"Friday" ft. Shaun Vizzy -150

B-Real TV alumni, has photographed bands such as Korn and Slipknot, and loves pro wrestling -  Shaun Vizzy and I discuss his favorite film "Friday" directed by F Gary Gray who stars Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. It's a slice-of-life style of a film that's set in south central Los Angeles where two homies hang out and smoke weed but they get into a sort of laid back but messy situation with the neighborhood drug dealer. It's beyond an LA film or a hood film of sorts, but a film that represents community in a raw form. You do get to see life from a perspective that we can relate. You see real people. We talk about how Shaun saw this film but in a bootlegged VHS form BUT features a cut that's different from the actual theatrical version. We also talk about my disagreement of Roger Ebert's review of the film, especially the third act. Shaun and I talk about the legendary cast and we also discuss the character of "Big Worm" and how central it is to the film overall. This is a film where I did say that some of the scenes don't push the story forward but I fail to realize that LIFE itself goes in the pace we set it to be. Thanks to Shaun for wanting to do a podcast with me especially on this film that I personally feel should be in the United States Library of Congress if it's not there already.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
My name is Ray Salas earned. This is Morning Real.
If I see it, I review it. This is a
three to four to one hundred minute or so podcast
the films that I review from eighteen twenty five to
twenty twenty five, black and white to technic color, infra red, opposites,
whatever you name it. Man, from Africa to America. We're

(00:24):
all love. Man, We're all one now. Who doesn't love
smoking weed on a Friday with no job, not having
any shit to do, well in the case of the
film Friday, not in not in that ice Cubes case. Anyways,
I love Friday. Friday is a cool franchise, Sean. One

(00:44):
of my my favorite Friday is Friday after Next. It's
my favorite Friday, and it's very similar when you like
think about it and all that shit. But I don't know,
it's just something about it Friday after Next that kind
of like sticks with me more. I think maybe because
of the cast, bigger cast, bigger names and all that stuff. Right, Yeah,
but Friday is where it started. Fridays where you have

(01:07):
all the iconic lines, the iconic roles, and the people
behind it too. Like honestly, if it wasn't for ice
Cube and JJ Pooh. Well, let's just go back. If
it wasn't for DJ poo period, the ship will not
have existed.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
I mean, if you look at DJ pooh, I mean,
look what he's did with Friday and then you know
he did three strikes, he did the Wash, which is
another classic to me. And also DJ Pooh wrote a
little video game called Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Oh shit, how did it do?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
It's probably one of the biggest games of all time.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Shit, yeah, so I know that.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, so he he wrote San Andreas and I believe
he wrote parts of Grand Theft Auto five tampin. So yeah.
So it's like when you see when you when you're
playing the game of Sand and dres and you've seen
in like ten pining and stuff, it's like, well, that's
DJ Pooh. So I mean look at I mean, look
at the soundtrack itself. I mean, you're at Julio G,
one of the legends of La DJ's here much respect
to you, shout out to jlio G. I mean, he's

(02:10):
doing what's side radio on there? So it's like, come on, man,
you've got Cyper Silk blaming on there. Doctor Dre Snoop
Dogg all the classics.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
You even get a fucking a shout out from bro
in the fucking game dude, which is pretty fucking cool.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
That's crazy, that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Shout out to DJ Pooh he and ice Cube co
wrote Friday. Yeah, so Sean, I like to introduce you
to Sean Man. He's one of my homies. He brought
me into Broa TV kind of took me under his wings,
showing me the ropes and all that stuff. Not about
like just bro TV, abou about like music, fucking tour life.
You know, how to shoot a show, how to like

(02:44):
be out of people's ways, how to be respectful, and
how to be humble.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Oh man, thank you man. I mean we go way
way back. I mean you showed me a lot too
on camera techniques when I's just like just getting my
feet wet in more of the filming aspect. And you know,
we had like at first, I remember I met, I
was like this kid's really quiet, and then like we
just started having like common love. And I mean one
of our common loves is ironically it's the band Cannibal Corpse.

(03:11):
It's like we would sit at our studio and like
just try to bring bremstory and we're like, for board,
I want to listen to Cannibal Corpse.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, man, you're the only only guy in this studio
to this day who still bums Cannibal Corpse like Nobody's
business and Corn with the exception to see minus shout
out seat.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, I mean I'm all to collect it. I mean
I can go one minute from Cannibal Corpse and Corn
to Westside Gun Cyperus Hill Snoop Dogg to Louis Armstrong.
You know, it's just if you look at my I
mean it's like I'm C minus but a black version
B minus.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
So Sean, you love that. You've seen that about five
thousand times supposedly.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yes's my favorite movie of all time.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Really your favorite move all time.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
That's I mean, if you look at comedy comedy, that's
number one Overhall number one. I mean, Good Fella's Casinos
tied at number two. Because Scorsese is just Scorsese hardcore, Yeah, hardcore.
So I mean I remember watching Friday for the first
time on boot leg and it was a different cut.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
No ship yeah, so so what was different?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
So parsonally was different. So what they have in the
director's cut, they have like on the opening scene where
Making Good and the and the her male friend are
sitting on the porches and Stanley, who's actually was Ice
Cubes Bartyguard at the time, it's spraining watter, you know,
get off my lawn. This also was another.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Part was Making Good. Yes, that was had a feeling
because I'm like, who's that little Like, I'm like, she
looks and sounds familiar and ship.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah, that's her. That was her first one and irangly
she got the road after just dropping her head shot
headshot to the casting agency, so she got it off that.
Another part in that movie is when remember when Smokey
and Craig have their argument about you know, like where
after the whole situation with Big Worm and so so

(05:02):
when Ice keeps girlfriend, Joy who's played by Paula J. Parker,
comes up and goes confronts Craig of un he comes
out of house with Daddy played by Nia Long. Yeah,
so when Smokey's kind of instigating stirring the pod and like,
I'm all like, bro, come break your bro code there,
Like you can't be doing that. So when Smokey says

(05:24):
it's like, oh, I'm going to go to my Mama's
house like before the hey come back. Then he goes, hey,
come back. He's all right, and he goes in the
cut in the bootlet cut, Smokey goes hey, Craig, thanks man,
like having his back, and that's when you see Craig
in the original cut. Now that you see the cut,
now where's the slam the door? So that was the
reaction was off.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
That got it? Got it?

Speaker 2 (05:46):
And then yeah, there's some other person. I'm trying to
think in my head, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
So you ended up? So how did you? How is
it that you got a bootleg with a different cut
of the film?

