Speaker: 00:00:01

Welcome to Hip Hop Movie Club, the show

that harmonizes the rhythm of hip hop with

00:00:05,083 --> 00:00:06,583

the magic of movies.

00:00:06,625 --> 00:00:11,458

Today we're discussing Next Friday, the

first sequel to the comedy classic Friday,

00:00:11,458 --> 00:00:15,083

starring Ice Cube, Mike Epps, and John

Witherspoon.

00:00:15,583 --> 00:00:18,625

We're three old heads who put their old

heads together to vibe on these films for

00:00:18,625 --> 00:00:19,125

you.

00:00:19,125 --> 00:00:24,791

I'm Dyno Wright, podcaster, filmmaker,

longtime hip hop fan, and I was 16 years

00:00:24,791 --> 00:00:30,625

old on the day of Ice Cube's Good Day,

which is thought to be January 20th, 1992.

00:00:32,750 --> 00:00:38,041

I'm JB, 80s and 90s nostalgia junkie,

longtime hip hop fan, and chiggety

00:00:38,041 --> 00:00:42,000

chiggety check yourself before you wreck

yourself is definitely part of my daily

00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,083

lexicon.

00:00:43,916 --> 00:00:45,500

Ha ha, nice.

00:00:45,875 --> 00:00:51,208

I'm Boogie, a DJ, long time hip hop fan,

and this movie contains one of my all time

00:00:51,208 --> 00:00:52,291

favorite joints.

00:00:52,291 --> 00:00:53,916

You can do it.

00:00:54,416 --> 00:00:55,625

Yes.

00:00:58,875 --> 00:01:00,291

That's a great song.

00:01:00,291 --> 00:01:03,958

In this episode, we'll answer the

question, is Next Friday equally as funny

00:01:03,958 --> 00:01:05,541

as the original in this series?

00:01:05,541 --> 00:01:09,041

And we'll give you five key takeaways to

make you a smarter hip hop movie fan.

00:01:11,250 --> 00:01:16,375

In Next Friday, Debo the terrifying bully,

escapes prison and is out for revenge on

00:01:16,375 --> 00:01:17,250

Craig.

00:01:17,250 --> 00:01:21,708

To escape, Craig seeks refuge in the

suburbs with his uncle Elroy and cousin

00:01:21,708 --> 00:01:22,750

Day -Day.

00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:26,833

However, the Burbs are no field day for

Craig and Day -Day, as the Joker Brothers

00:01:26,833 --> 00:01:29,250

prove to be worthy foes.

00:01:29,250 --> 00:01:33,083

In this one, there's slightly less weed,

but just as much adventure.

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,166

Here are five things you need to know

about Next Friday.

00:01:37,166 --> 00:01:39,250

One, there's no Chris Tucker.

00:01:39,250 --> 00:01:43,041

Ice Cube proves that he can carry the film

as the main star.

00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:43,708

00:01:43,708 --> 00:01:47,625

The late John Witherspoon shows off his

signature ridiculous humor.

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,166

00:01:49,375 --> 00:01:52,958

Jacob Vargas as Big Joker is a hoot.

00:01:52,958 --> 00:01:53,250

00:01:53,250 --> 00:01:57,125

We wanted more Debo but at least he drives

the plot line.

00:01:57,333 --> 00:01:57,708

00:01:57,708 --> 00:02:01,666

The soundtrack features some prominent hip

-hop artists and is punctuated by the

00:02:01,666 --> 00:02:05,583

memorable You Can Do It by Ice Cube, Mack

Ten, and Miss Toi

00:02:07,833 --> 00:02:11,000

All right, let's dig into next Friday.

00:02:11,041 --> 00:02:14,791

First takeaway, we mentioned there is no

Chris Tucker in this one, but Ice Cube

00:02:14,791 --> 00:02:19,708

does prove he can carry the film as the

main star.

00:02:20,208 --> 00:02:24,208

I thought he was relatable in this one as

he was in the original and he kind of

00:02:24,208 --> 00:02:28,750

carried more of the starring role.

00:02:28,958 --> 00:02:32,458

Boogie, what do you think about Cube in

this one as Craig?

00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:38,791

Yeah, I think in this movie, you know, Ice

Cube really starts to flex his star power.

00:02:38,791 --> 00:02:40,958

I think he takes it up a notch.

00:02:41,625 --> 00:02:49,333

In Friday, you know, a lot of the crazy

over the top antics and one liners were

00:02:49,333 --> 00:02:53,250

coming from Chris Tucker, you know, but as

we see in this movie, there's no Chris

00:02:53,250 --> 00:02:53,416

coming from Chris Tucker, you know, but as

we see in this movie, there's no Chris

00:02:53,416 --> 00:02:57,166

Tucker, which they actually did fill up

the plothole by saying that he went away,

00:02:57,166 --> 00:03:02,333

Smokey went away to rehab, which makes

sense because he did smoke a lot, but.

00:03:02,375 --> 00:03:06,250

we do see that Ice Cube has the capacity to carry a movie.

00:03:06,291 --> 00:03:08,083

And he does really well with this one.

00:03:08,083 --> 00:03:13,166

We have Mike Epps playing his cousin Day-Day

00:03:14,791 --> 00:03:17,083

Who’s funny in his own way.

00:03:17,166 --> 00:03:20,166

But is where we really get to see that Ice Cube has what it takes.

00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,541

He has some good

00:03:22,541 --> 00:03:25,708

antics in the movie and interactions with other characters.

00:03:27,083 --> 00:03:28,958

Yeah, I think he did really well.

00:03:31,041 --> 00:03:32,958

Yeah, DynoWright, what were your thoughts on Craig?

00:03:34,041 --> 00:03:36,958

His role in this one, the way Ice

Cube portrayed him.

00:03:37,416 --> 00:03:39,125

I think he did really well.

00:03:40,208 --> 00:03:46,416

I do think not having Chris Tucker hurt a

lot and I think it's kind of unfair to

00:03:46,416 --> 00:03:49,208

compare Mike Epps and Chris Tucker,

they're completely different kind of

00:03:49,208 --> 00:03:53,833

comedic actors, but I really missed

Smokey.

