On this episode of Four All Nerds, we discussed a
film that I cannot believe I have to say I
actively hated trash and what's up, y'all? Welcome back to
(00:23):
another episode of the four All Nerds show. It's your Boy,
DJ Ben I mean aka Hallou Jordan Ready Hater won

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Actually, somebody commented on our YouTube they're talking about our review,
well mainly your review of The Long Walk, and they
said there was a bag of vance character up in
that joint, which made me bring back slap of Vans.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Talking about.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Sure it a magical negro kind of but not really
because everybody got the bad ones.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah, I mean, you can still be a magical negro
and catch a bad one.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
That's true, though magical negroes make you well, I guess
that maybe not the negro, but.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Absolved you of counting the bad one.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Look at the great magical Negro of all time, John Coffee.
You know, boss, I'm all tired. Yeah, what.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Happened to him? You know everybody else makes it out great?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
John Coffee gotta roll over and die.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
No, you don't understand.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I actually saw that film when I was incarcerated, so
that became a running joke for us.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I'm dog tired.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Roll over to face the wall, small, Some don't tie
rolled over and face the wall, because that's what he
always did.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
He always rolled over, face the wall. Some don't time.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
All right, all right, this is.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
For all nerds faults. I know, for a lot of
y'all out there. It has been a crazy week, you
know what I mean. We are out here seeing people
mourning the death of Jason and Freddy.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
You know, it's wild, fam.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
You know, I have just seen people out here like, yo,
my fisto got killed.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Dog, You know what I mean? People upset?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
It's crazy, yo, ma, fam.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah, you know I didn't really you know, that was
a problem.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
That's all we got for y'all.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yeah, but I can say on that, you know, that
was interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
The more interesting news. I want to say this, and
this has nothing to do with what you just said.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Y'all fuck with us heavy, right, Like y'all like what
you hear. You know that we're bringing you reviews, interviews,
and just a point of view that you don't see
anywhere else on the internet. When it comes to thinking
about fandom and entertainment from us, I say people, not
just people. Call it black folks who got something to say,
and I would love to see us go to higher heights, right.
(03:21):
I want y'all to push up on some of these folks.
And when I say these folks, I mean hell at
this point, Tyler Perry at this point. But I want
you to push up on some of these people who
got money and studios and access and just be like bruh.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
You know, would be cool if y'all.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Put four all nerds on your network, whether it's a
TV network, whether it's a larger radio network, whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I mean, we really should be on TV. You know,
you get this, Melani right here.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
But the fact is, I think that a lot of
the blessings we've gotten up till this point has been
because the people who have supported us, who have been
loud and vocal, who have said, hey, no, I want
you to come through, who have told other people about us,
and then people find out. And I just want to
reach out again to everybody listening, everybody who supports us,
(04:06):
everyone who's ever bought a shirt or shared the show,
to continue to do that, to be loud and vocal
about us. You see an opportunity where people are looking
for people like us me and Ben.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I mean were for podcasters.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
You're looking for people who are or they say, oh,

