0:07
[SPEAKER_04]: I was gonna talk about college.
0:08
[SPEAKER_04]: There's, yeah, I mean, that's what we're doing, right?
0:11
[SPEAKER_04]: This is, it's, you know, it's back to school season and people who are much younger than us are in college and now.
0:19
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, we're professors, people are age that are also in college.
0:23
[SPEAKER_04]: That's true.
0:23
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's true.
0:24
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's not erase those, let's not erase those people.
0:27
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, almost a flat last year to Judy Art, but then, I wanted to just, we're both honest at,
0:36
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't.
0:37
[SPEAKER_04]: That's hard to do, yeah.
0:39
[SPEAKER_04]: But then you have those two things for both possibly correlating.
0:42
[SPEAKER_03]: Because because, because that's what I tried to get weekend was.
0:47
[SPEAKER_03]: And one of my audition was in San Francisco, because I was living in that lay at the time.
0:53
[SPEAKER_03]: And then I was really hurting for money.
0:55
[SPEAKER_03]: And a job that I usually work freelance for was like, hey, do you want to go to the Super Bowl for like a week?
1:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, okay, it was a job.
1:04
[SPEAKER_04]: It was for a whole week.
1:06
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and I was about to say like how is this audition on a Sunday it was I think the audition was on a Sunday We saw a little Saturday.
1:13
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it was on a Saturday.
1:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, some like that, but it was a weekend.
1:16
[SPEAKER_03]: It was definitely we can do weekend That's the Lord's day I'm pretty sure those are the Lord's day.
1:24
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the Lord's day.
1:25
[SPEAKER_02]: None of this.
1:26
[SPEAKER_04]: If you're Christian Yeah, I almost did it, you know, almost with R a whole Christian.
1:31
[SPEAKER_03]: No, this Dionysus worshiping
1:36
[SPEAKER_03]: No, man, but I was almost one of those fully grown man in college again.
1:42
[SPEAKER_04]: If I were to guide in, I guess, right, I mean, what's stopping you this year?
1:48
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, nothing truly, you got time.
1:52
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll see nothing truly, because I know Julia Art is now free as well as the graduate program, as well as Yale, the David Geffen School.
2:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the only thing is, I was like, oh,
2:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, when you go through the process, they definitely tell you what the schedule is.
2:10
[SPEAKER_03]: And as a growman with bills, I'm like, how?
2:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, how do you survive?
2:18
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, because it's basically six days a week, Julia was at least, so it's, you know, basically nine to five plus rehearsal afterwards.
2:26
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you still have classes and things to do on Saturday.
2:29
[SPEAKER_03]: And I guess you could take out a loan to just like, survive maybe not force you because it's free, but you could take out one to just survive.
2:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
2:37
[SPEAKER_02]: And some of them bills you cut.
2:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, no Netflix.
2:40
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, no, sublet that place, yeah, sell the car.
2:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, ideally, if you went to a place like Yale, for instance, you know, Yale is pretty good about a, we want people to work and we need people to become like famous.
2:55
[SPEAKER_03]: So like if you're here for two out of the three years, that, you know what I mean?
2:59
[SPEAKER_03]: They're just very like, right.
3:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Cool.
3:02
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, I mean, that was the thing.
3:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, it was a pride thing of like,
3:07
[SPEAKER_03]: What 23 O says it as a as a grow man, which is fine, I guess.
3:12
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all right.
3:12
[SPEAKER_02]: You get on it.
3:13
[SPEAKER_02]: You get on a you get on a season rolls.
3:15
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, if I didn't know, if I didn't know, if I didn't know across like if I if I didn't get it and you're like, oh, you have a struggle to know, I think I would feel like literally.
3:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
3:25
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, this guy kinglier or not you.
3:27
[SPEAKER_04]: Sorry.
3:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
3:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Could you imagine.
3:29
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I think if I would cry.
3:32
[SPEAKER_04]: You're one student.
3:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Would you ever go back?
3:36
[SPEAKER_04]: The college?
3:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
3:37
[SPEAKER_04]: Not me.
3:38
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's not you.
3:39
[SPEAKER_04]: I could see myself taking like some directing classes.
3:43

3:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I've thought about directing.
3:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

6:44
[SPEAKER_04]: That was, you know, if I wanted to, I could say that, I, I mean, I never, I never did it because I was at NYU, you know, and I was that, they would have been like, where are you from?
6:53
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'd have been like, I don't know what anything about this.
6:56
[SPEAKER_04]: I went to a college that did they not have friends?
6:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Did they have like, I'm like, yeah, they have friends.
7:01
[SPEAKER_04]: They're cute and stuff.

7:08
[SPEAKER_04]: You and I mean, yeah.
7:09
[SPEAKER_04]: And they definitely weren't that popular.
7:11
[SPEAKER_04]: It's, it, I don't know nothing about the fraternity community.
7:14
[SPEAKER_04]: And we've talked about this because we reviewed a few films about fraternity before, but we haven't reviewed the art, which is crazy.
7:21
[SPEAKER_04]: Anyway, my name's Jonathan Braela.
7:23
[SPEAKER_03]: This voice of a brother who in high school was a part of a step team, not for too long, but for a little bit, I actually want it to go to a HBCU solely because I didn't want to go to college, but I was like, I'm going to go I wanted to go to a HBCU solely to be on a step team or a dream major that was so cool and I'm going to a white school because they gave me more money and
7:45
[SPEAKER_03]: I still think steps team are so cool.
7:48
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what like adult step teams like outside of France.
7:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Like why can't we just have like our own probably are?
7:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Huh?
7:57
[SPEAKER_03]: You probably could find one.
7:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Could I, could I join like a dance team, but the dance team is a step to really?
8:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh no.
8:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's see.
8:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I would like to, anyway, this voice is now to draw a million.

8:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I think something happened with him.
8:43
[SPEAKER_03]: He was like popping at one point.
8:44
[SPEAKER_03]: He was like on scandal.
8:46
[SPEAKER_04]: And then I think he was in the movie The Losers.
8:51
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I think he does.
8:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me look up.
8:54
[SPEAKER_03]: I think so.
8:54
[SPEAKER_04]: I think he's in the first.
8:56
[SPEAKER_04]: Black death at a funeral.
8:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Wait, why are you saying like that?
9:00
[SPEAKER_04]: Because that's what it was.
9:03
[SPEAKER_03]: He's not so sad.
9:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, the thing about him.
9:05
[SPEAKER_03]: He just remade death of a funeral with a black ass.
9:09
[SPEAKER_03]: He was very, he was a choreographer as well.
9:12
[SPEAKER_03]: So he came from a dance background.
9:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the rest of violence 2014.
9:18
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what he is.
9:19
[SPEAKER_04]: He was in a mad movies, like he was in small parts, but wait, he was, he was in, you got served just as a dancer though.
9:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that makes sense.
9:27
[SPEAKER_03]: And the thing is, he was working it up until then, like he, I never watched scandal, but he was a lead on scandal.
9:33
[SPEAKER_04]: So like you know, yes, he was also in the movie accepted and his.
9:40
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I remember that movie and yes, yes, I remember him in that that movie.
9:45
[SPEAKER_03]: I wanted to honestly, I remember when that came out and I mean, I don't have a rep or anything, but I remember hearing about that movie and oh my God, it's so embarrassing.
9:57
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember I found like the cast and director or something like that and I just started like sitting e-mails hoping to like getting all this I've done that twice in my life.
10:05
[SPEAKER_02]: That's embarrassing to you.
10:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean only because it was like I kept I did it a lot and my you know It is is like you know your parents like hey, you want to make movies.
10:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Why don't you just want you just call around a cool girl or something like that at the time I was like this so many crazy stories.
10:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me trap.
10:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe someone will read my email or my letter Never try to get in the fat Albert
10:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I emailed I contacted every single person that I found online that was connected with the movie every single person The close story response I got was a was a letter from Bill Cosby's assistant.
10:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, but you got like a, but you got something.
10:43
[SPEAKER_02]: No way a written letter A written a written letter from Bill Cosby's assistant still having somewhere
10:50
[SPEAKER_03]: That's kind of cool man.
10:51
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm always, I feel like I, I don't know.
10:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like sometimes you try and like, I don't know.
10:56
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, sometimes you hear really cool things about cast directors who just like, like a person, they could like me.
11:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
11:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
11:02

[SPEAKER_04]: you don't remember people from their earlier works and then when you go back and you watch you're like, wait a minute, they were in the house forever.
11:26
[SPEAKER_03]: I think isn't the last, um, I think he was in, if I'm not mistaken, he's in Avatar, one of the two.
11:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Yo.
11:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's in the first Avatar because remember the first Avatar?

11:44
[SPEAKER_03]: like every last day.
11:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Hold on, wait a minute, it was certainly done on purpose.
11:49
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you think?
11:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought we just did that like, there's no way you accidentally do that.
11:53
[SPEAKER_02]: It was in an accident.
11:54
[SPEAKER_03]: These choices are two and you're right.
11:56
[SPEAKER_03]: He was too hyper scrutinized for that to be.
11:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I was obsessed with the first appetite.
12:01
[SPEAKER_02]: And apparently Columbus, last and Chris Brown, they were all in this Christmas together, which I also don't remember.
12:09
[SPEAKER_02]: It's Christmas.

[SPEAKER_04]: Shut your, shut your white butt up.
14:32
[SPEAKER_04]: I was saying, we saved the last dance dance dance dance.
14:33
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, no, no.
14:38
[SPEAKER_03]: spirit fingers.
14:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, fucking, uh, fucking.
14:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Bring it on.
14:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Bring it on.
14:45
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I said to Kat.
14:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Because Kat in the beginning of the movie, she was like, well, how are we, how are we, how is this a movie?
14:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Because it is just dancing.
14:53
[SPEAKER_02]: She like, did you know what the rest of it was going to be?
14:56
[SPEAKER_02]: But it opens with just dancing.
14:57
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't know who anyone is like you recognize Chris Brown.
15:01
[SPEAKER_02]: and potentially recognize Columbia short at this time.
15:04
[SPEAKER_02]: So you know you're like, well, I'm on their side, but you don't know what's happening for a good eight minutes or something.
15:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, yeah, just know they're dicks.
15:14
[SPEAKER_02]: It's true.
15:15
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like,
15:17
[SPEAKER_04]: We don't quite understand the stakes.
15:18
[SPEAKER_04]: We know there's money involved, but then the other people are so hardcore and they're just like, and they're like, yeah, yeah, you're like, what's going on?
15:27
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, is this a dance?
15:28
[SPEAKER_04]: Is there something else underlining this dance?
15:31
[SPEAKER_04]: Competition, like it feels like,
15:33
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, they're mad at each other in a way that doesn't quite make sense.
15:36
[SPEAKER_04]: And even before when like Chris Brown is like warding him that they shouldn't dance again, he's like, they don't like to be cheated.
15:43
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, are you cheating them?
15:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, what?
15:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, what are you talking about?
15:47
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, you just, they bet money and they lost.
15:50
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, what's going on?
15:52
[SPEAKER_04]: And somehow that results in these people feeling like they had the right to.
15:57
[SPEAKER_04]: jump them and kill them.
16:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Which is insane.
16:01
[SPEAKER_03]: I was supposed to, that's actually not true.
16:02
[SPEAKER_03]: I will say it's not probably to, if you give me a vibe of I said this story before.
16:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember, I, um, friend of the podcast, she care a person, kill me.