00:03:55,125 --> 00:03:59,875

I don't think this film is as good as

Friday, like not close, but I think

00:03:59,875 --> 00:04:00,416

Boogie's right.

00:04:00,416 --> 00:04:03,250

I think you really see Ice Cube flexes his

00:04:03,250 --> 00:04:06,916

muscles more as the star of a movie.

00:04:06,916 --> 00:04:13,041

He did write this film as he did Friday

with DJ Pooh And so and this is the first

00:04:13,041 --> 00:04:14,875

of his production company, his own

production company, CubeVision.

00:04:14,875 --> 00:04:17,083

So he's starting to make his move.

00:04:17,291 --> 00:04:19,916

But there are other issues.

00:04:19,916 --> 00:04:22,666

But Craig and Ice Cube isn't one of them.

00:04:22,791 --> 00:04:26,666

I liked I liked Ice Cube's portrayal in

this one.

00:04:27,041 --> 00:04:28,750

Like I said, Craig's a normal guy.

00:04:28,750 --> 00:04:30,458

He's easy to root for.

00:04:30,458 --> 00:04:35,041

He's a guy likes to just hang out, toke

up, have a good time, chases some skirts

00:04:35,041 --> 00:04:38,916

around, tries to has to shake the

embarrassment of his dad's odd

00:04:38,916 --> 00:04:40,375

idiosyncrasies.

00:04:40,375 --> 00:04:43,541

And then his uncle's fetishes.

00:04:44,666 --> 00:04:48,583

Craig has Craig had Craig has some

fantasies, which you know, that was a

00:04:48,583 --> 00:04:51,166

theme in the first one as well.

00:04:51,166 --> 00:04:56,208

And then there were some scenes that I

think he stole the show, which I was

00:04:56,208 --> 00:04:57,375

laughing a lot.

00:04:57,375 --> 00:05:00,375

To the mailman or the delivery guy,

Michael Rappaport, played by Michael

00:05:00,375 --> 00:05:01,000

Rappaport.

00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,875

I love the line where he's like, I played

for the Cucamonga Cracker Killers.

00:05:04,875 --> 00:05:05,250

Want tickets?

00:05:05,250 --> 00:05:06,291

Hahaha

00:05:06,291 --> 00:05:08,041

I laughed at that.

00:05:09,333 --> 00:05:15,875

I liked the scene when there was the

African man, literally from Africa.

00:05:15,916 --> 00:05:21,250

He was making a big scene and causing a stir in Pinky’s record store, which Day-Day was working at.

00:05:21,333 --> 00:05:26,416

And Craig beat him down, took care of it because he’s a tough guy now since he had stood up to Debo in the first one.

00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:29,500

And then the standoff with Pinky. When Pinky, the owner of the record store,

00:05:30,666 --> 00:05:33,125

thinks he’s robbing the store. And then there’s

00:05:33,541 --> 00:05:36,166

up, and they're battling for the gun.

00:05:36,875 --> 00:05:43,166

I thought Ice Cube did a good job with

Craig on those parts, those scenes.

100

00:05:43,166 --> 00:05:46,750

Yeah, I liked it in terms of Craig's role.

101

00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,041

Yeah, those scenes in Pinky’s were funny.

102

00:05:50,041 --> 00:05:51,541

Definitely funny.

103

00:05:52,666 --> 00:05:56,291

Michael Blackson, that player who

portrayed the African, he's, I can't get

104

00:05:56,291 --> 00:05:57,916

jiggy with this.

105

00:05:59,750 --> 00:06:02,708

He's trying to go off, he's gotta go off on Day-Day.

106

00:06:02,708 --> 00:06:05,625

the best parts that we didn't get enough

of that, I thought.

107

00:06:05,625 --> 00:06:06,833

Like, that kind of stuff.

108

00:06:06,833 --> 00:06:10,250

Because Friday had all kinds of stuff like

that and we didn't get that.

109

00:06:10,250 --> 00:06:15,333

But fun fact, Michael Blackson is Eli

Apple from the Dolphins, his uncle.

110

00:06:15,416 --> 00:06:16,625

No way!

111

00:06:16,625 --> 00:06:19,333

At least the internet said so.

112

00:06:19,333 --> 00:06:22,416

The internet said he's Michael Blackson is his

uncle.

113

00:06:23,166 --> 00:06:24,375

is Eli Apple.

114

00:06:24,375 --> 00:06:26,125

Eli Apple used to be on the Giants too.

115

00:06:26,125 --> 00:06:29,666

Yeah, he's been, he was on the Giants, he

was on the Bengals.

116

00:06:29,666 --> 00:06:30,750

He's bounced around a bit.

117

00:06:30,750 --> 00:06:32,541

He's kind of...

118

00:06:33,125 --> 00:06:38,125

Sometimes he gets burnt on these pass

plays, but he's been around a while, so

119

00:06:38,125 --> 00:06:39,583

kudos to Eli Apple.

120

00:06:39,583 --> 00:06:41,125

That's pretty funny.

121

00:06:41,166 --> 00:06:46,750

that short cameo or that short role he had

was like the umfufu bit from Eddie Murphy,

122

00:06:46,750 --> 00:06:48,500

"Raw" I like come to life.

123

00:06:48,750 --> 00:06:51,916

I felt like they took it right out of Eddie Murphy.

124

00:06:52,833 --> 00:06:54,166

Eddie!

125

00:06:54,875 --> 00:07:01,708

It was so funny how he was going off and then Craig just walks behind him like “ugh”

126

00:07:01,750 --> 00:07:06,375

It’s like flicking a fly away. Alright, get out of here.

127

00:07:06,458 --> 00:07:10,333

That initial interaction with Pinky, was funny too. That was hilarious.

128

00:07:10,541 --> 00:07:13,541

Hahaha

129

00:07:14,625 --> 00:07:15,333

Yeah, Clifton Powell.