whatever the fuck it is. I'm looking for y'all support,

Reminds me of Mellow, like someone I've met where it's

him or like you you know, like saying thing where
it's like and it's always been weird for me when
I meet these people as a grown man, and I'm like, oh,
this dude's you.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Know, that's really a good person, really a good friend. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, it's really interesting to do that, but he's definitely
one of them. So yeah, Well that we talked about
those reviews, and today we've got another review.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Man. Oh no, y'all, I'm.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
This is going to be a full on spoiler review.
I'm gonna stay away from a lot of if there
are any spoilers that aren't in trailers, I've been noticing
the trailers yet a little bit longer and longer.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Now. Yeah, the embargo will be up by the time
this episode drops.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Okay, okay, And that means you're saying, well, fuck you
because I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I'm gonna I'm gonna let you know what we do.
I'm not going to, but I'm going this is one.
This is something like, this is going to be an
interesting review, and I'm gonna I'm gonna preface it all right.
I'm talking about the film One Battle after Another, starring
Leonardo DiCaprio, Tianna Taylor, Gina Hall, Chompin who I did
(07:49):
not know which I'll walk up and that joint was
in its.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Chasing who plays the the biracial daughter of Leo and Tianna,
which I just want to say, her name is fucking fire.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
You know where her name came from? No? What? All right?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I just found this out before a while I was
ready reading about this film, and this is a true story.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Someone had the leak.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Her parents named her after doctor Chase Meridian, who's a
Batman villain from.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Not only have My Dead asked.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I'm not done, doctor Chase Meridian, who's one of the
Batman villains from like the one with mister Freeze, Like
you're not even one of the good joints. And then
where do you think Infinity comes from? If her name
comes from Batman.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Some DC related tone?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Now, I think, come.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
On, man, what was what was popping in Infinity around
that time?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Where were people going? What movie said? Infinity? To Infinity and.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yes is named as a combination combination of Batman villain
and to Infinity and Beyond.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
True story. Her real name is Chase Infinity Paine.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Her parents hipp or I mean she's young, too younger, She's.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Young, way, way younger.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
The funny thing is those movies came about five years
before she was even born, so they were just holding
on to that, like you know, they just loved them
like that.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I mean, okay, Orange story aside, I still think as
a fire.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Can put in fire, it's Chase in cinity pain. Like
someone was saying, al read it. If she ever starts
on like a hell Raiser movie, she just needs to
go by Chase pain, you know, is about that was
really good?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
All right, So you saw one battle of another.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
First of all, I have really been looking forward to
this film because the stars, my faith Leo DiCaprio of course,
and my other fave, my my patronist, Tianna Taylor. So
matronis whatever where it is, girl.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
That's my girl, that's my you know.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I love her from an art perspective, love her from
fashion and just everything.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
She does, like incredibly beautiful woman that too, so super talented,
you know, just everything.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, when it comes to Tiana, I'm no better than
a man.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But that being said, like I'm what I am until
you texted me earlier today, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Saying I remember when I first saw the trailer. I
can't remember what we saw for, but I was like ooh,
And I remember even seeing the trailer though. My first
thought when I was like, oh, this is dope. And
then when they said directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, that
was my first time.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I was like, we'll.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
See what Paul Thomas Anderson do that.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
He's done a lot of great things, but then he's
done some mid stuff too, and then a lot of
his I won't say.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Mid because let me see what he's done.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yeah, Magnolia is one of my favorites. Buggie Knights. One
of my favorites is I never finished. There will be
Blood because I just was done.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
He's a music video director too, yep, noticing okay, shout
out too long walk. You have these music video directors
who are doing films to varying degrees of success, but
they really jumping heavy into films.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, but you know Paul Thomas you can't. I mean,
he's been doing movies forever. He is a movie dude.
Like he's done. You know, this is his tenth film.
He's not jumping in like this. But man, no, no,
he did you know Tom Cruises and man no he is.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
This is like yeah, yeah, but that was also like
ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Right, Yeah, but he's been steady doing movies ever since.
He don't don't as far as I know, he's not
jumping back in unless it's like some big artists. That
what I'm said, I'm looking go ahead. Continuing that being said,
Paul Thomas Anderson PTA is revered as a filmmaker. He's dope.
Don't get me wrong. I was excited. I love Leonardo DiCaprio,
I loved Tianna Taylor. The premise of this revolutionary I
(11:39):
didn't know the exact story until I got into the theater.
That it's a story of two retired revolutionaries who have
you know, been past the prime, and then their daughter
gets into some trouble from an enemy from their past
and they have to come back. That's the basic premise.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
So I was.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Thinking going into the movie, this would be a movie
about you know, one battle after another about revolution you know.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Them chasing them down all of a sudden and you know,
like sucking up. They peace and now they're trying to
get They're like, yo, they're just trying to live their life.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
That's washed individuals kind of. That's what I got out
of it.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So, Okay, sitting down in the theater, you know, I'm excited.
It's a big giant imats for at the Lincoln. It's incredible,
you know how it is. And it starts off and
it looks beautiful, and the very beginning of the film,
the intro is Tiana scoping out this immigration detention center, okay,
(12:36):
and I'm like, oh fitting, and I'm about old right,
I'm like, oh, this is about to get lit. And
this doesn't you know that that point is not taking
place in modern top This is a flashback to the past.
So I'm like, all right, this is lit. And then
they're breaking into the detention center and her Leo and everybody,
and I'm like, wow, this movie is really brave to
be doing this type of stuff and showing people actually
doing it right then.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
And then two minutes later I'm like, wait, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Oh no?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And then ten minutes later I turned my partners I
think I hate this film, and then it.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Just got worse and worse.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
And I don't normally, as someone who's worked in Hollywood,
I believe that every film being made is a miracle
because it's just a very difficult system for creative individuals
and for creativity to flourish that and so I don't
ever call things trash. That being said, I feel that
(13:31):
one battle of another is one of the most cynical,
and I'm a person who despises cynicism, like I think
it is one of our biggest problems as a society,
and I definitely cannot stand seeing it from a sixty
five year old white man.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Without saying, plot lines, what what did.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
It do within fifteen minutes that had you question in
your life?
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Like, oh my god, it was?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
It was, like what happened?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
There's a lot of very questionable things done with two
of the black women in this film, including Tianna Taylor
and another woman whose name I will reveal right here
as Jungle. And this black woman, who is supposed to
be a strong revolutionary, is quite proud to call herself
Jungle an attempt to rob a bank in a mini
(14:27):
skirt and heels whilst streaming I'm on doing some set
of off shit, and look at my face because I'm
a strong black woman, Jungle Pussy, you should see my face.
I'm a revolutionary trying to take down the system. But
I'm gonna pull my mask off so you can see
my face while I'm robbing a bank in high heels
(14:49):
and a mini skirt.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Well, listen. In Jungle Pussy's defense, I don't know it's
the same.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
There is a rapper called Jungle Pussy, like an actual
real life rapper, but I don't think they're on the
same what there really is a life jungle.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
And that's something I could expect, But for a revolutionary
to get up in front of a room full of
white people and call themselves Jungle Pussy and be proud
of this while again they're the only one in high heels.
The bake robbery goes a rise, most dude, and they're
forced to run, as you would expect at some point
(15:23):
you're going to do. You're wearing a high heels and
a tight mini skirt.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Running.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
There ain't no running why?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
And that's supposed to be like an art film or
something like.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
At certain point, I thought it was supposed to be satire,
you know, But then I'm reading about it and it's
never mentioned that this is supposed to be satire.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
People have been comparing it to Doctor Strangelove, and I
saw somebody say it was a mix of Doctor Strange Love,
which is a Stanley Kubert film. Doctor Strange Love is
a famous Stanley Kubert film. It's black and white. It's
basically about nuclear war it's called Doctor Strange Love or
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb,
And it's a pure satire.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
It is a brilliant film.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Well, he names Kubrick as one of his inspirations as
a filmmaker.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, I mean, in general, Kubrick confluences everyone. And I'm
not sure that the satire I missed it. And again
I didn't find the satire as much as I found
it cynical. I do not enjoy seeing films about revolution
where it is, oh, well, this is how it's going
(16:32):
to be, there is no hope. I do not enjoy
seeing films about revolution where black women are over sexed maniacs,
and yet they come from a long as we've seen
in the trade, from a long line of revolutionaries. Her
(16:54):
mother tells Leonardo that she he is not fit to
be with her. But for me, Tiana and Leo are
both insane socio paths in this film, And I mean
Tiana is even like Tiana is just like an over
sex maniac.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
It is I mean, but they show her shooting that
machine gun with her belly out.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Like fucking for the movie was just so they could
have that image.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
A reason behind it Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
That is another problem of this movie. There's no real
reason behind anything. There is no cause and effect. Things
happen at one point after they are at the very
This is all in the first fifteen minutes after they
rob this, uh not rob after they break into this
detention center. They break into the detention center. They're driving
away in their glory. Tiana and Leo are kissing in
(17:45):
the back seat and Tiana asked him for some reason,
streaming as she asked him, do you only fuck with
me because you like you like black women? Or do
you like black women you like me or something like that. Remember,
they broke up a detention center. What this has to
do with anything, I don't know. But at the same time,
Jungle Pussy is in the front seat with a machine
gun shooting it out the window. Like but there's no
(18:10):
repercussions from this. There's no scene where the cops pull
up on them as a black woman is.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Driving down the street shooting a machine gun out the window.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
You mean, its just scenes to look cool. It It
just seems to look cool. Okay, what about Okay, Sean Penn,
Regina Hall, Oh my.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
God, Sean's character har what Harris vanishes about thirty minutes
in the movie, and it's one of those things where
it's like they don't even give a shit to let
you know what happened to him.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
They just expect you to forget that what Harris was
in this movie, Oh shit.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Like there's literally a scene in him being shot at
and putting on a gas mask, you know, because there's
fire all around him, and he puts on the gas mask,
and that's the last time we see you with Harris.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
I hated this film.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I cannot think of a film that I've hated this
much in a long time. There's a trans character who
portrays the rest of the characters. Leonardo DiCaprio mates a
silly dadamn joke because he's too you know, you can't
get with what his daughter is living through these days,
and then his daughter trans friend betrays her.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
I fucking hate this movie. Oh no, I hated it.
Not to see it next week in every level possible.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I hated that Regina Hall is under using that she
has to do her Damn Regina Hall crying face, you know,
again and again through all these movies. I really cannot
stand what was done to Tianna Taylor's character in that
jungle puzzy ship and like to be in a room
a theater full of mainly white critics and hear them
laughing at when did they They laughed so many times
(19:45):
when I was cringing.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
So it felt like we were the joke.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
It felt like and revolution was a joke, and that
black people are just over sex monsters. It's a black people,
Regina Hall ain't over sex. It's either that or they're magical.
Benicio del Toro shows up as a magical lab. He
has one of the best roles. But he is a
(20:09):
magical Latin who saves these white people from their ignorance.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Benicio del Toro this movie.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Yes, Benicio del Toro.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I mean did he do any sense? Did he do anything?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I mean he's literally called a sense, which is also weird. Yeah,
which is also weird. I mean he you know, he
is a sense. You know he does he's a teacher
at the end of the day.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
No, he's a dojo.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
He teaches us at a door. But so he is
a sense. But he is also just this magical Latin
who saves the day when they need him and it vanishes.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
What's it?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Fuck? I hate this film?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
How long was the film?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Damn near three hours?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Every shot felt like it was ten seconds too long,
every single Why.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Is this so long that someone didn't didn't pull the
reins on that one?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Oh yeah, it's his most expensive movie ever. I mean
obviously with people like Leonardo, you're spending money. I just
saw an ad during money in that football, So they
really are trying to make this movie into something that's
not going to be. I can promise you that there
is no way this shit hits because it's such a
baiting switch. There's not one battle after another in this film.
It's going to be straight like, not even a there's
(21:17):
not even there's not even really.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Like are therey good action scenes?
Speaker 4 (21:25):
No? There is one cool.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
On Imax is one moment of it wasn't even car
chasers trying to like them running away in a car
look kind of cool because it's on Imax, But it
wasn't anything that I'm like.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Oh, ship, I have got to see that secrets again at.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
What you already said, the dialogue was I guess horrendous,
But how is that horrendous? Just I mean based on
what you said that they'd be saying or can't?
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I mean the ship like the juggle blizzy and ship
like that.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
That whole speech this woman gives with horrendous you know,
it's just nonsensical. So much stuff is nonsensical. Where I
get maybe it's supposed to be said tire, but again
it felt like a cynical fucking look at things Like,
I don't like a sixty five year old filmmaker having
to make or have his character make a joke about
(22:12):
oh are they using den I can't figure this out.
You're you are a revolutionary from whatever time. That means
you're a progressive person. That means you should have been
hanging around trans people in the nineteen whatever the fuck.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Not that they THEMN joke this economy, this economy.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
And then to have the one trans character, I mean,
I mean literally, they are the trans character betray Chase
in Finnity's character straight up. Everyone else stands by that
one folds like a fucking belt.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Buckles like a belt, buckle, like a belt, Like immediately
just gave up the goods, like oh yeah, here you go,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
But this is what happened.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Like they made the point to put the trans character
in the movie just so I can betray the.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Heroin heroin and we know we hate that.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Fans and for all nerds know, I have a rule
that I've been implementing lately.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
If a movie in the if I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Ever want to see the first fifteen minutes of a
film again, it's probably not going to be a good film.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
I was actively hating.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
This movie within first fifteen minutes, like I had so
many if I ever see this Paul Thomas and its
some motherfucker questions. You know, within the first fifteen minutes
that I knew that I was doing that really really
disliked the rest of this film, and it did nothing
to ever disprove that thought. I cannot stand cynicism.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Folks.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
There's a quote I wanted to read. It's one of
my favorite quotes ever from Conan O'Brien. It basically helped
save my life and Conan O'Brien this was when he
was going off Yeah, this is when you. I met
ConA one time and I'm so mad I didn't get
to tell about this, and hopefully one day I get
to meet him again because this was in his last
episodes when he was going off the air, and he said.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Thank you enough for the kindness to me. I'll think
about it for the rest of my life. And all
I ask is one thing, and this is I'm asking
is particularly if young people that watch, please do not
be cynical. I hate cynicism, for the record, It's my
least favorite quality.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
It doesn't lead anywhere.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were
going to get. But if you work really hard and
you're kind, amazing things will happen.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I have that last line about work really hard and
being kind written on my wall right here. That's how
important that was to me.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yo, what's up, fanfam It is I Tatiana King, and
I want you all to know that I need you
to do me a favorite.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Please share this show.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
You're listening to us, you're watching us, but your gate
key thing, and I don't understand why you're doing that.
I really need you to share with your friends, share
with your mama, share with your cousins, share with everybody,
because if you're like me, love to share the joy
and it's really important that you do that. So please
tell people about four All nerds, I love you.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
That's why I'm so proud of things like Superman and
Fantastic four, because it takes so much more to be
a writer to create hope than it does to be
a writer to reflect what you already see in this
fucked up world.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
Oh brother, the guy stacks well if the other flatplat
tomato critics, so you got a tomato means good and
my tomato and so flat.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
As most Paul Thomas Anderson's films have, it does have
good cinematography, just the majority of the shots went on
for far too long, because the film itself went on
for far too long.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
He said, Okay, well, guys, God damn, I will be
seeing it next week, and uh, you know, we'll get
my two cents on it.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
As a black woman, especially one that.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
You are going to be infuriated.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I mean, I was infuriated by how the black women
was portraying the Mickey seventeen.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
So I wonder that was probably away from this.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
So let's talk about some something more positive.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
This is positive or still said, it's both.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, it's super positive and still super like in this
year of our Lord Tweine.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Oh god, I ned you know what you're gonna say.
And I watched the speech the Emmys.
Speaker 2 (26:30):

Speaker 4 (27:24):

read a great script like that, it just especially after
you've seen it, it just heightens everything and you can