16:12
[SPEAKER_03]: But, um, I remember, uh, when I went to a party in Baltimore, and I was, you know, if we were better say this again, um, but it was people dancing.
16:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I felt like growing up people used to practice dance.
16:21
[SPEAKER_03]: I was definitely a dude practicing dances in my basement,
16:27
[SPEAKER_03]: This dude got served basically.
16:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Like they were dancing in this little dark-skinned black dude.
16:35
[SPEAKER_03]: He got, he was also dance battle.
16:38
[SPEAKER_03]: And they was like a very pretty woman who went with the dude who won.
16:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what the scenario was.
16:44
[SPEAKER_03]: And I remember the little dude was looking at the other guy like the whole night.
16:48
[SPEAKER_03]: He walks outside, comes back inside.
16:50
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, I think it might be time for me to go.
16:52
[SPEAKER_03]: And his little dude and his friends walks up and just started jumping this dude who got the girl.
16:56
[SPEAKER_03]: whoa like I'm talking about like I'm talking about like across the party you like you just watched him he was simmering the whole night he walks outside comes back in like chills and you see him walk across the party friends in tow and just start jumping this dude
17:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it is wild and it does make it I find it humorous how like this and like like wrap the battles Can like if they don't go the way Yeah, the other person wants it to go can end and fist and and just throw in hands and it's like why Why is it going at that point?
17:36
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm questioning all this and I realize that basketball games It's the sits exactly
17:42
[SPEAKER_03]: people else get into fights and I'm sure people have gotten jumped and killed in basketball game.
17:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, it's not it's just a manner crazy as what it is.
17:53
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's kind of the bottom line of that story.
17:59
[SPEAKER_04]: Initial thoughts.
18:00
[SPEAKER_04]: We forgot to do that.
18:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, oh, go.
18:03
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what it is.
18:04
[SPEAKER_03]: I
18:05
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I remember this movie, when I watched it again, it wasn't like it wasn't a fond memory.
18:10
[SPEAKER_03]: It was just like, oh, this was the time, you know, like, certainly a time.
18:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, which is the time?
18:15
[SPEAKER_03]: And it wasn't a disliked it or anything.
18:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Megan, good.
18:19
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember having listen.
18:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Listen.
18:23
[SPEAKER_04]: This man's looking away from camera.
18:26
[SPEAKER_04]: just for the for the listener at home.
18:29
[SPEAKER_04]: He just earned it.
18:30
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm doing it for me, right?
18:31
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm doing it for you.
18:32
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm doing it for you.
18:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Megan Goodt has been almost my crush throughout my entire life.
18:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.
18:39
[SPEAKER_03]: From Cousin, skater.
18:40
[SPEAKER_03]: Cousin, skater.
18:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Come on, break.
18:42
[SPEAKER_03]: Come on, break.
18:45
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't do it.
18:49
[SPEAKER_02]: She's still with Jonathan majors.
18:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they married.
18:52
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't even take that.
18:53
[SPEAKER_02]: They got married.
18:54
[SPEAKER_03]: They got married, bro.
18:55
[SPEAKER_02]: How does that happen?
18:56
[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't know each other before the shanigans.
19:00
[SPEAKER_03]: And this happened.
19:02
[SPEAKER_03]: But we'll say, I thought the movie was fine.
19:04
[SPEAKER_03]: It realizes not one of my favorites.
19:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought, like, if I had to do top three.
19:10
[SPEAKER_03]: It will be drum line, oh, no, that's not true.
19:13
[SPEAKER_03]: It'll be drum line, didn't this, then you got, then you got served, I think.
19:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Wait.
19:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you're like, it's my favorite.
19:21
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a number two out of all three.
19:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Out of the three, I can think of it from around this time period.
19:25
[SPEAKER_03]: I know those three, I know, two.
19:27
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
19:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't remember how you got served.
19:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Go.
19:31
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're not putting it like that.
19:32
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember afraid.
19:33
[SPEAKER_04]: Cause that's not what.
19:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no, so this is my thing.
19:37
[SPEAKER_03]: I was in college near the school day film step up.
19:41
[SPEAKER_03]: And like a lot of people in my class, my acting class had bit parks in the movie.
19:46
[SPEAKER_03]: And none of them were black and I was like, but this is in the black hip hop movie.
19:51
[SPEAKER_03]: My friend David came back and goes, the leads aren't black and he's like, he was like, um, uh, the one to flee, the woke white boy at the time.
19:59
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, wow, who knew the Baltimore School of the Arts doing hip hop and nobody is black as a lead.
20:06
[SPEAKER_03]: So no, that does not give you the black people in it.
20:08
[SPEAKER_04]: They just weren't the leads.
20:10
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, very true.
20:12
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, that's it.
20:12
[SPEAKER_03]: It was good.
20:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I don't know.
20:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Fine.
20:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
20:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, I had some issues with it.
20:22
[SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like I was like, I feel like I was whatever with it in 2007.
20:29
[SPEAKER_02]: But watch it now, I was just like, I was like mad at the camera work or the editing maybe.
20:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I was just like, why aren't we seeing the dancing for most of this, like I understand you?
20:38
[SPEAKER_04]: You want it, especially.
20:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, the beginning, the first couple dances, it's just like we don't really see anybody complete a move or anything and it's just like this is a dance, you know, like I want to see them dancing, you could just do a wide and I would probably be, you know, extremely impressed if that's all that what you know, and I thought that by the end of the movie is particularly there last.
21:03
[SPEAKER_02]: thing was like I was like oh I've only we had seen more like this like more you know we don't we don't cut too quickly and I don't know if that's the I don't know if this director comes from music videos and if this is the music video of it all or whatever but I found myself I found myself not tracking what I was supposed to track
21:24
[SPEAKER_02]: in terms of dance progression, like who is better than who and like, like, why do they think that they're not good yet and blah, blah, blah, like I don't feel like I actually tracked that visually.
21:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I just got it from what they were telling me.
21:38
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that that has a lot to do with, you know, like a lot of the way that it was cut.
21:43
[SPEAKER_02]: And just in general, it felt like there was a lot
21:53
[SPEAKER_02]: respect the musical theater of it all, where it's like, no, some of it's going to be told through dancing, you know, or like, through what happens in a, in a, in a back and forth.
22:04
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you, you're cutting this quick, and I'm not getting it, then, then you may be needed it to be presented in a slightly different way, I think.
22:15
[SPEAKER_02]: I forgot that Chris Brown got got immediately in the in the movie so then when it happened I was like dang and He gets the and introducing and introducing Don't do that to that man first with you, right?
22:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was and you know he definitely was a selling point.
22:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, 100% 100% that's probably why that opening goes on for so long because you were like we need to make sure people know that he's in this movie
22:40
[SPEAKER_02]: And I, yeah, and I, and I, I, I, we kind of talked about this before I don't know if this was recorded or if it was off my, I kind of appreciate what they what they kind of gently tap on with the brother Lee, the like the connection amongst men and blah, blah, blah, like I, I, I generally appreciated that and thought that like it could pop that could also probably be explored more through, you know, through scenes outside of dancing or whatever.
23:11
[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, but that, I mean, yeah, I said it, yeah, yeah, I remember liking this movie when it came out, my sister, you know, ballerina, so she did a lot of dance, so I feel like we saw the dance movies, and this was,
23:31
[SPEAKER_04]: another one that I was like oh yeah then I didn't really know that much about step so I was like learning about that which was cool but the thing that I really didn't understand or the thing that I felt like
23:45
[SPEAKER_04]: This is nothing against Columbus short, but I like he doesn't For me like isn't like it doesn't pop as a lead that.
23:52
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like that's one of the reasons why at the time I kind of felt like it was a movie that I remembered but not necessarily movie or a movie I saw and like liked but didn't necessarily remember that much of and then when I was watching it again I was like oh yeah this I was like oh yeah Chris Brown and I forgot he was in this and then I was like oh man He must die because I don't really remember him being in this movie
24:12
[SPEAKER_04]: And then, of course, he does.
24:14
[SPEAKER_04]: And then I was kind of like, you know, the relationship between those two brothers was actually the thing that was it was so engaging in the beginning of the film and then it's just over.
24:26
[SPEAKER_04]: And you're kind of like, and then like.
24:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it his uncle, or who is Harry to him?
24:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's uncle.
24:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I assume it, yeah, that family in that way.
24:49
[SPEAKER_04]: And so there's like a little bit of that, like father figure kind of storyline, but that's kind of small.
24:55
[SPEAKER_04]: And then you have stuff with like, he has like, it feels like he had so many enemies in a way, quickly too.
25:03
[SPEAKER_04]: And then he has friends, but like he doesn't really know them that well, and so like, it's kind of weird,
25:10
[SPEAKER_04]: His character is somewhat isolated in a way that's not necessarily fun for the audience to track.
25:19
[SPEAKER_04]: Anyway, I'm like just, and I didn't really think about this this much when I first saw it, but obviously this time, like, you know, 19 years we moved.
25:28
[SPEAKER_04]: That was the thing that I was thinking about the most.
25:30
[SPEAKER_04]: That said, the dances are really cool.
25:33
[SPEAKER_04]: The dances are really cool.
25:34
[SPEAKER_03]: People start doing that dance again.
25:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's like coming in.
25:38
[SPEAKER_04]: It's great songs in there and so like that's and a lot of times to vote to that.
25:42
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like the movie could have been a little bit shorter.
25:44
[SPEAKER_04]: It's actually weirdly as it runs a little long, I think.
25:47
[SPEAKER_04]: I know what I'm gonna say now, but still.
25:50
[SPEAKER_03]: At the end, he's not stepping like,
25:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Like he like he's not stepping.
25:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
25:58
[SPEAKER_02]: But is that because, but that's because it's sort of the structure of that last dance is like it starts stepping and then develops to the street, you know, pop lock thing.
26:12
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's not step.
26:13
[SPEAKER_03]: He shouldn't have won, but literally he should have won.
26:17
[SPEAKER_04]: Part of the movie is then being like, we have to evolve.
26:21
[SPEAKER_04]: And part of me was like, it felt more like a studio note being like, hey, I know this whole film is about step, but ultimately nobody wants to see that.
26:30
[SPEAKER_04]: So let's just make sure.
26:33
[SPEAKER_04]: This makes sure we just slowly fade out of that and go to the thing that people want us to see, which is,
26:39
[SPEAKER_04]: just hip hop break dancing.
26:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I was like, this is just a dance movie now.
26:44
[SPEAKER_03]: Like if anything, I would have tried to incorporate, but I guess that, I guess to your point is, I was going to have wished they incorporated more step into that dance, but I guess that's what they were doing.
26:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, you mean that you mean the battle, the back and forth battle or that big number.
27:01
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean the battle, baby Well, if you bought to give me all this Because isn't this what we like a lot of the society learn what crumping was Hmm, yeah, but people at home can't see period for some killing it right now.
27:13
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm killing it
27:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Kill it out here.
27:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Tell him to record video for just this race guy.
27:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Tell him people.
27:22
[SPEAKER_03]: I was just killing it Yeah, if I were to best describe it.
27:31
[SPEAKER_02]: He's doing SpongeBob bringing it around No, no, no, he knows what's wrong.
27:37
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm freaking Scalice on
27:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, anyway, all right, let's get into it as we discuss the beginning of this movie.
27:58
[SPEAKER_04]: Obviously starts with a big old dance battle.
28:03
[SPEAKER_04]: alum this and brother laid by Chris Brown, they have their own crew.
