Speaker:

hip hop themed movies of all time.

4

00:00:17,166 --> 00:00:21,208

And here's HHMC with your HH MCs Boogie.

00:00:22,333 --> 00:00:25,333

Come on. Season five, episode three.

8

00:00:30,166 --> 00:00:32,166

Eight mile.

9

00:00:32,166 --> 00:00:34,750

That adds up.

10

00:00:34,750 --> 00:00:37,750

It's nice.

11

00:00:38,916 --> 00:00:41,625

Written by Scott Silver

and directed by Curtis Hanson

12

00:00:41,625 --> 00:00:44,916

and produced by Curtis Hanson,

Brian Grazer and Jimmy Iovine.

13

00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:49,125

Released in 2002 and featuring

Eminem, Mekhi Phifer,

14

00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:52,291

Brittany Murphy,

Kim Basinger and Anthony Mackie.

15

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,208

We'll answer the question will B-Rabbit

take his one shot, his one opportunity

16

00:00:57,583 --> 00:01:00,583

to seize everything

you ever wanted to one moment.

17

00:01:02,708 --> 00:01:05,416

Set in the gritty urban

backdrop of Detroit.

18

00:01:05,416 --> 00:01:08,375

Eight mile

is a semi-autobiographical tale of rap

19

00:01:08,375 --> 00:01:12,583

icon Eminem,

whose characters Jimmy B Rabbit Smith,

20

00:01:13,208 --> 00:01:16,416

his early struggles

breaking into the hip hop scene in 1995

21

00:01:17,708 --> 00:01:18,375

against

22

00:01:18,375 --> 00:01:21,500

great odds, the cocky young white dude

living in the trailer

23

00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:24,500

park with his downtrodden

mom and toddler sister.

24

00:01:24,791 --> 00:01:28,208

The rabbit struggles

in finding his way in his voice and faces

25

00:01:28,208 --> 00:01:31,291

formidable foes

and the leaders of the Free World crew.

26

00:01:33,083 --> 00:01:34,416

Right.

27

00:01:34,416 --> 00:01:36,958

One more. One.

28

00:01:36,958 --> 00:01:40,000

One one and,

29

00:01:41,666 --> 00:01:42,666

So eight mile.

30

00:01:42,666 --> 00:01:45,166

This is classic film.

31

00:01:45,166 --> 00:01:48,208

Eminem, as we know,

has gone on to become a legend.

32

00:01:48,791 --> 00:01:52,791

What are some of the key points Boogie,

that you take away from from eight mile?

33

00:01:53,625 --> 00:01:55,916

Yeah I really I really enjoy eight mile.

34

00:01:55,916 --> 00:01:57,041

I'm an Eminem fan.

35

00:01:57,041 --> 00:01:58,833

You know, I like what he,

36

00:01:58,833 --> 00:02:02,666

what he's brought to the table

with his, his lyricism and his energy.

37

00:02:02,958 --> 00:02:06,375

So watching emo, for me, it's it's

38

00:02:06,833 --> 00:02:10,958

autobiographical movie for him,

but it's a very entertaining.

39

00:02:11,625 --> 00:02:16,333

And I do see some of the parallels

between the movie and his actual life

40

00:02:16,750 --> 00:02:20,958

coming up in the underground

and having to make a name for himself

41

00:02:21,291 --> 00:02:25,333

despite being a white rapper

in a predominantly black area

42

00:02:25,583 --> 00:02:28,916

and trying to gain the respect of everyone

and prove that, hey, listen,

43

00:02:28,916 --> 00:02:32,791

I got what it takes to to go toe to toe

with the heavyweights in the area.

44

00:02:33,208 --> 00:02:34,583

So it's an underdog story.

45

00:02:34,583 --> 00:02:38,791

You know, it says,

and I and I love underdog stories and

46

00:02:39,666 --> 00:02:42,958

he's a character like you kind of you root

from good form from the beginning

47

00:02:42,958 --> 00:02:46,000

because you see what he has to deal with

in the beginning because he's

48

00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,583

automatically nervous and he's he's

doesn't want to go out and perform.

49

00:02:50,833 --> 00:02:53,916

So you want to see where this character

is going to go.

50

00:02:53,916 --> 00:02:58,333

And you eventually do want to see him

make it to the to the stage in battle,

51

00:02:58,333 --> 00:03:01,416

which is where he was trying to do

in the beginning of the film.

52

00:03:02,166 --> 00:03:03,833

Do you have crews, that hero people?

53

00:03:03,833 --> 00:03:07,958

You know, there's the three world crew,

and they're pretty much like,

54

00:03:07,958 --> 00:03:11,291

you know, bullies to anyone who

who wants to to make

55

00:03:11,291 --> 00:03:14,291

a make a name

for themselves in the Detroit scene.

56

00:03:14,333 --> 00:03:18,666

So you don't like them and you know that

they're picking on him from the beginning.

57

00:03:18,666 --> 00:03:22,583

So it's a it's like I said,

you want to root for him.

58

00:03:22,750 --> 00:03:24,541

You want you want to see him succeed.

59

00:03:24,541 --> 00:03:27,916

You want to see him overcome

when he's dealing with you, you know, he's

60

00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:31,875

or, you know, single mom

reasonable for that.

61

00:03:31,875 --> 00:03:34,583

I mean, she's not all there.

62

00:03:34,583 --> 00:03:35,416

You know, she's dealing with it.

63

00:03:35,416 --> 00:03:38,208

Did you know Debbie? Boyfriend

who's not all there.

64

00:03:38,208 --> 00:03:42,041

And you want him to

to get the best out of things.

65

00:03:42,041 --> 00:03:46,208

So you follow him along the journey and,

you know,

66

00:03:46,208 --> 00:03:47,625

it all comes to a head at the end, and,

67

00:03:47,625 --> 00:03:51,125

you know, you cheer for him,

you're like, yeah, he did it, you know?

68

00:03:51,458 --> 00:03:55,208

So so it's it's one of those movies

where I always enjoy watching

69

00:03:55,208 --> 00:03:58,541

that, that, that overcome

overcoming those obstacles,

70

00:03:59,250 --> 00:04:04,500

and making it on that stage because

like I said, that's how he became famous.

71

00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:06,500

He became famous from battle rapping.

72

00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:10,291

And that's where we really how he made

a name for himself before getting inside.

73

00:04:10,291 --> 00:04:12,666

So yeah, it's it's a great movie.

74

00:04:12,666 --> 00:04:16,250

I highly, highly entertaining

and I highly recommend it.

75

00:04:18,166 --> 00:04:18,916

Dan alright, you want to

76

00:04:18,916 --> 00:04:22,541

add anything about your, you know,

initial impressions of the movie as well?

77

00:04:22,875 --> 00:04:23,625

Sure.

78

00:04:23,625 --> 00:04:26,625

I thought Eminem was really good

as an actor. Yes.

79

00:04:27,375 --> 00:04:29,666

You know, some people can't pull this off,

but you know,

80

00:04:29,666 --> 00:04:33,083

he's an elite performer

and so he can do this well, too.

81

00:04:33,083 --> 00:04:35,208

And he really plays a hero's journey.

82

00:04:35,208 --> 00:04:39,833

Well, you see him in his humble beginnings

and and adversity

83

00:04:39,833 --> 00:04:43,208

in the beginning,

choking in the at the shelter.

84

00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:48,750

But, you know, you get to see

his progression to recovering from that.

85

00:04:48,750 --> 00:04:50,875

And I think he played it really well.

86

00:04:50,875 --> 00:04:53,875

And, yeah, I really enjoyed this movie.

87

00:04:54,333 --> 00:04:57,458

I don't know, and I mean,

it was discography from front to back.

88

00:04:57,458 --> 00:05:02,291

Like I heard a lot of songs, but I didn't

really get into like, his album so much.

89

00:05:02,291 --> 00:05:07,500

And so I really enjoyed this aspect of his

and stuff, so really great.

90

00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:10,416

And yeah, there's a grittiness to this.

91

00:05:10,416 --> 00:05:13,666

And the portrayal was was very well done.

92

00:05:14,083 --> 00:05:16,916

You see a lot of East Coast story,

you see West Coast

93

00:05:16,916 --> 00:05:20,416

and now we're, you know, in the heartland

or, you know, Midwest, Detroit.

94

00:05:21,458 --> 00:05:21,833

And you

95

00:05:21,833 --> 00:05:25,791

see, you know, a lot of folks, Detroit's

economy is

96

00:05:25,791 --> 00:05:30,375

historically been based, you know, auto

industry and factories and whatnot.

97

00:05:30,375 --> 00:05:34,958

And B rabbit work that the new Detroit

stamping factory.

98

00:05:35,541 --> 00:05:38,416

You remember when Eminem

first burst on the scene in real life,

99

00:05:38,416 --> 00:05:40,750

like in the late 90s

when you first heard him

100

00:05:40,750 --> 00:05:43,333

and he had this unique sound,

almost a little bit nasally

101

00:05:43,333 --> 00:05:46,541

and spitting fast, but also just kind of

102

00:05:47,791 --> 00:05:49,583

insulting everybody in his path.

103

00:05:49,583 --> 00:05:51,708

And you're like, what's up with this guy?

