicated world.