28:11
[SPEAKER_04]: One of the things that was so hard about this beginning what it was cool, but like because of the camera movement and everything and because like you're literally being introduced to all these people the first time, there were times where I was like, who's on what team?
28:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I get that.
28:23
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like, I don't know, like they would do any things and I was like, wait, was that their team or the other team?
28:29
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
28:33
[SPEAKER_04]: But they, uh, anyway, they win, then they double down and they win again, and they make some money before they double down, you know, Columbus is like, I want this and Chris Brown's like, that's your problem.
28:45
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just about you.
28:46
[SPEAKER_04]: What about us?
28:48
[SPEAKER_04]: not just about you, which would have happened if they if they didn't double down like would they they get to walk away, baby, you ain't got to but they walk away with their own money, but but no, they they already won money from that guy.
29:02
[SPEAKER_04]: That's my thing is like he already, it's like he just lost even more money, but would he was he like, okay, now like there's a certain amount of money I can lose where I won't shoot somebody, but I have passed that threshold.
29:14
[SPEAKER_04]: Like I lost you know this was a shooting amount of money that I lost.
29:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because it does feel, if that's what it is, if it's that they already won some money and then Columbus was just like, I wanna win more and you dancing in my face like that, I'ma be, I'ma be best off.
29:30
[SPEAKER_04]: I'ma be best at you.
29:31
[SPEAKER_02]: You're just gonna do it again?
29:33
[SPEAKER_03]: How dare you?
29:34
[SPEAKER_03]: How dare you?
29:35
[SPEAKER_03]: But you also, you know what it is?
29:36
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's like, yeah, I think it's just respect because like anybody just beat me, talk shit about it and keep it moving.
29:41
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what I'm saying?
29:41
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, you got to go.
29:43
[SPEAKER_03]: But you got to go.
29:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I got it.
29:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you also, this is not funny and I'm pretty sure to just happen, I'm not trying to make it joke out of it.
29:52
[SPEAKER_03]: But when you see these movies, if there's like, you know, a butt of ram or something, it's like someone's getting shot over like a basketball game with a bunch of money on it.
29:59
[SPEAKER_03]: This movie Chris Brown got shot because he popped a lock too hard.
30:04
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what I was saying?
30:05
[SPEAKER_03]: He was too nasty with the side move up.
30:08
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what I mean?
30:09
[SPEAKER_03]: He was like, yeah, that's kinda the criminal.
30:11
[SPEAKER_04]: But the thing is like, what they have?
30:14
[SPEAKER_04]: shot him if he just like was getting beat up and then saw his brother get beat up and try to stop him, but if he just was like, and she's just ran away.
30:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Isn't I?
30:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, yeah, what would have, would they have continued?
30:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Would they have continued to pursue them?
30:29
[SPEAKER_02]: That I don't know.
30:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I also don't know why, because wasn't it Columbus?
30:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Who was doing most of the, or was Chris?
30:35
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess was kind of doing some other, I mean, Chris was the
30:43
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
30:44
[SPEAKER_04]: So then we flash forward.
30:46
[SPEAKER_04]: He's now down because when they start it, I should pull this up.
30:51
[SPEAKER_04]: Where were they?
30:52
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I have the wiki up.
30:54
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, where?
30:55
[SPEAKER_03]: So I know he moved, I just didn't.
30:58
[SPEAKER_03]: He was in the inner city of Los Angeles.
31:00
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, he was in LA.
31:01
[SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
31:02
[SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
31:02
[SPEAKER_04]: And the inner city.
31:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
31:04
[SPEAKER_03]: And just so you know, and just so you know, case, you want to get the names right.
31:08
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
31:08
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh-huh.
31:09
[SPEAKER_03]: His team was called the Goon squad.
31:12
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
31:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
31:14
[SPEAKER_03]: And the leader of the rival crew, which is called the thug unit.
31:19
[SPEAKER_03]: In case anybody wanted to know, those dance crews were they were the Goon squad and the thug unit.
31:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Again, it.
31:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
31:29
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's sick.
31:31
[SPEAKER_03]: to his aunt and uncle in Atlanta.
31:33
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it was down to the ATL.
31:37
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's at a HBCU kind of, or he's a fake one.
31:43
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a fake one.
31:43
[SPEAKER_04]: I know it was a fake one, but it was supposed to be like that kind of school.
31:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it was supposed to be like Clark or some chef.
31:49
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna tell you this.
31:50
[SPEAKER_03]: If I get sent down there, all right, it making good as the person that I see, I'm not gonna, I'm gonna do what he did.
31:56
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm doing everything he did.
31:57
[SPEAKER_03]: You're getting out of line?
31:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
32:00
[SPEAKER_02]: The way he stalked her was.
32:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Whoa.
32:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Whoa.
32:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Whoa.
32:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Whoa.
32:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Look.
32:06
[SPEAKER_04]: I look.
32:07
[SPEAKER_04]: I know that this is just he did.
32:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I know all he did was like, think she was attractive.
32:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And so then wanted to get to her to talk to her.
32:15
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, he does not go farther than that.
32:17
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's it's not like it doesn't dip at the stalkery territory.
32:22
[SPEAKER_02]: But I was mad at how close it was like, and how
32:25
[SPEAKER_02]: And how it was almost there.
32:27
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it would have been that if she had just, at one point said, hey, I mean, she does literally say, or she doesn't like me.
32:35
[SPEAKER_03]: She does.
32:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
32:38
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
32:38
[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, she sees her, you know, he's like, wow, the one attractive woman in this whole college, I got her.
32:47
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, listen, you like it, I've never been good.
32:50
[SPEAKER_03]: That was making good.
32:52
[SPEAKER_02]: That was making good.
32:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Listen, look, look now.
32:56
[SPEAKER_04]: I love he, he then tries to cut back in line in a woman, literally shoves it.
