This weeks special guest @wuzgood
Dope is a 2015 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa and produced by Forest Whitaker and Nina Yang Bongiovi. It stars Shameik Moore, Tony Revolori, Kiersey Clemons, Kimberly Elise, Chanel Iman, Tyga, Blake Anderson, Zoë Kravitz, ASAP Rocky and Vince Staples. The film was also executive produced by Pharrell Williams and co-executive produced by Sean Combs.
Malcolm Adekanbi and his best friends, Jib and Diggy, are high school "geeks" living in "The Bottoms," a high-crime neighborhood in Inglewood, California. They idolize 90's hip hop music and fashion. Malcolm is confident he will be admitted to his dream school, Harvard University, but his school counselor is skeptical and suggests he take an interview with local businessman and Harvard alumnus, Austin Jacoby.

Can't wait! Dope the spiritual sequel to The Wood!
This was literally my favorite movie back in high school. It came out the summer going into my junior year! Literally seen this movie twice in one night and again the next day on a date 😂 it was ahead of its time and I appreciate you guys giving it its flowers 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The drug was molly not coke so thats probably why it seemed like lily was over actin and she did a whole lot so her reaction was pretty realistic
Big Jah I feel you on wanting a west coast dude to play ASAP's part. We just reviewed the new House Party and we had the same critique for the two mains not being Cali guys. Not bad actors but why not cast Cali actors for Cali characters?
The 5 heartbeats. 3 strikes. And should long kiss goodnight be a blackbuster
Those are great voices but unfortunately I don't think long kiss goodnight a black movie
Yea one black man don't make it a black movie. Even if it is Samuel the Jackson
@@SuperSwiftly lol “The” 💪🏾
Shout to E as the lesbian homie😅
Thanks for getting back to the good movies
Dooope! Love this show.
I love the reviews show y’all are doing . Idk if this is in that field to but check out ‘GhostDog: The Way Of The Samurai’
Been looking for a copy of this movie for Years!
You should check out The Inkwell
Has Friday been done yet?
Nope
Why I'm so late to the comments??
Y’all gotta Do “Life” , “Prison Song”, “state property”
Facts. I feel like they're jumping the gun with this one. What is the criteria for yall?
@@marckristian81i thought that initially but I think having a dynamic list instead of just expected classics every week would bring in different groups of people.
I like tone on this show. He seems passionate and has a good analysis on the movies & I liked his question about which three shows are most authentic to Inglewood. There is nothing wrong with taking pride in where you come from or the culture of those specific places.
There was a real heavy focus on the guest and his personal struggle with identity issues.
Tone is great
Ready for a ATL review.
Idk who picking these movies lol but dropped the ball on this one it's a good movie but it's not a classic
Why does diggy look like exactly E😂😂
We all said this at one point lol
I loved this movie…. I feel like it was a next gen Wood…. The Wood focused on the friendship, Dope focused on the street…. Not in a way of the hood but how the good kids can get caught up.
Jahh as I’m thinking about the conversation y’all are having…. You had a Malcolm moment yourself. When y’all did The Last Dragon, you talked about how you use to be the Karate kid and the hood made you “grow up out of that” in a sense. It all goes together to me.
Ima give this 3.5✊🏾I had it at a 3….. But I put it to a 3.5 for it to include Stacey! Lol this was a great movie!
They did Dope this week, they should do “Kicks”, in the weeks to follow.
Y’all seriously trippin about A$Ap Rocky playing a west coast dude from Inglewood when the movie “The Wood” which y’all did on this podcast starred Omar Epps a dude straight outta New York!?! Cmon y’all can’t be serious. We all black don’t matter where we come from. I’m happy to see our people on the screen no matter what region they come from
Man, I don't care who you are!! Black people love some Dragon Ball Z!! Back ground doesn't matter!!
Yall gotta do Low down Dirty Shame, Friday all of em, All about the Benjamin's, Bad Boys
Asap rocky’s character made sense because he could of just been a New York dude that moved to cali and set up shop.
