Dead Presidents isn’t a bad movie at all it’s just depressing as FUCK! I can’t watch it all the way through again… that shit just… it’s just hella depressing man.
@@ddconwaysnostalgiclounge I would have switched dead presidents with Jason's Lyric as a Houstonian that movie was a bad representation on the city with bad accents 😂 and the mama was the real villain
I like how you pointed out black trauma. That’s exactly why I love The Wood. It shows regular black teens turned adults trying to make the best of their situations without turning to crime, but it doesn’t ignore that they live in a tough area with gangs around. It might not be the best hood movie out there, but it definitely hits closer to home for me than most.
Nah you cooking with this take. That's one the best hood movies of all time 😂. Hell it's one of the best coming of age stories of all time too, a great representation of a coming of age story for black teens. It's was our version of stand by me in my opinion lol and that's one of my favorite movies of all time. You're 100% right
Holiday heart will always be one of my favorites because my siblings and I went through the parents on crack phase... but this movie open my eyes to alot as a kid
Plus while Diamond was trying to keep Ebony out of trouble I always thought Ebony was the dumbest character in "The Player's Club" because she wasn't trying to listen to Diamond about Ronnie and her friends plus Ronnie was the reason why she got raped by her brother.
Yes I agree totally I’m sick of black trauma porn in all hood movies. I’m sick of the stereotypical bs with birth genders & tend to like other forms of media way better. I would like to get your thoughts on ones that aren’t so traumatic like “This Christmas”, “Love Jones”, “Two can play that game”, & “The Brothers”
Ive never seen Holiday Heart,but i do agree with you with White Hollywood's obsession with showing Black Trauma films. As great as films like Menace 2 Society and Boyz n the Hood are,i do think their influence on Black Filmmaking inspired Studios to only show Black Society as a Tragedy and Thats why im so Glad i grew up watching the Original Friday. As silly as it is it actually made Life in "The hood" seem just like a regular neighborhood. Ill always take Craig's conversation with his Father when hes found with the Gun as one of the most underrated moments in Black Cinema.
I have no problem with any of the Friday movies. I think they are all hilarious. I was a bit upset that smoky was replaced with Day day but Mike Epps did his thing
Some people say Next Friday is the best is the one out of the franchise. Dead Presidents is one of my favorite movies. Being retired military this movie hits different for me. Anthony made some bad decisions. He should have gotten with Delilah instead of Juanita & he wouldn’t had to deal with Cutty & he shouldn’t have gotten Cleon involved in the heist. Robert Townsend directed Holiday Heart. It was in heavy rotation on BET. Diamond’s father was the real villain in The Players Club & he was played by the late Dick Anthony Williams (Pretty Tony from The Mack). If he would have allowed Diamond to attend an HBCU maybe she wouldn’t have had to work at The Players Club. She didn’t apply for financial aid because she didn’t want to be paying off student loans. Diamond shouldn’t have gotten Eboni a job at The Players Club knowing how toxic it was. Myron played by Jimmy Woodard was one of the Midnight Falcons in The Five Heartbeats. Bones was a love letter to the blaxploitation area. It’s was inspired by JD’s Revenge.
Bro hopefully I keep dropping videos that are interesting enough to keep you in the comments with the knowledge check and your opinions 😂🙏🏾if you have any ideas or something you want to see a video on, don't hesitate to let me know dog. I appreciate you comments for sure🙏🏾
@@ddconwaysnostalgiclounge No problem. I would to see a video on the worst hood movie mothers featuring the following mothers: Brenda (Ricky & Doughboy’s mama from Boyz N The Hood) Carol (Jimmy’s mama from South Central) Khalia (Halle Berry’s character from Losing Isiah) Wanda from Holiday Heart Cassie (Loretta Devine’s character from Woman Thou Art Loosed).
In dead presidents, Anthony told Juanita to not wait for him and honestly when he got back home he should not have gotten back with her in the first place
I hate Friday 2 and Friday 3 was ok but could have done without it. I did not think dayday was funny at all! Chris Tucker made Friday. We only needed one!
@@NORIEGA200 lol I think day day was funny, but I understand the hate for both movies. I personally don't hate them, but I don't think they are nearly as good as the first. They are classics within the black community, but they definitely go down in quality as you watch.
I'll give you Friday After Next because it's a failed Christmas hood movie, that Mike Epps carried halfway. Next Friday on the other hand is actually good with the only real problem being The Joker Brothers aren't a serious threat. Damon was more of a threat in the second movie and all he did was act like he was still in prison. That scene with Katt Williams (who was the best character in the third movie) wasn't even scary because after he passed out Damon woke him and basically played with him until Money Mike grabbed the pliers.
@@ddconwaysnostalgiclounge LMAOOOOOOOOO. Alfre Woodard did her thing though. Every time I see someone with bad weave I tell “I got the bike Holiday!” In reference to her. 😂😂
I've said that in one of these videos. As time went on many of these evolved into classics, it's funny you say they are "black movies" it's plenty of comments on here that would consider these hood classics. And I know you ain't just name choices the movie like with 3 6? Out yo mind to call that a hood classic stop it
We give too much grace sometimes. Some of these movies I felt like were cash grabs for sure. We hide behind telling a story, but if the quality of what we see is ass then damn the story. And because we give that grace, hood movies never evolved for the better. There is a reason why the quality of hood films dropped and isn't good to this day.
Holiday Heart isn’t that bad. It has its funny moments & the end was messed up. It showed how selfless Holiday was as a person. He took on a whole child that had no blood relation to him. The little girl, meh, it was her first movie & Alfre Woodard phenomenal
I ain't gonna lie, I bought Crossover on dvd back when blockbuster was going out of business and selling 3-5 dollar dvd's. Anthony Mackie could'nt ball at all so its evident that he had stunt doubles and coaches on set to teach him how to dribble😅. It wasn't totally trash, but Wesley Jonathan, Hot Sauce, and that comedic dude saved the movie. Can't remember his name, but he was the young dude with the cornrows who did comedy and appeared on Wild'nout a few times. If you like basketball movies, its worth a watch.
I wonder would these be classified as “hood movies” if these same movies had an all white or non black cast. How is Player’s Club a hood movie? The main character wasn’t even from the hood. She came from a middle class background. Her dad was well to do as you can see by his house
I love the Friday franchise the first movie is my favorite in the franchise but the other felt like they was trying too hard plus I like the setting of The First One they was in their neighborhood on a Friday on a Friday and I like that the characters
The only problem I have with dead president is the movie market the face paint like it was gonna be a big part of the movie when it was a real small part of the movie I always felt like that robbery scene should've been longer
I'm glad someone finally said what I've always thought. Dead Presidents and Player's Club were garbage. The former because the main guy was ignoring all the crimes he committed and the latter because every man, except Diamond's son and Jaime Foxx's character, were trash and scum.
Dead Presidents isn’t a bad movie at all it’s just depressing as FUCK! I can’t watch it all the way through again… that shit just… it’s just hella depressing man.
MANE HEAVY ON THE DEPRESSING AF! That's how I feel about a lot of these traumatic ass black movies.