33:06
[SPEAKER_04]: He just has to be like, oh, and then for whatever reason when he's trying to chase down her, make it good again, he runs through this and tight, like this, there's a part of me that was like,
33:17
[SPEAKER_04]: This, they, they have a right to jump you right here.
33:20
[SPEAKER_04]: Cause what are you doing?
33:21
[SPEAKER_04]: Cause you know, everybody's, everybody's here in this court.

34:25
[SPEAKER_02]: in my understanding of of of of being in a fraternity space, and I was not supposed to.
34:32
[SPEAKER_02]: They had their aggressive in a way that is like, I need my brothers to know that I bleed this and forget everybody else or whatever.
34:46
[SPEAKER_04]: The fictional university was called truth university.

36:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I was so mad.
36:41
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't have any.
36:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like this guy.
36:42
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't have a dog.
36:45
[SPEAKER_02]: There's nothing here, you had a attraction.
36:49
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
36:49
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not even like you guys had a moment.
36:51
[SPEAKER_04]: You saw her and you thought she was fine.
36:54
[SPEAKER_04]: Then you tried to talk to her and immediately, the moment you tried to talk to her, her boyfriend comes up, and then you look at him like, what's you doing here?
37:02
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's like, what?
37:04
[SPEAKER_04]: That's real.
37:05
[SPEAKER_04]: That's been here.
37:07
[SPEAKER_03]: like I've been here but you know what he wasn't a good guy so then he wasn't a good guy the movie they get us they're like see but he's been here he knew he wasn't a good guy are you looking at him dance move where I had to rewatch some of the dances right now she said if you keep if you keep looking this fine then you won't have anything to worry about who stop it can you imagine saying that yeah that was
37:32
[SPEAKER_02]: That's, it was gross immediately.
37:34
[SPEAKER_02]: So that'd be gross immediately.
37:36
[SPEAKER_04]: I see it sometimes.
37:37
[SPEAKER_04]: I watch movies and I watch what people say to women.
37:40
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just like, who does?
37:42
[SPEAKER_04]: I know people do that by the way.
37:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, I know that's a real mess.
37:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Just like, where do you get the goal to do something?
37:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, my thing too when I watch stuff like that, where it's like,
37:52
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I would like to see one of these movies where the boyfriend isn't boring or like a dick and he's like actually a good boyfriend and then you we get to see like all right, who is the asshole right now, right?
38:05
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, like, who is it?
38:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
38:19
[SPEAKER_03]: You're the asshole in this one way, you know?
38:22
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm rewatchin' dance moves.
38:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Ooh, like, come on, baby.
38:24
[SPEAKER_03]: Make it you a little snake move, come on.
38:28
[SPEAKER_02]: But apparently they sucked, apparently.
38:31
[SPEAKER_02]: But apparently they had, like they had a clear thing that they were doing.
38:36
[SPEAKER_02]: And I guess that's their way of letting us know how bad they are.
38:39
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like they don't give up the snake, but they don't give up the snake the whole time.
38:45
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like a part of that tradition
38:49
[SPEAKER_02]: in the final dance.
38:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Can I miss them?
38:52
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I try to date a dance or what's.
38:55
[SPEAKER_04]: But I feel like you've definitely did it more than one day answer.
38:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, we're actually self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-relection self-re
39:22
[SPEAKER_03]: forever ago.
39:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, they we went to the club and they always have like dance battles.
39:27
[SPEAKER_03]: And I felt like I won't quit club.
39:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I'mma tell y'all something right now.
39:30
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a club like a full I'm talking about people having the most fun and all of a sudden it like one in the morning the DJ had come up.
39:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Man, man, man, man, and then make you get off the dance floor and then fucking background back up dancers will come out and just start doing their thing.
39:47
[SPEAKER_03]: And now remember
39:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Like the the woman I was in was like battling like a dude right and I'm looking at this nigger and I'm like, is this This is a me Call like this is this is a main call like
40:02
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not like I couldn't tell because you got super close and I realized I don't have the skills To defend her day is honor right now.
40:12
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what I'm saying?
40:12
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't have the skill to like come in here It's due like Everybody go like oh So
40:22
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the thing is like, we're not dancers can dance with each other and not feel sexual attraction for each other.
40:28
[SPEAKER_02]: But at the same time, that's 100% what was happening to James Lewis.
40:32
[SPEAKER_02]: It was he broke.
40:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, 130 a.m.
40:34
[SPEAKER_02]: So because it was like 100% what was happening?
40:36
[SPEAKER_03]: It was like, he did like this little move and everybody was like, little fucker.
40:43
[SPEAKER_03]: That's how new it was over.
40:44
[SPEAKER_03]: The moment a club went, you just left.
40:52
[SPEAKER_03]: walking down Hollywood Boulevard in shame.
40:55
[SPEAKER_03]: We didn't say about this movie.
40:56
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's just go on the freaking dance in baby.
40:59
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll be talking.
41:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, wait, so y'all, I agree that the dancing was great.
41:04
[SPEAKER_02]: But I, again, was lost for most of it in terms of like tracking what was going on, you know what I'm saying?
41:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Where y'all like?
41:12
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a lot of cool.
41:13
[SPEAKER_02]: We're y'all fully like, could y'all tell that, that they the new theta,
41:18
[SPEAKER_02]: was getting, was getting, was getting, was getting, walked by, but I moved him with.
41:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Signed like, good job, tell.
41:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they sent it.
41:25
[SPEAKER_04]: A couple of times.
41:26
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you talk about the end?
41:27
[SPEAKER_04]: Are you guys skipping all the way to the end?
41:28
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, I'm talking about, I'm talking about, from this point in the movie that we're at, that we're at.
41:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, well, it was your tell that they were better.
