Acting note: Anger is one of the emotions that newer/untrained actors would go towards, but what they often end up doing is what’s called “playing a wash”, that is, playing an emotion without motive. Anger is most often the result of another emotion, you’re angry because you’re disappointed, angry because you’re sad etc. so when you try to portray that emotion without that depth, it comes across as hollow and unnatural.
OMG yeah That's what I felt when I was watching Emma Stone's performance in La La Land. She felt like she didn't know what she was supposed to be angry for. Always bothered me but couldn't find out why.
That and “I’m going to move over here and sit now because otherwise I’m not interesting to look at.” To be fair, that’s a directing mistake too. But those of you who are actors, trust yourself! Take a deep breath and LISTEN to your own impulse and only move when you feel it’s right.
That makes sense. Sometimes in movies the actors just.. doesn't know how to be angry? Like as if it's a new thing, when everyone had been angry at some point
SO you're telling me we went through all that but she doesn't gat back with her girlfriend - the only sane relationship she had. I get she doesn't have to, needs to to heal and all but COME ON IT'S RIGHT THERE
This movie is basically the equivalent of: "Two wives with shitty husbands form an arguably more healthy relationship with one another- but since it's a lesbian relationship, it's 'illegal' and thus can't be a proper marriage- so they force the 1st woman to marry the 2nd womans abusive, cheating husband who JUST GOT OUT OF JAIL instead. The end."
I hate to say this but it's weird how the dark skinned woman is treated the worst out of all of the three and exists to be bitter, especially when the main character is light skin, but maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Are you dark skinned? I ask because as a dark skinned woman that’s one of the FIRST things I noticed & I came to the comments to see if anyone else picked up on it. I don’t think you’re reading too much into it; depictions of dark skinned Black women as angry/bitter/generally problematic are literally everywhere in media (if we’re present at all). Like someone else said, it’s happening far too often to just be your imagination.
Lmao this is a low budget movie so I didn’t really notice it, but when it comes to big Hollywood movies it’s very noticeable. When a character is experiencing serious pain they cast a dark skin woman and when the character is the love interest it’s usually a light skin woman. When it’s time for a male character to be masculine and dominant they always cast a dark skin male. In movies and sitcoms the son is usually dark and the daughter is light skin or racially ambiguous.
i feel like nothing in the bad movies and a beat universe can surprise me anymore, but somehow the fact that cinematic classic "he played me" had a gay relationship was totally out of left field for me lmaoo edit: AND IT WAS BASED ON W H A T ??
That's what I was thinking as soon as I saw the poster, tbh. I was shocked that it wasn't. Even the way the woman was standing so your gaze immediately went to the ass made it look that way.
I do feel like the story being based around Yazmin and Nadia as the main couple with Jai as the antagonist that is out for revenge on both of them would've made for a much better story. A romantic-thriller LGBTQIA+ wlw movie with two black women as the leads would be an absolute masterpiece. But I know that this and the books were based off of the Author's real-life.
Experiencing a Nigerian movie while getting your hair braided is so unique...you can’t explain it...I fell asleep for three hours of one and picked up the storyline like I hadn’t slept at all, but I also missed SO much, it’s weird.
@@victoriashevlin8587 it's usually not ONE movie. They have part one, 2, 3 etc. It can go on for many movies 🤣 having a Nollywood movie standalone is super rare
@@victoriashevlin8587 very long. Some are 6 hours no joke. Then there is also the standard 2 hour ones. But mostly the hours are very long. You need to have time to watch and follow.
Yesss. I remember once while getting my hair braided falling asleep, waking up to the movie STILL on, actually getting invested in the story this time though I had missed like 2 hrs due to my nap and sitting there for another hour after she finished my hair just to see the end of the movie. 😆
Okay, so far the only redeeming quality about this “film” is that Nadia and Yazmin’s relationship is sweet and wholesome af. Not including them having sex after getting plastered. But they smiling, holding hands, painting together and shit. Nadia even decorated a hotel room with rose petals and little bitty candles.