104

00:05:51,708 --> 00:05:53,833

Like,

why is he ripping on Pamela Anderson?

105

00:05:53,833 --> 00:05:57,375

And and saying, like,

why are you so angry?

106

00:05:57,375 --> 00:06:01,166

And this kind of gives you a glimpse

into what he had to deal with, right?

107

00:06:01,208 --> 00:06:07,333

He just comes from very little means,

like you said, his mother's really

108

00:06:08,416 --> 00:06:09,583

downtrodden.

109

00:06:09,583 --> 00:06:11,416

You know,

110

00:06:11,416 --> 00:06:13,833

not a great mother,

111

00:06:13,833 --> 00:06:16,500

and he's getting picked on and bullied,

112

00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:19,666

and he wants to be in this industry,

that he's an outsider.

113

00:06:19,958 --> 00:06:23,166

So you can kind of tell,

where does that anger come from?

114

00:06:23,166 --> 00:06:26,166

You can see it through this lens for sure.

115

00:06:26,541 --> 00:06:27,791

Absolutely.

116

00:06:27,791 --> 00:06:31,083

And I think from years

of being pushed around,

117

00:06:31,958 --> 00:06:34,541

he got to the point where he strikes

first.

118

00:06:34,541 --> 00:06:36,541

He doesn't give you a chance to

to get him.

119

00:06:36,541 --> 00:06:38,416

He's going to get you first.

120

00:06:38,416 --> 00:06:40,333

Right.

121

00:06:40,333 --> 00:06:44,541

I had a I had a different impression

of like at least from this first single.

122

00:06:44,541 --> 00:06:45,458

Right.

123

00:06:45,458 --> 00:06:46,375

My name is.

124

00:06:46,375 --> 00:06:47,000

Yeah.

125

00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,166

And but who is this guy

who sounds like Snoop Dogg?

126

00:06:50,166 --> 00:06:51,666

And when put together, like,

127

00:06:51,666 --> 00:06:54,666

I thought of it throughout that, that's

what's so funny to me.

128

00:06:54,916 --> 00:06:57,375

It's like, yeah,

but this isn't a Snoop Dogg song.

129

00:06:57,375 --> 00:07:01,708

Like a little there's more humor in

it to me and it's like, wow,

130

00:07:02,958 --> 00:07:04,208

this is really good.

131

00:07:04,208 --> 00:07:07,208

Who is this guy?

132

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

He also fun fact

is that he goes by the moniker Slim Shady,

133

00:07:10,333 --> 00:07:13,458

as we all know, but that phrase

is not mentioned at all in the movie,

134

00:07:14,666 --> 00:07:15,250

right?

135

00:07:15,250 --> 00:07:15,708

It's interesting.

136

00:07:15,708 --> 00:07:18,291

Semi-autobiographical, exactly similar.

137

00:07:18,291 --> 00:07:20,083

To me, but I think.

138

00:07:20,083 --> 00:07:23,083

The cast around him in this movie really

139

00:07:24,041 --> 00:07:25,125

did a great job.

140

00:07:25,125 --> 00:07:27,333

Brittany Murphy I've always loved her.

141

00:07:27,333 --> 00:07:29,541

Yeah. She was. Terrific in. This. Yeah.

142

00:07:29,541 --> 00:07:30,833

With Klute from clueless,

143

00:07:30,833 --> 00:07:33,833

her days in clueless when she was the nerd

that they kind of spruced up, and

144

00:07:34,750 --> 00:07:38,666

I was kind of,

like, always sad to see her on stage

145

00:07:38,666 --> 00:07:41,708

be, you know, on the screen

because she died at such a young age.

146

00:07:41,791 --> 00:07:43,333

Oh, it's very bittersweet, you know?

147

00:07:43,333 --> 00:07:44,625

Yeah, it's always very bittersweet.

148

00:07:44,625 --> 00:07:46,083

Just kind of like

when you see Heath ledger

149

00:07:46,083 --> 00:07:49,958

and some of the younger, younger

actors and actresses that have gone in.

150

00:07:50,333 --> 00:07:52,541

But she was very charismatic

and enigmatic.

151

00:07:52,541 --> 00:07:57,125

She's always that perfect combination

of charismatic and enigmatic who was like,

152

00:07:57,375 --> 00:08:00,791

yeah, okay, but yeah, you really like her.

153

00:08:01,375 --> 00:08:02,166

Yeah.

154

00:08:02,166 --> 00:08:06,833

And you know, that is rabbit's

love interest in that in the movie.

155

00:08:07,291 --> 00:08:08,541

And they share a lot in common.

156

00:08:08,541 --> 00:08:13,708

She left home at 17 and he's, you know,

mostly on his own in a wayward state.

157

00:08:14,416 --> 00:08:17,416

And she's looking to break out

to the big city, New York City,

158

00:08:17,833 --> 00:08:20,083

to pursue a modeling career

and kind of make a book

159

00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:23,125

with the other cast is great, too.

160

00:08:23,125 --> 00:08:26,375

Anthony Mackie,

who's this megastar now in the MCU?

161

00:08:26,416 --> 00:08:28,375

Has Falcon,

162

00:08:28,375 --> 00:08:31,875

Falcon in Winter soldier and, you know,

the new Captain America and whatnot.

163

00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:35,958

He he has a big role as Papa Doc of.

164

00:08:36,041 --> 00:08:36,666

A duck.

165

00:08:36,666 --> 00:08:40,541

The leader of the,

leaders of the Free World crew.

166

00:08:40,541 --> 00:08:42,666

And he's got a nasty in there.

167

00:08:42,666 --> 00:08:44,708

And that's his role. Yeah.

168

00:08:44,708 --> 00:08:47,708

Rabbit beats the Falcon.

169

00:08:51,250 --> 00:08:53,500

But then it also

the other parts of the ensemble.

170

00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:57,500

Kim Basinger does a great convincing job

of playing the trashy mother.

171

00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:58,833

She plays that really well.

172

00:08:58,833 --> 00:09:01,208

Absolutely. Very good. Yeah.

173

00:09:01,208 --> 00:09:03,375

And cheddar Bob is my man.

174

00:09:03,375 --> 00:09:05,708

That Bob

175

00:09:05,708 --> 00:09:07,041

better, Bob better.

176

00:09:07,041 --> 00:09:09,458

Bob is like the.

177

00:09:09,458 --> 00:09:12,166

You know, I don't want to be insulting,

but kind of like, dimwitted,

178

00:09:12,166 --> 00:09:15,375

unintelligent, but funny, but super loyal.

179

00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:16,875

Friend of.

180

00:09:16,875 --> 00:09:19,791

Yeah. Of rabbit in the crew.

181

00:09:19,791 --> 00:09:21,416

And he has that

182

00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:23,291

very memorable

183

00:09:23,291 --> 00:09:26,291

scene where, you know,

there's a feud breaking,

184

00:09:27,458 --> 00:09:31,916

breaking out between their crew

and the Free World crew.

185

00:09:31,916 --> 00:09:35,708

And he has this gun, his mother's gun,

and he accidentally shoot himself

186

00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:37,375

in the leg.

187

00:09:37,375 --> 00:09:40,375

He goes full, Plaxico Burress.

188

00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:42,166

Plaxico Burress.

189

00:09:42,166 --> 00:09:44,083

Yeah, yeah, I forgot about that.

190

00:09:44,083 --> 00:09:45,500

Oh, no, this is seriously.

191

00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:46,958

Now, here's

192

00:09:46,958 --> 00:09:49,125

the thing with this,

you know, and he's bleeding profusely.

193

00:09:49,125 --> 00:09:52,125

And, you know,

they take him out driving to the hospital.

194

00:09:52,666 --> 00:09:55,958

And even during that hospital scene where

he's driving, he's just like blurts out

195

00:09:56,458 --> 00:09:57,250

Mick, Bob.

196

00:09:57,250 --> 00:09:59,416

And like, they're like,

what are you talking about, Mick?

197

00:09:59,416 --> 00:10:01,541

Cheddar? Bob? He's wondering

what his rap name is supposed to.

198

00:10:01,541 --> 00:10:02,708

Be, because.

199

00:10:02,708 --> 00:10:06,166

He wanted rabbit to teach him

how to write.

200

00:10:06,916 --> 00:10:08,708

Rhymes. That was a good scene.

201

00:10:11,625 --> 00:10:13,000

And, as D.J.

202

00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,166

is our eyes,

I couldn't remember what it was, but,

203

00:10:17,833 --> 00:10:21,000

But he was very enlightened,

and it reminded me of Sharif.

204

00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,750

From Menace to Society and another film

I can't remember now, but there's

205

00:10:24,750 --> 00:10:28,958

another type of character who was like

the conscience of this crew. Yes.

206

00:10:29,375 --> 00:10:31,375

Yeah, like preach, like preacher.

207

00:10:31,375 --> 00:10:32,125

That's it. Yeah.

208

00:10:32,125 --> 00:10:35,125

Preacher. Yeah.

209

00:10:35,166 --> 00:10:36,250

Exactly. Yeah. That's right.

210

00:10:36,250 --> 00:10:37,041

That's the same role.