Speaker 2 (05:57):
That's just a hood man. That was my cousin at
the time. It was ninety five, and so my mom
didn't want to take me to go see Friday because
of that course, and so my cousin's all like, hey,
I got Friday.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Holl were you then? Dude?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I was twelve, So I was twelve, Dude, I.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Went to see Next Friday when it came out and
I was ten.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
No, and I get it. But it's funny. My mind
didn't want get it. My mind didn't want to go
see me to go see Friday. But yet it was
okay for me even to watch Goodfellas at seven years
old and watch Pulk Fiction at ten years old.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
So that's a lot. Damn, that's a lot to take in.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, so it's like it's kind of interesting, but it's
just like, oh no, you shouldn't watch Friday because of weed.
Yeah mom, but now my mom just goes like, that's
your favorite movie. Whatever.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
That's time. Man, it ended up being your favorite. But
why did that film in particular ended up becoming your
favorite movie?

Speaker 2 (06:45):
I think with me because it has a touch with
Los Angeles, and I mean I'm a Los Angeles native
via South Bay. But it's just how the comedy Dynamics was,
and like, I'm a big fan of comedy and comedians,
and just with that movie, I mean, look at all
the comedians you had on there. You had Bernie mac
rest in Peace, John Witherspoon rest in Peace, Chris Tucker,

(07:06):
who was you know, on the Rise coming up there,
you had Faise on Love. You had aj Johnson who
played Eazel, who was terrific funny if you saw if
you see some of the stuff like and I got
the Hookup House Party three when he was at one
of the what does that thing, the Butcher's The Butcher's
you know, like just his comedy and stuff like that.

(07:27):
He was in Players Club. I mean like, yeah, you know,
you had the legendary Lewanda Page who played Aster and
sanfordis Son looked out up. I mean like she was
one of the queen of the Clapbacks. So when you
have that whope of cast, and also Ronaldo Ray who
played Red's father. You had Angela Means, who actually the
interesting story about how Angela Means is in that movie
who plays Felicia. She is like at in the Nighties,

(07:50):
she was like bad, like gorgeous, gorgeous, right, and like
she was in House Party three playing the main love interest,
and you know, completely different how she looked in Fred
and on Friday. So you know she you know, you
had her. I mean like Yvette Wilson who played Rita.
You know she was a comedian as well. So you
had a lot of great cast ensemble there, the soundtrack,

(08:10):
the static, it's just all the things that kind of
reminded me growing up in the South Bay that I saw.
I was like, yeah, this is it's so relatable and
it's still to this day. I can laugh. I mean
like look at Hector. I mean, like everyone has a
hector in their life where it's like you cool, but
like fuck you dude, and we all we all have
a hector who looks like Hector. Yes, yes, you know.

(08:33):
I mean you all got that one pastor friend who's
like he's all about, oh I'm about about church, but
going down you know, certain streets in Los Angeles, we
will say it's same fig and just you know, looking
at the eye candy out there, and it's like, you know, well,
you're supposed to be about a book, brother, Like what
you being a hypocrite?

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Okay, how about the dude who played the crack.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
In He's ol that's a J. Johnson, a J.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
John Cool.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
So you know he he passed away recently. I mean
like that yet that yeah, that dude killed was killing
it and like the roles that he was in, like
he was just a great supporting actor, you know, in
the comedic roles. So it's just like he was carrying
on certain scenes in there.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
So you know I don't kill at exactly.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I mean I mean, look, I mean speaking of that,
I mean, look at you have Debo played by tiny.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Man out of honestly out of all the cast members,
with the exception of John Witherspoon Tiny lists man.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, I mean so you've gone to I mean former
pro wrestler as well. Yeah, even with Tiny. He had
an interview with talking about the Debo character, and he
said it was actually inspired by Big You. That is
very interesting. That's very interesting, that's what he said. Ironically,
I can see that ironically enough. I was working at

(09:46):
a video story at the time in early two thousand
and one. So my friend and I we just used
to chill. You know. You know when you're working at
a video store, y'all you just do is watch movies,
ring the mop rings, restock all that stuff, and you know,
you get interesting characters. So I'm just like, we were
just bored one day and was like, yo, man, I
wanna go watch Friday. We're like yeah, And you know,
this is after we took our quote unquote break, so

(10:09):
we're like, hey, we're gonna watch Friday and guess who
walks into the store.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
All right, then I fucking guess Smoky. No, all right,
let me get another guests another guess.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Okay, I'm gonna give you one more guess. No, all right,
Debo walks in Tinyiel still walks in as the music
of him walking his intro syne like official one, not
the one when he's knocking out Red, but like the
bike scene, he's walking up and I'm just like, oh shit, ironically,

(10:46):
and he's just laughing at us. It's like you guys,
like you guys put this on purpose, Like no, we're
watching this, you know, it's just trippy. But he was
so cool talking to me, to me and my coworker Chris,
and we were just laughing and he was you know,
he took a picture with us. I gotta find that
somewhere and he was just like yeah, yeah, this was cool.
And he actually signed the VHS copy. So it's sad

(11:06):
because I don't have that copy, you know, because when
I quit the video store like two months, no, not
two months, two years later, it went out of business.
So unfortunately I didn't keep it. But I should have
kept that.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Right right. I never met Tayr. Listener, but he did
come to my middle school when I was like in
sixth or seventh grade, right sixth grade actually, and he
did like a kind of like a speech about like
you know, anti violence, anti gangs, stuff like that. You
know it wasn't like that one speech that you see

(11:37):
on the internet where like we're like he's talking about God,
like you know, Jesus rules das gangster.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah, like those the overzealous ones.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah. So I remember after the fucking speech, he was
outside of the auditorium because that's where it took place,
and one of my schoolmates, he was his black kid.
I forgot his name, dude, but he was a fucking
trouble maker though. But anyways, he was giving him shit,
not really, but he was just like, where you going
on my twenty and then he's just like walked out.
And then after we just started laughing. I was like,

(12:06):
you're in sixth grade, you're telling this guy hilarious. Anyways,
you mentioned earlier how this film is an LA film.
It's close to the heart. I like how the film starts, man,
It's obviously it starts with smoke and saying those famous words, right,
and then you get the smoke. Then it cuts into
that shot and it's a really it's probably one of

(12:28):
my favorite shots of the whole fucking film because not
that it's a crane going like downwards, but the first
thing you see is those wires and a pair of
pair of trucks on them, right, And not only that,
not only is it focused on the chucks, but you
get to see the palm trees as it goes down,