Can I just stop watching here? I feel an impending sense that this scene is gonna go sideways, and I just want to stick with the thoughts of this happy gay couple hoping I can have that someday. I haven’t found the right woman, but men have only done me dirty, been dirty, or needed to take care of themselves. That last one was only one guy struggling with his bipolar disorder, and I fully respect him for making that call for both of our sakes.
I am shocked that Kennie never said how terrible these men beards are! Especially Yasmine's ex-husband... my god it looks like that thing was drawn on by a sharpie
yazmin and nadia’s relationship isnt reflected in the synopsis or title because it’s social commentary on how intimate relationships between women aren’t given legitimacy within society. it’s camp
I feel like two people cowrote this, one who wrote the beginning, another who wrote the end, and they just decided to meet in the middle without ever talking to one another.
I thought there was like a tiger roar sound right then! And I was like did he make that noise or are they watching a nature documentary in the background?
Tubi has an odd relationship with black movies. I remember for black history month the BEST movie in black history month section was head of state. The rest rest were movies like "My sidechick won the lotto" 🙄
The lesbian arc definitely had me going “Wait, hold up-“ but also like “Yesh, my black lesbians🥺”. A shame they weren’t end game, but it’s okay. The rest of the movie was pretty hilarious🤣🤣🤣 Also, sorry, I nearly laughed when she almost called her “Lumpy”💀
@@IceQueen975 I’m pretty sure that post wasn’t trying to give them “lesbian” identities or claim that they weren’t into dudes. “Yes, black lesbians”, as in wishing they had ended up together.
@@liteflightify Yup! Basically that. I feel I don’t see much of that represented in media, especially both of them being femme. At least from what I see. Two white femmes, maybe.
Only halfway into the video, but here's my understanding of the plot so far: Two married women enter into a relationship after finding themselves disillusioned with their husbands. Things are great, by all accounts, until they inexplicably end things to remain with their husbands. One of the women enters into a second affair with a man who turns out to be her ex girlfriend/lover's husband. While, the ex girlfriend bangs her husband's parole officer ... Is this The Sims? It feels very much like The Sims.
The "I'm sober" scene makes me think of certain types of conversational videos they have you watch when teaching you a foreign language. The oddly direct angles to make you feel like you're in the scene. Some of the pauses.
It’s sad to think that the blonde updo character was probably treated like shit by these people because she was a sex worker but I hope whoever that is in real life feels glad to have been left alone after all this mess
Man, I don’t care if it’s a true story. They shoulda retconned it to have Yaz say, “Wait-“ and grab Nadia’s hand after Nadia said, “It’s okay. I didn’t expect you to ride off into the sunset with me, but I really, really wanted you to.” They could end it there or have Yaz say, “You’re right. I choose happiness. With you, Nadia.” And then played out the potential life she should have had. Plenty of potential for family drama with the bible-studying dad and conservative husband and probably having to move away before Jai kills them both for Nadia leaving him. I MEAN, SHIT-THEY WERE PAINING TOGETHER IN A HOTEL ROOM AS A DATE 🥺🤧💗
There's a lot of gay, bi, and lesbian messy cheating love triangle movies on Tubi. If you look at their lgbt section, it has to be over 80% just married spouses cheating on their partners. There's so many
a word very similar to your definition of "ghetto": fucktangular (inf.; adj.): complicated and messy in many unpleasant and difficult ways here yall go !! new vocab
Honestly, the fact that it's so convoluted definitely seemed like a true story. Once the sidechick was brought into the bedroom, I got Tiny/T.I. type of teas.
@@LadyAstarionAncunin Still, “based” on on true story could mean literally ONE thing in the story kinda actually happened and other events around it are based on vague related events kinda guessed at that might have happened.
Maybe I'm sensitive.... but when Up-do got hit in the face with that money I had a thought. As soon as dude leave, go get the power tools, and loosen every screw in the house. Doorknob, bed frame, kitchen cabinet handles, bar stool chairs. Everything. Its not broken. Not damage. There is no destruction of property. Cause he had a screw loose to do that and leave her in his house unsupervised. I promise I've never done this before lol it's just a thought
Ngl I was rooting for Yazmin to just kill Jai and get back with Nadia. Don't know what it says that the adulterous relationship was the most healthy one but they both seemed happiest together so... Opportunity was missed there.