211

00:10:37,041 --> 00:10:39,208

And they make fun of that in the don't

be a minister.

212

00:10:39,208 --> 00:10:41,958

Yes. Yeah,

213

00:10:41,958 --> 00:10:43,458

yeah.

214

00:10:43,458 --> 00:10:47,250

And they have

Michael Phifer playing future

215

00:10:47,833 --> 00:10:51,583

who I guess that that's a parallel

to, to Eminem's actual film.

216

00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:52,750

Proof.

217

00:10:52,750 --> 00:10:55,416

Yes. Right.

218

00:10:55,416 --> 00:10:59,125

Real late proof

who passed away from the crew.

219

00:10:59,416 --> 00:11:01,958

But yeah, he was,

you know, McCaffrey's McCaffrey.

220

00:11:01,958 --> 00:11:03,250

So he's going to give you what he got.

221

00:11:04,583 --> 00:11:06,625

And I

take it every time because he's great.

222

00:11:06,625 --> 00:11:09,416

Yeah yeah.

223

00:11:09,416 --> 00:11:10,916

He's great.

He's got the dreads in this one.

224

00:11:10,916 --> 00:11:13,500

And normally

he doesn't have a longer hair.

225

00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:15,333

So is it

226

00:11:15,333 --> 00:11:18,333

is cool to see him as a.

227

00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:21,666

You know convincing

you know trying to convince Brad Pitt to,

228

00:11:21,666 --> 00:11:22,708

to take his shot

229

00:11:22,708 --> 00:11:26,458

and it's just kind of sticking through him

even when, you know B rabbit

230

00:11:26,833 --> 00:11:29,833

has doubts and that kind of turns on him

a little bit.

231

00:11:30,583 --> 00:11:33,375

You know, when he goes to apologize,

the man at the end, he was like,

232

00:11:33,375 --> 00:11:34,666

yeah, you know, it's all good.

233

00:11:34,666 --> 00:11:37,666

You know, up here

I never, you know, I never left

234

00:11:38,375 --> 00:11:38,833

them. I'm here.

235

00:11:38,833 --> 00:11:43,250

And he convinces him me to go out there

and, and, do his thing.

236

00:11:43,250 --> 00:11:47,416

But yeah, he, he was a very loyal,

loyal friend to, b rabbit,

237

00:11:48,458 --> 00:11:49,041

you know,

238

00:11:49,041 --> 00:11:52,041

I mean, at first I was like,

yeah, that's definitely proof right there.

239

00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:53,708

Yeah.

240

00:11:53,708 --> 00:11:55,333

Yeah, he's based on him.

241

00:11:55,333 --> 00:11:58,125

I meant to go

look and see like any of the other D12

242

00:11:58,125 --> 00:12:01,208

like like characters

portrayed in this movie.

243

00:12:01,250 --> 00:12:02,833

I didn't really look.

244

00:12:02,833 --> 00:12:07,208

I'm thinking Bizarro is,

I can't think is who is his name?

245

00:12:07,208 --> 00:12:10,125

An eight mile big guy,

246

00:12:10,125 --> 00:12:10,375

kind of.

247

00:12:10,375 --> 00:12:11,208

Saul.

248

00:12:11,208 --> 00:12:14,208

Yeah.

249

00:12:15,250 --> 00:12:15,416

Well,

250

00:12:15,416 --> 00:12:18,458

I know Eminem's friend Obie Trice,

who's on some of his records.

251

00:12:18,458 --> 00:12:19,791

He was in this film also.

252

00:12:19,791 --> 00:12:21,916

Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

253

00:12:21,916 --> 00:12:24,916

At the end of the battle.

254

00:12:26,250 --> 00:12:27,583

And did you catch exhibit?

255

00:12:27,583 --> 00:12:29,541

Was that the he he was the. Yeah.

256

00:12:29,541 --> 00:12:31,875

The lunch truck rapper that he did.

257

00:12:31,875 --> 00:12:33,000

And exhibit was in there.

258

00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,958

Here?

259

00:12:34,958 --> 00:12:36,291

Yeah.

260

00:12:36,291 --> 00:12:38,416

Exhibit was ripping on everybody.

261

00:12:38,416 --> 00:12:39,916

Instagram came and ripped on him.

262

00:12:42,125 --> 00:12:43,708

It's like he was like, it is Ryan pimps.

263

00:12:43,708 --> 00:12:46,708

Nope.

264

00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:49,000

It's good to see exhibit two, man.

265

00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,916

He's a he's a good kid. He's

a good kid. He's a good dude too.

266

00:12:51,916 --> 00:12:54,208

So he got a nice little part in there.

267

00:12:54,208 --> 00:12:56,500

Yeah.

268

00:12:56,500 --> 00:12:58,583

And there was a character of wink,

and he was shady.

269

00:12:58,583 --> 00:13:03,041

He was putting up with B rabbit and crew

270

00:13:03,458 --> 00:13:06,958

and trying

to promote them into the shelter,

271

00:13:07,958 --> 00:13:09,041

you know, rap battle.

272

00:13:09,041 --> 00:13:11,375

But he was also playing

the other side too.

273

00:13:11,375 --> 00:13:15,375

And he was hanging with the

The Free World crew.

274

00:13:15,583 --> 00:13:19,958

And then during the battle, wasn't I think

he actually ended up kicking P rabbit.

275

00:13:20,166 --> 00:13:21,458

Right.

276

00:13:21,458 --> 00:13:24,500

The catch that that was when he got jumped

after they jumped him.

277

00:13:24,791 --> 00:13:26,083

Yeah.

278

00:13:26,083 --> 00:13:27,958

After he got after he.

279

00:13:27,958 --> 00:13:30,541

Said after and yeah after he had a wink.

280

00:13:30,541 --> 00:13:31,291

His is.

281

00:13:31,291 --> 00:13:34,500

But in this radio station,

the radio station

282

00:13:35,041 --> 00:13:38,208

room upstairs,

he can call the funeral crew.

283

00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:41,250

And he ran out on B rabbit

outside of his trailer.

284

00:13:41,708 --> 00:13:42,958

Yeah. That was yeah.

285

00:13:42,958 --> 00:13:48,375

And that was tough to see

because there was Lilly,

286

00:13:48,375 --> 00:13:53,916

b rabbits, you know, very much

younger sister who was only like a toddler

287

00:13:54,125 --> 00:13:58,958

and B rather had removed her from the home

because his mom was drunk and

288

00:13:59,916 --> 00:14:00,791

took her next door.

289

00:14:00,791 --> 00:14:03,166

That's at the point where he's like,

go inside, go inside.

290

00:14:03,166 --> 00:14:07,166

Because the crew had pulled up

and she just sadly, she got to see her

291

00:14:07,166 --> 00:14:11,833

brother get beat to a pulp by that crew

and she was shouting, Jimmy!

292

00:14:12,791 --> 00:14:15,250

Yeah, but they, they spared his life.

293

00:14:15,250 --> 00:14:16,333

They had a gun to his head,

294

00:14:16,333 --> 00:14:19,333

but they just wanted to really intimidate

him, beat him up.

295

00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,166

But I think that really spurred him

296

00:14:22,166 --> 00:14:25,166

on and inspired him to

297

00:14:25,166 --> 00:14:26,833

finish writing and

298

00:14:26,833 --> 00:14:29,583

and then battle that final battle scene.

299

00:14:29,583 --> 00:14:31,541

Right.

300

00:14:31,541 --> 00:14:32,416

Spirit of rabbit.

301

00:14:32,416 --> 00:14:33,916

The rabbit's coming for you.

302

00:14:33,916 --> 00:14:36,916

And, he came for the whole

crew one by one.

303

00:14:38,916 --> 00:14:41,500

Speaking of which,

2023 is the year of the rabbit.

304

00:14:41,500 --> 00:14:42,958

You guys know that?

305

00:14:42,958 --> 00:14:44,625

I didn't know that, Lunar.

306

00:14:44,625 --> 00:14:46,875

New Year, and I'm a rabbit, actually.

307

00:14:46,875 --> 00:14:49,833

So, Need to know. There you go.

308

00:14:49,833 --> 00:14:51,750

Maybe put. Things

ahead. Hopefully we'll see.

309

00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:55,916

They built up a lot of drama in here.

310

00:14:55,916 --> 00:14:58,916

I see, like, almost every time

that the rabbit takes them, like,

311

00:14:58,916 --> 00:15:03,416

there's this long pause and it ends

is built in the very beginning scene,

312

00:15:03,916 --> 00:15:08,291

which actually inspires the lyrics

to lose yourself, which we'll get to.

313

00:15:08,750 --> 00:15:11,458

You know, he in that very opening scene,

he literally does

314

00:15:11,458 --> 00:15:12,583

throw up on his sweatshirt.

315

00:15:12,583 --> 00:15:13,833

So that's part of the lyrics.

316

00:15:13,833 --> 00:15:16,000

It's vomit on the sweater already.

317

00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,291

Mom. Spaghetti.

318

00:15:17,291 --> 00:15:19,250

But there's that long pause.

319

00:15:19,250 --> 00:15:23,208

And then almost every time he's actually

doing rap out, this is long pause.

320

00:15:23,208 --> 00:15:26,208

And you're you're almost holding your

breath like, is he going to choke again?