(12:50):
and then you get to see the street and you
can already fucking tell if you're an LA guy, Right,
this is La And it's great, man. And I like
how films start work like it pretty much kind of
tells you what the feel is without having to say anything, right.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
And you know, when you go to certain streets in La,
you'll see the palm trees, you see the wires, you
see the shoes hanging on him. So she's real, you know,
and everything about that. I mean, look how their neighborhood is.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
It's a real last fucking neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, and that that neighborhood to this day
still have people going there, Yeah, and you know, taking
pictures and stuff. But I actually heard and I sound
social media. So they have a sign there on the
the Craig the Craig Jones family house. You can take
pictures here, but you can't smoke weed here. And I'm
just like, damn, damn, I saw, like, how about I

(13:44):
pay you extra? Like you know what they could actually
get this, like, but I get it probably because maybe
you know, the smoke probably went.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
There and that it would just it would just burn
it out.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
You know, people would just be there. You know, they'll
be like long, probably long lines of people waiting to
go smoke and join on the porch. So I get it.
So it's understandable, but it still would have been cool
to spake a joint there.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
It's funny how you mentioned the house, right, So, like
I actually on this viewing. Look, man, I've seen this
film handful of times by myself and my dad because
my dad loves the Friday franchise. Shout out to him.
And it's rare for me to see that movie like
from beginning to end. I usually see it in parts
or like when it's on fucking t and Tier, you know,

(14:24):
all those fucking other towns and shit. But it honestly,
like just the other day was the probably like the
first time where I actually sat watched it from beginning
to the end of the end credits. And it's so
cool that in the end credits, I don't know who
does the credits, right, but it's said that like shout
out to the to the families of one hundred and

(14:47):
eighty Second Street between Normandy and Western and shit.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Now Helendale Street actually and Helendale Street of one and
twenty six Oka one and twenty six. So yeah, so
that tells you how many times I've seen the movie.
I see all the credits in.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Here the first time actually seeing that.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yeah, And what's actually if we were saying about the
how there's I was watching the video recently about some
facts about Friday which already knew, but they were seeing
the producers were and f Gary Grave was actually his
first film directing that, right. They say they were getting
crowds off up to like five hundred people watching it
on set, you know, while the movie was making. And
that movie was only made in like twenty days. So

(15:25):
that's that's quick. Yeah, twenty days, three point five million
budget and it made eight times the budget.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
You know what's crazy? Man? Like I'm not dissing on
all the film was made and how long it took, right,
but like it's it's such a simple ass film, dude,
Like a simple plot, but it's a relatable plot because
I'm sure a lot of people have gone through that
ship before, everything in different types of point of views, right, exactly.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
And when you with everything like that, you're just like
you can relate to it. You know, there's nothing bad
about it. I mean like everyone knows there's a Craig.
Everyone knows there's there's there's a Smoky, there's a Smokey.
There's a Pops who's like silly, but you know he's
no nonsense. He's like, hey, just just go on your grind,
get your money, take care of your family. You know
all that stuff. You know, you got, you got Miss

(16:09):
Parker like everybody. Everybody's seen a Miss Parker.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Everybody know about Miss Parker.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Like I've seen a few Miss Parker's back in the day,
back in the day, you know all that stuff. But yeah,
it's that movie is just I can go on forever.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
So you have you ever know a preacher who would
come up to you or come up to somebody and
just like kind of feed for some weed and shit,
like you know, for his cataract.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
You know, no, no, no, no, The preachers I know
will always like Sean, you should give your life over
to God. You know, you should go see you know
about Jesus. And it's like, dude, I'm saved. Okay, I'm
good just because I don't go to church, doesn't mean
I don't respect the lord. Yeah, like so it's always
like that. But I've never had one. But I knew

(16:50):
someone who was in the church business and bezzling money
and well they'll be out in about six years kind
of custody.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
All right, Yeah, some money on his commission, I guess,
I don't know. Yeah, that's no man's.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Side parts, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
So watching this film again in my thirties and shit,
mid thirties, whatever you have, you and I like the
film a lot. It's a good film. It's actually a
hilarious film. It's relatable even if you're not like from
La you know you like you said, you know, there's
people who are similar to those characters that you knew
or hung out with. I think it's films like these
in particular that should like he had a higher hierarchy

(17:36):
in film, especially in comedy man because like, I mean,
there's a lot of like like for instance, man like like.
One of my favorite critics is Roger Deebert. I love
the way he writes about movies and shit. He you
can tell this is a man who who like lives
and breathes film, and he didn't like this film too.

(17:58):
He gave this film two and a half at a
four star, and I understand from his point of view
why he gave it that rating and he didn't. It's
not like he didn't dislike it, but it was a
thing for him that why does a movie have to
like in the third act? Why does why does there
need to be some type of violence to kind of
like resolve a situation or resolve the conflict. And at

(18:21):
some point I could have I would have agreed with him.
I'm like, you know what, Yeah, why the fuck can
like they do something different? But I remember La film,
there's a hood film to like the minimum degree fuck man,
Like it would behoove you not to take on some
street justice on people like Deebo, especially in that film.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
It's something that kind of need it to happen.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yeah, yeah, I mean ironically interesting fact if Garry Gray
said he wished he could have redid the fight scene
because it just didn't feel kind of like not as
realistic to him as and you can kind of.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
See that, yeah, you know so in the Carnation.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, like he said, like the fight sequence itself, he
feels it could have been did a little bit better.
And I mean, I mean, think about it. That's what
you learn. And it's one thing about filmmaking you learn
as you go. And I mean that's his first film,
so now he looks at times, he can look back
and go like, okay, I mean that was the first
fun lot of people. I mean, that's Ice Keeps first
comedy role if you look.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Up, even though he was kind of funny. And Boys
in the Hood yeah, years prior, which to me the
perfect film. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, man, I might need
to redo that one with you. I'm down, all right,
all right, let's do that. But hey, but that fight
scene in itself is iconic. Bro.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Yeah, you get.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
To see a big man go down, got the whole
little neighborhood like cheering craig on and not like stepping
in like what I love about John Witherspoon's character in
that film, and like it's crazy how like films like
that too were like let's let's just say, man, it's
the society and Boys in the Hood. There's not a
lot of like like a like a paternal presence with

(19:59):
the with the exception of what's that I forgot his name? Man,
he basically played the father in Boys in the Hood,
Lawrence Fishburn. Lawrence Fishburn gotta have a fatherly figure. But
when you compare that guy to Craig, is that yeah,
two different world.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, but Furious was strict. Was strict, like to a t.
But it's understandable because it's like he's trying to make
sure his son is not making mistakes that he's seeing
the other boys are making. Where John Witherspoon, he was
strict and like, hey, be about your business. But he
also was a goofball, you know, like, which is funny.
So mentioned on the first cut. So do you remember

(20:39):
the scene in the movie where the dad is asking Craig.
Willie's asking Craig to come inside the house and like
the sister Debbie's like, hey, dad, Daddy wants you. So
first time he goes in there and it's not it's
not in this cut, but it was an original cut,
he goes, oh, hey, can you grab me the remote? End?
The TV guy and like John withersmand is laying on

(20:59):
the bed watching so he makes Craig go from all
the way to the front of house to get that.
So in that next scene that was like that sometimes
bro so again. He calls him again and he's all like, hey,
give me a glass of water. So you know that
infamousy with the ice cube drops, And I'm just like,
that's how you do. Like, so there's that there was
like so in the original because there was like a

(21:20):
couple of more John Witherspoon scenes that I found were
funny that were cut out and they're lost now.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
But is that what in the bootleg version? You saw?