130

00:07:15,333 --> 00:07:17,000

Yeah, he comes in looking like a pimp. Yeah.

131

00:07:17,208 --> 00:07:18,916

That was kinda crazy.

132

00:07:18,958 --> 00:07:21,958

Meanwhile, he’s battling with Ice Cube, with Craig.

133

00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,208

And in the back, his buddies Day-Day and Roach, they’re just toking up, having a good time

134

00:07:27,208 --> 00:07:30,208

they’re oblivious to what’s going on in, on the main floor there.

135

00:07:31,250 --> 00:07:32,250

Yeah.

136

00:07:32,250 --> 00:07:33,375

That was funny.

137

00:07:33,375 --> 00:07:41,041

When D'wana and Baby D showed up and she's

138

00:07:41,041 --> 00:07:44,041

chasing, she's chasing, she's chasing

Day-Day around the car and he's trying to

139

00:07:44,041 --> 00:07:45,500

give her a cookie.

140

00:07:47,916 --> 00:07:52,541

And then she's like, you know, she says

that she wants to talk to Craig and

141

00:07:52,541 --> 00:07:54,458

Day-Day is like, yeah, okay.

142

00:07:54,458 --> 00:07:56,916

Kind of threw him under the bus.

143

00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:57,916

Yeah.

144

00:07:58,416 --> 00:07:59,958

Didn’t take one for the team there.

145

00:08:00,541 --> 00:08:01,875

Oh man.

146

00:08:02,916 --> 00:08:05,916

Baby D is like, no I can’t, I’m trying to cut down.

147

00:08:06,041 --> 00:08:08,166

And she still takes a bite of the cookie.

148

00:08:08,166 --> 00:08:10,083

Hahaha oh man.

149

00:08:10,125 --> 00:08:11,583

Lady of Rage hilarious.

150

00:08:11,791 --> 00:08:16,041

The character of Roach, briefly, was played by Justin Pierce, who was

151

00:08:16,208 --> 00:08:18,750

the skateboarder that we had mentioned in All the Streets Are Silent.

152

00:08:18,750 --> 00:08:19,291

Mm -hmm.

153

00:08:19,333 --> 00:08:21,333

Who unfortunately died at a young age.

154

00:08:22,333 --> 00:08:23,833

He was only like 25.

155

00:08:24,583 --> 00:08:25,625

Yeah.

156

00:08:25,666 --> 00:08:29,458

So it ties back. He was skateboarding inside of Pinky’s on the counter and then

157

00:08:31,041 --> 00:08:35,750

Later on, you know, the skateboard gets

broken by the Jokers run it over.

158

00:08:35,750 --> 00:08:37,333

Yeah, so.

159

00:08:38,791 --> 00:08:40,583

Those were some good scenes.

160

00:08:40,583 --> 00:08:41,458

Yeah, yeah.

161

00:08:41,708 --> 00:08:43,750

I was like, who's in?

162

00:08:44,166 --> 00:08:45,083

He's in this?

163

00:08:45,083 --> 00:08:46,250

She's in this?

164

00:08:46,250 --> 00:08:48,125

I kept doing that all through the movie.

165

00:08:48,125 --> 00:08:49,458

Like, wow.

166

00:08:49,916 --> 00:08:54,833

So it's just to show how influential Ice

Cube was even, in 2000, right?

167

00:08:54,833 --> 00:08:56,666

In 1999, 2000.

168

00:08:56,666 --> 00:08:57,541

Yeah.

169

00:08:59,083 --> 00:09:00,958

Speaking of the cast, it's a good segue.

170

00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:04,833

Our takeaway number two is late John

Witherspoon shows off his signature

171

00:09:04,833 --> 00:09:06,166

ridiculous humor.

172

00:09:06,166 --> 00:09:09,125

He had me in stitches in this one as well.

173

00:09:09,125 --> 00:09:11,875

Boogie, you wanna take us through some of

his highlights?

174

00:09:12,416 --> 00:09:14,083

Yeah boy!

175

00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:22,708

So yeah, John, he starts off immediately

in the beginning of the movie as he's

176

00:09:22,708 --> 00:09:23,916

waiting for Craig.

177

00:09:23,916 --> 00:09:28,625

He slips and falls in the fresh freshly

made dog poop.

178

00:09:29,541 --> 00:09:34,250

But he gets in the truck and he's just

like trying to figure out what's going on.

179

00:09:34,250 --> 00:09:37,500

And it's funny because in the back in the

background here, you know, bad luck

180

00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:38,458

playing.

181

00:09:38,541 --> 00:09:41,541

by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. I’m like wow what a perfect song.

182

00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:44,250

Good drop. Good needle drop.

183

00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:53,583

he drops Craig off and he's like, you

know, trying to give Craig some words of

184

00:09:53,583 --> 00:09:54,541

wisdom.

185

00:09:54,541 --> 00:09:56,208

And Craig's like, man, I'm grown, man.

186

00:09:56,208 --> 00:09:57,041

I don't need to hear anything.

187

00:09:57,041 --> 00:09:59,375

He said, all right, don’t bring your butt back

home.

188

00:09:59,375 --> 00:10:00,958

Hahaha!

189

00:10:01,750 --> 00:10:05,166

I'd say a classic Pops line right

there.

190

00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:16,291

Then he goes to the burrito place and he

gets some hot sauce.

191

00:10:16,958 --> 00:10:18,625

He has to go.

192

00:10:19,916 --> 00:10:23,958

He's stuck in traffic on the way back to

Rancho Cucamonga.

193

00:10:23,958 --> 00:10:25,958

But then he ends up running in the

bathroom.

194

00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:28,666

He comes out and he's in the middle of the

restaurant.

195

00:10:28,666 --> 00:10:31,791

He opens the door and the smell was

like...

196

00:10:31,791 --> 00:10:36,125

just comes out and everybody's face is

nauseated immediately.

197

00:10:36,208 --> 00:10:37,375

It's like what?