321

00:15:26,541 --> 00:15:28,916

Because the crowd starts

to egg them on a little bit.

322

00:15:28,916 --> 00:15:32,916

And then he does kind of start,

start flowing.

323

00:15:32,916 --> 00:15:34,458

And the amazing Joe.

324

00:15:34,458 --> 00:15:37,583

What's he confronts

lickety split in that battle,

325

00:15:37,833 --> 00:15:42,375

he gains his footing because now

the crowd kind of is kind of cheering him

326

00:15:42,375 --> 00:15:45,791

on a little bit because they're like,

oh, this guy really got a flow about them.

327

00:15:46,458 --> 00:15:49,500

I think he gains his footing

in that moment and say, okay,

328

00:15:50,583 --> 00:15:52,750

he broke the ice.

329

00:15:52,750 --> 00:15:56,291

Yeah, I think the challengers got

a little harder and harder in procession.

330

00:15:56,791 --> 00:16:00,083

It's just like you're moving up the ranks

in the heavyweight championship

331

00:16:00,250 --> 00:16:02,625

and then the next one is verse Lotto.

332

00:16:02,625 --> 00:16:04,791

And Lotto did a really nice job.

333

00:16:04,791 --> 00:16:08,750

And it was really, even with the amount

of applause and cheering

334

00:16:08,750 --> 00:16:12,041

from the crowd, he the one that hit that

Leave It to Beaver reference.

335

00:16:13,333 --> 00:16:17,833

And I think rabbit says to, future's

like, hey man, he almost got me with that.

336

00:16:17,833 --> 00:16:19,000

Leave It to Beaver.

337

00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,333

Kind of. Flipped it back on him. Yeah.

338

00:16:21,333 --> 00:16:22,166

Yeah, yeah.

339

00:16:22,166 --> 00:16:25,166

Ward, I think you're a little hard

on the Beaver.

340

00:16:25,958 --> 00:16:27,708

That's good.

341

00:16:27,708 --> 00:16:28,916

So good.

342

00:16:28,916 --> 00:16:31,916

And I like the way he ended

that bad attitude in my model was,

343

00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:35,250

oh, I get the dollar for me

344

00:16:35,250 --> 00:16:38,416

to get the, oh, man, who is.

345

00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:40,791

Finish him.

346

00:16:40,791 --> 00:16:42,583

Fell apart.

347

00:16:42,583 --> 00:16:43,541

Finish him.

348

00:16:43,541 --> 00:16:45,375

I get the. Dollar from. Your mother.

349

00:16:45,375 --> 00:16:47,625

I think I used to know that whole part.

That whole song.

350

00:16:47,625 --> 00:16:49,791

About getting seven numbers

for a dollar for.

351

00:16:49,791 --> 00:16:52,208

Tomorrow. Yeah, yeah. Yeah,

because his name was Lotto.

352

00:16:52,208 --> 00:16:53,416

That was.

353

00:16:53,416 --> 00:16:54,375

That was nice.

354

00:16:54,375 --> 00:16:55,000

From the mother.

355

00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,000

Tomorrow.

356

00:16:59,416 --> 00:17:02,333

Oh, man.

357

00:17:02,333 --> 00:17:06,375

And then the final battles was Papa Doc,

Anthony Mackie's character.

358

00:17:06,375 --> 00:17:09,458

And there's a beautiful symmetry

359

00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:13,208

in the movie where as be

360

00:17:13,250 --> 00:17:16,666

rabbit choked and really couldn't

perform at all in the beginning.

361

00:17:17,833 --> 00:17:21,708

So he lost the battle, was booed off stage

like the song says,

362

00:17:22,333 --> 00:17:24,958

and he just left him full, you know,

363

00:17:24,958 --> 00:17:27,625

in shame,

364

00:17:27,625 --> 00:17:29,625

whereas he is so more polished

365

00:17:29,625 --> 00:17:33,625

now in his strategy was really hype up

the crowd.

366

00:17:33,625 --> 00:17:36,708

He's got the crowd going, you know,

wave your hands for the three one, three.

367

00:17:37,291 --> 00:17:40,791

And he's really kind of

just spilling his guts

368

00:17:40,791 --> 00:17:45,166

saying almost like being self-deprecating,

saying, listen, I am a bum.

369

00:17:45,166 --> 00:17:47,791

I'm, I'm white.

I live in a trailer. I'm up.

370

00:17:47,791 --> 00:17:50,791

He's even said that my girl

slept with wink because that was it.

371

00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:51,541

Yeah.

372

00:17:51,541 --> 00:17:53,083

He's a like laying it all out there.

373

00:17:53,083 --> 00:17:55,041

Whatever.

But he makes it right, makes rhymes.

374

00:17:55,041 --> 00:17:57,208

So it's like,

what else more can you say about me?

375

00:17:57,208 --> 00:18:01,791

And then he starts dissing, Papa Doc

for having gone to private school is

376

00:18:01,791 --> 00:18:04,875

real name is Clarence and all this stuff,

and it just throws in the mic.

377

00:18:04,875 --> 00:18:06,958

What else

you know about me? And it was kind of like

378

00:18:08,166 --> 00:18:11,541

all right, that mic drop moment,

he didn't actually drop them, like.

379

00:18:11,541 --> 00:18:12,666

But he kind of just kind of throw in.

380

00:18:12,666 --> 00:18:15,625

It was like all right,

what more can you say after that?

381

00:18:15,625 --> 00:18:18,666

But I know something about you

with the Cranbrook.

382

00:18:18,666 --> 00:18:21,666

That's a private. School.

383

00:18:21,791 --> 00:18:22,416

Did his homework.

384

00:18:22,416 --> 00:18:26,083

I noticed that like a lot of these days,

he did his homework on these guys.

385

00:18:26,083 --> 00:18:27,875

You know,

who you're going to compete against.

386

00:18:27,875 --> 00:18:29,625

And that was smart.

387

00:18:29,625 --> 00:18:32,750

He really turned his vulnerability

into invincibility.

388

00:18:32,750 --> 00:18:35,916

And he was so good

that Papa Doc couldn't even

389

00:18:36,041 --> 00:18:39,041

couldn't even say anything.

390

00:18:39,083 --> 00:18:42,791

But I think that that epiphany came to him

because cheddar Bob

391

00:18:43,291 --> 00:18:46,250

kind of said, hey, you know,

are you worried that they're going to talk

392

00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:48,375

about what he's going to say about you?

393

00:18:48,375 --> 00:18:51,250

And then he was like,

oh, shoot, and shut up.

394

00:18:51,250 --> 00:18:53,291

Bob was just kind of like,

you know, spinning, like you

395

00:18:53,291 --> 00:18:55,875

spinning like, yeah, you know, you she's

going to say all these things about you.

396

00:18:55,875 --> 00:18:56,666

And he's like, wait a minute.

397

00:18:57,791 --> 00:18:59,375

He might say this.

398

00:18:59,375 --> 00:19:01,333

I could beat him to the punch.

399

00:19:01,333 --> 00:19:02,083

Yeah.

400

00:19:02,083 --> 00:19:05,083

You know, and I guess Papa Doc,

you know, trying to,

401

00:19:05,083 --> 00:19:08,125

you know, try to hold his cards

and tell him to put his cards.

402

00:19:08,125 --> 00:19:10,125

I say, you know, let him go first.

403

00:19:10,125 --> 00:19:12,458

Because he's gonna. Choke.

404

00:19:12,458 --> 00:19:15,083

He didn't choke.

405

00:19:15,083 --> 00:19:16,458

It. That's always. Gonna be.

406

00:19:16,458 --> 00:19:18,125

That's a good point, cheddar Bob.

407

00:19:18,125 --> 00:19:21,166

As kind of dimwitted as he was, he did.

408

00:19:21,333 --> 00:19:22,875

He did come up with that statement.

409

00:19:22,875 --> 00:19:25,875

And he he is a source of,

410

00:19:26,333 --> 00:19:28,833

some strength for for rabbit.

411

00:19:28,833 --> 00:19:30,791

Remember, he's

the one that says like, f the free world.

412

00:19:30,791 --> 00:19:32,916

And then he kind of start the whole feud

and everything.

413

00:19:32,916 --> 00:19:35,166

It's like, man,

what are you talking about?

414

00:19:35,166 --> 00:19:35,916

The good point there.

415

00:19:35,916 --> 00:19:38,708

And yeah, about going first

they would do heads or tails.

416

00:19:38,708 --> 00:19:39,250

They would get

417

00:19:40,458 --> 00:19:40,916

I think it

418

00:19:40,916 --> 00:19:44,666

was just 45 seconds

normally to do the wrap.

419

00:19:44,666 --> 00:19:46,958

And the final round was the 92nd.

420

00:19:46,958 --> 00:19:50,916

But just like in a lot of sports,

you can choose.

421

00:19:50,916 --> 00:19:52,416

Maybe you choose a defer or whatever,

422

00:19:52,416 --> 00:19:55,416

which team goes first

or like an NFL overtime.

423

00:19:56,416 --> 00:19:59,416

A lot of times you want to go second

because then you know what you need to do.