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yes, in that boot Like what the fuck? So what
I'm assuming is that has to be the test cut.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Do you still have it?

Speaker 2 (21:34):
I do not have that boot leg. I don't know
if my cousin even has it. So that's what I'm saying.
It's probably lost something that someone has it, dude uploaded something,
because like the director's cut that they have on Blu Ray,
they added some of the scenes in there, Like there's
a scene where Chris is even in the because I
because I had it, I had it on VHS, I
had it on DVD, and I have it on Blu

(21:55):
Ray streaming. But like on one of the deleted scenes
on the DVD, I don't know if it's on the
director's cut now, but there's one where you remember where
they were trying to find trying to when Smokey's like,
you ain't got no sugar, damn. He goes to his
mom house and gets the sugar and the mom is
talking shit like, uh huh, they got he got both
my mama and daddy didn't got a job, and he's

(22:16):
all like, Mama, no, no, no. And then there's you know,
when Smokey's going back to the house with the sugar,
he goes, Hey, Craig, I'm gonna go see I'm gonna
go see what kind of patty is your sister worried, Hey,
get out of here. There's there's stuffed in that movie
where it's like the deleted scenes where it's like they're funny,
and I understood why it just cann't go flow with
them because maybe at the time running and everything, but
like the deleted scenes and then that first cut into

(22:38):
Bootleg Versus, there's some gems in that there are just hilarious.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Now my only question, well not my question or a concern,
actually it is a question. Now you've seen all these cuts, right,
I don't know what I've seen, but I've seen what
I've seen on HBO. Max. What I've seen on HBO.
I don't know there are two different cuts are all together.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Now that's the that's the same, that's the eat or
cut theatrically. Yeah, you can tell too.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
When you when you watch it, because like even the
credits shake a little bit and ship, you can tell
it's film. So now you said there was a lot
of hilarious moments and some obviously didn't make the cut.
I like this film. I like where it goes. I
honestly feel that some of the scenes. I'm not saying
that they don't work, but like they don't really work

(23:25):
to push the story forward, like it's fucking you know,
in filmmaking and in screenwriting they say that like every
time like an actor acts or whenever there's a scene
going on, it has to push the story forward. Somehow,
a lot of these scenes do not push the story forward,
which obviously when you watch it, you don't give a fuck,

(23:46):
right because you're laughing, and honestly, that's what kind of
counts for the most part, right, like getting entertained by it.
Now do you do you see that?

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Do you?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
And not only now do you see that? And not
only do you see it?

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Like you care honestly, I don't care good, you know,
because it's like like you're watching the movie and from
what you kind of see on the technical standpoint, yeah,
some parts don't mix.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
But like like the Carnation fucking cardon, Yeah, that she's
all fancy, dude. And I noticed that the other day too,
and I saw it. I was like, and it's on camera,
and I'm like, he's getting away with this shit. That
makes me feel good though, Yeah, that's a filmmaker and shit.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah, like okay for for one part. So the flashback scene,
we're smoking, Hector having a smoke and smoking realizes this
angel does there. If you notice there's a guy in
the back right, watch it, watch it. Watch the car scene,
the black and white scene, there's a guy sitting in
the background on his porch. Movie directors asked him, Hey,
we're trying to clear the scene. You know, like this

(24:50):
guy would not move that they offered him money. No,
he just you know, they said, hey, we'll offer you
money and have a walk on on the scene. He
just literally wanted to sit down with his homie and
smoke and they said, fuck it, we're gonna film around it, right,
And it just fit it fit honestly for that scene.
Watch that flash you look at it goes you know,

(25:12):
shut those you know, you're like, you look at it
and you see that background, it's like, oh, man, Like
there's a lot of stuff in that movie that I
realized and people have picked up. Like Okay, for example,
so when Joy, who is Ice keeps love Interest, calls
him up in the morning, so it's like, who the
fuck you went to the show with? If you notice
there's a picture of Craig on the bed, but there's

(25:33):
another dude on the bed.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Dude, it took like because I've I've a certain point,
I really I've noticed it, But after like fucking the
first ten thousand viewings or whatever, never did I fucking
notice that shit until somebody on fucking Instagram been like,
look you see that, and it's like kick me out.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
So again, that relates a lot because everyone knows there's
a girl who got a dude and got a side
dude on this side who is just like sleeping on
the bed doing the bare minimum. Probably it's like an
air mattress air mattress king and then got trying to
like school down on Craig, and Craig knows He's all like,
why am I dealing with this girl? Yeah, you ain't

(26:13):
got to lie. But it's like, girl, you're doing you're
doing the most. So there's a lot in film like
you see every tell me who she was exactly? And
the thing and funny thing about that, it's like one
thing what I really relate is like I can relate
to every character in that movie because I know there's

(26:34):
someone who is like Smoky's mom. There's someone who is
like Smoky. There is someone who is like Craig's mom Betty,
someone who is like Dana. Like everything in that movie.
There's someone like a Stanley who lives who lives in
the hood, really trying to keep to himself, got the
money by acts bougie, but like going in the right
place in time, you know he'll back down from a fight.