@@ddconwaysnostalgiclounge Naw fr lol
Nobody likes Crossover 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That movie has been considered trash ever since it came out.
😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅😅
Nigga you love Crossover so much you begged me to watch it and review it 😭😭😭
I first saw it on bootleg. Nigga we say that shit was ass. You can smell it through the tv😂
I’ve never seen it. Now I gotta go hate watch it.
Prison Song, Holiday Heart and Baby Boy. BET used to show those films every week for at least a year straight.
Civil brand too 😂
Dead presidents had me dead asf “what you mean fuck he mean”😂😂😂
The Roast of Holiday Heart was top tier🤣🤣🤣🤣
Holiday heart will always be one of my favorites because my siblings and I went through the parents on crack phase... but this movie open my eyes to alot as a kid
I feel like Hollywood was tryna embarrass Anthony mackie fr putting him in roles like crossover and him playing Tupac in the movie notorious 😂
Me too
The Holiday Heart roast was hilarious
😂😂😂
When he said that she met Lexington Steele in the alley….i lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Finally someone agrees with me, that next Friday was better than Friday after next. Ppl would argue me down 😂
Same
No way first Friday is the best one
Who tf would actually say that
🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢
@@curtissanderswalden9941 I know that. I was talking about the comparisons on the last two
Dead presidents was amazing..you tripping😂😂😂

Yeah dead president was the shit but I like your opinion
Yeah, Dead Presidents is a classic.
Yea Dead Presidents definitely a 🔥 film. But aye, everyone is entitled to their opinion
That movie sucked ass, but I’m happy we can all let people have the opinions.
I loved Next Friday because I was expecting trash when my ex dragged me to watch it and was pleasantly surprised.
You dead wrong for dead presidents too & absolutely right about holiday heart 😂

It's Good
But Trash🤣🤣🤣
I agree with you about Friday they definitely got the movies in order
I agree with Dead Presidents being depressing as hell, but it’s got its message through and through! Great movie for its moral.

Forever a classic!
It had funny moments....but overall its a garbage movie
Bruh your intro song is the best intro to any show I ever seen
Thank you
Holiday Heart was a wonderful movie! I can’t watch it without crying. Dead Presidents was also a classic.
Holiday heart is one of my favorites
I have no problem with any of the Friday movies. I think they are all hilarious. I was a bit upset that smoky was replaced with Day day but Mike Epps did his thing
Mike Epps carried both movies 😂.
He was important, but to say he carried is a bit dramatic there were still funny characters in those films
@@GoldenEra91 you take Mike Epps out of both, you have no movie that is interesting nor is it nearly as funny. Not dramatic at all.

I’m never watching Dead Presidents again. That shit too depressing
In dead presidents, Anthony told Juanita to not wait for him and honestly when he got back home he should not have gotten back with her in the first place
I guess because they had a kid he wanted to be a family man.
Terrible move on his part. She was fine though 🤦🏾♂️

Unless it's Friday after next and next Friday
@@ddconwaysnostalgiclounge classics and funny that's all they were meant for