424

00:19:59,541 --> 00:20:03,458

Do I need to get a field goal or to tie,

or do I need to get a touchdown?

425

00:20:03,875 --> 00:20:07,750

So in most cases they were going

you would opt to go second,

426

00:20:07,750 --> 00:20:10,750

because that way you can kind of

turn the words on.

427

00:20:11,458 --> 00:20:14,458

In this last case,

the final battle was Papa Doc,

428

00:20:15,375 --> 00:20:18,375

like you said, he have a doc said,

you know, you go first.

429

00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:20,791

So he really had to go all out.

430

00:20:20,791 --> 00:20:23,791

You can't hold back at all

when you going first.

431

00:20:23,833 --> 00:20:25,333

You don't want to give them any ammunition

at all.

432

00:20:25,333 --> 00:20:26,208

So he just kind of.

433

00:20:27,541 --> 00:20:29,333

Checked off all of the punchlines.

434

00:20:29,333 --> 00:20:31,541

Yeah he did.

435

00:20:31,541 --> 00:20:32,916

He emptied it all out.

436

00:20:32,916 --> 00:20:35,125

Rendered him speechless.

437

00:20:35,125 --> 00:20:35,791

Yeah.

438

00:20:35,791 --> 00:20:38,791

Literally. Yeah.

439

00:20:39,041 --> 00:20:42,083

It made me beat the beat

and he still kept going.

440

00:20:43,041 --> 00:20:45,916

I don't need to beat.

441

00:20:45,916 --> 00:20:48,916

Hey, you know you're winning

when you don't even need the.

442

00:20:49,916 --> 00:20:52,000

Yeah. He says, you know what I mean?

443

00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000

I think to it in that last statement

he said, you know what?

444

00:20:55,625 --> 00:20:57,250

I don't even care

what y'all think about me

445

00:20:57,250 --> 00:20:58,791

because I didn't already prove myself.

446

00:20:58,791 --> 00:21:01,083

So it is what it is.

447

00:21:01,083 --> 00:21:04,375

This is who I am, like me,

and not tell them something

448

00:21:04,375 --> 00:21:06,625

they don't already know

because I told him everything.

449

00:21:06,625 --> 00:21:09,500

Yeah. Very disarming.

450

00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:10,750

Stole all of your punchlines.

451

00:21:10,750 --> 00:21:13,708

What are you going to say now?

452

00:21:13,708 --> 00:21:16,000

What are you going to rap about off

the top of your head?

453

00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:16,375

Yeah.

454

00:21:21,083 --> 00:21:23,333

It was funny when the very first was.

455

00:21:23,333 --> 00:21:24,458

It was. It was lickety split.

456

00:21:24,458 --> 00:21:27,458

Or was it a different rap battle

where he actually moon the guy?

457

00:21:28,583 --> 00:21:29,291

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

458

00:21:29,291 --> 00:21:31,958

That was, Yeah, I know,

I think that was the key.

459

00:21:31,958 --> 00:21:33,500

That was lickety the.

460

00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:35,833

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

461

00:21:35,833 --> 00:21:36,916

No, that was funny.

462

00:21:36,916 --> 00:21:40,333

If you want to smile and welcome,

we had of course, the eight mile.

463

00:21:41,666 --> 00:21:42,750

That was good.

464

00:21:42,750 --> 00:21:45,750

Okay.

465

00:21:48,666 --> 00:21:49,958

But yeah, the river.

466

00:21:49,958 --> 00:21:51,916

He really got on for clearance, though.

467

00:21:51,916 --> 00:21:54,041

Truth.

468

00:21:54,041 --> 00:21:57,333

But it was funny because the funny

how he actually figured out

469

00:21:57,333 --> 00:22:00,333

his name was when he was hanging out

with the girls,

470

00:22:00,458 --> 00:22:05,708

and, and he said, oh, you know, Papa Doc

something said, oh, Clarence.

471

00:22:05,708 --> 00:22:08,166

Yeah. Oh, he. Went to school.

472

00:22:08,166 --> 00:22:11,166

My sister or brother

or something like that in there.

473

00:22:11,166 --> 00:22:12,583

Okay.

474

00:22:12,583 --> 00:22:13,125

And he wasn't

475

00:22:13,125 --> 00:22:14,416

even a part of the conversation,

476

00:22:14,416 --> 00:22:17,833

but he just registered in the back of the

file to stand back.

477

00:22:17,833 --> 00:22:18,166

There.

478

00:22:19,708 --> 00:22:20,208

Yeah.

479

00:22:20,208 --> 00:22:22,208

Why is this. Just a funny name for me?

480

00:22:22,208 --> 00:22:25,875

It reminds me, actually, of Beastie Boys.

481

00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:28,000

Hey, ladies. Oh, yeah.

482

00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,500

There's a. Line.

Where where? It was just ridiculous.

483

00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:34,666

Someone I forget who says it might even be

someone outside the 3 to 3 main guys.

484

00:22:34,666 --> 00:22:36,416

It's like, is your name Michael Diamond?

485

00:22:36,416 --> 00:22:39,416

No, mine's Clarence.

486

00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,000

It just gets me every time.

487

00:22:44,958 --> 00:22:47,000

But then Drake cast it.

488

00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,416

The guy who played Greg,

who was the deadbeat boyfriend,

489

00:22:49,416 --> 00:22:52,416

Michael Shannon,

he's gone on to so much bigger and better.

490

00:22:52,416 --> 00:22:54,708

What a great career. Yeah.

491

00:22:54,708 --> 00:22:55,541

You wouldn't think.

492

00:22:55,541 --> 00:22:58,541

He's a phenomenal actor.

He's so good. Oof!

493

00:22:58,625 --> 00:23:00,083

So good.

494

00:23:00,083 --> 00:23:02,083

Yeah, I've seen him.

I've seen him and some stuff.

495

00:23:02,083 --> 00:23:03,708

And he's really, really good.

496

00:23:03,708 --> 00:23:05,833

Even he was even good in this.

497

00:23:05,833 --> 00:23:08,666

He was great in this.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

498

00:23:08,666 --> 00:23:09,250

He was great.

499

00:23:09,250 --> 00:23:13,041

And ironically in real well,

they were joking in the movie

500

00:23:13,041 --> 00:23:16,041

that he went to the same school,

so he was almost around the same age,

501

00:23:16,041 --> 00:23:20,500

which made it even that more awkward for,

for rabbit that he's with the mother.

502

00:23:21,125 --> 00:23:23,750

But in real life,

he's, he's a couple years younger than

503

00:23:24,791 --> 00:23:26,083

than Eminem.

504

00:23:26,083 --> 00:23:27,166

Yeah.

505

00:23:27,166 --> 00:23:30,125

He's something like 48 and Eminem

just turned 50 this year.

506

00:23:30,125 --> 00:23:35,500

And Taryn Manning plays Janine, who was,

the rabbit's ex-girlfriend.

507

00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:38,416

She was in Hustle and Flow

and a lot of a lot of things as well.

508

00:23:38,416 --> 00:23:41,041

Yeah. It's a great cast.

509

00:23:41,041 --> 00:23:41,791

Absolutely.

510

00:23:41,791 --> 00:23:44,166

I enjoyed Michael Shannon and, Knives Out.

511

00:23:44,166 --> 00:23:46,208

You guys see Knives Out?

512

00:23:46,208 --> 00:23:47,083

I haven't seen it yet.

513

00:23:47,083 --> 00:23:48,583

I guess I'll haven't seen it.

514

00:23:48,583 --> 00:23:49,166

Oh, man.

515

00:23:49,166 --> 00:23:52,625

He's he plays the son of the,

the the writer.

516

00:23:52,875 --> 00:23:54,208

It's very good, very good.

517

00:23:54,208 --> 00:23:56,416

And everything.

518

00:23:56,416 --> 00:23:56,625

Yeah.

519

00:23:56,625 --> 00:24:00,375

And eight mile, directed by Curtis Hanson,

who also did L.A.

520

00:24:00,375 --> 00:24:02,250

confidential. You guys see that movie?

521

00:24:02,250 --> 00:24:03,458

I had not.

522

00:24:03,458 --> 00:24:05,208

Oh, it's a great movie.

523

00:24:05,208 --> 00:24:07,791

1997, one of my favorites in that year.

524

00:24:07,791 --> 00:24:09,375

And Kim Basinger was also in this movie.

525

00:24:09,375 --> 00:24:10,875

She plays the. Lead.

526

00:24:10,875 --> 00:24:13,041

I remember that

it was critically acclaimed. Yeah.

527

00:24:14,083 --> 00:24:15,666

And he also did Wonder Boys.

528

00:24:15,666 --> 00:24:18,666

If you ever seen that with Michael

Douglas.

529

00:24:21,291 --> 00:24:24,083

Tobey Maguire, terrific movie.

530

00:24:24,083 --> 00:24:27,333

Yeah, his range is great,

but he passed away a few years

531

00:24:27,541 --> 00:24:30,833

back in 2016,

so maybe one of his last movies.

532

00:24:33,041 --> 00:24:34,583

I have one question for you guys.