(26:56):
So it's like you have a lot of those like
get off my lawn like you can. That's the one
thing with me, is that why That's why I think
I love that movie so much, because it's like every
character I've seen that or experience it in my life,
so it's like there's nothing about it. That's why it's
to me, it's my favorite movie. Because it's like I
can watch it and have a bad day and laugh
at even a particular scene, you know. I mean like ironically,

(27:18):
Michael Clark Duncan was in that movie, yep, so it's
like a yeah, like there was there was even like
like an additional cut of that part scene.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
So it's just like, yeah, I've seen that before.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Actually, yeah, so you know, you like that's one thing
that's like I wish someone had that like original original
and maybe after Great Hazard. I'm sure he you know,
you know, because I actually finally saw it on film
a few years ago. Yes, yes, And at the end
of it they showed every guy keep them heads rigging,

(27:49):
like Smokey's talking on the New Life intess like State
Staton tune. After the movie, we got dominated few miss
videos for y'all, so that so it's crazy. It's like,
damn man, you know, but it's like, all right, Tarantino,
you gotta talk a deal with f Gary Gray.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Get the cut, you know, so kind of cut to
by man, Yeah, tomorrow license whatever.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
I really wish my cousin still had that boot leg.
Damn you you had a bootleg, a bootleg bootleg VHS
copy bro different cut, and no tracking number on it,
like it was like perfect like a screen or like
picture was clear everything.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
We gotta what's your cousin now? Dude?

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Hey hey Florida, Florida.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Now gotta get him under the on the warns.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
I like, hey, you still got that, dude? What's going on? Man?

Speaker 1 (28:39):
I was just with Gary that slight Now? Is this
your favorite Gary Gray film?

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Du?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
I mean yeah, I mean he's done a couple of thing.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
He's done a couple since, I mean did straight out
of Content? Straight Out of Content was great.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
I actually do like Straight out of Compton. Besides, with
like all the controversies whether you know, why do they
put this in home? They didn't make this like this?
You know, still a good.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Yeah, Like you know, like the only thing I have
a buy straight out of Compton is that like it's
not timely accurate, you know. Yeah, and I get that
of the movie, but I'm just like that didn't happen
at that time, that didn't happen at this time, you know,
But and you know kind of like things they have
to go too far on that. You know, it's like
here's darthor Dre big part, Here's ice Cube big Part,

(29:22):
here's easy. Big part small on DJ Win, I mean
MC sorryn no disrespect, small parts on DJ Wren, small
parts on DJ Yellow, But you have more on Jerry Heller,
and you have more on Shug Night.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
So I was just like, I mean, I mean, come on, dude,
and Jerry Heller was a prominent figure. I mean I
mean we're alone.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yeah, I mean very interesting cat you know. But you know,
it's just and it's funny because people will talk about
how when ice Cube left NWA, there wasn't the same
and yeah, of course, but I still would bump fl
four zagging all the time like that's a great album,
like just like straight out of Compton is stuff.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
But you know, wait, wait, wait, isn't it called We're
going to say it? Come on, dude, hey let me shot,
let me ask you.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Okay, I'll say the title.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
No, no, don't say the title. That's not what I'm
going on now. If this film worked to be written today,
would the term why in be prominent in the dialogue
or would it still keep it like in that fucking
you know between Normandy and Western tw twin See.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
I wouldn't want it to be written in today. I
can't just the way how you know, now comedy is
very different. Yeah, I mean it's now more a lot
of social media guys who are getting big off comp
you know, doing skits online and they're doing comedy. But
it's a big jump for them because some of them
can actually are good on stage and then some are

(30:50):
just they're just terrible. Yeah, it's to a point where
they're happening to do two for one tickets on their
shows because that's how bad the ticket sales are. I
don't know if Friday could be like First Friday be
written today.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
I mean, yeah it could, but I think it could.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
It could, but just whyians around. I'm just like, if
we're doing.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
La now, you see the kids with the fucking masks now?

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Yeah, like with the what's those things called? No, there
was another thing. I can't even think about it the
top of it. I don't even know, man, But yeah,
like you having all those type of masks and then
the really tight clothes because you know, you look at
Harberger's wearing more loose fitting bagging clothes that they got
from the sauce and swap meat here. You know, it's
like more tight fitting, the more tattoos, the like just

(31:34):
kind of like the culture I think. I don't know,
man like, could it be written, Yeah, but would it
be as impactful as it was in ninety five? I
don't know. No. Big Worm right, played by Faison Love.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Classic character right with Faison? Well, sorry, it was big Worm.
The character was be real. It wasn't a fucking asshole.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
No, oh he was. He really really was not really wasn't.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
He was just playing by the fucking code. Bro. Yeah,
why do people tend to disagree.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
That Worm stood by the code? He was about his business.
It was like, keep these emotions out of it. I
have to run. I'm running a business. This is how
I pay my bills, this is how I take care
of my family. And you notice on the other side too,
he had an ice cream truck. So he was hustling.
And that's what a true hustler in the hood is.
They go by the book, they go by the code.

(32:28):
Smokey was bullshit. Smokey was not doing his business as
a responsibility in Big Room's partnership. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
So, and then fucking dragging crag.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Dragging Craig alone, and Craig has to like figure it
out how to help him because he's gonna be a
real friend and I tell him to go fuck off,
But I know cats who will tailcats, Hey, fuck off.
You got in Like you got into this bullshit yourself.
You fucked up. You need to get out of it.
Like Craig's a real friend saying like I got your back.
Let's figure something, let's figure out how to do this.
But worm was about his paper, and that's one like

(33:00):
people can talk shit like like that one line in
the Icerom Truck, What the fuck that gotta do with me?

Speaker 1 (33:05):
I use that line so much, like it, Like I
think I've heard you say that on occasion over here.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Maybe once or twice. But you know it's like even
when I'm working in my corporate job and like I'm
just looking at things, I'm going, what the fuck this
got to do with me? And now I'm then I'm like,
oh wait, corporate, Okay, let's figure this out. Guys.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Like when I listen to the sometimes I listen to
the brown Back podcast right on the radio and shit
power and then like they'll be talking about like Chris
Brown's tweet, I'm like, what the fuck's that.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Gotta do with me? Dude?

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Why?

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Why?

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Why are they talking about this? Period?

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Dude, Yeah, I mean it is what it is. You know,
it's like I guess them for them, it's filler. But
like again, like keep saying, like I can relate to
everything in that movie, like even at times, I'm a
big worm, you know, not fully like that, like I
would have a strap and trying to threaten someone's life.
But I'm like, look, I have a deadline. I need

(34:00):
need to get paid. Here's my invoice, send it over,
like or I'm at work. I'm like, hey, I'm on
my business right now. I gotta quote to me and
I gotta I gotta expert all this stuff here, or
I gotta figure out I gotta exactly what he's like, Hey,
you ain't even part of this, but exactly you are now.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
But like a scene like that needed to be needed
to happen. So the the film is because the story
can push forward and see some tension and be like,
so what the fuck are they gonna do now with
their day? With their day? So they got no ship
to do?