41:34
[SPEAKER_04]: It was confusing because like, the way that the movie started, because he interacts with, wait, which was the first, the first group we see is data.
41:47
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
41:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, on the on the stand up on the stage type there.
41:50
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, no move comes in and they're like, oh, we need to be Like we're not as good.
42:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Right?
42:02
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, basically.
42:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought, okay, I thought theta was not as good.
42:06
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought, I thought theta was not as good and they haven't, cause didn't need to, doesn't he say when they try to get him?
42:12
[SPEAKER_02]: When they try to get Columbus, he's like y'all been losing and y'all think I'm gonna bring you.
42:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Does he say that to them?
42:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
42:20
[SPEAKER_04]: He said, okay, wait, this is the thing that I missed because doesn't he, isn't he first recruited by one and then he joins the other, he is first recruited by the, the, the, the, the move gamassai, he's first recruited by them and read is move gamassai, yes, okay.
42:39
[SPEAKER_02]: right.
42:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because they're new theta is TNT and they talk about that at the end.
42:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
42:44
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I remember most of in terms of their names is at the end when they when they're like we're TNT and the TNT actually comes out and it explodes.
42:53
[SPEAKER_02]: best them.
42:53
[SPEAKER_04]: I couldn't tell at the beginning it was hard for me to tell which one of these teams was the underdog and which one wasn't like I initially thought that Moo Gamma thigh was the underdog because of the way that he interacts with them.
43:09
[SPEAKER_04]: And then all of a sudden it's like, oh no, the other people are like he yeah.
43:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
43:18
[SPEAKER_04]: That was confusing.
43:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I genuinely just didn't track it and then, and when they try to win, when Moo tries to recruit Columbus, they're like, hey, we're impressed by you blah, blah, blah, like the homies are doing your work for you blah, blah, blah, and I'm like, am I supposed to think that they're assholes?
43:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Cause I know I don't like Darren, but I don't.
43:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't have any opinion.
43:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't have any opinion.
43:40
[SPEAKER_02]: No other way about about move.
43:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't have an opinion about that, you know?
43:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't.
43:46
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think we're supposed to think that they're jerks or something.
43:48
[SPEAKER_02]: They're all jerks.
43:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
43:51
[SPEAKER_03]: They're just trying to win the same company.
43:53
[SPEAKER_04]: They went, they went and recruited him.
43:55
[SPEAKER_04]: They were like, hey, we heard you were good and to show you that we like.
44:00
[SPEAKER_04]: There's no bad blood.
44:02
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm making this guy apologize to you and yeah, yeah, and we're going to do your work for you and then he's just like F you and you're like, okay.
44:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he insults them to their face.
44:12
[SPEAKER_02]: He insults them to their face for no reason for no reason.
44:15
[SPEAKER_03]: No Lazzalanzo, you don't know him.
44:17
[SPEAKER_03]: We're following the wrong person.
44:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, that's what this movie said.
44:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I don't know.
44:31
[SPEAKER_03]: And also, give me more dance.
44:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd say it is watching a young Neo with a hairline, T, man.
44:39
[SPEAKER_03]: What a time.
44:40
[SPEAKER_02]: What a time.
44:41
[SPEAKER_02]: You did, you did not have to talk about my man.
44:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Say that, I did that to do it.
44:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I did appreciate that they did eventually have Neo dancing because I was like, if we don't see Neo dance, go and cast him.
44:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, not only should he have dance, but I'm like, you know, they should have figured out a way to work his singing and that thing.
44:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Come on, now you got Neo.
45:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
45:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Did he have a song for this movie?
45:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me see.
45:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Neal's not the art.
45:04
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he did.
45:05
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he did.
45:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I was just looking up the soundtrack.
45:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, sign me up.
45:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Sign me up.
45:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
45:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.
45:13
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not one of the, it does not have a wiki.
45:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the only ones that have a wiki are Chris Brown's poppin' which I played and didn't remember, but they walk it out and pop-lock the job.
45:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Pop-in!
45:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Those are the only ones.
45:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you remember pop it.
45:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, come on, bro, listen.
45:30
[SPEAKER_04]: Wait, one other, there's another song that they that they played at the end.
45:33
[SPEAKER_04]: That was super popular.
45:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Man, yeah, remember these days, you can get away with going to the club.
45:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Looking like he was going out for a job in a few jeans, a blazer, maybe a t-shirt.
45:47
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what I'm saying?
45:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe a hat or a vest?
45:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Ooh.
45:52
[SPEAKER_03]: These were good days.
45:55
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, Pippo.
45:56
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no, it's not Pippo.
45:57
[SPEAKER_04]: It was the in-game twins.
45:59
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's, that's shaking in terms of Pippo.
46:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't remember that.
46:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.
46:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, wait.
46:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that one.
46:10
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's not have a wiki.
46:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's a song.
46:13
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a song.
46:14
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a song.
46:15
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't
46:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they were playing that a little bit.
46:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that was the data did that.
46:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd say it is right now.
46:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I need to find the people who will consider it.
46:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, listen, they, I mean, he'd be out here.
46:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's see.
46:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Come on, man.
46:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Put the three off.
46:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Wait, dude.
46:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
46:54
[SPEAKER_03]: Sorry, sorry.
46:55
[SPEAKER_03]: I got distracted.
46:56
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
46:58
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
46:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
46:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I have to say this though.
47:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because we're jumping around.
47:01
[SPEAKER_02]: But I hated that they went to that whatever that club or spot was that they went to have food and listen like a little bit of jazz or whatever.
47:10
[SPEAKER_02]: And they just have to dance in and kiss in and or almost kiss in.
47:14
[SPEAKER_04]: No, they did kiss.
47:15
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't remember if they kissed or almost kiss.
47:17
[SPEAKER_04]: They kissed.
47:17
[SPEAKER_04]: And then she was like, I can't do this.
