White Men Can't Jump (2023) w/ Andrew Dismukes (TEASER) Jul 12, 2023

James and Jonathan are joined by Andrew Dismukes (SNL) to discuss the 2023 White Men Can't Jump remake, directed by Calmatic from a script by Kenya Barris, Doug Hall, and Ron Shelton. The film reworks Shelton's 1992 Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson, and Rosie Perez vehicle of the same name. Calmatic's version stars Sinqua Walls, Jack Harlow, and Lance Reddick. James, Jon, and Andrew explore the comedy beats that land, the comedy beats that don't, and what such a major remake skipping a theatrical release to go to Hulu says about the state of movies.