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Right, Yeah, now you have something to do. Now you
have to figure out how to come up with this
money and stay alive. I mean, I mean think about Okay,
you know your last excuse me, IPERB the dripe I scene.
You know who was one of the shooters in that
movie in the van?

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Right, yeah, okay, what's.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Up Dubsy when he goes therry, that's Dubsy.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
I had a feeling it was Dupsy, but I wasn't
sure because I was like, that fool looks familiar.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Though. Look at the credits credit ams his phone name
will In Calhoun. But that's him. Oh okay, alright, alright,
Ironically enough, Dubsy worked on Snowfall. He was the dialect coach. Yep,
when I thought, I was like, no, wonder, this ship
is fucking amazing.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah. Right, so, and it's funny that you bring up Snowfall. So, yeah,
you mentioned Snowfall, so we have freeway. Ricky Ross on
The Doctor Green Thumb Show shout out to him. Oh word, Yeah,
this was like maybe about two years ago or something.
Check that out, check it out.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
He said this one thing that I actually clipped right
where when he was barely getting into the fucking game
right in the hood and all that shit, he talked
about how he was like kind of like he was
under he knew like the big dealer there at that time, right,
so he was talking about how like, man, I hung
out with dudes who like fucking kill you for okay,
for two dollars, right, and long story short, he says,

(35:51):
it's the principal. Yeah, it's the principle. And when I
heard that ship, I was thinking, big worm, and I'm like.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
It's the principle that it's like, hey, you're a man,
You're on your feet. It's the principle of doing things.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
You know.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
It's like, okay, perfect story. When I needed to make
some changes in my life, I had to stay on
my feet, on my own two feet and says, hey,
I have to figure this out myself. And that's like
a test you have for as an any man. You're
gonna go through that test. And yeah, so it's about
having principle, having you know, discipline, having structure, having integrity.
Worm was all was never in the wrong. He was like, hey,

(36:31):
it's about the principle. This is about like this man, like,
if worse comes to worse, if I got to deal
with you in only other ways, there's no way to
be dealt It has to be this way. He didn't
want to go to the PROMT, but he's like, hey, man,
I'm not plaining about my money. I have things that
they need to be met, and other people here are
taking care of business for me. Why aren't you taking
care of your business? Smokey just wanted to bullshit and

(36:51):
look look what happened.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Can I get my chili Fridos?

Speaker 2 (36:54):
You can't have shit, fat boy, I'm closed. They give
me my money back, my money, mama, see everybody can.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
I don't hate him.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
I con't. I couldn't hate word man, I couldn't. I
hated Debo. Deebo had no respect. He was like, I'm
gonna intimidate anyone. I'll do whatever, because if you're gonna
talk shit to me, I'll just knock you the fuck out.
Worm was on that. The Worm was more of a
stand up, reserved person, like hey, you got my money, Hey,
what's up?

Speaker 1 (37:22):
I kind of wish there was something with Worm and Deebo,
you know, two different but two different worlds and ship.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
I actually thought that something would happen like that with
Next Friday. And then when Next Friday came out and
you just had kind of like just kind of the
a third of the cast. Yeah, you know, I mean
from that movie come back. You only have Deebo, Craig Pops,
and I think Stanley in The Little Cameo. But like
you got to think from the majority of that movie
that was entirely a new caste. I love Next Friday.

(37:50):
I love Next Yeah, you know what I mean, Like
you're introduced to Mike Apps. Mike Caps is fucking hilarious
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
Sojins all about I just watched out the other that
Oh yeah, yeah, no.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
When he goes the you know, the showers, seat's like,
we gonna fuck you up. He's just like, I'm shot,
but keep talking about like let me get that with
the Screwdriver because everyone you see with that one, like
the Screwdriver part where Mike kept kissing, He's like, everybody
want to do that to this one person? Just come on,
get it here.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
My favorite, my favorite line in that film when he's
talking to the fucking clerk and he's like, I'm gonna
go i'mna start going to the whites, the white.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Who the white around your lip?

Speaker 1 (38:22):
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Yeah. I love that movie.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Yeah, yeah, man, it's fucking Friday.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Man.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Yeah, it's a classic classic film. I think it came
out on a Friday. If I'm not Mistaken Man.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Came out on a Friday. Budget was three million dollars.
It made six million its first week.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
That's great.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
Yeah, overall it did like twenty eight million in the
box office, like you're eight times your.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Budget, like bro anything and it is something right right.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
And the crazy part is it went big around VHS obviously,
like the VHS sales. I don't know if we talked
about it. We talked about who was gonna play Smokey.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
Oh before we started recording. Now we didn't, so I
think it might have made mentioned something about he was
gonna get replaced or something like that.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
So at first, Smokey's the first choice for Smoker's supposed
to be DJ Pooh, but New Light sent him a thought, Okay,
he's not experienced enough, so let's try someone else. At
first it was gonna be and then it was gonna
be between Chris Rock and Tommy Davidson and that didn't
work out. And ice Cube watching an episode of Deaf
Comedy Jam and saw Chris Tucker on there who was

(39:25):
killing it, and he got that, I mean, think about
it like you look comedy like with all the speaking
of comedians, all the comedians I mentioned in there. Most
of those comedians were on deaf jam like Bernie Mack, Bernie,
I mean I ain't scared of you motherfuckers. I mean
that's the first line he said. He you know, he
was already ready. He's like, I ain't scared of you.
Motherfucker up like that to me when he said.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
That, Oh my god, out of all the black comedians
or just comedians in general, dog like him, Dude, Like,
why couldn't have been fucking like Pete Davison who died. Bro, Seriously,
I don't wish to come on, christ your dog. Really,
we're gonna have a fat ass fucking guy talking about
his fucking how he's old. You know what, me drinking

(40:05):
is cool and ship we got fucking talent. Bernie Mack
played a dad, played a preacher, played all kinds of ship,
baseball player dude.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Yeah, okay for three thousand, Okay, I wouldn't wish. I
wouldn't wish death on anyone. But I'll tell you three comedians,
three comedians who are mid and I wish they would
never do comedy again. Number one is Andrew Schultz, fuck him,
thank you. Number two is Tony Hincliff, thank you. He's
fucking awful and happen to see that during the wrestle