Tubi has a seemingly endless supply of weird, ultra cheap horror flicks that I think fell threw some sort of trash portal. You’re in for quite a time, can’t say it’ll be good, but it’ll be a time.
They have some great old grindhouse horror schlock. They have more horror movies than Netflix or any other streaming services, maybe even more than Shudder.
eventually, one of these gay side relationships are gonna play out and the two are gonna go run away and be happy and not stay in the relationship that's making them miserable for no real discernable reason.. one day 😔
They made this movie here in Detroit and there’s a whole sub genre of movies like this and I actually know one of the actors me and him are good friends and I saw this movie in theaters at bel air theater when it premiered and I tried to get me to buy the book which I already pay 35+ dollars for the ticket and it was $39 for the book and apparently this was based off true events. Kendall I’m so happy that you found this and I hope that you continue to find more movies like this that’s made in our state that are very very bad because I have things to say please hit me up if you want to collab

It's interesting to hear your take on using "ghetto" as an adjective! I was just reading something for my Masters course, and the author made a similar point. Describing something that was "of the ghetto" isn't inherently offensive, more just accurate. People who live in ghettos/marginalized areas are often barred from accessing resources or are isolated from surrounding people beyond their area. Thus, they have to resort to other means to fill those needs or develop other ways to deal the stress of living life as a marginalized, often lower class person. However, it becomes offensive when "things of the ghetto" are assigned to a specific group within the ghetto, primarily Black people. The author used the example of a haphazard plumbing fix. It's accurate to say it's a "ghetto fix" because lower socio-economic people often can't afford the repair or don't have access to affordable plumbing services. But the use of terms like "n*word rigged" is not only deeply offensive but ignorant as it implies only Black people are impoverished while ignoring the institutional factors that perpetuate cycles of poverty for Black people and all races.
Ooh, but I do love having Kennie say LGBTQunity while I’m completely out as bi/pansexual. Ooooh, it felt so nice this time. It doesn’t matter that my dad forgot, my mom exploded at me, and I can’t trust my brother for another decade at least for other shit. It’s been several months and tons of weekly trauma therapy appts since then. A glass of wine helped untwist the nerves in my gut, and I felt so genuinely happy at hearing “LGBTQunity.” It was real fuckin’ nice. It felt like a big, warm hug with Kennie and both the fan and gay communities 🥰🤗
This movie had the whole house laughing 😂 I might have to read the book 😭😭😭 I want compensation for this… twists. I STRONGLY BELIEVE IF YOU WANT TO WRITE A BOOK AND MAKE A MOVIE YOU CAN!!!!
Why did I think that was Cardi-B on the movie poster,, like they don't even look alike but I would 100% believe it if it was the case. Like I can totally see it for some reason.
Let's talk about how perfume just enhances the mood of everything. Because I recently bought like a 6 dollar perfume from Burlington coat factory just to try and it's AMAZING on me. I get so many compliments and people just loving be close by and hugging me. I got the same reaction with glossier you. I find warm and also neutral scents, sometimes earthy, sometimes clean perfume just work the best for me. But on my mom, floral spicy scents are just 💋👌 Or my brother, I got him a cologne I thought would compliment him and he freaked out with girls saying he smells good. Don't underestimate how powerful a good scent can make you, strong or hinted, it helps a lot with confidence. Edit: some other good scents to name are Clean Rain and Amber Romance. Such lovely scents!
I got something like that too, it smells so sweet and lasts more than 24 hours and just makes me feel happy, mine's called "La vida es bella". I don't know how expensive it is in USD but it was reasonably priced when I bought it last year
@@saccharineisnothoney I can't really describe the notes very well, I would describe as just sweet smelling but Google describes it as "fruity-floral and with a dose of musk to throw you off balance (in a good way)". Hope this helps!
I know a movie is confusing when Ken is walking us through it as step by step as possible and I still cant figure out what the heck is happening and what the story is suppose to be. XD
The unintelligible line was "good sh!t on that hookah lounge". But that's kind of the same as "you good". It can imply different feelings depending on tone and context. This was either an insincere or backhanded compliment...or outright sarcasm.