Speaker 2 (27:49):
So other good news shout out to Owen Cooper, who
won the Emmy for our Standing Supporting Actor in a
limited anthology series for adolescents. He I believe it's only fifteen,
so he's actually the youngest winner of that.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Also the guy I think who plays well, the guy
way said Mail his father, he also won.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Come to find out, I didn't notice. He's also Swedish
and Jamaican descent, which is cool.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I knew that, yeah, because he was from Boardwalk Empire,
so I've known about him. I've been watching him for
a long time now, and that I found that out
like after Boardwalk. But I was like, oh, because yeah,
he's very like it, you know, It's like he's definitely.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
He's very like because he's passing. He's what called pass
because I had no idea, but yes, Owen, Owen is
in d fifteen and he is the youngest ever male
acting winner in Emmy history, so he made history.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Also making history is now listen. I love sever seventh.
I love it and separate sweat to listen.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I know seventh sweat too, and I was so happy,
mister milchick himself, Chamel Tillman.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
He won for.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Best Supporting Drama Actor Male Drama Actor. He's the first
black man in the history of the Emmys to win it.
And I think they said that's the last category where
a black.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
But you know what's said is it's not the last
for Latin, it's not the last for Asian.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
It's it's the same conversation that keeps coming up.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Nigga, aren't you ashamed that in twenty five y'all saying this.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
No, we're not.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Y'all are shamed the Emmys and everybody else. No, they're not.
We know they answer the questions. It's a rhetorical question.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Another, they are not ashamed of anything.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
He deserved that.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
I will say that his speech was amazing.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
His speech is amazing.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
His mom oh my god, like you know, and.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
He's so real, like it's so black, Like he was
just like my first agriculture was my mind. Basically, you know,
I'm paraphrasing. He was just like, you're not gonna go
out there and embarrass me. You better act like you
got sense. Every every black kid, oh damn near every
black kid in the Barica knows them words, you understand.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I mean that my mom, you know, rest of her soul,
that was you know, and actually her birthday was the
September eleventh. It's a happy birthday, mommy. And she was
my first acting coach, like I got an acting at
a very young age and.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Movie direct thing.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
And my mom was the one who was like, you
can do all that, you know, and would always And
my mom was an actor, so I was always emulating
her anyway. So yeah, that that that speech, I was,
you know, in tears like it was beautiful.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
It was absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
And you know, I guess and that has I said
at the top, you know, good and bad stuff right
like it's it's it's great that you want. I'm all
for that, but it's alcial just like damn, I means,
here we go, you know with the typical stuff like
we're still talking about like why are we still making
first all these years later?
Speaker 4 (30:44):
The studio cleaned up?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
The studio is absolutely Tim Apple was I like to
call him Tim Apple was there, you know, nodding, and
you know what's so strange to me? But I mean
just and just just to detour a little bit, how
tech has infiltrated Hollywood, like Amazon, Apple, the rest of number.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
When I say, like, like everyone else old tech take
over the world tech, No, really like completely infiltrated. To
see and not to say that's the first time he's
been there, but to see Tim fucking Cook sitting there
with the rest of the suits, the Apple suits, and
it's just like they are, yes, giving a platform for
stuff you want to see, but it's also just like
it's so so rapid it too, because it's just like,
(31:27):
but they they doing stuff with our data and they're
doing they have some secret shit going on to like
it's it's the wildest thing.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
It's like they they're.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Controlling media in so many different ways, like it's it's scary.
It's I have no other word of it besides it's
like it's lightweight scary.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Mm hmm, it's it's it's We've always had different type
of robber bands running this country.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
It's just a different but the level of reach, like.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Like this controls what you see on TV. You understand,
like the level of reach is wild.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I always say, you know, I will say this till
the end of time. It always goes back to the wire.
One of my favorite lines on the wire spoken by
Slim Charles is the game ain't changed.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
It's John Mofius, it always.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
That's a fact, and that's the word that's.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
On the studio though, I want to say, because I'm
actually rewatching it because I got preview copies of it
before it came out, and I burned through it, and
I knew it was good, but I felt like I
burned through it, so.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
I started rewatching the season and it is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Sorry, the studio, the studio, Oh yeah, I gotta see that.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
It's our Apple TV. It really, it really deserved a
lot of those words. I mean, thirteen is crazy. Yeah,
but I love Seth and it's a really great show.
And then the way the majority, not even the majority.
Pretty much every shot of the show is a super
long shot like they do all kinds of extended shots
(33:00):
through it.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
A lot of the show.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
One episode, I think is a completely one shot throughout
the whole episode.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
So it is it. You know, technically, it's very well done.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
It's really funny, and you get that insider look at
Hollywood that I've experienced where it's like, yeah, this is
really how it goes down, and this is the insanity.
They have one episode where they're trying to cast the
kool Aid Man. I'll just rewatch because they're doing a
kool Aid film and they have this huge debate over
is it racist to make ice Cube the kool Aid Man,
(33:30):
and then they end up making the whole cast black
and then they're like, oh no, this is racist, and
you know what, say.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
The funniest thing.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
It's a great show like that, That's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
So it really well deserved it and the cameos everything,
it's it's like a smart ass Entourage and I think
they even make a reference about that at well yeah, yeah,
because it's not all the Hollywood cameos.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
But it's a little more smarter than Entourage was much.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
I loved a few more highlights. Stephen Colbert.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
They that he got the Emmy, you know, and it's
interesting you're getting the Emmy after you getting canceled on CBS,
which is which is I saw that coming, but like
it's deserved. The speech the great Felicip Rashad gave about
Malcolm Jamal Warner, like you know that that was painful.
It was absolutely painful, and it's also just like like
(34:21):
that's one of our queens of of our black culture
in America, right Like to see her saying so regally
and talking about her son or TV son, but talking
about her son like that, that's that shit hurt right now.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
We didn't we didn't really have to talk about Malcolm
Jamal Warner much.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
And you know, it's like that's one of those things
for me that is like when it happened, I don't
think I was even I just that, but I didn't
I wasn't ready to reconcile what that meant.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
You know, it's THEO. THEO was the coolest nigg in
the world to me. You know, I'm going on the
trail I wanted to Gordon Coatrell. You know.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
It was THEO and Dwayne Wayne, like, they were my
two two of my biggest influences as black men of
what it meant to be a young black man. And
I mean THEO was like a few as older me,
and so I would just watch The Cosby Show and
just you know, think of all those scenarios. I mean,
the other fucking day, I'm sitting here because I'm thinking
about a changing career right now, or not a career,
(35:23):
but you know, changing positions at a job and that
episode where THEO is like, oh, I'll just do this
with my money and mister Hudson breaks him down about
how money is and you know, and he's like, okay,
well then you know you're gonna start paying rent here
and makes him rent, you.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Know, and has nothing monopoly money, yes.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
And when he had nothing in the room and Rudy's
running him for money.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
And all this stuff and that you know that episode,
you know to this day, like it's part of my
life and it's THEO and then like beyond that, Malcolm
Jerar Warner was just such an incredibly talented individual on
so many levels and was just such a good human being.
Like I have so many friends who knew him personally,
(36:06):
and to see their testimonies about him, it.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Was just And he was such an impactful orator, like
especially like later in life, like when you know, like
I don't know if you've seen any of his speeches.
I'm sure you haven't seen any his speeches or talks
that he's given, but deeply pro black, yes, loudly and
proudly pro black, and very eloquent and expressive in how
(36:29):
he he illustrated his blackness and his love for black
excuse me, black black life and black culture.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
And it's like, damn out of.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Anybody that y'all could have took Lord, like why my
feel right? And I remember when it happened. Everyone's kind
of seeing it similar like out of anybody, Homeboy other
bone boy was right there, why you have to take him? Right?
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Like?
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Oh man? Yeah, so it was hard.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
You know, it was like a very emotional point in
the show where you know when when Alicia started speaking
s like.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
When you were growing up, we were still watching The
Coffee Show.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Right, yeah, they was coming on reruns crazy like right,
you know you know what I'm saying. I learned about
COT through reruns and I and I.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Saw and they showed everything from the very beginning.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Like I guess it started in the eighties or something
to like the later times when you know, a Raven
like like when I was up, when I was coming up,
like Raven was already a part of the show.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
So Raven Simone rather excuse me.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Raven Simone was when I first realized the new cute kid. Mean, yeah,
I didn't know about that, you know. That was my
first supposed to the show, jumping the shark because I
got it immediately when Raven came on, I was like, oh,
this show, dud I hated it was.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
A little richie from a family matters.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Ian Raven dog and I get it, she was super
talented all that, but I was like, I've already seen this,
damn it, Like you can't replace Rudy, and I knew
Rudy had outgrown her cuteness and it was just terrible.
But I got out a double show by that point
because I knew, but she she was so good.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
Raven was incredible on that show. Was talking about her.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
I mean that the Malcolm was on the View or
whatever show she's going, and he was like, you know,
Cosby went off stripped every day. That's all Bill did
was just go off stripped and freestyle stuff. And Raven
was able to keep up with him. And this girl
can't even read, yeah, and she would just flip you know,
(38:38):
and and and she's sitting there like ya, I don't
even remember those days. I don't know how I was
doing that stuff. You know, she chal go back and
forth with Cosby like boom boom boom.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yeah uh and also just you know, salutes to Heavier
Bardem as well as Hannah heind Benderavim you know who.
You know, he's warning the Kefka, and he was just like,
you know, he's saying his free power.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
He was just like, I know my decasion and I
will never work with some company now that are not
are not condemning the general side in Israel.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
In Gussa, thank you, Hannah ein Bender, thank you for
being a white woman being loud about what's going on.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Thank you for saying she said, go birds, fuck Ice
and free Palestine.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
After the show's over, there's usually a press room where
the winners going to and they get like it's like
a junket where a bunch of reporters ask the questions.
And they had asked her about that, like oh, well,
why'd you say that? And she was just like, I
would be remiss, and I'm paraphrasing, she said, I would
be remiss as a Jewish woman, as a Jewish person
not to talk about the genocide happening in Palestine and Gaza.
(39:47):
She mentioned, you know, she got friends and Goza and