(40:33):
Media weekend in Vegas and the roaster of WrestleMania. I
was just like, you are not funny. Andrel Schultz, you're
not funny. And Carlos Mincia for obvious reasons, they're all
mid mid.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
He's only just stepped into the house. He's actually a
fan of Carlos Mencia.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
He's old, I love you, but I'll let you get
a pass on that one. Shout out to shout out
to you on.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
He's my one of my favorite Waiians.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Yeah, sir, one of my favorite good dudes. The Zone
is always a good dude.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Man.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
I've known him for years and you know, you know,
we used to clash casts like brothers and stuff. But
that's what brothers do, you know. But at the end
of the day, he's went to get in the fight
and I'm there, I'm all like, hey, man, what's up?
Who we got to give a fade too? Let's go yo,
he' zone. Should we have sean on that we don't
smoke the same podcast some there, I'm down, let's do
it all.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Yeah, let's let's schedule it out one then yeah, let's
do it, man, I'm up for you. I know you
got stories, dog, stories that we can talk, stories that
you can actually share, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
I uh, let's not get into that.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Well you're saying, no dog Anyways, I love Friday. If
it was my rating, I would give it three and
a half out of four stars. You obviously know why
because there's some scenes that you know, they don't push
the story get even though it's fucking hilarious. But the
movie is hilarious. When you watch it, it makes you
kind of want to watch it again enough for like
the comedy value, but just the writing alone. Man, it's

(41:58):
really it's like you said, it's a good comedy, Like
it's hard to write comedy. That makes it so seamless
and like like it's not even written. They're all at all.
And that's why you can, like you can correct me
if I'm wrong. But the lines that Bernie mac had
was that ad libed or was that on like on
the script? I was told that he like did it

(42:20):
on the spot type.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
I read somewhere that majority of Friday, like a lot
of those lines were improvised by all of them. Okay,
So I mean I mean I wouldn't be surprised with
Bernie and and his his lines, and Joe's just like
oh John Smokey, I mean Chris Tucker itself. So I
wouldn't be surprised. I'm about that. So if that was
like that, then kudos to them on that were just

(42:42):
saying like, hey, this is where the situation we're at,
this is a scene make magic. Yeah, I mean Korysez
did that with a good Fellas. You know, some of
those lines were improvised, even like Casino, some of those
lines were improviser. I love improvised. If you could improvise
a knock It out of the park, go.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Make three times your budget or two times your budget
or whatever.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
No, eight times a budget in theatrical run, and then
think about how much they made on home video.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
And then we're still talking about.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
It to this day, thirty years later.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Thirty years though came out thirty years agoea, it came
out like two weeks ago recently, right, yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Ninety five. So it's like, you gotta think about the
last impression that has made and it's has influenced generations.
I mean the music except except I mean some of
the songs they had on there. Those were expensive to
get licenses.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah. And it's crazy how you say that,
because like rewatching the film right, paying attention to everything,
and I'm like, fuck, bro, like these tunes like fucking
pretty Panny Bro.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
Yeah, and New Lne Cinema said, fuck it, we're gonna
do it. And actually New Light Cinema was like the
last studio to give them the budget because they were
gonna do it ultra low budget for like seventy five
thousand dollars and put it in black and white before
they got New Light Cinema on black, So imagine interesting,
it was gonna be super low. They was gonna self

(44:01):
finance and self release it because I believe Cuban who
were writing it while Cube was touring in Europe.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Obviously the most expensive thing probably would have been the
probably the fucking dry by scene, right, because you're actually, well,
it can be using blanks, but you can tell you
can hear the fucking noise.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Yeah, an, I mean even they're saying, like the the
Misfire from Smokey's Pencil, they at that in a dr
big worms actually lowriter. A guy owned it, a local
cat in La owned it and he sold it to
some cats in Japan and they said later on the
guy who owned that lowrider was unfortunately.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
Damn that sucks. Yeah, but thank you for your contribution
to the film of Friday.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
We both enjoy it. Yes, man, this film, being at
as thirty years old now should get the attention of
you know, the US Library of Congress. Yes, honestly, it's
worth it. Yeah, it's earned its place.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
People.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
It's not just the hood film or an l a film.
It's a comedy film and it's very relatable. Honestly, films
like these. I would sort of think that it's the
like the black version of the French New Wave.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
Yeah, Like if you look at that movie black black
people can relate to where white people can relate to
a latinos Asians, Polynesians, you know someone, and this tonguans Asian. Like,
everybody can relate to that movie in one way or another.
With a character Like even if you're rich, you're poor,
you're in between, you're gonna relate to that movie. It's
just a relatable movie there, clerk, Yes, with this fucking

(45:40):
mom dude, And you know what's interesting in that? So
you notice one more bit Smoky's attire, right, they had
it blue because it was in a Crip neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
Okay, So I was actually gonna ask you about that
going going, So they go ahead.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
That's what I wanted to mass, like, well.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
Not the setting of the film, right, but like the
setting of the actual locations Crib neighborhood right for the
most part, Yes, sir, Yeah, I kind of figured.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Yeah, so you know, they were just trying to be
respectful around that, Like they even said there were some
drive bikes around, but never on the set. So for that,
you know, that's keeping respectful. And you know what I mean,
because when you.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Know you got Cube on set, bro, I mean, come
on respect towards that.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
And what I had said earlier Stanley was actually Ice
keeps a bodyguard in real life, and from the stories
I heard, you did not want to miss with Mohammed's.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
And it's funny because he just does not. They did
a really good job to make him like seem like
the character that he is, right as opposed to how
he is in real life. Yeah, you say it.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
I've seen photos of how he is with Cube and
I'm just like, oh.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Dang, is he taller in Cube? Huh is he taller
than Cube?

Speaker 2 (46:45):
I think it was probably a little bit taller.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
Okay, because I mean usually you know I would see
fucking Devo, fucking Bodyguard.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
Yeah, so ice CB, you know, so seeing that, it's
just what's just hearing all the stories of that, and
you know, he actually just amacted himself in some of
other ice to other movies. He was in Players Club
and he was in Me and Next Next Friday.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
I've seen The Players Club recently for the first time,
and that is a dark that's a dark ass fucking
like even though ice Cube is not a big player
in that fucking film.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
Yeah, it's it's a pivotal part in some scenes in
that movie where it takes it to the third act
where it's just like, yikes, Yeah, it's it's a great movie.
I like Players Club, that's that's cubes director movie. But
it's it's a dark movie. It's like I cannot watch
that like I watch Friday on the regular.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Yeah that that that part that we're kind of talking
about without actually mentioning it. Yeah that it's.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Intense.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
It's intense, bro and salutations to that, because like it's
films like those that, like we talk about it, and
it's in some cases to some some people in life. Man,
that shits actually happened to them before.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
That sucks exactly.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
You know.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
You know I experienced that and I was.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
Shocked to I didn't think that was gonna happen, dude, Seriously.
I thought they were gonna be like, beat her ass
and that's it and just bounce.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
But yeah, you know, it's sad because that does happen
on a lot of people don't talk about it, you know,
they keep that to themselves in trauma forever. But that's
kind of the sad side of that side of that
type of industry.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
And you know, George Perez, he actually wants me to
review that film with him, you know, because being I say,
go for it. I've been trying, but I do it busy.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
Man, I'm gon tune into that one definitely for sure.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
If not, if you can't do it, then then let's
do it.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
Hey, have you did Casino yet?