Okay I haven't finished the video but after watching the very first part, I have to include this PSA: do not use those services that they connect you with that supposedly set up all your other services for you. They usually do not even work, they can be very expensive if they do work, and it's just a waste of time.
I mention this because I did this myself, and after I called my actual internet company and told them that my power company had connected me to one of these services, they said oh yeah we are not affiliated with them they often try to do that to get your money and most of the time it doesn't even work. Only get your services directly from the company.
I feel like most this stuff really did happen and that is why it is so chaotic bc real life is far more complex than a movie. Like they were trynna put everything this women experienced in the movie but it didnt come together right bc the writer didnt know what to edit out or what to dramatize
literally shaking and vomiting and crying and falling down the stairs and rolling on the floor clutching my stomach in agony because tubitv isn't available in europe
I watched the full trailer for that movie with Owen Wilson and J.Lo and it looks… gloriously atrocious. Looking forward to its possible review next year?
I think I’m still a bit traumatized from the 11 hours of Nollywood movies I had to watch everytime I got my hair done. Every time I try to give them another chance, I regret it so much.
"I was short circuiting. I felt like I was doing quantum physics." 🤣🤣 I love this girl so fucking much. She gets me busting up laughing every week, and hits the nail on the head every.single.time when it comes to the misogynistic/problematic issues riddled in our bad (and good) movies. Keep it up, girl! ❤
If you're ever itchin' for a "So Bad It's Good" movie, I'd suggest either *Sick Nurses* or, *EXTE: Hair Extensions*. *Sick Nurses* is a Thai horror movie that's such a beautiful clusterf^^k full of catty nurses, lies, drama, demons, and a plot that's reminiscent of any soap opera that's gone fully off the rails in only the best of ways. *EXTE* is a Japanese horror film about literal haunted hair extensions, and /man/ does it have it all; bad CGI, over-the-top acting, insane yet iconic death scenes, creepy man with a hair fetish (and he sings!), some nostalgic campy-ness...so much to experience. Both are just two of the many little hidden gems from the early-2000's, truly remnants of an era of "Goofy But Gold" cinema. And as a bonus, they both have a sub and a dub, and the dub versions are just...~chef's kiss~
I don't even mind the acting so much. It's the hard-looking wigs/weave for me. You can be a bad actor, but if your hair is laid and the story is entertaining, I have a high tolerance (as someone who watches bad movies on purpose).
Especially in this day and age. So many African countries are stepping up their film game, and I think it's just become a running gag in Nigeria at this point
If you’re looking for a bad movie for next week’s video, I highly recommend that you watch ‘Idle Hands’! It’s about a teenage stoner who gets his hand possessed by a demon and hilarity ensues. It’s such a 90’s fever dream and Vivica Fox also stars in it!
All I remember of that movie is Seth Green and Devon Sawa with Jessica Alba or Rachel Leigh Cook as the love interest. Movies from 1997-2010 were troupe-filled bad movie delights!!!
@@cakedUraniumMuffin it was Jessica Alba! I have a soft spot for that film and definitely had to rewatch the trailer and come back to this video after finding this comment. Definitely going to watch it tonight!
The female's main character make up is giving Nollywoood😭😭, and why does her dad look like a Nigerian Uncle ✋🏾💀. I think the casting director or the make up artist are Nigerian because there is no way this film is fully American. The Nollywood influence is too obvious 😭😭.
As a member of the alphabet mafia (trans-gendervoid pansexual) the way I was like "surprise gay? In a black movie??? I love surprise gay" that shit caught me so off guard. I'm big mad she didn't end up with Nadia in the end. Like, Sapphic people have gotten married with far less chemistry. They couldn't even *date?*

I would pay money to watch Kennie watching Naija films live 😂😂
I feel like two people cowrote this, one who wrote the beginning, another who wrote the end, and they just decided to meet in the middle without ever talking to one another.
Basically every college group project😂
also what Activision Blizzard forces its writers to do
“I didn’t mean to upset you.”
“THEN DONT!”
The music in the background: “eËeRruGh 👺👹”
I thought there was like a tiger roar sound right then! And I was like did he make that noise or are they watching a nature documentary in the background?