all us, but but she really just said, like we
really need to separate being Jewish from Israel as an
ethno cultural state because A and that's what I can
talk like you. Having criticism or being completely against Israel
has nothing to do with being an anti Semite, has
nothing to do with not liking Jewish people or hate
(40:09):
Jewish is not the same and it's not equitable. Israel
does not stand for all Jewish people, and a Jewish
person who's on the right side of history will tell
you that all day, all all night, as Hannah did
on the Emmys themselves. So I salute you for doing that,
and that's all I be asking them.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
White people, just be loud and vocalized.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
I like that y'all in the street throwing sandwiches at
fucking ice.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Do the fuck y'all gotta do.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Do what y'all gotta do anything, y'all not gonna get
killed for it.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Just do it. That's the thing, And that's that will
get killed for that.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Too. They shot white kids to Kent State.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Never forget, white people do not have to worry about
being at a traffic stop and getting killed. White people
can generally speak their mind and not worry about.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Getting killed in this country.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Generally, generally we've seen that be the opposite. But hey,
you know you yourself. But that being said, I need
white people to speak up.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
This is your time to shine, straight up.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Shout out to white people winning as well The Pit
one for Best Series. And I just want to shout
that out because one of my brothers, Evan Allen, just
to say, I cannot pronounce your last name.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
Brother.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
You know that he's an Ethiopian. This my brother, though,
My man. Evan Allen is a recurring role on the
Pit and he'll be back for season two, so I'm
super proud of him and super proud of that show.
Put up my g Emmy winner. Call you an Emmy
winner now, Evan, look at that real quick?
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Ben, have you you've watched The Witcher on Netflix?
Speaker 4 (41:42):
Right?
Speaker 1 (41:42):
Oh my god, I watched the trailer for the new one,
that's for sure. Lord of Mercy, Me don't like me.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
Don't like I know, I sound like a hater, But
Henry Cavill was slash is girl. Not to say that
no one else could ever do it.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
Someone else could definitely do it. Say it's just this guy.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
It ain't Liam, Sorry, Liam.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Lauren Fishburne not in the trailer, but I did see
him in a still shot. He is in season three
The Witcher, wearing what looks like a don king Wig.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Why is Laurence fishburning here?
Speaker 4 (42:20):
I heard?
Speaker 3 (42:21):
But what's he doing?
Speaker 4 (42:22):
Man?
Speaker 1 (42:23):
I realized Lawrence needs like he got some tax issues
or something going on.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
Brandkids, college, regious, somebody named reaches.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Look after seeing their Prentice, I realized that Lawrence definitely
will you know, take that check?
Speaker 4 (42:39):
And I am mad at Lawrence.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
He was He was Granddad in Blackish for the longest
and that was great.
Speaker 4 (42:45):
I just wish That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
I wish he would get something like like we're talking
about today. He needs to get a state farm commercial,
you know, something like that, you know, steady credit card
that millions of dollars just rolling in every year.
Speaker 4 (42:58):
That's what you need.
Speaker 3 (42:59):
Not Samuel got that one, I know.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
But for Lawrence, farm blocked this somewhere else where. Lauren's
to get his, you know, because he got the Voice
of God, so you know, you got to be able
to get that. Because I don't want to see you
do the Apprentice again, bro, I don't want to see
(43:21):
you do it, you know.
Speaker 4 (43:23):
And that Wig in the Witcher season is.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Like I said, I don't meet this out like a hater,
but I'm hating. I'm not pleased with Liam. I wasn't
pleased when they announced him last year. I'm not pleased
with what I saw. It just looked like somebody acting
with the you know, with a six thirteen wig as Carol.
Like it didn't look, it didn't feel anyways. It's gonna
be eight episodes and it comes on Netflix October thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (43:49):
I don't care right writing time for Halloween.
Speaker 4 (43:53):
Yeah, I'll be doing something else.
Speaker 3 (43:57):
So interesting. I'm like Netflix, No.
Speaker 4 (44:00):
Neflix, don't give a ship. I saw something make a
know this is it.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
They know, this is all.
Speaker 4 (44:06):
Right, this is a penultimate season. There'll be this in
one morning. They're done.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
I saw some of those make up. It was on threads.
They said that, here's Apple TV. Apple TV says you
have a new series starring four of your favorite OSCAR
nominated actors with this amazing, credible, talented director. Here's Netflix,
here's season fifteen and people cleaning toilets.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
It is. It's straight up.
Speaker 3 (44:35):
Blockles and that like they'll turn around and cancel ship
that is popular.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
They don't give a ship.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
Bill Caster, that's absolutely popular.
Speaker 1 (44:44):
Cost cutting. Cost cutting, that's all about. They don't care.
They don't care because something else for a place that
that's cheaper. People clean the toilets, fifteen seasons going. Why
should we spend money with people? Watch Love Island? You know,
why should we spend money?
Speaker 2 (45:01):
Well, not too much on Love Island because that that's
bringing out the superstar shoutout Alandria and everybody else.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
But let's let's let them be the superstars.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
They let them be the shut up, let them be
the super side of their side.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Don't talk about I don't know if is uh you
know headline in the movie Leonardo DiCaprio, Yet.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
She will be don't be surprised everywhere, but don't be surprised.
But uh no, no, But I get your point, Like
I just yeah, I don't know, man, No neflix.
Speaker 4 (45:31):
Don't give a ship. That's the point.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
It's so wild, Like nothing's driven by numbers anymore, driven by.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Everything is Everything is straight up driven by numbers. That's
what it is. It's nothing is driven by creativity or
by what people feel. Everything is numbers, right, you know.
My another brilliant series that I love so much is Fastly.
When you want to talk about what goes on in
Hollywood today is Barry And there's this one of my
(45:57):
favorite scenes in Berry is when a woman and launches
she's the showrunner of a new show. She launches it
that morning, you know, it goes up on the streaming
service that morning. It is the biggest hidden variety the
Hollywood trades. Everybody's loving it. By that afternoon, that bitch
is canceled and she goes to she goes into the
(46:18):
office and it's zach sister and tells her, I wish
I could do something, but I can't because the algorithm
said this is what must be done. And she's like,
you're the exec. You are literally the person who could
do something. The algorithm says, I can't. Show's canceled. Yeah,
(46:39):
and that is that's the reality. That is the reality.
Ninety five percent of the shit is just it's made
by algorithm. These days, and you know there's certain studios
like you know, you see it with a twenty four,
you know, stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (46:50):
People are still taking risks.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
I mean even I feel like this one bad of
another is a wild risk because this shit calls one
hundred and fifteen million, and they where you're trying to
advertise it all money and that.
Speaker 4 (47:00):
Football and I don't.
Speaker 1 (47:03):
I don't get it because it ain't that this is
you know, somebody loves money at football is not going
to see the film or when they do, they're yeah,
and when they get they're gonna be wild and weird.
But there's a lot of very weird sec ship.
Speaker 4 (47:21):
I don't want to go back.
Speaker 3 (47:22):
Please don't go back here, because it is I do
want to.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
I do want to go back and say one thing though,
Like I said, one of my biggest problems is because
of how much I love black women and how much
I love black people and I and that was like
the fact that Tiana Taylor said one Last Time comes
from a line of revolutionaries. And within the first fifteen
minutes we just before she gets preditant, obviously, Leo and
her set off a bomb to blow up with looks
(47:49):
like a power station or some ship, and Leo, who
is supposed to not be the sensible one, is sensibly
trying to get away and she's like, no, let's fuck
when the bomb.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
Goes off, I've heard enough before.
Speaker 4 (48:00):
We black women deserve better.
Speaker 3 (48:03):
Wow, that's mind boggling.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
Before we got out of here, I did want to
just again just we're trying to be on the up
and up salutes. It is New York Fashion Week salutes
to an actively black fashion show. They had actively Black
I don't know if you've seen the ads, always seen
it as for years on on Instagram at like a
at leisure where type of Brandon clothing line. They had
a bunch of civil rights icons walk their show. So
(48:31):
they had Ruby Bridges walk. They had the daughters of
Martin Luther King and Malcolm X walk together, doctor Bernie
Keen and doctor Shabbaz walking.
Speaker 3 (48:41):
They had Cecil Uh, Cecil Williams.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
They had Cecil Williams, who you know that that iconic
picture of the black man drinking from the whites only fountain.
They had him and he came out. What what song
did he come out to? Like, he's I Ain't Never scared,
That's what he came out to. I Ain't never scared.
And he had the shades on and he I mean,
it was so fire to see that.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
They also had.
Speaker 2 (49:02):
Hassie Benjamin Haith Junior, who designed the Junteine flag.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
He came out as well.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
There was a bunch of other people who came out,
but like, I just wanted to particularly note those folks
because it's just so refresh and again to see our
icons and see our leaders and you know people from
that time that actually wasn't that long ago, see them
getting their flowers and seeing people like just continue to
learn and again just the idea of what's what's happening
(49:29):
in this country today, you know, erasing, trying to erase history,
trying to erase the truth, trying to erase what's right
in front of you.
Speaker 3 (49:36):
Like, you can't erase these people. These people lived it.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
They're still alive, which again should give you the understanding
that shit was not a long time ago. One for example,
on Cecils shirt, Cecil Williams, the one that drank from
whites only fountain on his shirt was his picture from
that that that image I just mentioned.
Speaker 3 (49:50):
But in color, and I really liked that it was
in color.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
Like it's one of the things like during the Supper
Rights you always see these shits in black and white.
Speaker 3 (49:57):
And I remember years ago you and I were talking
about that.
Speaker 2 (49:59):
Yep, there are conversions of all those fucking pictures.
Speaker 4 (50:02):
Yeah, it's intentional.
Speaker 2 (50:04):
It's intentional to makes you think, oh, this is so
long agold and blah blah blah. Your grandparents, if your
grandparents still live, they lived through that.
Speaker 3 (50:11):
If you're not that your parents, my parents, your parents.
Speaker 4 (50:15):
My my dad.
Speaker 1 (50:16):
Was born in nineteen thirty nine, my mom was born
in nineteen forty three.
Speaker 4 (50:20):
They both lived through everything.
Speaker 2 (50:22):
Your parents lived through that, understand So again, kudos to
actively black.
Speaker 3 (50:29):
You know that shit was fire appreciated all of that.
Speaker 4 (50:31):
Oh yeah, I'm trying.
Speaker 3 (50:34):
To give you something positive.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
No, no, no, very positive, and thank you very much.
I was definitely very positive and thank you very much.
Like I said, I do want to go out on
a positive note. And that's like I said, why I
because as Oh no, I just do not. I will
and I still want to call the some trash and
I think it's very competently made. You know very well,
you know overall, it's just what it's saying is why.
(50:55):
I had some huge problem with that, and that's how I.
Speaker 4 (50:57):
Want to go out.
Speaker 1 (50:58):
I'm saying again like I have a huge hue problem
with cynicism, especially in this day and time we live
in today, Like I just do not believe to ever
give up, to ever think that this is the end,
to ever think that things can't change. Like I hate
that idea. I detest it. I fight against it with
(51:18):
every fiber of my being. Because again going back to
my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, my ancestors beyond
that have lived through worse. End of story, nothing is
new under the sun, and nothing you're seeing or experiencing
right now is any worse than what our ancestors have
gone through in this country or around the world for
(51:40):
that matter. So to you know, be a cynical person
to think that this is the end of things, or
that we cannot win, or that we cannot experience a
better life, or you out there yourself can't live a
better life. It's just you know, you're already giving up.
You've already lost a battle right there. And I cannot
because of someone who's battled depressed, someone who's been through that,
(52:01):
someone who's had to go through brief and loss on
a tremendous scale over the last five years. I just
know that what end of the day matters is waking
up every day and choosing to live a good life,
choosing to find happiness in the moments, choosing to think
about all the blessings that you have every second of
your life.