Speaker 1 (48:34):
Casino's next, bro, Like not next next, but like it's
it's in my rear view mirror.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Man, I won in okay, because.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
All right, let's do it with ease on the ex
because the exaber's a fucking Gambler.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
I'm all for it. I'm for it. That's one of
my all time favorites. I actually watched that movie. Well,
I didn't watch it, but I had it plain while
I was in Vegas. You know, it's just like getting
in the mood like I'm going to Vegas, you know,
because you know it's classic, and you know I have
something to say about Ginger.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
We all do, right, Well, we all know a Ginger
or know somebody who was.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
We all we all knew, but we dated quote unquote
a Ginger in our lives. We've also dated a Jenny Damn.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
Yeah, for real, man, sir, what would you give Friday
a four out of four?

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Four out of four? It's my favorite movie out of ten, right,
like my top five favorite movies get whatever, perfect scores
of course, So it's like Friday, it's like my favorite comedy.
Then you'd have Good Fellas slash Casino slash Godfather too,
and then you have Pulp Fiction and then fight Club.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Up there. Man. Yeah, so those I think fight Club
was on the new BEVs recently. If I'm not mistake,
shut the fucking front thing. So I have to double check.

like the the Imax and and the film cuts, like
I need to say. And plus two, When I saw it,
there are straight people in front of me and my date,
my lady, and these people were staying on their fucking
phones and talking. And usually like me, I'll usually be like, hey,

all cool. Billy d Williams because it was the Lady too,
you know.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Yeah, gotta keep it right, like.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
They were just like just talking. I'm just like, I'm
not slept, but I was trying to be all cool.
And the funny thing is, here's the thing thet know about, Okay,
movies like that. I want to go to the quote
unquote white people theater. Why because they ain't motherfuckers on
their phones and all that shit. And it happened there
in a white people theater.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
Interesting.

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Now I'll go see Friday in a white people theater,
but I wouldn't have fun. I'll go see Friday in
the hood because I know cats are going to be glass,
it's gonna be blast, people are gonna be laughing, people
are gonna be smoking. Like, yeah, you're gonna have some
loud motherfuckers there, but it's gonna be a party, you know.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
So when I went to see Straight out of Compton,
like in theaters for the first time and all that,
I saw it at that theater by the Westfield moment
the winning Cuolver City. Yeah yeah, I know which we
know that theater they building all that. Yeah, she was
a packed house full of brothers and sisters.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
And you know when the moments happened, they're just like
hell yeah, yeah, going fucking crazy. It wasn't like a
popcorn throwing thing, but yeah, it was wild. And I
enjoyed it because yeah, because I expected it. For one,
not to sound like racist or anything, but like like
you knew what you were gonna expect, but like the
demographic that you're gonna be in because at the end

(52:04):
of the day, you go to the movie to be one,
to see the fucking yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Like there's just some part, some parts of that movie
you know in theaters, something that you have to go to,
you know, to be quiet, and there's some you know
you need to go because it's gonna be lit. So
it's like, Okay, you're gonna smoke your joint before you
go in. You're gonna drink a oh oe or what's
that a new thing? Beatbox? I actually discovered beatbox recently
and I love those.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Do you like it?

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (52:26):
I don't know. It's something about that after It's something
about just that like sticky aftertaste. Yeah, man, I can't
get over.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
I had it when I was walking up to WrestleMania
Nice because I was like, wait, we'll flavor, we'll flavor.
I got the blueberry, okay, and I was like, I'll
be damn if I spent twenty twenty bucks to thirty
bucks forty bucks on beers as allegian, I was like, fuck, I'm.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
Getting my favorite one. If I had to pick a
favorite watermelon, okay, I haven't tried that one, I will
had it fucking cold as fuck. Bro.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
Now here's what's sad. The night the day before, because
Russemeo was two day said that was Sunday, Saturday. I
was walking up drinking some apple cider moonshine, I know,
apple pine moonshine. So I set my cup down because
my friend was taking a picture of me. Some kid
in the maga had kicks my drink down, like just
like kicks it. And I'm like, hey, man, are you

(53:12):
gonna say excuse me or I'm sorry for kicking a drink?
That's not cool?

Speaker 1 (53:16):
A kid like a kid kid?

Speaker 2 (53:17):
No, No, he was like a full grown a dog.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Okay, don't say kid if he's no.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
But I'm calling he's like a kid in mine. I'm unky,
so you know, like a hye end you know, I'm
just like but white. But yeah, exactly exactly, and I'm like, hey,

piece of ship, maga mark and he like people are
like let him cook him all like you probably like
ho koge you piece of ship about like it's I

(53:44):
don't I'm not expecting for you to buy me another drink.
I could buy another drink. I could buy ten drinks. Right.
It's the principle of being a man and saying, hey,
I'm sorry I made I made a mistake, I made
a fault. It's the principle of that. And I hope
that kid. You know what, ray Man, I should have
did something I should have did to stay humble. Oh yeah,

(54:06):
you know, especially sometimes you need to stay humble, which
is the principle.

Speaker 1 (54:10):

Speaker 2 (54:12):
Some kicking the drink down man drink called suspensive. People
want to be lit up.

of the film. What's the name of the film.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Don't tell me that one movie? That one is a
the win in the nineteen twenties.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
The one that even the President at that time screened
it in his personal White House theater in front of
all kinds of other shmos. It's an iconic ass film,
I know, but for the wrong reason, for the wrong
But it's it's crazy how like certain films existed because
you don't just had to be existed to like you

(55:23):
had to.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
I watched it in films like some film needs to
be dispelled, you know what I'm saying. I watched it
in film school so and I was like, you know,
but you have to watch it and you have to
understand it. You have to take your ego and your
personal beliefs out from it and understand it. Yeah, I'm down.
We can like I mean, fucking forever.

Speaker 1 (55:41):
But still it's hard to like separate the art from
the artists, especially if you're you know, racist, and I
mean look at Kanye dude, Like, we don't know what
the fuck this guy stands where anymore? No common I
know he broke your heart, dog, I know as a
man here he's.
