Hindsight Movie Reviews
A movie review podcast by Rashanii & Brandon where we take movies that were favorites of ours from the '80s, '90s, and beyond and rewatch them again now to see if they still hold up. Most do not.
Episodes
There was an amazing, powerful story to be told in this movie about the first battalion of Black women in the Army. Major Charity Adams was the first Black woman to become an officer in the Women's Corps. The Herculean task that they had to undertake. The way that they delivered the mail that no one else could. The uplifting, motivating stories are everywhere.
Unfortunately, Tyler Perry directed this movie. So that means he creat...
Ahoy, Motherfuckers!
They shouldn't have done that toilet like that. Who in the hell shits at a party anyway? Also, Derik ruined this movie for himself by seeing it through the eyes of an actual adult, so he was useless for this entire episode. Everyone in this movie was at least 25 when they starred in it, other than the members of Full Force, who were all at LEAST 49 in the face. Oh, and Play is an awful person, and Derik tries t...
Ahoy, Motherfuckers!
This movie is a bonafide classic. It is literally astonishing that it doesn't get more love. The casting is perfect, the acting is perfect, the storyline is perfect, and the prestige is perfect. Brandon has watched this movie a million times and still finds new stuff each time he watches it. Derik has watched it twice. He missed A LOT.
Enjoy.

Ahoy, Motherfuckers!
By rights, I should hate everything about this movie. Meagan Good is in it. BOW-WOW is in it. Nick Cannon is in it for six minutes and gets star credits on the front of the box, a travesty that was last seen when the late Coolio was put on the cover of Phat Beach and was literally only in the movie for as long as a person with no lungs can hold their breath.
The acting is awful. The jokes are awful. It's ...
Ahoy Motherfuckers!
They had issues with coping with the incest storyline in the first movie, but in the third movie, they make no comment at all about the fact that George McFly's great-great-grandmother looks just like Lorraine Baines. Also, Marty should know what a Tannen looks like at this juncture, and Doc only cares about the future being changed when he isn't the one changing it.
With all of that said, this wa...
Ahoy Motherfuckers!
There wasn't supposed to be a sequel to Back to the Future, and when the sequel was made, it wasn't supposed to be set in the future. It also wasn't supposed to do anything more than to set up the third movie in the trilogy, which was already made when the sequel came out. The movie is beloved, not because of the storyline, per se but because of the scientific advancements that the storyline provided to...
Ahoy Motherfuckers!
Disney turned this movie down because it had elements of incest in it. Other studios turned it down because it didn't have the raunchy nature of Porky's or Revenge of the Nerds. Their loss. Brandon and Derik were joined by Cee Brandon of the Say Something Nice podcast, and we reflected on one of the greatest movies of modern history and the paradoxes within it. Enjoy.

Ahoy, Motherfuckers!
You take Batman '89's music, add the campiness of Adam West's Batman from the '60s and give Al Pacino absolute autonomy to do what he wishes. You also have awesome casting, excellent make-up, grand set designs, and amazing costuming, and you have Dick Tracy.
Really, all you need is Al Pacino. He took this role and poured cocaine on it.

Ahoy, Motherfuckers!
You take John Candy and put him into any movie, and you already have comedic gold. But when you mix him with Rick Moranis in possibly his greatest role and add Mel Brooks' writing genius, you have a comedic classic. Brandon chose Spaceballs for the movie of the week, and we had a wonderful time reminiscing about the movie that was so great that George Lucas allowed the Millenium Falcon to be in it. Enj...
Ahoy, Motherfuckers!
Clubber Lang is NOT the villain of Rocky III. Even if I wasn't a black man who thinks the world of him, I would still contend that he isn't the villain. The villain of this movie is clearly Paulie, who happens to be a racist AND a hater, which is just such a poor combination. It isn't Clubber's fault that Mickey KNEW that Clubber would whoop Rocky's ass, so he kept ducking him, and it isn't his fault that...