Sure it a magical negro kind of but not really
because everybody got the bad ones.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah, I mean, you can still be a magical negro
and catch a bad one.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
That's true, though magical negroes make you well, I guess
that maybe not the negro, but.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Absolved you of counting the bad one.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Look at the great magical Negro of all time, John Coffee.
You know, boss, I'm all tired. Yeah, what.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Happened to him? You know everybody else makes it out great?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
John Coffee gotta roll over and die.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
No, you don't understand.
Speaker 1 (01:51):

I'm dog tired.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Roll over to face the wall, small, Some don't tie
rolled over and face the wall, because that's what he

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
All right, all right, this is.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
For all nerds faults. I know, for a lot of
y'all out there. It has been a crazy week, you
know what I mean. We are out here seeing people
mourning the death of Jason and Freddy.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yeah, but I can say on that, you know, that
was interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
The more interesting news. I want to say this, and
this has nothing to do with what you just said.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Y'all fuck with us heavy, right, Like y'all like what
you hear. You know that we're bringing you reviews, interviews,
and just a point of view that you don't see
anywhere else on the internet. When it comes to thinking
about fandom and entertainment from us, I say people, not
just people. Call it black folks who got something to say,
and I would love to see us go to higher heights, right.
(03:21):
I want y'all to push up on some of these folks.
And when I say these folks, I mean hell at
this point, Tyler Perry at this point. But I want
you to push up on some of these people who
got money and studios and access and just be like bruh.

TV network, whether it's a larger radio network, whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I mean, we really should be on TV. You know,

Speaker 2 (03:46):

the blessings we've gotten up till this point has been
because the people who have supported us, who have been
loud and vocal, who have said, hey, no, I want
you to come through, who have told other people about us,
and then people find out. And I just want to
reach out again to everybody listening, everybody who supports us,

Speaker 1 (07:08):
This is going to be a full on spoiler review.
I'm gonna stay away from a lot of if there
are any spoilers that aren't in trailers, I've been noticing
the trailers yet a little bit longer and longer.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Now. Yeah, the embargo will be up by the time
this episode drops.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Okay, okay, And that means you're saying, well, fuck you
because I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I'm gonna I'm gonna let you know what we do.
I'm not going to, but I'm going this is one.
This is something like, this is going to be an
interesting review, and I'm gonna I'm gonna preface it all right.
I'm talking about the film One Battle after Another, starring
Leonardo DiCaprio, Tianna Taylor, Gina Hall, Chompin who I did
(07:49):
not know which I'll walk up and that joint was
in its.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Chasing who plays the the biracial daughter of Leo and Tianna,
which I just want to say, her name is fucking fire.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
You know where her name came from? No? What? All right?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I just found this out before a while I was
ready reading about this film, and this is a true story.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Someone had the leak.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Her parents named her after doctor Chase Meridian, who's a
Batman villain from.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Not only have My Dead asked.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I'm not done, doctor Chase Meridian, who's one of the
Batman villains from like the one with mister Freeze, Like
you're not even one of the good joints. And then
where do you think Infinity comes from? If her name
comes from Batman.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Some DC related tone?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Now, I think, come.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
On, man, what was what was popping in Infinity around
that time?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Where were people going? What movie said? Infinity? To Infinity and.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yes is named as a combination combination of Batman villain
and to Infinity and Beyond.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
True story. Her real name is Chase Infinity Paine.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Her parents hipp or I mean she's young, too younger, She's.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Young, way, way younger.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
The funny thing is those movies came about five years
before she was even born, so they were just holding
on to that, like you know, they just loved them
like that.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I mean, okay, Orange story aside, I still think as
a fire.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Can put in fire, it's Chase in cinity pain. Like
someone was saying, al read it. If she ever starts
on like a hell Raiser movie, she just needs to
go by Chase pain, you know, is about that was
really good?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
All right, So you saw one battle of another.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
First of all, I have really been looking forward to
this film because the stars, my faith Leo DiCaprio of course,
and my other fave, my my patronist, Tianna Taylor. So
matronis whatever where it is, girl.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
That's my girl, that's my you know.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I love her from an art perspective, love her from
fashion and just everything.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
She does, like incredibly beautiful woman that too, so super talented,
you know, just everything.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, when it comes to Tiana, I'm no better than
a man.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But that being said, like I'm what I am until
you texted me earlier today, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Saying I remember when I first saw the trailer. I
can't remember what we saw for, but I was like ooh,
And I remember even seeing the trailer though. My first
thought when I was like, oh, this is dope. And
then when they said directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, that
was my first time.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I was like, we'll.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
See what Paul Thomas Anderson do that.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
He's done a lot of great things, but then he's
done some mid stuff too, and then a lot of
his I won't say.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Mid because let me see what he's done.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yeah, Magnolia is one of my favorites. Buggie Knights. One
of my favorites is I never finished. There will be
Blood because I just was done.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
He's a music video director too, yep, noticing okay, shout
out too long walk. You have these music video directors
who are doing films to varying degrees of success, but
they really jumping heavy into films.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, but you know Paul Thomas you can't. I mean,
he's been doing movies forever. He is a movie dude.
Like he's done. You know, this is his tenth film.
He's not jumping in like this. But man, no, no,
he did you know Tom Cruises and man no he is.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
This is like yeah, yeah, but that was also like
ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Right, Yeah, but he's been steady doing movies ever since.
He don't don't as far as I know, he's not
jumping back in unless it's like some big artists. That
what I'm said, I'm looking go ahead. Continuing that being said,
Paul Thomas Anderson PTA is revered as a filmmaker. He's dope.
Don't get me wrong. I was excited. I love Leonardo DiCaprio,
I loved Tianna Taylor. The premise of this revolutionary I
(11:39):
didn't know the exact story until I got into the theater.
That it's a story of two retired revolutionaries who have
you know, been past the prime, and then their daughter
gets into some trouble from an enemy from their past
and they have to come back. That's the basic premise.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
So I was.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Thinking going into the movie, this would be a movie
about you know, one battle after another about revolution you know.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Them chasing them down all of a sudden and you know,
like sucking up. They peace and now they're trying to
get They're like, yo, they're just trying to live their life.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
That's washed individuals kind of. That's what I got out
of it.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So, Okay, sitting down in the theater, you know, I'm excited.
It's a big giant imats for at the Lincoln. It's incredible,
you know how it is. And it starts off and
it looks beautiful, and the very beginning of the film,
the intro is Tiana scoping out this immigration detention center, okay,
(12:36):
and I'm like, oh fitting, and I'm about old right,
I'm like, oh, this is about to get lit. And
this doesn't you know that that point is not taking
place in modern top This is a flashback to the past.
So I'm like, all right, this is lit. And then
they're breaking into the detention center and her Leo and everybody,
and I'm like, wow, this movie is really brave to
be doing this type of stuff and showing people actually
doing it right then.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
And then two minutes later I'm like, wait, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Oh no?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And then ten minutes later I turned my partners I
think I hate this film, and then it.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Just got worse and worse.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
And I don't normally, as someone who's worked in Hollywood,
I believe that every film being made is a miracle
because it's just a very difficult system for creative individuals
and for creativity to flourish that and so I don't
ever call things trash. That being said, I feel that
(13:31):
one battle of another is one of the most cynical,
and I'm a person who despises cynicism, like I think
it is one of our biggest problems as a society,
and I definitely cannot stand seeing it from a sixty
five year old white man.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Without saying, plot lines, what what did.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
It do within fifteen minutes that had you question in
your life?
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Like, oh my god, it was?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
It was, like what happened?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
There's a lot of very questionable things done with two
of the black women in this film, including Tianna Taylor
and another woman whose name I will reveal right here
as Jungle. And this black woman, who is supposed to
be a strong revolutionary, is quite proud to call herself
Jungle an attempt to rob a bank in a mini
(14:27):
skirt and heels whilst streaming I'm on doing some set
of off shit, and look at my face because I'm
a strong black woman, Jungle Pussy, you should see my face.
I'm a revolutionary trying to take down the system. But
I'm gonna pull my mask off so you can see
my face while I'm robbing a bank in high heels
(14:49):
and a mini skirt.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Well, listen. In Jungle Pussy's defense, I don't know it's
the same.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
There is a rapper called Jungle Pussy, like an actual
real life rapper, but I don't think they're on the
same what there really is a life jungle.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
And that's something I could expect, But for a revolutionary
to get up in front of a room full of
white people and call themselves Jungle Pussy and be proud
of this while again they're the only one in high heels.
The bake robbery goes a rise, most dude, and they're
forced to run, as you would expect at some point
(15:23):
you're going to do. You're wearing a high heels and
a tight mini skirt.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Running.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
There ain't no running why?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
And that's supposed to be like an art film or
something like.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