533

00:24:34,583 --> 00:24:39,000

If you picked up on this rabbit's

crew goes and burns down an abandoned home

534

00:24:39,250 --> 00:24:44,791

because that was a scene of,

a rape of a young girl,

535

00:24:45,458 --> 00:24:49,791

and they thought it as a symbol

that they wanted to destroy.

536

00:24:49,791 --> 00:24:52,250

And yeah,

I understand where they're coming from.

537

00:24:52,250 --> 00:24:55,208

Well, during that scene of B, rabbit

538

00:24:55,208 --> 00:24:58,125

finds a photo of a family like a

539

00:24:58,125 --> 00:25:00,250

Polaroid.

540

00:25:00,250 --> 00:25:02,291

I don't know if there's

any significance to that.

541

00:25:02,291 --> 00:25:06,166

Or was he just like saying, wow,

this used to be an actual home

542

00:25:06,166 --> 00:25:08,833

or was he just long

for like a traditional nuclear family?

543

00:25:08,833 --> 00:25:09,333

I don't know,

544

00:25:10,333 --> 00:25:11,458

I didn't I was

545

00:25:11,458 --> 00:25:14,458

having trouble

like seeing the significance of that.

546

00:25:15,583 --> 00:25:17,041

I wasn't sure what

547

00:25:17,041 --> 00:25:20,958

that was like you,

but I think it was supposed to symbolize,

548

00:25:20,958 --> 00:25:24,375

a more stable family or like,

here's a home that this should have.

549

00:25:24,375 --> 00:25:26,291

This was a home. Yes.

550

00:25:26,291 --> 00:25:29,791

But it right by the disrepair

became an attractive nuisance,

551

00:25:29,791 --> 00:25:31,041

which is an actual thing.

552

00:25:31,041 --> 00:25:32,041

Attractive nuisance.

553

00:25:32,041 --> 00:25:35,041

Destructive nuisance. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

554

00:25:35,750 --> 00:25:38,416

But, yeah, I, I picked up on that, too.

555

00:25:38,416 --> 00:25:38,708

Yeah.

556

00:25:38,708 --> 00:25:40,583

It was like, it was kind of like,

kind of thought, like.

557

00:25:40,583 --> 00:25:43,250

Yeah, man, this was a,

this was once a home of love.

558

00:25:43,250 --> 00:25:46,416

And like, things fall apart

and this is what it's become.

559

00:25:47,541 --> 00:25:47,708

Yeah.

560

00:25:47,708 --> 00:25:50,166

Because they were saying, you know,

if there was no abandoned home,

561

00:25:50,166 --> 00:25:53,166

then this guy wouldn't have been able

to rape the girl.

562

00:25:53,250 --> 00:25:57,958

And so let's destroy this,

destroy this area and it was symbolic.

563

00:25:59,416 --> 00:25:59,791

But you're right.

564

00:25:59,791 --> 00:26:03,583

I think

Robert made some sort of suggestion that

565

00:26:04,416 --> 00:26:07,208

he either wished he had a home with that,

or it used to have substance up

566

00:26:07,208 --> 00:26:10,250

to that effect

when he was talking to Alex.

567

00:26:11,208 --> 00:26:14,208

Right.

568

00:26:14,708 --> 00:26:17,708

To break to.

569

00:26:19,875 --> 00:26:20,750

Anything else that you guys

570

00:26:20,750 --> 00:26:24,541

kind of questioned or or,

you know, disliked or not the film?

571

00:26:24,916 --> 00:26:27,458

I mean, one thing that I see

as a common theme, and I guess this comes

572

00:26:27,458 --> 00:26:32,291

with the machismo and bravado, is, again,

there's this homophobia in it.

573

00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:33,208

Yeah.

574

00:26:33,208 --> 00:26:37,250

Yeah, the rabbit does befriend

the one gay man at his job.

575

00:26:38,041 --> 00:26:38,500

Yeah, there's.

576

00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:41,500

Still a lot of homophobia in his lyrics

577

00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:44,500

and a lot of the the back and forth.

578

00:26:44,541 --> 00:26:47,083

Yeah. And the rap battles and stuff.

579

00:26:47,083 --> 00:26:47,541

Yeah.

580

00:26:47,541 --> 00:26:50,541

I guess even in 1995,

we weren't we weren't that evolved yet.

581

00:26:50,833 --> 00:26:51,791

Right?

582

00:26:51,791 --> 00:26:52,125

Yeah.

583

00:26:52,125 --> 00:26:54,916

And that was the one guy who actually,

584

00:26:55,875 --> 00:26:57,041

you know, he actually

585

00:26:57,041 --> 00:27:00,041

saved the day in a sense,

if you think about it, because

586

00:27:00,583 --> 00:27:05,291

he held down the rabbit shift while he ran

off to to go compete in battle.

587

00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:06,166

Exactly.

588

00:27:06,166 --> 00:27:06,333

Yeah.

589

00:27:06,333 --> 00:27:07,666

I was wondering how

that was going to play out,

590

00:27:07,666 --> 00:27:12,541

because you see a building up like,

he finally is doing better at work,

591

00:27:12,541 --> 00:27:15,541

and he's earning

the trust of his boss, Manny.

592

00:27:15,625 --> 00:27:18,375

And he's like, hey,

like, can you. Someone's out sick tonight.

593

00:27:18,375 --> 00:27:19,875

Could you cover two?

Sure. I'll cover our cover.

594

00:27:19,875 --> 00:27:23,625

And we know that's the same night

as right away.

595

00:27:23,625 --> 00:27:26,083

He can't do it. Yeah.

596

00:27:26,083 --> 00:27:27,166

For real?

597

00:27:27,166 --> 00:27:28,166

Exactly.

598

00:27:28,166 --> 00:27:28,583

Yeah.

599

00:27:28,583 --> 00:27:31,375

No more privileges,

no more shift offerings.

600

00:27:31,375 --> 00:27:34,375

And you can't be alone on that. Oh.

601

00:27:34,916 --> 00:27:38,083

The one thing that I didn't quite sit

well or I didn't quite get

602

00:27:38,083 --> 00:27:42,166

was I thought there'd be bigger

beef after between Alex and Jimmy.

603

00:27:42,166 --> 00:27:46,541

After Jimmy caught the, in coitus and I.

604

00:27:47,375 --> 00:27:51,666

They're not mad

or neither of them are mad, but it's.

605

00:27:52,208 --> 00:27:53,416

I don't know, maybe.

606

00:27:53,416 --> 00:27:58,000

I think Jimmy understood, like, okay,

this is sort of like what the game is.

607

00:27:58,458 --> 00:28:00,416

And so he wasn't that mad.

608

00:28:00,416 --> 00:28:04,083

But I think anyone would have been like,

if she comes to the plant

609

00:28:04,458 --> 00:28:07,166

and they have a a very civil conversation.

610

00:28:07,166 --> 00:28:09,875

And I thought, that's not how

I thought it was going to go.

611

00:28:10,958 --> 00:28:11,958

Where did he.

612

00:28:11,958 --> 00:28:14,375

Actually catch her?

Or was it mostly hearsay?

613

00:28:14,375 --> 00:28:17,916

Like, I didn't know if he caught

wink with her or.

614

00:28:17,916 --> 00:28:19,208

Like, oh, he did.

615

00:28:19,208 --> 00:28:21,041

Oh yeah, that did.

616

00:28:21,041 --> 00:28:23,333

Okay. I missed that.

617

00:28:23,333 --> 00:28:25,416

Very, very much. Did okay.

618

00:28:25,416 --> 00:28:26,000

He caught. Yeah.

619

00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,208

He caught the meat act I gotcha.

620

00:28:28,208 --> 00:28:30,666

Yeah but it is interruptus.

621

00:28:30,666 --> 00:28:33,041

Yeah.

622

00:28:33,041 --> 00:28:34,708

Beat week to a pulp a weeks.

623

00:28:34,708 --> 00:28:36,458

Pants were half down.

624

00:28:36,458 --> 00:28:39,375

And it precipitated his beat down

in front of Lily later.

625

00:28:39,375 --> 00:28:39,916

I gotcha.

626

00:28:39,916 --> 00:28:42,916

Yeah, yeah, I miss

I missed a misstep. Okay.

627

00:28:42,958 --> 00:28:46,875

And you see it in the in the

in the background.

628

00:28:47,083 --> 00:28:50,416

The next studio over do you mean.

629

00:28:50,458 --> 00:28:53,458

Well, this so fisticuffs

going on in the next,

630

00:28:54,041 --> 00:28:57,041

next to it, you're going to see it.

631

00:28:57,416 --> 00:28:58,208

That made me laugh.

632

00:28:58,208 --> 00:29:01,958

It kind of been a funny little twist on a

a serious situation, but

633

00:29:01,958 --> 00:29:03,000

still I was like,

634

00:29:04,416 --> 00:29:05,250

I would think Jimmy

635

00:29:05,250 --> 00:29:08,375

be more mad,

but I guess he's a bigger fish to fry.

636

00:29:08,375 --> 00:29:09,791

In that case.

637

00:29:09,791 --> 00:29:12,083

I don't think he was as mad at her

638

00:29:12,083 --> 00:29:15,583

because she wasn't really his girlfriend.

639

00:29:16,583 --> 00:29:17,625

Yeah.

640

00:29:17,625 --> 00:29:18,750

There's that.

