Show notes

Happy Thanksgiving! The boys discuss the 1997 holiday classic Soul Food, starring Vanessa Williams, Vivica A. Fox, and Nia Long.

Space Jam Nov 18, 2016

Show notes

It's the 20th Year Anniversary of Space Jam starring Michael Jordan and we used that as an excuse to take a trip down memory lane! We explore the impact Michael Jordan had on America, why Space Jam worked over other films with NBA leads, and whether or not this film helped the cause! Oh and singing, there's lots of singing.

What's Love Got To Do With It ft. Romany Malco Nov 11, 2016

Show notes

Special guest Romany Malco (The 40 Year Old Virgin, Weeds) joins as we talk all about the Academy-Award nominated Tina Turner biopic What's Love Got To Do With It, starring Angela Bassett. There's a lot of love for black women, a lot of love for Angela, a lot of love for this film, and a blissful ignorance of the presidential election.

Birth of a Nation ft. Keisha Zollar Nov 04, 2016

Show notes

Buckle in, this one's a doozy. Directed, produced, written, and starring Nate Parker, The Birth of a Nation (2016) is a retelling of the controversial historical figure of Nat Turner and his infamous slave rebellion in 1831. However, Nate Parker's own controversy has overshadowed even the film's subject matter and we discuss it all with special guest Keisha Zollar (HBO's Divorce). Get into it.

Boo! A Madea Halloween Oct 28, 2016

Show notes

The name Tyler Perry immediately conjures different images in many people's heads: successful, minstrel, empire, a joke, highly entertaining, shameful embarrassment. We have ignored Tyler Perry films for too long. We review the latest in the Madea franchise and in the process learn something...or maybe, lose something? We still don't know...

Tales From The Hood Oct 21, 2016

Show notes

This 1995 Horror/Comedy film may not have any bonafide stars, but did have the backing of Spike Lee's production company 40 Acres and a Mule, plus the bragging rights as one of the very few "scary movies" with a majority black cast. We discuss the not-so-hidden messages of the film, whether or not film's title & poster are beneficial, and if it helped or hurt the cause!

Alien vs. Predator ft. Jermaine Fowler Oct 14, 2016

Show notes

Special guest Jermaine Fowler (CBS's Superior Donuts) helps us kick off the Halloween season with the 2004 mashup sequel AVP, starring Sanaa Lathan. We discuss the portrayal of the black female heroine, whether or not AVP is a good installment of either franchise, why Sanaa Lathan's career isn't even bigger than it is, and if this film helped the cause!

The Magnificent Seven Oct 07, 2016

Show notes

Denzel Washington stars in this 2016 remake of The Magnificent Seven, which in itself is a remake of the Japanese film Seven Samurai, and your boys have some thoughts. We discuss the merits of diversifying the new cast, who should have killed the big bad, and if this film helped the cause.

The Long Kiss Goodnight Sep 23, 2016

Show notes

Samuel L. Jackson is one of the greatest, highest-grossing actors of all time...and he also made this film in 1996 called The Long Kiss Goodnight. Shane Black was one of the highest paid screenwriters in Hollywood in the '90's and he also wrote The Long Kiss Goodnight. We talk about Sam's career, stereotypes of black actors, and we also review The Long Kiss Goodnight.