Exactly! I don’t agree with this comment from them. Because you got ole boy from Snowfall acting on Power Raising Kanan, playing an East Coast 80s/90’s drug dealer. And he’s a west coast dude. I just care that the person can act and is believable.
Quincy was dope. Especially the scene in Fat burger
i been there with a chick and she decided to smoke weed and drink and i ended up babysitting her all night which sucked
Then kap g if u ever met a gangster of his race his race that seen was pretty legit and then the whole punch scene its like u can tell that he could tell malcom wasnt really a street dude and in his mind he probably like i can take a punch i aint no bitch so lemmie test this lil nigga right quick and see if he got enough heart to do what he came to do cause on some solid shit if malcom didn’t have the heart he almost woulda been settin him up for failure because malcom probably woulda fumbled the bag and end up gettin kilt or robbed or some
Scene*
Yeah that scene is pretty much what you said. He tested him to see if he was willing to do what he needed to do and to check he wasnt no shrimp lol even though he was he respected him and went through with the deal instead of robbing him
Lets get it 💯💯💯
Yo! We all hood, just not participants to the bull shit!
It's time to review Friday and also Do The Right Thing
BOYZ......IN........THE.......HOOD NEXT PLEASE
Great film! I absolutely loved "Dope" 4 Fists for sure...As an Inglewood native, it was really cool to see these characters maneuvering through the city. Super dope to get a Stacy cameo as well lol. Fantastic breakdown of the film my guys! Now on to the next...I'm rubbing my hands like Birdman anticipating next week's episode.
hood not street. Definitely a difference. I grow up hood never been in the street tho.
Y’all should do “Roll Bounce” 🔥🔥🔥
Hearing @multitoned mention wanting a Black "Goonies" I want to ask will you guys review, "Attack the Block"?
love Attack the block
@@wuzgood I love the dialogue combined with the suspense.
Such a good movie 👽
I love this movie because i can relate to Malcolm & i love how Rick Famuyima brought DeAndre Bonds back. Can we please get reviews on the following coming of age movies:
Cooley High
Boyz N The Hood
Roll Bounce
ATL
I was introduced to bitcoin from this movie
This definitely a new classic
I was Malcolm but had to hide it. Got made fun of for skateboarding. I liked rock and played guitar. It was a struggle to be me
Fishbone all black high school rock band Hamilton 1985
Ya'll need to do best supporting role
Bet money Love In Basketball up next
Fresh State Property 1 & 2 The Temptations
Naw you gotta decline that big dog
Y’all should do Barbershop 1 or 2
Massive Classic.
Lily was on Molly, not coke..
90210 was my shit
Stacy was MVP 😂
Dope!!!
Oh shit. Wuz in the building. Talking about Dope. Definitely tuning in
Bruh .. brother tone keep speaking on goonies 😂 too funny. Stop it 😂 house party 1,2 beats goonies with the four in a half blac fist ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 /
Do 3 strikes!!!
This podcast sophisticated af. Love it😊
P.S. I first saw @wuzgood in that @officialminks sketch and I love this guy’s voice! 😄
Vine was what it was for what it was and I’m almost glad they ain’t ever bring it back. It was creative and fun and really showcased raw, gritty talent and the real ones weren’t trying to hard. Like y’all spoke on it was people doing what they loved and it was original flow DOPE…. pun intended. Big ups to y’all and ya aready know I love yous!
I like your review…But, you guys missed a lot. Band camp is how they met the white boy so they’re musicians(Dr. Dre, Ferrel). The house party at USC…the world being exposed to them just from the backpack. Zoe Kravits is the ditch girl who didn’t have enough credits to graduate. The bootleg guy is a part of more underworld experience. The conversation with the Director of the Boys Club and the word play….and you didn’t even mention the soundtrack…which killed it…
Outstanding review! Thanks for the contract and loved the movie
I'm very surprised no one mentions E looking like diggy
I want to see how they discuss this one.
Great episode 🙌🏾