198

00:10:37,583 --> 00:10:39,291

His line after that is really good though. He says,

199

00:10:39,375 --> 00:10:40,583

You’re all jealous.

200

00:10:40,875 --> 00:10:43,375

That actually made me laugh.

201

00:10:43,375 --> 00:10:44,750

That was funny.

202

00:10:44,750 --> 00:10:46,333

Classic Pops, man.

203

00:10:46,333 --> 00:10:48,541

Don't go in there for 30, 35 minutes.

204

00:10:49,250 --> 00:10:54,208

Yeah, someone had dropped a bomb on that

one before he got in there too.

205

00:10:54,208 --> 00:10:59,166

And then, yeah, you could smell it through

the TV.

206

00:10:59,166 --> 00:11:00,208

It was that bad.

207

00:11:00,208 --> 00:11:01,833

He was carrying his air freshener.

208

00:11:01,833 --> 00:11:04,000

He's carrying his air freshener with him.

209

00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:04,708

Yeah.

210

00:11:05,458 --> 00:11:06,333

that was...

211

00:11:06,666 --> 00:11:10,500

I’ll let you guys chime in a little bit too but

212

00:11:10,541 --> 00:11:13,541

he was just hilarious, any scene he’s in he just makes you laugh.

213

00:11:13,833 --> 00:11:16,833

He’s got a way, his mannerisms, the way he talks,

214

00:11:17,583 --> 00:11:22,125

He’s, he’s singing about that, in the car while he’s trying to hold in his...

215

00:11:22,416 --> 00:11:26,333

He’s like I shouldn’t have had that hot sauce. He starts singing about it.

216

00:11:26,666 --> 00:11:28,458

And at the one point he’s spraying the

217

00:11:28,458 --> 00:11:30,958

air freshener in Craig’s face.

218

00:11:32,166 --> 00:11:33,458

And then the one thing

219

00:11:33,458 --> 00:11:36,458

I’m gonna get naked with your mama, I’m like

220

00:11:36,666 --> 00:11:37,666

Walk around naked.

221

00:11:37,833 --> 00:11:41,375

And he’s talking about the Bald Johnson dance, I was dying.

222

00:11:41,375 --> 00:11:42,166

Aw man.

223

00:11:42,166 --> 00:11:42,666

ha!

224

00:11:42,833 --> 00:11:46,791

Yeah, man, that was wild.

225

00:11:46,791 --> 00:11:48,000

Yeah.

226

00:11:49,291 --> 00:11:50,208

Mm -mm -mm.

227

00:11:50,208 --> 00:11:51,041

John Witherspoon

228

00:11:52,250 --> 00:11:57,583

I really enjoyed him riffing with DC Curry

in this movie who plays his brother.

229

00:11:57,791 --> 00:11:58,791

I would have liked more of that.

230

00:11:58,791 --> 00:12:00,708

That was really good stuff.

231

00:12:02,958 --> 00:12:03,958

Uncle Elroy.

232

00:12:03,958 --> 00:12:05,375

Hahaha

233

00:12:07,791 --> 00:12:08,958

Oh man.

234

00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,000

Good stuff.

235

00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:11,750

Good stuff.

236

00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:13,583

John Witherspoon, he's a scene stealer.

237

00:12:13,583 --> 00:12:16,666

We always, we mentioned that on a few of

our episodes.

238

00:12:17,291 --> 00:12:20,291

One of the great scene stealers in all of cinema.

239

00:12:22,833 --> 00:12:24,750

Remember the first one, the public enema

240

00:12:24,958 --> 00:12:26,666

Public enema

241

00:12:27,083 --> 00:12:29,500

Hahaha

242

00:12:29,708 --> 00:12:32,708

I love how he took the whole bottle of hot sauce.

243

00:12:33,166 --> 00:12:35,250

He took the whole bottle.

244

00:12:35,250 --> 00:12:37,250

Hehehe

245

00:12:37,375 --> 00:12:39,750

pops, what a pop move.

246

00:12:40,208 --> 00:12:48,041

Pops, Pops, rest in peace John Witherspoon

More cast members that provided some comic

247

00:12:48,041 --> 00:12:48,833

relief.

248

00:12:48,833 --> 00:12:50,458

Jacob Vargas as Big Joker.

249

00:12:50,458 --> 00:12:53,083

I thought he was a riot.

250

00:12:53,625 --> 00:12:57,375

Ese, you know, the Latin guys.

251

00:12:58,833 --> 00:13:03,041

Boogie, you want to speak to like, what

made you laugh about either Big Joker or

252

00:13:03,041 --> 00:13:08,125

maybe his brothers or their interactions

with these guys?

253

00:13:08,125 --> 00:13:15,541

of those guys were hilarious because they

were just like the exaggerated accent,

254

00:13:15,791 --> 00:13:18,041

like the constant tough guy ese.

255

00:13:18,083 --> 00:13:23,625

Even like, I get em mixed even, Little

Joker was the one that kept having his

256

00:13:23,625 --> 00:13:25,000

head, his skully pulled down.

257

00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:31,083

He's like four foot nothing, like tiny

guy, but he's got like Napoleon complex.

258

00:13:31,416 --> 00:13:36,000

He's like so tough and he's like all about

beating.

259

00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,083

beating up Craig or, you know, know,

Day-Day even when they're sticking their

260

00:13:41,083 --> 00:13:50,750

dog Chico, on Craig when he was trying to

talk to their sister, Karla chasing them

261

00:13:50,750 --> 00:13:56,458

around and like those guys, man, I could

watch a movie with just those three guys

262

00:13:56,458 --> 00:13:59,708

and just have them have antics with them.

263

00:13:59,708 --> 00:14:01,458

They were hilarious.

264

00:14:04,083 --> 00:14:06,750

Yeah, I like there was one line I think it

was Big Joker.

265

00:14:06,750 --> 00:14:09,916

It was like, get out of here Day-Day and

you too Slim Shady.

266

00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,458

He called Roach Slim Shady because he's a

white guy.

