It’s spooky season! Bodega Box Office official horror movie podcast episode: too many actors, not enough kills, and Matthew Lillard in his peak spittle phase. The movie is somehow better than the description, and this podcast episode meets somewhere in the middle of your high/low expectations.
Read MoreBusta Rhymes brings it as a truly frightening villain in the 2009 film BREAKING POINT. Sticky Fingaz has a smaller role but doesn't disappoint. We liked this movie at a perfectly paced 97 minutes, but there are some graphic depictions of domestic violence that made it kind of hard to watch.
Read MoreCurtis Snow’s biopic SNOW ON THA BLUFF may be a slight stretch to call a rap movie, but he technically is a rapper. And J Cole backed this movie aggressively. We had a mostly non-reaction to the film. But the mixtape that followed it is pure gold.
Read MoreBenny and Bjorn from Abba joined forces with Tim Rice to create the musical masterpiece CHESS. Sound is a bit suspect on this episode because we did it remotely and budget constraints are real. If you can hang with the sound quality we think you’ll find this a thoroughly enjoyable conversation. We get a little political, but that’s OK. Your annoying libertarian uncle doesn’t listen to this podcast anyways.
Read MoreI ACCIDENTALLY DOMED YOUR SON is a movie that we’ve been meaning to watch for a long time. It was panned by the critics, but who gives a shit? It has a script, a plot, good jokes, and great sound. And Kurupt is in it!! Ant digs deep in the crates for some unreleased Kurupt to finish the show.
Read More🚨 Emergency podcast episode to honor fallen legend Tommy "Tiny" Lister. We chose NO HOLDS BARRED starring Zeus Lister, Hulk Hogan, Kurt Fuller, Jesse Ventura and David Paymer. Music by Matlock and Boosie featuring Hurricane Chris.
Read MoreOn this episode we watched the “musical”(?) QUEEN OF THE DAMNED starring Aaliyah, Stuart Townsend, Marguerite Moreau, Lena Olin and Paul McGann and featuring music by Jonathan Davis of Korn. We try our hardest to celebrate Aaliyah but veer towards a conversation about Nu metal and some surprising crossovers into the rap world. We make up for it by playing some FIRE Aaliyah songs at the end.
Read MoreWe watched DEAD PRESIDENTS, a pretty good movie with an AWESOME soundtrack. Larenz Tate carries the film and 🚨SPOILER 🚨 Sticky Fingaz basically just shows up to die. Anthony plays two great tracks that tie into the political themes of the movie by Pharoahe Monch and R.A. The Rugged Man.
Read MoreSean McTiernan came through to discuss D-Shot’s film DON’T GET CAUGHT, starring E-40, Snoop Dogg, B-Legit, Cousin Fik, Bushwick Bill and Mike Epps.
Read MoreChris (@funkyassdg) from the Bad Wrestling Podcast came through to discuss Master P and the No Limit Soldiers vs. The West Texas Rednecks on WCW in 1999.
Read MoreFilmmaker and critic Scout Tafoya came through to figure out why the rap musical exists and why it had to be rap and why is it so popular. If you’re a massive fan of the musical, maybe this one is not for you.
Read MoreWriter Abe Beame (Passion of The Weiss) came through to discuss THE CARTER, the embattled documentary following Lil Wayne for a few months during his creative peak, after The Carter III leaked and before it went platinum.
Read MoreIDLEWILD is the Outkast musical, directed by Bryan Barber, starring both André and Big Boi, featuring songs from Speakerboxxx/The Love Below and the album of the same name. We finally got around to watching this flawed masterpiece with Nate from the awesome Kings of Sport Podcast. We also talk a lot about Andre guest verses and Da Art of Storytellin’ Part 4.
Read MoreInspired by The Last Dance, we watched the THIRD annual MTV Rock N Jock Basketball game from 1993. Kay Gee from Naughty By Nature is just one of the millions of reasons to check this one out.
Read MoreThis film stars Mack 10 and Fat Joe as dual leads. It’s on youtube now and you should watch it. It also has Ice Cube, Big Pun, B-Real, Mack 10, Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone and more. It also has a soundtrack that ended up more popular than the film itself, for good reason. We talk about all of this and more on our episode.
Read MoreHUSTLERS was one of the best films of 2019 and we watched it with our good friend Abbey. We talk a lot about the 2008 financial crash, feature some rappers who were also strippers, and we collectively freak out over THAT scene. You know the one.
Read MoreYes, we watched this movie. Call it an April Fool’s episode. Brandon Soderberg came through to talk about his upcoming book and to try and help us find a way to connect this film to some actual rap. Which we did. It’s great.
Read MoreDid an all-vinyl set for everyone in the house on quarantine. Very little actual mixing, just shitloads of great rap records.
Read MoreCritic, filmmaker and video essayist Scout Tafoya came through to watch Ice Cube and Jennifer Lopez in a 90 minute classic.
Read MoreSean McTiernan aka @NoChorus of The All Units podcast and the all new Shelf Regulating System YouTube channel came through to talk about Action Bronson’s acting debut in a little film called The Irishman. You might have heard of it. It’s long. The episode is almost longer. Enjoy.