At certain point, I thought it was supposed to be satire,
you know, But then I'm reading about it and it's
never mentioned that this is supposed to be satire.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
People have been comparing it to Doctor Strangelove, and I
saw somebody say it was a mix of Doctor Strange Love,
which is a Stanley Kubert film. Doctor Strange Love is
a famous Stanley Kubert film. It's black and white. It's
basically about nuclear war it's called Doctor Strange Love or
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb,
And it's a pure satire.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
It is a brilliant film.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Well, he names Kubrick as one of his inspirations as
a filmmaker.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, I mean, in general, Kubrick confluences everyone. And I'm
not sure that the satire I missed it. And again
I didn't find the satire as much as I found
it cynical. I do not enjoy seeing films about revolution
where it is, oh, well, this is how it's going
(16:32):
to be, there is no hope. I do not enjoy
seeing films about revolution where black women are over sexed maniacs,
and yet they come from a long as we've seen
in the trade, from a long line of revolutionaries. Her
(16:54):
mother tells Leonardo that she he is not fit to
be with her. But for me, Tiana and Leo are
both insane socio paths in this film, And I mean
Tiana is even like Tiana is just like an over
sex maniac.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
It is I mean, but they show her shooting that
machine gun with her belly out.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Like fucking for the movie was just so they could
have that image.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
A reason behind it Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
That is another problem of this movie. There's no real
reason behind anything. There is no cause and effect. Things
happen at one point after they are at the very
This is all in the first fifteen minutes after they
rob this, uh not rob after they break into this
detention center. They break into the detention center. They're driving
away in their glory. Tiana and Leo are kissing in
(17:45):
the back seat and Tiana asked him for some reason,
streaming as she asked him, do you only fuck with
me because you like you like black women? Or do
you like black women you like me or something like that. Remember,
they broke up a detention center. What this has to
do with anything, I don't know. But at the same time,
Jungle Pussy is in the front seat with a machine
gun shooting it out the window. Like but there's no
(18:10):
repercussions from this. There's no scene where the cops pull
up on them as a black woman is.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Driving down the street shooting a machine gun out the window.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
You mean, its just scenes to look cool. It It
just seems to look cool. Okay, what about Okay, Sean Penn,
Regina Hall, Oh my.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
God, Sean's character har what Harris vanishes about thirty minutes
in the movie, and it's one of those things where
it's like they don't even give a shit to let
you know what happened to him.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
They just expect you to forget that what Harris was
in this movie, Oh shit.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Like there's literally a scene in him being shot at
and putting on a gas mask, you know, because there's
fire all around him, and he puts on the gas mask,
and that's the last time we see you with Harris.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
I hated this film.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I cannot think of a film that I've hated this
much in a long time. There's a trans character who
portrays the rest of the characters. Leonardo DiCaprio mates a
silly dadamn joke because he's too you know, you can't
get with what his daughter is living through these days,
and then his daughter trans friend betrays her.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
I fucking hate this movie. Oh no, I hated it.
Not to see it next week in every level possible.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I hated that Regina Hall is under using that she
has to do her Damn Regina Hall crying face, you know,
again and again through all these movies. I really cannot
stand what was done to Tianna Taylor's character in that
jungle puzzy ship and like to be in a room
a theater full of mainly white critics and hear them
laughing at when did they They laughed so many times
(19:45):
when I was cringing.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
So it felt like we were the joke.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
It felt like and revolution was a joke, and that
black people are just over sex monsters. It's a black people,
Regina Hall ain't over sex. It's either that or they're magical.
Benicio del Toro shows up as a magical lab. He
has one of the best roles. But he is a
(20:09):
magical Latin who saves these white people from their ignorance.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Benicio del Toro this movie.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Yes, Benicio del Toro.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I mean did he do any sense? Did he do anything?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I mean he's literally called a sense, which is also weird. Yeah,
which is also weird. I mean he you know, he
is a sense. You know he does he's a teacher
at the end of the day.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
No, he's a dojo.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
He teaches us at a door. But so he is
a sense. But he is also just this magical Latin
who saves the day when they need him and it vanishes.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
What's it?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Fuck? I hate this film?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
How long was the film?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Damn near three hours?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Every shot felt like it was ten seconds too long,
every single Why.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Is this so long that someone didn't didn't pull the
reins on that one?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Oh yeah, it's his most expensive movie ever. I mean
obviously with people like Leonardo, you're spending money. I just
saw an ad during money in that football, So they
really are trying to make this movie into something that's
not going to be. I can promise you that there
is no way this shit hits because it's such a
baiting switch. There's not one battle after another in this film.
It's going to be straight like, not even a there's
(21:17):
not even there's not even really.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Like are therey good action scenes?
Speaker 4 (21:25):
No? There is one cool.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
On Imax is one moment of it wasn't even car
chasers trying to like them running away in a car
look kind of cool because it's on Imax, But it
wasn't anything that I'm like.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Oh, ship, I have got to see that secrets again at.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
What you already said, the dialogue was I guess horrendous,
But how is that horrendous? Just I mean based on
what you said that they'd be saying or can't?
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I mean the ship like the juggle blizzy and ship
like that.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
That whole speech this woman gives with horrendous you know,
it's just nonsensical. So much stuff is nonsensical. Where I
get maybe it's supposed to be said tire, but again
it felt like a cynical fucking look at things Like,
I don't like a sixty five year old filmmaker having
to make or have his character make a joke about
(22:12):
oh are they using den I can't figure this out.
You're you are a revolutionary from whatever time. That means
you're a progressive person. That means you should have been
hanging around trans people in the nineteen whatever the fuck.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Not that they THEMN joke this economy, this economy.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
And then to have the one trans character, I mean,
I mean literally, they are the trans character betray Chase
in Finnity's character straight up. Everyone else stands by that
one folds like a fucking belt.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Buckles like a belt, buckle, like a belt, Like immediately
just gave up the goods, like oh yeah, here you go,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
But this is what happened.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Like they made the point to put the trans character
in the movie just so I can betray the.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Heroin heroin and we know we hate that.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Fans and for all nerds know, I have a rule
that I've been implementing lately.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
If a movie in the if I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Ever want to see the first fifteen minutes of a
film again, it's probably not going to be a good film.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
I was actively hating.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
This movie within first fifteen minutes, like I had so
many if I ever see this Paul Thomas and its
some motherfucker questions. You know, within the first fifteen minutes
that I knew that I was doing that really really
disliked the rest of this film, and it did nothing
to ever disprove that thought. I cannot stand cynicism.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Folks.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
There's a quote I wanted to read. It's one of
my favorite quotes ever from Conan O'Brien. It basically helped
save my life and Conan O'Brien this was when he
was going off Yeah, this is when you. I met
ConA one time and I'm so mad I didn't get
to tell about this, and hopefully one day I get
to meet him again because this was in his last
episodes when he was going off the air, and he said.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Thank you enough for the kindness to me. I'll think
about it for the rest of my life. And all
I ask is one thing, and this is I'm asking
is particularly if young people that watch, please do not
be cynical. I hate cynicism, for the record, It's my
least favorite quality.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
It doesn't lead anywhere.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were
going to get. But if you work really hard and
you're kind, amazing things will happen.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I have that last line about work really hard and
being kind written on my wall right here. That's how
important that was to me.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yo, what's up, fanfam It is I Tatiana King, and
I want you all to know that I need you
to do me a favorite.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Please share this show.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
You're listening to us, you're watching us, but your gate
key thing, and I don't understand why you're doing that.
I really need you to share with your friends, share
with your mama, share with your cousins, share with everybody,
because if you're like me, love to share the joy
and it's really important that you do that. So please
tell people about four All nerds, I love you.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
That's why I'm so proud of things like Superman and
Fantastic four, because it takes so much more to be
a writer to create hope than it does to be
a writer to reflect what you already see in this
fucked up world.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
Oh brother, the guy stacks well if the other flatplat
tomato critics, so you got a tomato means good and
my tomato and so flat.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
As most Paul Thomas Anderson's films have, it does have
good cinematography, just the majority of the shots went on
for far too long, because the film itself went on
for far too long.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
He said, Okay, well, guys, God damn, I will be
seeing it next week, and uh, you know, we'll get
my two cents on it.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
As a black woman, especially one that.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
You are going to be infuriated.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I mean, I was infuriated by how the black women
was portraying the Mickey seventeen.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
So I wonder that was probably away from this.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
So let's talk about some something more positive.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
This is positive or still said, it's both.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, it's super positive and still super like in this
year of our Lord Tweine.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Oh god, I ned you know what you're gonna say.
And I watched the speech the Emmys.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
The Emmys was last night you know, several the obvious
stuff really sweat the other night, particularly and Or. Andor