Tubi has an odd relationship with black movies. I remember for black history month the BEST movie in black history month section was head of state. The rest rest were movies like "My sidechick won the lotto" 🙄
Now I wanna check out tubi
Yes! I stay away from the Black movies.
It's a mix of bad and good movies I've found some really good black movies on tubi
Then they take away the great movies like the blaxploitation.
💀💀💀💀
The Nollywood level acting disclaimer in the warnings is telling me all I need to know- 💀🇳🇬
The lesbian arc definitely had me going “Wait, hold up-“ but also like “Yesh, my black lesbians🥺”. A shame they weren’t end game, but it’s okay. The rest of the movie was pretty hilarious🤣🤣🤣
Also, sorry, I nearly laughed when she almost called her “Lumpy”💀
Bisexual. They are both married to men and into men as well.
@@IceQueen975 I’m pretty sure that post wasn’t trying to give them “lesbian” identities or claim that they weren’t into dudes. “Yes, black lesbians”, as in wishing they had ended up together.
I'm over here like, "I don't like cheating either, but I hope they end up together." Oh well.
2 black femmes as well, pretty rare representation
@@liteflightify Yup! Basically that. I feel I don’t see much of that represented in media, especially both of them being femme. At least from what I see. Two white femmes, maybe.
He Played Me is giving ghetto Lifetime. This is the kind of trash me and my mom would grab at the movie rental and watch on a Friday night.
Only halfway into the video, but here's my understanding of the plot so far: Two married women enter into a relationship after finding themselves disillusioned with their husbands. Things are great, by all accounts, until they inexplicably end things to remain with their husbands. One of the women enters into a second affair with a man who turns out to be her ex girlfriend/lover's husband. While, the ex girlfriend bangs her husband's parole officer ... Is this The Sims? It feels very much like The Sims.
when you go to eat dinner and accidentally leave the game unpaused lmao
It’s so funny how Tubi can go from Django to “Turned Out” . It’s such a mixed bag of good and bad
I LOVE TURNED OUT! its so horrible but hilarious, its a terrible favorite
Turned out? Lol sounds like my next watch!
The "I'm sober" scene makes me think of certain types of conversational videos they have you watch when teaching you a foreign language. The oddly direct angles to make you feel like you're in the scene. Some of the pauses.
Omg this is EXACTLY it. Gave me BBC "Mi vida loca" vibes lmao.
That scene made me feel very bad for him
“ you married my ex husband ?” I couldn’t stop laughing at the way she said it 🤣🤣
I was halfway through thinking "this isn't so wild, what's she talking about?" and then the second half hit me like a truck
Had me in the first have ngl. It sounded too normal 🤣

It’s sad to think that the blonde updo character was probably treated like shit by these people because she was a sex worker but I hope whoever that is in real life feels glad to have been left alone after all this mess
Man, I don’t care if it’s a true story. They shoulda retconned it to have Yaz say, “Wait-“ and grab Nadia’s hand after Nadia said, “It’s okay. I didn’t expect you to ride off into the sunset with me, but I really, really wanted you to.” They could end it there or have Yaz say, “You’re right. I choose happiness. With you, Nadia.” And then played out the potential life she should have had. Plenty of potential for family drama with the bible-studying dad and conservative husband and probably having to move away before Jai kills them both for Nadia leaving him. I MEAN, SHIT-THEY WERE PAINING TOGETHER IN A HOTEL ROOM AS A DATE 🥺🤧💗
There's a lot of gay, bi, and lesbian messy cheating love triangle movies on Tubi. If you look at their lgbt section, it has to be over 80% just married spouses cheating on their partners. There's so many
Not a single one of them has a budget btw

“Born pregnant with twins…like a Turducken” takes the cake for my favorite line today. I snorted. 😂😂😂
This is based on a true story?! I have no words...
someone watched Investigation Discovery or SNAPPED and then wrote this book and changed the names prob..
You actually need to have very little "facts" in a story to "base" it on a true story.
I'm just...to have that be the closing statement after everything else we've experienced...I just
Honestly, the fact that it's so convoluted definitely seemed like a true story. Once the sidechick was brought into the bedroom, I got Tiny/T.I. type of teas.