267

00:14:14,875 --> 00:14:18,208

And there was it was the one other line he

said this ain't the love connection, you

268

00:14:18,208 --> 00:14:25,000

know, these little little little barbs

were cracking me up because I was I was

269

00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,375

not expecting those.

270

00:14:26,375 --> 00:14:27,125

Yeah.

271

00:14:28,416 --> 00:14:34,208

Yeah, I enjoyed their caricature

representations of actual Latin gang

272

00:14:34,208 --> 00:14:35,250

members.

273

00:14:35,541 --> 00:14:38,833

Yeah, they were caricatures, that's

exactly right.

274

00:14:38,833 --> 00:14:41,458

That's a good way to put it, for sure.

275

00:14:41,458 --> 00:14:43,000

Yep, yep.

276

00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000

Yep.

277

00:14:44,125 --> 00:14:50,750

And they had that, what was was hydraulic

cylinder with all the money in it.

278

00:14:50,750 --> 00:14:51,833

Yeah.

279

00:14:53,083 --> 00:14:55,000

Yeah, that was crazy.

280

00:14:59,250 --> 00:15:01,416

Takeaway number four is Debo's role in

this one.

281

00:15:01,416 --> 00:15:05,666

It's minimal, but it does drive the plot

line at least.

282

00:15:08,458 --> 00:15:14,666

Debo, as everybody knows from the series,

is the Tiny Lister, and he's the bully.

283

00:15:14,666 --> 00:15:20,375

And it drives the storyline is that he's

now, this is four years after Friday, the

284

00:15:20,375 --> 00:15:22,125

initial one, right?

285

00:15:22,125 --> 00:15:22,375

years?

286

00:15:22,375 --> 00:15:26,375

I think I have to watch the beginning

again, but it seemed like it was either

287

00:15:26,375 --> 00:15:30,625

like the next week or it was two years ago

or it was four years ago.

288

00:15:30,625 --> 00:15:31,791

Was it the following week?

289

00:15:31,791 --> 00:15:33,416

I thought so.

290

00:15:33,416 --> 00:15:38,083

He got sentenced for four, he was supposed

to get four years, but he broke out the

291

00:15:38,083 --> 00:15:38,625

following week.

292

00:15:38,625 --> 00:15:41,458

Like the word on the street was that he

was going to break out the following week

293

00:15:41,458 --> 00:15:46,541

and it was all going out throughout the

neighborhood and Pops got wind of it.

294

00:15:46,541 --> 00:15:48,500

He said, all right, Craig, you got to get

out of here.

295

00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:50,458

Okay, yeah, okay, yeah.

296

00:15:50,458 --> 00:15:51,791

I got you.

297

00:15:51,791 --> 00:15:53,458

So it is the final next week.

298

00:15:53,458 --> 00:15:54,083

Okay.

299

00:15:54,083 --> 00:15:56,125

All right, that makes sense then.

300

00:15:56,125 --> 00:16:01,791

So he broke out early, breaking out in the

orange jumpsuits and they steal Tyrone.

301

00:16:01,791 --> 00:16:04,208

They steal a bike from the kid perfectly.

302

00:16:04,333 --> 00:16:08,250

That was appropriate on brand.

303

00:16:09,916 --> 00:16:14,125

And then they're riding the tandem bike

together at one point, which was classic.

304

00:16:16,708 --> 00:16:19,375

Yeah, they had Tyrone run on handlebars.

305

00:16:19,375 --> 00:16:22,500

Played by Sticky Fingaz, yes.

306

00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:24,583

Who we’ve seen in In Too Deep.

307

00:16:24,583 --> 00:16:29,208

And I was looking at his IMDb, he's done a

ton of movies, I didn't realize this.

308

00:16:29,916 --> 00:16:31,750

A lot of movies.

309

00:16:31,750 --> 00:16:32,541

So good for him.

310

00:16:32,541 --> 00:16:34,333

play Blade for a little while?

311

00:16:35,875 --> 00:16:38,666

I think he Blade on a TV show for a little

little

312

00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:43,333

He was like Scrappy Doo in this movie.

313

00:16:43,333 --> 00:16:48,375

Someone reviewed this and said that Tyrone

was Scrappy Doo.

314

00:16:48,375 --> 00:16:50,166

Yeah, yeah.

315

00:16:50,208 --> 00:16:52,000

Puppy Power!

316

00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,708

Scrappy Doo dude, yeah, that makes sense.

317

00:16:55,916 --> 00:16:57,375

Rappy Roo!

318

00:16:58,625 --> 00:17:02,833

But most of the movie, the issue we’re talking about, most of the movie, Debo and Tyrone

319

00:17:02,833 --> 00:17:07,208

they’re stuck in Willie’s – Craig’s dad – animal control car, like the entire time.

320

00:17:07,625 --> 00:17:11,958

So you don’t get to see that much interaction, except them being uncomfortable and

321

00:17:12,083 --> 00:17:15,041

slapping each other around or yelling at each other until the end

322

00:17:18,333 --> 00:17:22,500

Yeah, it’s like the one time they ran

323

00:17:22,666 --> 00:17:29,041

over to catch Craig before he left and

Willie put the foot to the gas and pulled

324

00:17:29,041 --> 00:17:31,750

off with Tyrone on the hood.

325

00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:35,041

He ends up falling off and Willie just

keeps on going.

326

00:17:36,166 --> 00:17:41,250

And then when Debo does, when he finally

gets out of the car and he confronts them,

327

00:17:41,250 --> 00:17:45,625

he gets knocked out by the family.

328

00:17:45,625 --> 00:17:50,208

I think it was Elroy and Willie that I

think they both got a shot in on him.

329

00:17:50,208 --> 00:17:51,000

Yeah.

330

00:17:53,916 --> 00:17:56,041

So it was not much Debo.

331

00:17:57,500 --> 00:17:58,833

Going on there.

332

00:18:01,416 --> 00:18:04,041

The whole movie like, all right, when is

Debo going to arrive and when is our hell

333

00:18:04,041 --> 00:18:05,583

going to break loose?