won Best Writing for particular episode which Tony did not
want to release the all of the strips to and
Or because he feared AI would be used to you know,
(27:09):
train AI. So but because of emmy consideration and other
a war consideration, they did release it. And Welcome to
the Rebellion is available online. It's the ninth episode or
the second season. I highly encourage everyone to go out
and read it. I've already read it.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
It is.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I mean I always tell people that, like when you
read a great script like that, it just especially after
you've seen it, it just heightens everything and you can
just you're like, fuck, man, this is you know, like
it's all on the page, It's right there, and that's
a great strip for aspiring screenwriters. I always tell people that.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
So other good news shout out to Owen Cooper, who
won the Emmy for our Standing Supporting Actor in a
limited anthology series for adolescents. He I believe it's only fifteen,
so he's actually the youngest winner of that.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Also the guy I think who plays well, the guy
way said Mail his father, he also won.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Come to find out, I didn't notice. He's also Swedish
and Jamaican descent, which is cool.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I knew that, yeah, because he was from Boardwalk Empire,
so I've known about him. I've been watching him for
a long time now, and that I found that out
like after Boardwalk. But I was like, oh, because yeah,
he's very like it, you know, It's like he's definitely.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
He's very like because he's passing. He's what called pass
because I had no idea, but yes, Owen, Owen is
in d fifteen and he is the youngest ever male
acting winner in Emmy history, so he made history.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Also making history is now listen. I love sever seventh.
I love it and separate sweat to listen.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I know seventh sweat too, and I was so happy,
mister milchick himself, Chamel Tillman.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
He won for.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Best Supporting Drama Actor Male Drama Actor. He's the first
black man in the history of the Emmys to win it.
And I think they said that's the last category where
a black.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
But you know what's said is it's not the last
for Latin, it's not the last for Asian.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
It's it's the same conversation that keeps coming up.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Nigga, aren't you ashamed that in twenty five y'all saying this.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
No, we're not.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Y'all are shamed the Emmys and everybody else. No, they're not.
We know they answer the questions. It's a rhetorical question.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Another, they are not ashamed of anything.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
He deserved that.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
I will say that his speech was amazing.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
His speech is amazing.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
His mom oh my god, like you know, and.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
He's so real, like it's so black, Like he was
just like my first agriculture was my mind. Basically, you know,
I'm paraphrasing. He was just like, you're not gonna go
out there and embarrass me. You better act like you
got sense. Every every black kid, oh damn near every
black kid in the Barica knows them words, you understand.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I mean that my mom, you know, rest of her soul,
that was you know, and actually her birthday was the
September eleventh. It's a happy birthday, mommy. And she was
my first acting coach, like I got an acting at
a very young age and.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Movie direct thing.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
And my mom was the one who was like, you
can do all that, you know, and would always And
my mom was an actor, so I was always emulating
her anyway. So yeah, that that that speech, I was,
you know, in tears like it was beautiful.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
It was absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
And you know, I guess and that has I said
at the top, you know, good and bad stuff right
like it's it's it's great that you want. I'm all
for that, but it's alcial just like damn, I means,
here we go, you know with the typical stuff like
we're still talking about like why are we still making
first all these years later?
Speaker 4 (30:44):
The studio cleaned up?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
The studio is absolutely Tim Apple was I like to
call him Tim Apple was there, you know, nodding, and
you know what's so strange to me? But I mean
just and just just to detour a little bit, how
tech has infiltrated Hollywood, like Amazon, Apple, the rest of number.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
When I say, like, like everyone else old tech take
over the world tech, No, really like completely infiltrated. To
see and not to say that's the first time he's
been there, but to see Tim fucking Cook sitting there
with the rest of the suits, the Apple suits, and
it's just like they are, yes, giving a platform for
stuff you want to see, but it's also just like
it's so so rapid it too, because it's just like,
(31:27):
but they they doing stuff with our data and they're
doing they have some secret shit going on to like
it's it's the wildest thing.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
It's like they they're.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Controlling media in so many different ways, like it's it's scary.
It's I have no other word of it besides it's
like it's lightweight scary.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Mm hmm, it's it's it's We've always had different type
of robber bands running this country.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
It's just a different but the level of reach, like.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Like this controls what you see on TV. You understand,
like the level of reach is wild.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I always say, you know, I will say this till
the end of time. It always goes back to the wire.
One of my favorite lines on the wire spoken by
Slim Charles is the game ain't changed.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
It's John Mofius, it always.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
That's a fact, and that's the word that's.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
On the studio though, I want to say, because I'm
actually rewatching it because I got preview copies of it
before it came out, and I burned through it, and
I knew it was good, but I felt like I
burned through it, so.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
I started rewatching the season and it is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Sorry, the studio, the studio, Oh yeah, I gotta see that.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
It's our Apple TV. It really, it really deserved a
lot of those words. I mean, thirteen is crazy. Yeah,
but I love Seth and it's a really great show.
And then the way the majority, not even the majority.
Pretty much every shot of the show is a super
long shot like they do all kinds of extended shots
(33:00):
through it.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
A lot of the show.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
One episode, I think is a completely one shot throughout
the whole episode.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
So it is it. You know, technically, it's very well done.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
It's really funny, and you get that insider look at
Hollywood that I've experienced where it's like, yeah, this is
really how it goes down, and this is the insanity.
They have one episode where they're trying to cast the
kool Aid Man. I'll just rewatch because they're doing a
kool Aid film and they have this huge debate over
is it racist to make ice Cube the kool Aid Man,
(33:30):
and then they end up making the whole cast black
and then they're like, oh no, this is racist, and
you know what, say.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
The funniest thing.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
It's a great show like that, That's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
So it really well deserved it and the cameos everything,
it's it's like a smart ass Entourage and I think
they even make a reference about that at well yeah, yeah,
because it's not all the Hollywood cameos.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
But it's a little more smarter than Entourage was much.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
I loved a few more highlights. Stephen Colbert.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
They that he got the Emmy, you know, and it's
interesting you're getting the Emmy after you getting canceled on CBS,
which is which is I saw that coming, but like
it's deserved. The speech the great Felicip Rashad gave about
Malcolm Jamal Warner, like you know that that was painful.
It was absolutely painful, and it's also just like like
(34:21):
that's one of our queens of of our black culture
in America, right Like to see her saying so regally
and talking about her son or TV son, but talking
about her son like that, that's that shit hurt right now.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
We didn't we didn't really have to talk about Malcolm
Jamal Warner much.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
And you know, it's like that's one of those things
for me that is like when it happened, I don't
think I was even I just that, but I didn't
I wasn't ready to reconcile what that meant.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
You know, it's THEO. THEO was the coolest nigg in
the world to me. You know, I'm going on the
trail I wanted to Gordon Coatrell. You know.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
It was THEO and Dwayne Wayne, like, they were my
two two of my biggest influences as black men of
what it meant to be a young black man. And
I mean THEO was like a few as older me,
and so I would just watch The Cosby Show and
just you know, think of all those scenarios. I mean,
the other fucking day, I'm sitting here because I'm thinking
about a changing career right now, or not a career,
(35:23):
but you know, changing positions at a job and that
episode where THEO is like, oh, I'll just do this
with my money and mister Hudson breaks him down about
how money is and you know, and he's like, okay,
well then you know you're gonna start paying rent here
and makes him rent, you.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Know, and has nothing monopoly money, yes.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
And when he had nothing in the room and Rudy's
running him for money.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
And all this stuff and that you know that episode,
you know to this day, like it's part of my
life and it's THEO and then like beyond that, Malcolm
Jerar Warner was just such an incredibly talented individual on
so many levels and was just such a good human being.
Like I have so many friends who knew him personally,
(36:06):
and to see their testimonies about him, it.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Was just And he was such an impactful orator, like
especially like later in life, like when you know, like
I don't know if you've seen any of his speeches.
I'm sure you haven't seen any his speeches or talks
that he's given, but deeply pro black, yes, loudly and
proudly pro black, and very eloquent and expressive in how
(36:29):
he he illustrated his blackness and his love for black
excuse me, black black life and black culture.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
And it's like, damn out of.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Anybody that y'all could have took Lord, like why my
feel right? And I remember when it happened. Everyone's kind
of seeing it similar like out of anybody, Homeboy other
bone boy was right there, why you have to take him? Right?
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Like?
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Oh man? Yeah, so it was hard.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
You know, it was like a very emotional point in
the show where you know when when Alicia started speaking
s like.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
When you were growing up, we were still watching The
Coffee Show.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Right, yeah, they was coming on reruns crazy like right,
you know you know what I'm saying. I learned about
COT through reruns and I and I.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Saw and they showed everything from the very beginning.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Like I guess it started in the eighties or something
to like the later times when you know, a Raven
like like when I was up, when I was coming up,
like Raven was already a part of the show.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
So Raven Simone rather excuse me.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Raven Simone was when I first realized the new cute kid. Mean, yeah,
I didn't know about that, you know. That was my
first supposed to the show, jumping the shark because I
got it immediately when Raven came on, I was like, oh,
this show, dud I hated it was.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
A little richie from a family matters.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Ian Raven dog and I get it, she was super
talented all that, but I was like, I've already seen this,
damn it, Like you can't replace Rudy, and I knew
Rudy had outgrown her cuteness and it was just terrible.
But I got out a double show by that point
because I knew, but she she was so good.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
Raven was incredible on that show. Was talking about her.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
I mean that the Malcolm was on the View or
whatever show she's going, and he was like, you know,
Cosby went off stripped every day. That's all Bill did
was just go off stripped and freestyle stuff. And Raven
was able to keep up with him. And this girl
can't even read, yeah, and she would just flip you know,
(38:38):
and and and she's sitting there like ya, I don't
even remember those days. I don't know how I was
doing that stuff. You know, she chal go back and
forth with Cosby like boom boom boom.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yeah uh and also just you know, salutes to Heavier
Bardem as well as Hannah heind Benderavim you know who.
You know, he's warning the Kefka, and he was just like,
you know, he's saying his free power.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
He was just like, I know my decasion and I
will never work with some company now that are not
are not condemning the general side in Israel.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
In Gussa, thank you, Hannah ein Bender, thank you for
being a white woman being loud about what's going on.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Thank you for saying she said, go birds, fuck Ice
and free Palestine.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
After the show's over, there's usually a press room where