@@LadyAstarionAncunin Still, “based” on on true story could mean literally ONE thing in the story kinda actually happened and other events around it are based on vague related events kinda guessed at that might have happened.
Maybe I'm sensitive.... but when Up-do got hit in the face with that money I had a thought. As soon as dude leave, go get the power tools, and loosen every screw in the house. Doorknob, bed frame, kitchen cabinet handles, bar stool chairs. Everything. Its not broken. Not damage. There is no destruction of property. Cause he had a screw loose to do that and leave her in his house unsupervised.
I promise I've never done this before lol it's just a thought
as a bisexual, im not sure if we wanna claim this as representation or not 💀💀
I don't think that "blonde updo" being a dark-skinned woman and the character everyone dumps on is a coincidence. SMH

Ngl I was rooting for Yazmin to just kill Jai and get back with Nadia. Don't know what it says that the adulterous relationship was the most healthy one but they both seemed happiest together so... Opportunity was missed there.

"equalize him" has me rollin 🤣🤣
“I was gonna call her lumpy” sent me😂💀😂
No because the diagram for the relationships in this movie looks like a college math class.
Tubi has a seemingly endless supply of weird, ultra cheap horror flicks that I think fell threw some sort of trash portal. You’re in for quite a time, can’t say it’ll be good, but it’ll be a time.
They have some great old grindhouse horror schlock. They have more horror movies than Netflix or any other streaming services, maybe even more than Shudder.
eventually, one of these gay side relationships are gonna play out and the two are gonna go run away and be happy and not stay in the relationship that's making them miserable for no real discernable reason.. one day 😔
They made this movie here in Detroit and there’s a whole sub genre of movies like this and I actually know one of the actors me and him are good friends and I saw this movie in theaters at bel air theater when it premiered and I tried to get me to buy the book which I already pay 35+ dollars for the ticket and it was $39 for the book and apparently this was based off true events. Kendall I’m so happy that you found this and I hope that you continue to find more movies like this that’s made in our state that are very very bad because I have things to say please hit me up if you want to collab

It's interesting to hear your take on using "ghetto" as an adjective! I was just reading something for my Masters course, and the author made a similar point.
Describing something that was "of the ghetto" isn't inherently offensive, more just accurate. People who live in ghettos/marginalized areas are often barred from accessing resources or are isolated from surrounding people beyond their area. Thus, they have to resort to other means to fill those needs or develop other ways to deal the stress of living life as a marginalized, often lower class person.
However, it becomes offensive when "things of the ghetto" are assigned to a specific group within the ghetto, primarily Black people.
The author used the example of a haphazard plumbing fix. It's accurate to say it's a "ghetto fix" because lower socio-economic people often can't afford the repair or don't have access to affordable plumbing services.
But the use of terms like "n*word rigged" is not only deeply offensive but ignorant as it implies only Black people are impoverished while ignoring the institutional factors that perpetuate cycles of poverty for Black people and all races.
“Ghettos” came from Europe anyway, so it being applied to Black people is bs. 🤦🏽♀️

That phone situation is the reason I have anxiety when I call people 😅
Anybody else came back to this video because the sequel came out and wanted a refresh?
God bless Kennie for putting herself through these movies to offer us such immaculate content
Ooh, but I do love having Kennie say LGBTQunity while I’m completely out as bi/pansexual. Ooooh, it felt so nice this time. It doesn’t matter that my dad forgot, my mom exploded at me, and I can’t trust my brother for another decade at least for other shit. It’s been several months and tons of weekly trauma therapy appts since then. A glass of wine helped untwist the nerves in my gut, and I felt so genuinely happy at hearing “LGBTQunity.” It was real fuckin’ nice. It felt like a big, warm hug with Kennie and both the fan and gay communities 🥰🤗

Let's talk about how perfume just enhances the mood of everything. Because I recently bought like a 6 dollar perfume from Burlington coat factory just to try and it's AMAZING on me. I get so many compliments and people just loving be close by and hugging me. I got the same reaction with glossier you.
I find warm and also neutral scents, sometimes earthy, sometimes clean perfume just work the best for me.
But on my mom, floral spicy scents are just 💋👌
Or my brother, I got him a cologne I thought would compliment him and he freaked out with girls saying he smells good.