334

00:18:05,875 --> 00:18:07,666

Yeah, right.

335

00:18:08,125 --> 00:18:09,583

Exactly.

336

00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,875

Yeah, then the final takeaway is the

soundtrack.

337

00:18:13,875 --> 00:18:17,375

There's some prominent hip hop artists, a

lot of good hip hop artists on it, but

338

00:18:17,375 --> 00:18:22,833

it's punctuated by the very memorable You

Can Do It that you mentioned in the

339

00:18:22,833 --> 00:18:24,666

opening boogie.

340

00:18:24,875 --> 00:18:30,666

When that comes on during the end credits,

you know, you got to be bopping your head.

341

00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,000

Yeah.

342

00:18:33,416 --> 00:18:38,583

So as soon as I hear that intro, dun, dun,

dun, I'm like, there it is.

343

00:18:39,041 --> 00:18:39,750

Great beat.

344

00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:42,833

That's a banger.

345

00:18:43,916 --> 00:18:48,791

The soundtrack features Aaliyah, N.W.A.,

346

00:18:50,541 --> 00:18:54,291

Eminem, Wyclef Jean, Ja Rule, Wu-Tang Clan,

347

00:18:55,375 --> 00:18:58,375

You don’t hear the songs all that loud and prominently, but

348

00:18:59,416 --> 00:19:03,000

if you did have the soundtrack back in the day. I don’t know if you guys had it but

349

00:19:03,875 --> 00:19:06,875

some great artist on that.

350

00:19:09,083 --> 00:19:09,750

Yeah.

351

00:19:09,750 --> 00:19:10,958

other songs stick out to you boogie?

352

00:19:10,958 --> 00:19:15,083

You're more of the the more of the deep

cut guy.

353

00:19:15,083 --> 00:19:16,708

I didn’t own this soundtrack.

354

00:19:16,916 --> 00:19:18,208

And I don’t

355

00:19:18,458 --> 00:19:21,500

necessarily remember too much about it.

356

00:19:21,958 --> 00:19:24,791

Nah, I really don't remember too much

about the soundtrack.

357

00:19:25,041 --> 00:19:29,208

And I was looking at it for the, you know,

when we were doing our notes and

358

00:19:29,208 --> 00:19:30,166

everything.

359

00:19:30,166 --> 00:19:33,416

And I was surprised by how many different

artists were on here that I didn't even

360

00:19:33,416 --> 00:19:36,791

realize were on the soundtrack.

361

00:19:36,958 --> 00:19:42,041

But like, yeah, it's loaded with some

heavyweights, you know.

362

00:19:43,583 --> 00:19:46,708

You know, he even got a couple of the Bone

Thugs and Harmony Brothers on.

363

00:19:46,708 --> 00:19:53,083

He got, he got Bizzy Bone on one, Krayzie

Bone on one song, Bizzy Bone on another

364

00:19:53,083 --> 00:20:01,958

song, Wu -Tang Clan, Big Tymers Lil Wayne,

Kurupt Ja Rule like wow.

365

00:20:01,958 --> 00:20:02,958

Yeah.

366

00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,333

It's quite a list of artists.

367

00:20:06,375 --> 00:20:06,833

Yeah.

368

00:20:06,833 --> 00:20:07,875

Yeah.

369

00:20:09,458 --> 00:20:11,750

the most memorable, you can do it.

370

00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:13,458

It was awesome.

371

00:20:13,541 --> 00:20:14,875

That's what I'm I'm just a party going.

372

00:20:14,875 --> 00:20:16,291

That’s the best thing that came out of this movie.

373

00:20:16,416 --> 00:20:18,750

Hahaha

374

00:20:18,750 --> 00:20:20,916

Oh, jeez.

375

00:20:20,958 --> 00:20:23,833

The song was so good it made to Save the Last Dance.

376

00:20:23,833 --> 00:20:26,333

Hahaha

377

00:20:26,333 --> 00:20:27,625

Hahaha.

378

00:20:28,125 --> 00:20:29,166

Ha!

379

00:20:34,291 --> 00:20:36,041

Oh man.

380

00:20:38,458 --> 00:20:42,125

Other tidbits, if you have any, I did get

a kick out of Ms.

381

00:20:42,125 --> 00:20:43,375

Ho-Kym Kim as well.

382

00:20:43,375 --> 00:20:46,083

She was talking kind of gangster.

383

00:20:46,083 --> 00:20:47,041

Yeah, she was pretty funny.

384

00:20:47,041 --> 00:20:49,166

I've seen her in a lot of other things.

385

00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,625

My kids used to like this show called Just

Add Magic.

386

00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:58,500

I forget which streaming service it was

on, but she was the motherly figure in

387

00:20:58,500 --> 00:20:59,041

that one.

388

00:21:00,666 --> 00:21:02,541

Yeah, you see her in a lot of things.

389

00:21:02,541 --> 00:21:04,458

If you look at her filmography,

390

00:21:05,208 --> 00:21:05,875

What is her name?

391

00:21:05,875 --> 00:21:12,375

Let me, I gotta get her her name to do it

justice, but she was, she was funny.

392

00:21:13,916 --> 00:21:15,375

get that.

393

00:21:15,375 --> 00:21:17,541

Amy Hill, Amy Hill, Amy Hill.

394

00:21:17,541 --> 00:21:18,250

Yeah.

395

00:21:19,333 --> 00:21:20,291

Yeah.

396

00:21:21,333 --> 00:21:22,166

You know, it's odd.

397

00:21:22,166 --> 00:21:25,250

I look through the cast, they list Reese

Witherspoon.

398

00:21:25,250 --> 00:21:26,041

Was she really in this?

399

00:21:26,041 --> 00:21:28,500

Did you guys catch her in the background

or something?

400

00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:29,833

I did not see her.

401

00:21:29,833 --> 00:21:30,375

find it too.

402

00:21:30,375 --> 00:21:31,291

I'm like...

403

00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,333

Where did you see that?

404

00:21:34,166 --> 00:21:45,250

I just got it from the, the cast listing

when I, when I Google it for next Friday.