the winners going to and they get like it's like
a junket where a bunch of reporters ask the questions.
And they had asked her about that, like oh, well,
why'd you say that? And she was just like, I
would be remiss, and I'm paraphrasing, she said, I would
be remiss as a Jewish woman, as a Jewish person
not to talk about the genocide happening in Palestine and Gaza.
(39:47):
She mentioned, you know, she got friends and Goza and
all us, but but she really just said, like we
really need to separate being Jewish from Israel as an
ethno cultural state because A and that's what I can
talk like you. Having criticism or being completely against Israel
has nothing to do with being an anti Semite, has
nothing to do with not liking Jewish people or hate
(40:09):
Jewish is not the same and it's not equitable. Israel
does not stand for all Jewish people, and a Jewish
person who's on the right side of history will tell
you that all day, all all night, as Hannah did
on the Emmys themselves. So I salute you for doing that,
and that's all I be asking them.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
White people, just be loud and vocalized.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
I like that y'all in the street throwing sandwiches at
fucking ice.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Do the fuck y'all gotta do.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Do what y'all gotta do anything, y'all not gonna get
killed for it.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Just do it. That's the thing, And that's that will
get killed for that.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Too. They shot white kids to Kent State.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Never forget, white people do not have to worry about
being at a traffic stop and getting killed. White people
can generally speak their mind and not worry about.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Getting killed in this country.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Generally, generally we've seen that be the opposite. But hey,
you know you yourself. But that being said, I need
white people to speak up.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
This is your time to shine, straight up.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Shout out to white people winning as well The Pit
one for Best Series. And I just want to shout
that out because one of my brothers, Evan Allen, just
to say, I cannot pronounce your last name.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
Brother.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
You know that he's an Ethiopian. This my brother, though,
My man. Evan Allen is a recurring role on the
Pit and he'll be back for season two, so I'm
super proud of him and super proud of that show.
Put up my g Emmy winner. Call you an Emmy
winner now, Evan, look at that real quick?
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Ben, have you you've watched The Witcher on Netflix?
Speaker 4 (41:42):
Right?
Speaker 1 (41:42):
Oh my god, I watched the trailer for the new one,
that's for sure. Lord of Mercy, Me don't like me.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
Don't like I know, I sound like a hater, But
Henry Cavill was slash is girl. Not to say that
no one else could ever do it.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
Someone else could definitely do it. Say it's just this guy.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
It ain't Liam, Sorry, Liam.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Lauren Fishburne not in the trailer, but I did see
him in a still shot. He is in season three
The Witcher, wearing what looks like a don king Wig.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Why is Laurence fishburning here?
Speaker 4 (42:20):
I heard?
Speaker 3 (42:21):
But what's he doing?
Speaker 4 (42:22):
Man?
Speaker 1 (42:23):
I realized Lawrence needs like he got some tax issues
or something going on.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
Brandkids, college, regious, somebody named reaches.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Look after seeing their Prentice, I realized that Lawrence definitely
will you know, take that check?
Speaker 4 (42:39):
And I am mad at Lawrence.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
He was He was Granddad in Blackish for the longest
and that was great.
Speaker 4 (42:45):
I just wish That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
I wish he would get something like like we're talking
about today. He needs to get a state farm commercial,
you know, something like that, you know, steady credit card
that millions of dollars just rolling in every year.
Speaker 4 (42:58):
That's what you need.
Speaker 3 (42:59):
Not Samuel got that one, I know.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
But for Lawrence, farm blocked this somewhere else where. Lauren's
to get his, you know, because he got the Voice
of God, so you know, you got to be able
to get that. Because I don't want to see you
do the Apprentice again, bro, I don't want to see
(43:21):
you do it, you know.
Speaker 4 (43:23):
And that Wig in the Witcher season is.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Like I said, I don't meet this out like a hater,
but I'm hating. I'm not pleased with Liam. I wasn't
pleased when they announced him last year. I'm not pleased
with what I saw. It just looked like somebody acting
with the you know, with a six thirteen wig as Carol.
Like it didn't look, it didn't feel anyways. It's gonna
be eight episodes and it comes on Netflix October thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (43:49):
I don't care right writing time for Halloween.
Speaker 4 (43:53):
Yeah, I'll be doing something else.
Speaker 3 (43:57):
So interesting. I'm like Netflix, No.
Speaker 4 (44:00):
Neflix, don't give a ship. I saw something make a
know this is it.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
They know, this is all.
Speaker 4 (44:06):
Right, this is a penultimate season. There'll be this in
one morning. They're done.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
I saw some of those make up. It was on threads.
They said that, here's Apple TV. Apple TV says you
have a new series starring four of your favorite OSCAR
nominated actors with this amazing, credible, talented director. Here's Netflix,
here's season fifteen and people cleaning toilets.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
It is. It's straight up.
Speaker 3 (44:35):
Blockles and that like they'll turn around and cancel ship
that is popular.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
They don't give a ship.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
Bill Caster, that's absolutely popular.
Speaker 1 (44:44):
Cost cutting. Cost cutting, that's all about. They don't care.
They don't care because something else for a place that
that's cheaper. People clean the toilets, fifteen seasons going. Why
should we spend money with people? Watch Love Island? You know,
why should we spend money?
Speaker 2 (45:01):
Well, not too much on Love Island because that that's
bringing out the superstar shoutout Alandria and everybody else.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
But let's let's let them be the superstars.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
They let them be the shut up, let them be
the super side of their side.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Don't talk about I don't know if is uh you
know headline in the movie Leonardo DiCaprio, Yet.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
She will be don't be surprised everywhere, but don't be surprised.
But uh no, no, But I get your point, Like
I just yeah, I don't know, man, No neflix.
Speaker 4 (45:31):
Don't give a ship. That's the point.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
It's so wild, Like nothing's driven by numbers anymore, driven by.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Everything is Everything is straight up driven by numbers. That's
what it is. It's nothing is driven by creativity or
by what people feel. Everything is numbers, right, you know.
My another brilliant series that I love so much is Fastly.
When you want to talk about what goes on in
Hollywood today is Barry And there's this one of my
(45:57):
favorite scenes in Berry is when a woman and launches
she's the showrunner of a new show. She launches it
that morning, you know, it goes up on the streaming
service that morning. It is the biggest hidden variety the
Hollywood trades. Everybody's loving it. By that afternoon, that bitch
is canceled and she goes to she goes into the
(46:18):
office and it's zach sister and tells her, I wish
I could do something, but I can't because the algorithm
said this is what must be done. And she's like,
you're the exec. You are literally the person who could
do something. The algorithm says, I can't. Show's canceled. Yeah,
(46:39):
and that is that's the reality. That is the reality.
Ninety five percent of the shit is just it's made
by algorithm. These days, and you know there's certain studios
like you know, you see it with a twenty four,
you know, stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (46:50):
People are still taking risks.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
I mean even I feel like this one bad of
another is a wild risk because this shit calls one
hundred and fifteen million, and they where you're trying to
advertise it all money and that.
Speaker 4 (47:00):
Football and I don't.
Speaker 1 (47:03):
I don't get it because it ain't that this is
you know, somebody loves money at football is not going
to see the film or when they do, they're yeah,
and when they get they're gonna be wild and weird.
But there's a lot of very weird sec ship.
Speaker 4 (47:21):
I don't want to go back.
Speaker 3 (47:22):
Please don't go back here, because it is I do
want to.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
I do want to go back and say one thing though,
Like I said, one of my biggest problems is because
of how much I love black women and how much
I love black people and I and that was like
the fact that Tiana Taylor said one Last Time comes
from a line of revolutionaries. And within the first fifteen
minutes we just before she gets preditant, obviously, Leo and
her set off a bomb to blow up with looks
(47:49):
like a power station or some ship, and Leo, who
is supposed to not be the sensible one, is sensibly
trying to get away and she's like, no, let's fuck
when the bomb.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
Goes off, I've heard enough before.
Speaker 4 (48:00):
We black women deserve better.
Speaker 3 (48:03):
Wow, that's mind boggling.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
Before we got out of here, I did want to
just again just we're trying to be on the up
and up salutes. It is New York Fashion Week salutes
to an actively black fashion show. They had actively Black
I don't know if you've seen the ads, always seen
it as for years on on Instagram at like a
at leisure where type of Brandon clothing line. They had
a bunch of civil rights icons walk their show. So
(48:31):
they had Ruby Bridges walk. They had the daughters of
Martin Luther King and Malcolm X walk together, doctor Bernie
Keen and doctor Shabbaz walking.
Speaker 3 (48:41):
They had Cecil Uh, Cecil Williams.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
They had Cecil Williams, who you know that that iconic
picture of the black man drinking from the whites only fountain.
They had him and he came out. What what song
did he come out to? Like, he's I Ain't Never scared,
That's what he came out to. I Ain't never scared.
And he had the shades on and he I mean,
it was so fire to see that.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
They also had.
Speaker 2 (49:02):
Hassie Benjamin Haith Junior, who designed the Junteine flag.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
He came out as well.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
There was a bunch of other people who came out,
but like, I just wanted to particularly note those folks
because it's just so refresh and again to see our
icons and see our leaders and you know people from
that time that actually wasn't that long ago, see them
getting their flowers and seeing people like just continue to
learn and again just the idea of what's what's happening
(49:29):
in this country today, you know, erasing, trying to erase history,
trying to erase the truth, trying to erase what's right
in front of you.
Speaker 3 (49:36):
Like, you can't erase these people. These people lived it.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
They're still alive, which again should give you the understanding
that shit was not a long time ago. One for example,
on Cecils shirt, Cecil Williams, the one that drank from
whites only fountain on his shirt was his picture from
that that that image I just mentioned.
Speaker 3 (49:50):
But in color, and I really liked that it was
in color.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
Like it's one of the things like during the Supper
Rights you always see these shits in black and white.
Speaker 3 (49:57):
And I remember years ago you and I were talking
about that.
Speaker 2 (49:59):
Yep, there are conversions of all those fucking pictures.
Speaker 4 (50:02):
Yeah, it's intentional.
Speaker 2 (50:04):
It's intentional to makes you think, oh, this is so
long agold and blah blah blah. Your grandparents, if your
grandparents still live, they lived through that.
Speaker 3 (50:11):
If you're not that your parents, my parents, your parents.
Speaker 4 (50:15):
My my dad.
Speaker 1 (50:16):
Was born in nineteen thirty nine, my mom was born
in nineteen forty three.
Speaker 4 (50:20):
They both lived through everything.
Speaker 2 (50:22):
Your parents lived through that, understand So again, kudos to
actively black.
Speaker 3 (50:29):
You know that shit was fire appreciated all of that.
Speaker 4 (50:31):
Oh yeah, I'm trying.
Speaker 3 (50:34):
To give you something positive.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
No, no, no, very positive, and thank you very much.
I was definitely very positive and thank you very much.
Like I said, I do want to go out on
a positive note. And that's like I said, why I
because as Oh no, I just do not. I will
and I still want to call the some trash and
I think it's very competently made. You know very well,
you know overall, it's just what it's saying is why.
(50:55):
I had some huge problem with that, and that's how I.
Speaker 4 (50:57):
Want to go out.
Speaker 1 (50:58):
I'm saying again like I have a huge hue problem
with cynicism, especially in this day and time we live
in today, Like I just do not believe to ever
give up, to ever think that this is the end,
to ever think that things can't change. Like I hate
that idea. I detest it. I fight against it with
(51:18):
every fiber of my being. Because again going back to
my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, my ancestors beyond
that have lived through worse. End of story, nothing is
new under the sun, and nothing you're seeing or experiencing
right now is any worse than what our ancestors have
gone through in this country or around the world for
(51:40):
that matter. So to you know, be a cynical person
to think that this is the end of things, or
that we cannot win, or that we cannot experience a
better life, or you out there yourself can't live a
better life. It's just you know, you're already giving up.
You've already lost a battle right there. And I cannot
because of someone who's battled depressed, someone who's been through that,
(52:01):
someone who's had to go through brief and loss on
a tremendous scale over the last five years. I just
know that what end of the day matters is waking
up every day and choosing to live a good life,
choosing to find happiness in the moments, choosing to think
about all the blessings that you have every second of
your life.