Don't underestimate how powerful a good scent can make you, strong or hinted, it helps a lot with confidence.
Edit: some other good scents to name are Clean Rain and Amber Romance. Such lovely scents!
Drop the name sis!!! I'm so curious!!!
I got something like that too, it smells so sweet and lasts more than 24 hours and just makes me feel happy, mine's called "La vida es bella". I don't know how expensive it is in USD but it was reasonably priced when I bought it last year
@@-Desire I look it up, I love sweet and warm smells. Can you describe notes in it? Like different things it may smell like?
@@saccharineisnothoney I can't really describe the notes very well, I would describe as just sweet smelling but Google describes it as "fruity-floral and with a dose of musk to throw you off balance (in a good way)". Hope this helps!

TUBI is so good for bad movies. My mom watches a few on the regular
The unintelligible line was "good sh!t on that hookah lounge". But that's kind of the same as "you good". It can imply different feelings depending on tone and context. This was either an insincere or backhanded compliment...or outright sarcasm.
Okay I haven't finished the video but after watching the very first part, I have to include this PSA: do not use those services that they connect you with that supposedly set up all your other services for you. They usually do not even work, they can be very expensive if they do work, and it's just a waste of time.
I mention this because I did this myself, and after I called my actual internet company and told them that my power company had connected me to one of these services, they said oh yeah we are not affiliated with them they often try to do that to get your money and most of the time it doesn't even work. Only get your services directly from the company.
I assumed it would have been a discount, thanks for commenting that

There's just so much going on in this one that I can't believe it's a movie and not a three-season show...wow.
"I was short circuiting. I felt like I was doing quantum physics." 🤣🤣
I love this girl so fucking much. She gets me busting up laughing every week, and hits the nail on the head every.single.time when it comes to the misogynistic/problematic issues riddled in our bad (and good) movies. Keep it up, girl! ❤
If you're ever itchin' for a "So Bad It's Good" movie, I'd suggest either *Sick Nurses* or, *EXTE: Hair Extensions*.
*Sick Nurses* is a Thai horror movie that's such a beautiful clusterf^^k full of catty nurses, lies, drama, demons, and a plot that's reminiscent of any soap opera that's gone fully off the rails in only the best of ways. *EXTE* is a Japanese horror film about literal haunted hair extensions, and /man/ does it have it all; bad CGI, over-the-top acting, insane yet iconic death scenes, creepy man with a hair fetish (and he sings!), some nostalgic campy-ness...so much to experience. Both are just two of the many little hidden gems from the early-2000's, truly remnants of an era of "Goofy But Gold" cinema.
And as a bonus, they both have a sub and a dub, and the dub versions are just...~chef's kiss~
On that Nollywood note, the quality gap between Nigeria’s movies and their music/music videos needs to be studied 🤣
truly!!
I don't even mind the acting so much. It's the hard-looking wigs/weave for me. You can be a bad actor, but if your hair is laid and the story is entertaining, I have a high tolerance (as someone who watches bad movies on purpose).
@@LadyAstarionAncunin you know the hard wigs is part of the movie. 😂😂🤣🤣
@@LadyAstarionAncunin omg the wigs truly do stress me out especially if the character is supposed to be a rich boss type woman
Especially in this day and age. So many African countries are stepping up their film game, and I think it's just become a running gag in Nigeria at this point
If you’re looking for a bad movie for next week’s video, I highly recommend that you watch ‘Idle Hands’! It’s about a teenage stoner who gets his hand possessed by a demon and hilarity ensues. It’s such a 90’s fever dream and Vivica Fox also stars in it!
All I remember of that movie is Seth Green and Devon Sawa with Jessica Alba or Rachel Leigh Cook as the love interest.
Movies from 1997-2010 were troupe-filled bad movie delights!!!
@@cakedUraniumMuffin it was Jessica Alba! I have a soft spot for that film and definitely had to rewatch the trailer and come back to this video after finding this comment. Definitely going to watch it tonight!

As a member of the alphabet mafia (trans-gendervoid pansexual) the way I was like "surprise gay? In a black movie??? I love surprise gay" that shit caught me so off guard.
