    “You're right. I am crazy. And you know what else?" (Juice)

    In 1992, Ernest R. Dickerson cast unknown actors Omar Epps, Tupac Shakur, as black youths growing up in Harlem, following their day-to-day activities, their struggles with police harassment, rival neighborhood gangs and their families. Does the 30-year gap since its release negatively age the story or characters? How did rapper turned actor Tupac's acting debut compare to his counterparts? Is the alternate ending better than the original? We discuss.....

    "Do I look stupid to you? Is that a trick question?" (Class Act)

    This week's "film" Class Act is the 1992 American "comedy" film directed by Randall Miller and starring hip-hop duo Kid 'n Play. The gang shares whether or not the screwball comedy has aged gracefully or if there's a place for it among the pantheon of hood classics.

    "Fear is the Mind Killer" (Dune)

    This episode we discuss Denis Villeneuve's Dune. The film is the third adaptation of the 1965 epic science fiction novel by author Frank Herbert. Does the star-studded lineup including Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, and Javier Bardem, do the film justice? Can a Syfy film with source material almost 60 years old appeal to modern audiences? WE break it down and put it through the Littness Test.

    "Just a Man. Here to kill a scorpion." (Harder they Fall)

    This episode the crew reviews the Notorious 9, BKA the revisionist western film The Harder They Fall. The all-black cast was a refreshing sight to see in the western genre but how does the film stand on its own besides the star power? Does the plethora of A and B list actors help or hurt the film? With nods to spaghetti westerns, blaxploitation, action and comedy, where does it land?

  5. 01/14/2020

    "Your Move, Creep" (RoboCop)

    The discussion this week centers around the man of steel, no, not THAT one. RoboCop. Does the 1987  film starring  Peter Weller do what its programmed to do? With a somewhat recent remake (2014), how high did the original set the bar? Also, Kurtwood Smith b.k.a Red Forman's dark past.

  6. 01/07/2020

    "The Chicago Way" (The Untouchables)

    In episode 6,  we review Brian De Palmas star-studded crime drama, The Untouchables. Released in 1987, we revisit prohibition-era Chicago and give our thoughts on Sean Connerys oscar-winning performance and answer the question, was Kevin Costner's Elliot Ness the hero or villain?

  7. 10/15/2019

    "Put on a happy face" (Batman)

    G. Smith and King Dave revisit Ghotham City in Tim Burtons 1989 Batman. How does the classic film hold up against diffrent versions weve seen recently? Was Michael Keaton'sGotham dramitic portrayol of bruce Wayne too drab portrayal too dramatic? Is this a Batman film or a Joker film WITH Batman? We discuss.

    "A Mission From God" (The Blues Brothers)

    It's a  Musical! Kinda. This episode KIng Dave and Mr. Smith consider the 1989 SNL sketch turned John Hughes film Blues Brothers.  How did the recurring sketch translate to the big screen?  Did the cast of mostly musicians hold their own? Were the absurd scene choices taken by Akroyd and Landis, hilariously bizarre or too much? Tune in.

  9. 09/18/2019

    ''Pardon my French'' (Ferris Bueller's Day Off)

    King Dave and G Smith deliberate the iconic status of the teen comedy Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  How have the high school antics of the cool slacker Ferris Bueller aged over the past 33 years? Were Matthew Broderick and Alan Ruck believable as high school best buds? Is it still Lit, or should it be in detention?  We discuss.

    "Say goodnight to the bad guy!" (Scarface)

    King Dave and G. Smith dissect the 1983 cult classic Scarface.  Embraced and beloved by the hip hop community and fans of gangster films alike. Does the movie deserve the praise, or is it worthy of death by chainsaw?

  11. 09/03/2019

    "We Don't Need Roads" (Back to the Future)

    On this premiere episode we discuss and put to the test Robert Zemeckis 1985 film, "Back to the Future". This had everything! Bold casting decisions, a controversial story, and unique soundtrack. But, was this sci-fi flick a classic or should it have gone the way of the Delorean?