405

00:21:46,333 --> 00:21:47,041

Yeah.

406

00:21:47,666 --> 00:21:50,375

Unless it was mistaken.

407

00:21:50,375 --> 00:21:50,833

Yeah.

408

00:21:50,833 --> 00:21:53,000

in, in Day-Day's room?

409

00:21:53,041 --> 00:21:55,541

Hahaha

410

00:21:55,541 --> 00:21:58,541

I didn’t pick up on any that.

411

00:22:00,458 --> 00:22:03,458

I didn’t pick up on that, so maybe have been an error.

412

00:22:08,250 --> 00:22:11,250

Reese Witherspoon is related to John Witherspoon.

413

00:22:12,541 --> 00:22:15,541

Hahaha

414

00:22:15,833 --> 00:22:17,166

That’s hilarious.

415

00:22:17,250 --> 00:22:18,291

I’m gonna have to look it up.

416

00:22:18,291 --> 00:22:21,291

If you Google “Reese Witherspoon Next Friday scene” there’s something out there on TikTok.

417

00:22:23,125 --> 00:22:25,625

Is that, maybe it’s a deleted scene or something. I don’t know.

418

00:22:26,291 --> 00:22:29,291

Maybe it was a deleted scene.

419

00:22:29,416 --> 00:22:30,625

Maybe there was a different version of it.

420

00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:32,750

I did not notice her.

421

00:22:32,916 --> 00:22:35,000

She popped up on the cast and that surprised me.

422

00:22:39,375 --> 00:22:42,083

It's a good ensemble cast.

423

00:22:43,416 --> 00:22:48,583

Like you said, Don Curry, Tiny Lister,

Justin Pierce briefly, John Witherspoon,

424

00:22:48,583 --> 00:22:52,333

Mike Epps, Ice Cube, Clifton Powell.

425

00:22:54,750 --> 00:22:58,541

Yeah, Michael Blackson, Sticky Fingaz,

yeah, Jacob Vargas.

426

00:22:59,791 --> 00:23:01,291

Very, very cool.

427

00:23:01,708 --> 00:23:09,333

Yeah, and I like the DC Curry and John

Witherspoon interactions.

428

00:23:09,791 --> 00:23:13,458

They actually do come back in the next

movie.

429

00:23:13,583 --> 00:23:15,333

Oh good.

430

00:23:15,333 --> 00:23:17,625

So that's Friday after next, right?

431

00:23:17,625 --> 00:23:18,458

Yeah, Friday after next.

432

00:23:18,458 --> 00:23:19,375

Is that the next one?

433

00:23:19,375 --> 00:23:19,708

Yeah.

434

00:23:19,708 --> 00:23:20,916

How many were there three?

435

00:23:20,916 --> 00:23:21,708

Were there three?

436

00:23:21,708 --> 00:23:23,208

Was that the last one?

437

00:23:24,250 --> 00:23:27,208

Friday, next Friday, Friday after next.

438

00:23:27,416 --> 00:23:28,583

Three..

439

00:23:28,583 --> 00:23:29,250

yeah.

440

00:23:29,250 --> 00:23:32,333

I thought they were talking about a fourth

one at some point.

441

00:23:32,333 --> 00:23:35,416

one, but it never came to production.

442

00:23:35,875 --> 00:23:36,208

Yeah.

443

00:23:36,208 --> 00:23:41,625

And also Clifton Power returns in small

part in the next one as well.

444

00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,333

Oh good.

445

00:23:43,708 --> 00:23:45,375

okay, yeah, yeah.

446

00:23:45,375 --> 00:23:46,666

yeah, yeah.

447

00:23:46,666 --> 00:23:46,958

Yeah.

448

00:23:46,958 --> 00:23:50,625

And yeah, it's good.

449

00:23:51,041 --> 00:23:52,958

Kym Whitley is hilarious too.

450

00:23:53,375 --> 00:23:55,000

Like, yeah,

451

00:23:55,291 --> 00:23:58,041

Haha she was a gem though.

452

00:23:58,208 --> 00:24:01,666

So when Uncle Elroy hit the lottery,

453

00:24:02,708 --> 00:24:06,541

his original wife passed away from shock from them winning.

454

00:24:06,958 --> 00:24:09,583

And now he’s dating Suga

455

00:24:09,583 --> 00:24:13,208

played by Kym Whitley and she's a handful.

456

00:24:13,291 --> 00:24:14,875

Um hmm!

457

00:24:14,875 --> 00:24:16,291

To say the least.

458

00:24:16,333 --> 00:24:17,750

To say the least!

459

00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:21,083

She was trying to get a handful of some Craig.

460

00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:22,833

Say the least.

461

00:24:23,208 --> 00:24:25,875

She got two good handfuls.

462

00:24:25,875 --> 00:24:26,958

yeah.

463

00:24:27,041 --> 00:24:28,125

That was wild.

464

00:24:28,125 --> 00:24:29,708

Yeah, she was wild.

465

00:24:29,750 --> 00:24:30,625

man.

466

00:24:32,250 --> 00:24:33,500

Aw man.

467

00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:34,916

Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned her.

468

00:24:34,916 --> 00:24:36,166

She was funny.

469

00:24:36,541 --> 00:24:37,500

Yeah.

470

00:24:39,083 --> 00:24:47,125

with Tamala Jones playing crazy, D'Wana

wanna Day-Day's ex girlfriend, Day-Day's

471

00:24:47,125 --> 00:24:48,750

pregnant ex girlfriend.

472

00:24:49,166 --> 00:24:50,250

Yeah?

473

00:24:51,458 --> 00:24:53,583

He's like, this is not my baby.

474

00:24:54,958 --> 00:24:56,166

Yeah.

475

00:24:57,583 --> 00:25:00,458

He was trying to say she was already three

months pregnant when he met her or

476

00:25:00,458 --> 00:25:02,708

something like trying to do the math or

something like that.

477

00:25:02,708 --> 00:25:05,041

trying to do the math, yeah, and it didn't

add up.