641

00:29:18,750 --> 00:29:21,125

There's a moment.

I wink for for for crossing the.

642

00:29:21,125 --> 00:29:22,833

Line. Yeah, that that was.

643

00:29:22,833 --> 00:29:25,125

You knew that I was interested in her.

644

00:29:25,125 --> 00:29:27,208

You stepped on my toes and.

645

00:29:27,208 --> 00:29:29,708

Yeah, you were supposed to do

that was her.

646

00:29:29,708 --> 00:29:31,208

She was like, you know what? She's.

647

00:29:31,208 --> 00:29:33,291

You know, he's not really my girl.

648

00:29:33,291 --> 00:29:33,750

You know, we.

649

00:29:33,750 --> 00:29:36,875

Yeah, we've had interesting we've we,

you know, fooled around a bit,

650

00:29:36,875 --> 00:29:39,875

but we don't necessarily

have a relationship.

651

00:29:39,875 --> 00:29:40,750

Relationship.

652

00:29:40,750 --> 00:29:41,708

Yeah. Yeah.

653

00:29:41,708 --> 00:29:44,666

The, the title or anything on it. Right.

654

00:29:44,666 --> 00:29:47,541

Is it kind of like, hey

I see you in passing and I like you, but,

655

00:29:47,541 --> 00:29:51,708

you know, we're not really together, but,

you know, in the sense of,

656

00:29:51,708 --> 00:29:54,916

you know,

the crew still supposed to be off limits.

657

00:29:55,875 --> 00:29:58,416

So the crew, you know, still supposed

to, you know, all of that

658

00:29:58,416 --> 00:30:02,375

and just not even bother to wink violated

that that that aspect.

659

00:30:03,041 --> 00:30:05,625

Yeah. And got violated in the process.

660

00:30:08,708 --> 00:30:11,708

Yeah.

661

00:30:12,666 --> 00:30:15,791

I was looking up some other like facts

about eight mile

662

00:30:15,791 --> 00:30:18,958

because I know a lot

that happened around the filming.

663

00:30:19,750 --> 00:30:22,916

And Brittany Murphy,

who plays Alex, actually

664

00:30:23,125 --> 00:30:26,458

was romantically involved

with Eminem during the production.

665

00:30:26,666 --> 00:30:29,666

She admitted that in an interview

with David Letterman back in

666

00:30:29,791 --> 00:30:32,791

in the early 90s, as she was

667

00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,875

fresh and there was rumors that,

668

00:30:36,875 --> 00:30:41,000

Eminem was actually hitting on Kim

Bassinger during the filming as well.

669

00:30:41,916 --> 00:30:43,000

Oh boy.

670

00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,833

Oh boy, I don't know.

671

00:30:44,833 --> 00:30:46,000

You know, they're not dying.

672

00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000

Anything happened. But.

673

00:30:49,333 --> 00:30:51,750

Also be remiss

if we didn't mention Eight Mile for

674

00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:56,416

those that are unaware, is an actual road

in Detroit, Eight Mile Road.

675

00:30:56,416 --> 00:30:59,500

And it's kind of

like a line of demarcation and a color

676

00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:03,166

barrier of sorts

for different portions of of the city.

677

00:31:03,875 --> 00:31:05,833

Yeah, yeah.

678

00:31:05,833 --> 00:31:09,541

The more affluent white

neighborhoods are north of Eight mile,

679

00:31:09,541 --> 00:31:14,666

and the urban neighborhoods

are south of eight mile.

680

00:31:14,666 --> 00:31:17,916

And the J Dilla book, has a really good

681

00:31:18,291 --> 00:31:21,166

breakdown

of the whole geography of Detroit.

682

00:31:21,166 --> 00:31:24,166

And, I recommend going through that

683

00:31:24,458 --> 00:31:27,458

for more color

about the eight mile situation.

684

00:31:27,916 --> 00:31:28,791

Yeah.

685

00:31:28,791 --> 00:31:33,666

The song Lose Yourself was recorded

specifically for the movie,

686

00:31:33,666 --> 00:31:37,125

and it was the first rap song to win

the Academy Award for Best Original Song,

687

00:31:37,416 --> 00:31:39,166

which it did in 2003.

688

00:31:39,166 --> 00:31:42,875

Yeah, I mean, that's become an anthem for

oh yeah, like

689

00:31:42,875 --> 00:31:44,541

like kind of like a hip hop anthem.

690

00:31:44,541 --> 00:31:44,750

Yeah.

691

00:31:44,750 --> 00:31:47,916

It starts off real slow,

kind of like the piano melody.

692

00:31:48,666 --> 00:31:51,500

And in it, it kind of like it's all about

693

00:31:51,500 --> 00:31:54,500

not missing out on your,

your one shot, your one opportunity.

694

00:31:55,125 --> 00:31:56,916

Yeah. In fact.

695

00:31:56,916 --> 00:31:58,291

And go ahead to it.

696

00:31:58,291 --> 00:32:01,333

And listen to it on the way it came

on, I think it was yesterday.

697

00:32:01,333 --> 00:32:02,000

It was one of the day.

698

00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:02,208

Yeah.

699

00:32:02,208 --> 00:32:05,958

Yesterday I was like, wow,

this is, my song right here.

700

00:32:06,333 --> 00:32:08,833

Yeah.

I love this song. It's a great. Song.

701

00:32:08,833 --> 00:32:13,125

I heard that song every Saturday

at Martial Arts because my

702

00:32:14,125 --> 00:32:15,250

sifu would play that

703

00:32:15,250 --> 00:32:18,333

because we used to train to music

and like, that was a favorite song.

704

00:32:18,333 --> 00:32:21,333

So I heard it every Saturday.

705

00:32:22,666 --> 00:32:24,583

I didn't need to listen anywhere.

706

00:32:24,583 --> 00:32:26,375

Eminem songs after that.

707

00:32:26,375 --> 00:32:28,875

Every Saturday night without fail.

708

00:32:28,875 --> 00:32:29,500

Lose yourself.

709

00:32:29,500 --> 00:32:32,500

As I was talking one.

710

00:32:32,916 --> 00:32:34,958

Some special and unique about the like.

711

00:32:34,958 --> 00:32:39,000

I think the cadence to me is unique,

where it's a little like

712

00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,875

the staccato or choppiness is like

the clock comes up over.

713

00:32:42,875 --> 00:32:44,166

But back to reality.

714

00:32:44,166 --> 00:32:46,666

Oh, because gravity. Oh, that goes rabbit,

he choked.

715

00:32:46,666 --> 00:32:49,916

He's so mad that, you know,

I really love how that flows.

716

00:32:49,916 --> 00:32:53,666

It's something that is it seems unique

and I've never really heard

717

00:32:53,666 --> 00:32:55,958

that kind of flow,

the way it breaks up like that.

718

00:32:55,958 --> 00:32:58,000

And it kind of builds to a crescendo.

719

00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,833

Yeah, he's a musical genius.

720

00:33:01,250 --> 00:33:01,458

Yeah.

721

00:33:01,458 --> 00:33:04,291

And the famous line in the beginning,

there's vomit on a sweater already.

722

00:33:04,291 --> 00:33:05,541

Mom's spaghetti.

723

00:33:05,541 --> 00:33:08,000

And you guys have seen that.

724

00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,541

I believe Eminem has a chain

of restaurants called Mom's Spaghetti.

725

00:33:11,833 --> 00:33:14,125

Yes. That he started, like, in the past

couple years.

726

00:33:14,125 --> 00:33:14,791

Yeah.

727

00:33:14,791 --> 00:33:17,791

I haven't been to

what are they in the Detroit area?

728

00:33:18,250 --> 00:33:20,583

I think so. Yes.

729

00:33:20,583 --> 00:33:23,541

I was watching the Hard Knocks on HBO.

730

00:33:23,541 --> 00:33:27,916

They were doing the Detroit Lions

in the offseason in the training camp,

731

00:33:28,416 --> 00:33:31,416

and Eminem made an appearance

because that's his team, obviously.

732

00:33:31,833 --> 00:33:34,708

And he catered the one practice.

733

00:33:34,708 --> 00:33:36,250

Session oh nice mama.

734

00:33:36,250 --> 00:33:38,708

Spaghetti. And I was like,

oh, there it is.

735

00:33:38,708 --> 00:33:38,916

Yeah.

736

00:33:38,916 --> 00:33:41,291

I remember

when they had the grand opening,

737

00:33:41,291 --> 00:33:44,416

he popped up at the at the restaurant

at the grand opening was actually,

738

00:33:44,708 --> 00:33:46,916

you know,

serving people. I was like, Holy crap.

739

00:33:49,208 --> 00:33:51,750

At Detroit, Bon bon, Jon Bon Jovi.

740

00:33:51,750 --> 00:33:53,083

Yeah.

741

00:33:53,083 --> 00:33:55,708

Serving people. Sure.

742

00:33:55,708 --> 00:33:58,916

But he looks so tiny

next to those football players, obviously.

743

00:33:59,083 --> 00:34:02,250

I mean, I don't know what his stature is,

but he's not a big guy.

744

00:34:02,250 --> 00:34:06,000

And actually, I heard that

he for this movie, he he lost 24 pounds.

