Blue Streak (1999) Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

It’s Debate Central on the Mission as Vincent and Len congratulate a couple of 2023 Emmy winners while lamenting the fate of Better Call Saul, leading to Debate #1 about the ‘comedy’ of The Bear. That’s followed by a reckoning of Martin Lawrence’s relevance, which begets Debate #2 about who Black America loves more: Martin or Eddie Murphy. Then, an animated Six Degrees takes us into their review of 1999’s Blue Streak, which sparks Debate #3 on what is or isn’t an action movie.

It's the season's last show, stuffed with the John Singleton vs Spike Lee debate, Black actress colorism, the enigma named Clifton Powell, Top Five, Six Degrees, emails, and more. Oh yeah -- and we watched Ice Cube's Friday After Next; so that happened.

O (2001) Nov 23, 2023