478

00:25:05,041 --> 00:25:05,875

didn't add up!

479

00:25:05,875 --> 00:25:06,416

that?

480

00:25:08,541 --> 00:25:10,666

Yeah, so...

481

00:25:12,083 --> 00:25:15,625

Let's go around the room and give our

ratings for Next Friday.

482

00:25:15,750 --> 00:25:18,750

So BooGie, I’ll start with you as usual, for Next Friday.

483

00:25:20,041 --> 00:25:23,041

Bring that funky flick back or leave it in

the vault.

484

00:25:24,250 --> 00:25:26,041

Bring that funky flick back.

485

00:25:26,041 --> 00:25:30,583

I haven't watched this in a while and I

forgot how funny it was and now I look

486

00:25:30,583 --> 00:25:33,708

forward to watching the next one again now

and I gotta go watch it.

487

00:25:33,708 --> 00:25:35,208

Hahaha

488

00:25:36,208 --> 00:25:40,541

DynoWright, Next Friday,

bring that funky flick back or leave it in

489

00:25:40,541 --> 00:25:41,333

the vault.

490

00:25:41,541 --> 00:25:45,666

In a rare difference of opinion.

491

00:25:45,666 --> 00:25:47,541

I'm going to leave this in the vault.

492

00:25:47,541 --> 00:25:53,958

I think it's unfair to compare it to

Friday, but here I am seeing that it just

493

00:25:53,958 --> 00:25:58,250

didn't move me as much as I mean, Friday,

Friday, I think, is a legitimate classic

494

00:25:58,250 --> 00:26:02,250

and we can all quote lines from Friday.

495

00:26:02,458 --> 00:26:06,791

And Chris Tucker was just so electric in

that movie that it's unfair to Mike Epps

496

00:26:06,791 --> 00:26:08,208

because he was really funny in this, too.

497

00:26:08,208 --> 00:26:10,083

But I just.

498

00:26:10,125 --> 00:26:13,166

you start to recycle some of the things

from the first movie and some of it's

499

00:26:13,166 --> 00:26:16,916

funny and some of it's just like, just

reheated this in the microwave.

500

00:26:18,375 --> 00:26:21,375

It had some elements, I

did enjoy some of it, but I'm leaving this

501

00:26:21,375 --> 00:26:22,250

in the vault.

502

00:26:23,083 --> 00:26:23,958

All right.

503

00:26:23,958 --> 00:26:27,083

As for me, I will bring this funky flick

back.

504

00:26:27,083 --> 00:26:30,916

I enjoyed it as much as the original,

although it did not have the iconic lines

505

00:26:30,916 --> 00:26:37,041

that we recite like Bye Felicia and Damn It

still made me laugh a lot.

506

00:26:37,041 --> 00:26:39,708

And I would like to rewatch this.

507

00:26:39,708 --> 00:26:43,500

I'm a comedy fan and it did tickle my

funny bone quite a bit.

508

00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:47,458

So for myself, I will say bring this funky

flick.

509

00:26:49,875 --> 00:26:50,958

Okay.

510

00:26:54,166 --> 00:26:59,125

Hip Hop Movie Club is produced by your

HHMC's JB, Boogie and DynoWright.

511

00:26:59,125 --> 00:27:01,041

Theme music by Boogie.

512

00:27:01,250 --> 00:27:04,500

Whether you're listening to the podcast or

watching us on YouTube, please give us a

513

00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:05,041

follow.

514

00:27:05,041 --> 00:27:06,666

It's a real power up for us.

515

00:27:06,666 --> 00:27:08,250

Thanks for tuning in.

516

00:27:09,666 --> 00:27:13,250

Remember, don't hate, contemplate.

517

00:27:13,750 --> 00:27:14,750

Woo woo.

518

00:27:16,125 --> 00:27:16,458

Look inward.

519

00:27:16,458 --> 00:27:18,375

As Special Ed said, think about it.

520

00:27:18,375 --> 00:27:20,541

There you go!

521

00:27:20,541 --> 00:27:22,250

I love that song too.

522

00:27:22,250 --> 00:27:23,291

Oh I love it. Oh man.

523

00:27:23,291 --> 00:27:24,625

One of my favorite lines

524

00:27:24,625 --> 00:27:27,333

Would you join the navy if you didn’t like the gravy and rice?

525

00:27:27,333 --> 00:27:28,458

ha ha ha ha!

526

00:27:28,458 --> 00:27:31,541

Think a-bout it.

527

00:27:31,541 --> 00:27:33,458

That's good.

528

00:27:33,541 --> 00:27:35,166

That’s good.

529

00:27:35,166 --> 00:27:38,166

Special Ed to me is one of the most underrated

530

00:27:38,958 --> 00:27:41,000

rappers of all time.

531

00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,041

Give me simple, simple beat

532

00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:44,333

Yeah.

533

00:27:44,333 --> 00:27:45,583

and clean

534

00:27:45,708 --> 00:27:47,583

delivery.

535

00:27:47,583 --> 00:27:48,875

And I’m sold.

536

00:27:48,875 --> 00:27:49,791

Mm -hmm.

537

00:27:49,791 --> 00:27:54,375

when that cassette came, when that album

came out, I played that cassette over and

538

00:27:54,375 --> 00:27:57,541

over and over and over.

539

00:27:58,833 --> 00:27:59,791

Yeah.

540

00:27:59,791 --> 00:28:00,583

Yeah.

541

00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,375

I'm gonna have to listen to that again

now.

542

00:28:02,375 --> 00:28:05,375

Hahaha

543

00:28:05,791 --> 00:28:06,333

Yeah.

544

00:28:06,333 --> 00:28:10,041

Between Think about it, I Got It Made and

I'm the Magnificent, like I would put

545

00:28:10,041 --> 00:28:10,875

those on rotation.

546

00:28:10,875 --> 00:28:12,250

I’m the Magnificent, aww

547

00:28:12,250 --> 00:28:16,083

I know almost, yeah, those three.