745

00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,625

So he was kind of no,

746

00:34:08,625 --> 00:34:11,625

he's always been kind of thin in my eyes,

but he was almost like real thin.

747

00:34:11,625 --> 00:34:13,125

And in this movie.

748

00:34:13,125 --> 00:34:15,458

He had to be more,

749

00:34:15,458 --> 00:34:16,750

period accurate for that.

750

00:34:16,750 --> 00:34:19,875

I guess he didn't have to drop down

to his 1995 weight.

751

00:34:20,458 --> 00:34:21,791

Yeah, right.

752

00:34:21,791 --> 00:34:22,750

And be able to do that.

753

00:34:22,750 --> 00:34:24,666

I don't know how I could.

754

00:34:24,666 --> 00:34:25,208

This.

755

00:34:25,208 --> 00:34:28,208

I could do it. Yep.

756

00:34:28,791 --> 00:34:31,791

Another interesting tidbit I've found

is that the role of cheddar Bob,

757

00:34:31,791 --> 00:34:35,791

both Seth Rogen

and Jason Segel auditioned for that role.

758

00:34:37,208 --> 00:34:38,416

That's kind of the genre.

759

00:34:38,416 --> 00:34:41,208

It feels like that's the type of actor

they.

760

00:34:41,208 --> 00:34:41,916

Yeah, exactly.

761

00:34:41,916 --> 00:34:43,666

But I think they were joking

around the whole time

762

00:34:43,666 --> 00:34:45,250

and they were goofing off,

and they didn't.

763

00:34:45,250 --> 00:34:46,708

They're good friends in real life.

764

00:34:46,708 --> 00:34:48,791

Seth Rogen and Jason Segel,

and they didn't get it.

765

00:34:48,791 --> 00:34:52,000

And they're like, years later,

they're like, it went to some other guy.

766

00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,000

And he was really good, and he did

a much better job than we would have,

767

00:34:56,083 --> 00:34:57,666

which was Evan Jones.

768

00:34:57,666 --> 00:35:01,583

I feel like those two guys, even, I guess

then they weren't as big as they are now.

769

00:35:01,583 --> 00:35:03,666

But yeah, you're right.

770

00:35:03,666 --> 00:35:05,416

Two. But

771

00:35:05,416 --> 00:35:08,541

that would happen

if there's like a gravitational pull.

772

00:35:08,541 --> 00:35:11,958

The big actors like Makai Phifer

and Kim Basinger.

773

00:35:12,333 --> 00:35:16,583

But imagine those two guys, one of those

two guys in that role was kind of funny.

774

00:35:18,291 --> 00:35:21,166

Oh. I actually watched this on DVD.

775

00:35:21,166 --> 00:35:24,958

I had purchased it at a flea market

a while back, so I knew

776

00:35:24,958 --> 00:35:27,958

that we'd be covering it for real cheap,

777

00:35:28,333 --> 00:35:30,958

and it had some extra

778

00:35:30,958 --> 00:35:33,958

special features,

and I was able to watch a couple of them.

779

00:35:34,041 --> 00:35:36,666

What was neat

is they talked about rap battles

780

00:35:36,666 --> 00:35:39,583

and how intense they are in,

781

00:35:39,583 --> 00:35:42,583

like we were saying, Eminem.

782

00:35:42,875 --> 00:35:46,250

I grew up doing this and he would be

so devastated if he were to lose one.

783

00:35:47,416 --> 00:35:50,208

So in this scene,

like the final rap battle scene,

784

00:35:50,208 --> 00:35:54,250

you see there's a big mob of people

there, like 300 folks,

785

00:35:54,250 --> 00:35:56,083

and they all have their winter coats

and park is on

786

00:35:56,083 --> 00:35:58,541

and there's been this kind of warehouse

type facility.

787

00:35:58,541 --> 00:36:03,000

They were there for like 12 to 14 hours

a day for like 3 or 4 consecutive days.

788

00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,958

And they were getting a

little antsy here and there.

789

00:36:06,458 --> 00:36:08,500

So the director, Curtis Hanson,

had this great idea.

790

00:36:08,500 --> 00:36:11,500

He saw that like in between cuts,

791

00:36:11,708 --> 00:36:13,958

other little rap

battles were breaking out.

792

00:36:13,958 --> 00:36:19,125

So he actually set up a rap

battle tournament amongst the extras.

793

00:36:19,125 --> 00:36:21,875

He said, whoever wants to sign up

and show off their skills,

794

00:36:21,875 --> 00:36:24,541

and it was like 130 for them signed up.

795

00:36:24,541 --> 00:36:28,791

They thought that they could be an MC,

so he would give them only like 15 seconds

796

00:36:28,791 --> 00:36:35,000

and they would, you know, both, Hanson

and Eminem's manager and, you know,

797

00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,125

there were a couple judges

and they would kind of jot it down

798

00:36:37,125 --> 00:36:38,750

and they whittled them down to like 20.

799

00:36:38,750 --> 00:36:40,250

Then they did a little bracket tournament

800

00:36:40,250 --> 00:36:42,958

and the Final four

got to go up against Eminem.

801

00:36:42,958 --> 00:36:46,000

Like head to head. Nice. Cool. Well

802

00:36:47,291 --> 00:36:48,041

imagine that.

803

00:36:48,041 --> 00:36:49,958

It's like in in the ring with Tyson.

804

00:36:49,958 --> 00:36:52,541

I know I wouldn't. Want to do that.

805

00:36:52,541 --> 00:36:54,458

Yeah.

806

00:36:54,458 --> 00:36:56,125

They didn't

want to wear out Eminem's voice,

807

00:36:56,125 --> 00:36:59,125

so he actually pantomimed to his stuff.

808

00:36:59,458 --> 00:37:02,458

And then when he got to the final four,

they were kind of really

809

00:37:03,250 --> 00:37:05,625

blasting him an insult again,

because that's what it is.

810

00:37:05,625 --> 00:37:07,666

It's a verbal tirade.

811

00:37:07,666 --> 00:37:09,041

He's like, I can't do this anymore.

812

00:37:09,041 --> 00:37:14,625

So he actually got on the bike and he just

ripped them and he was like, no contest.

813

00:37:14,791 --> 00:37:17,041

But that was kind of cool.

814

00:37:17,041 --> 00:37:19,458

And these guys were married in forever.

815

00:37:19,458 --> 00:37:22,458

On film here because they're in this

special scene here.

816

00:37:22,875 --> 00:37:23,916

Oh, that was a good idea.

817

00:37:23,916 --> 00:37:25,750

Yeah, that sounds really cool.

818

00:37:25,750 --> 00:37:26,708

I wonder what happened to this.

819

00:37:26,708 --> 00:37:29,708

If this was final for finalists.

820

00:37:30,125 --> 00:37:30,458

Yeah.

821

00:37:31,541 --> 00:37:33,125

Where are they now.

822

00:37:33,125 --> 00:37:34,583

Exactly? Eight mile.

823

00:37:34,583 --> 00:37:37,541

Final finalists.

824

00:37:37,541 --> 00:37:40,541

There was one woman, but he tore apart.

825

00:37:42,166 --> 00:37:44,083

And was merciless on the mic.

826

00:37:44,083 --> 00:37:45,208

You know, you don't mess with him.

827

00:37:45,208 --> 00:37:47,791

Yeah, that's like getting into the ring

with Mike Tyson.

828

00:37:47,791 --> 00:37:48,541

That's.

829

00:37:48,541 --> 00:37:52,333

It's exactly even playing Gary Kasparov.

830

00:37:52,416 --> 00:37:54,166

Chess. Like.

831

00:37:54,166 --> 00:37:55,333

Yeah.

832

00:37:55,333 --> 00:37:57,166

It was like, not for me.

833

00:37:57,166 --> 00:37:57,708

Like me.

834

00:37:57,708 --> 00:38:00,333

Me trying to take LeBron one on one.

835

00:38:00,333 --> 00:38:03,333

Yeah.

836

00:38:04,041 --> 00:38:04,875

So what do you guys think?

837

00:38:04,875 --> 00:38:07,875

Did you enjoy the music overall

in the film.

838

00:38:09,375 --> 00:38:10,166

Absolutely.

839

00:38:10,166 --> 00:38:12,208

Obviously the star was shook

once. Part two.

840

00:38:12,208 --> 00:38:16,458

Oh I was in I was already in.

841

00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,750

The I mean this is like pretty much

my favorite

842

00:38:19,750 --> 00:38:23,875

era of hip hop, hip hop from the late 80s

into the mid 90s.

843

00:38:23,875 --> 00:38:26,041

Like that's my

844

00:38:26,041 --> 00:38:27,833

sweet spot in my heyday.

845

00:38:27,833 --> 00:38:30,875

So like even the non Eminem tracks

I heard, like

846

00:38:31,666 --> 00:38:34,708

I heard insane in the Membrane

by Cypress Hill, I heard some biggie,

847

00:38:34,708 --> 00:38:36,625

I heard Naughty by Nature.

848

00:38:36,625 --> 00:38:38,625

Pharcyde was, yeah, every song.

849

00:38:38,625 --> 00:38:41,291

I was like, yes,