47:20
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like, I mean, I know they were at it.
47:22
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a montage of them doing it.
47:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, what's going on?
47:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because I know we were at like a school, we were at like a school, hang out spot the night before, but, but.
47:36
[SPEAKER_02]: There are a bunch of people saw him dance and then he got recruited by people that weren't even there, right?
47:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, a bunch of people saw him dance, got recruited by people weren't even there.
47:45
[SPEAKER_02]: So people are seeing stuff and y'all out here kissing on the dance, on the dance floor.
47:50
[SPEAKER_04]: The thing that I didn't understand is like she says I can't do this, but then there's like a montage of them like dating and stuff.
47:56
[SPEAKER_04]: And then I literally was like, so did she break up with this other guy?
47:59
[SPEAKER_04]: And then I think she maybe had it because then all of a sudden they're having dinner together and he's proposing to her bro.
48:06
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, what the heck is happening?
48:08
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, hey, you know, sometimes a movie isn't about
48:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Storytelling y'all.
48:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Ah, I see.
48:16
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not about making sense.
48:18
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not about tracking what's happening from point A to point P. I see.
48:23
[SPEAKER_03]: I sometimes I don't know movie is about hey How do we get this couple together and add a couple dance moves?
48:31
[SPEAKER_03]: You know I'm saying Brain wins the last time you just walked up to somebody and just started popping and locking Huh, it was the last time
48:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know that.
48:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I have ever done it.
48:44
[SPEAKER_02]: We didn't ask me.
48:45
[SPEAKER_04]: You're talking about the context of a place where everybody else is dancing.
48:49
[SPEAKER_04]: No, it's not like just in the street, bro.
48:50
[SPEAKER_03]: You ever just like walk up and just walk up and just like, uh, hit him with a little pop lap?
48:58
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I sat.
48:59
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel afraid not.
49:00
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't challenge nobody to any kind of
49:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Anything.
49:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Have y'all seen TikTok dances, they're so slow.
49:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, we got to do his little, if Tissie give him a little shoulders, see that, give him a little shoulder rope.
49:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm.
49:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, you say it, come on out, come on out.
49:20
[SPEAKER_02]: One of these dudes in the crew was Justin Heyers, the job, the job peep him, do y'all know Justin Heyers.
49:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Wait, the comedian?
49:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
49:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I think I did.
49:30
[SPEAKER_03]: He was.
49:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
49:32
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember him, I used to be so jealous of him because he got to be on episode of Key and Peel.
49:37
[SPEAKER_03]: And I wanted to do that.
49:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
49:38
[SPEAKER_03]: And he was rush hour.
49:40
[SPEAKER_03]: He was rush hour.
49:42
[SPEAKER_03]: He was the TV show.
49:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
49:43
[SPEAKER_03]: He was the TV show.
49:44
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
49:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
49:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
49:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Man, I got annoyed.
49:48
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's, and the clips of him are like, he was the right pick for sure.
49:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't know if the tone of the show worked out, but like, that was who they should have got.
49:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Did this show ever?
49:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Air?
49:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Did the air?
49:59
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought it did.
50:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I'm not sure.
50:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Cause there are 13 episodes.
50:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, wow.
50:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Rush Hour TV show.
50:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Also so hard to come after Chris Tucker unless you're changing the whole character, you know what I mean?
50:10
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's why I thought he was right for it, cause it wasn't like, he just has such a specific energy and he's big, you know, like it can come across his big.
50:20
[SPEAKER_02]: And so it was like this, this works, you know?
50:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, it's, I mean, it's, it's, TV show-wise, it probably felt a lot like leave the weapon, which lasted for three seasons, but I'm sort of shocked that it did.
50:33
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a lot of, it was kind of crazy.
50:34
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm watching the trailer now, it's tough, cause they did a reboot, like the movie didn't just come out.
50:39
[SPEAKER_03]: and like they're doing the whole like racial thing and his voice, he's not as happy, just Chris talking, but it's definitely like, I'm caught, you know what I'm saying?
50:46
[SPEAKER_03]: This tough, this is a tough, yeah, that's a tough position to be.
50:48
[SPEAKER_03]: You needed somebody who's going to take it dead as sir.
50:50
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know how you do it.
50:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway.
50:52
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and then, um, so then this, this whole other storyline to that his like, uncle, his aunt used to date.
51:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, making good father who's also the dean.
51:04
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, of the school that he comes to.
51:08
[SPEAKER_04]: And so there's whole like storyline of like, oh, these are the rich kids versus the like not so rich.
51:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
51:16
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I didn't even put that part of it together until at the end when the dad is like, you're going to be mowing lawns like your father like whatever was it that he says, I didn't even track that part of the story until that moment.
51:31
[SPEAKER_02]: And maybe it was there before,
51:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Do they feel less man cares to them because you would think that that would have also carried up.
51:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I guess it did.
51:43
[SPEAKER_02]: They kept calling him.
51:45
[SPEAKER_02]: They kept calling him like from the street.
51:46
[SPEAKER_02]: So whatever, like throughout the movie, I guess, in the at the school.
51:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, I don't think you need it.
51:52
[SPEAKER_03]: Like it was like, oh, because the because what
52:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Why do we need his uncle to be the guy working at the school He's broke and like you know what I mean like I guess they were trying to show to you had adversity coming from like all points of the school, maybe Yeah, I don't know Yeah, I don't know I don't know in there so then we have
52:27
[SPEAKER_04]: This other storyline of him not liking the fact that they're doing traditional step and he thinks they need to update it and so he gets like all these people to update it.
52:41
[SPEAKER_04]: Then, of course, the head of the data fraternity is like, A.
52:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like this, you know, I didn't appreciate that because they just all got on board immediately, they just all got on board immediately, and all of them were just out practicing moves, like it wasn't even like they were trying to do it in secret.
53:05
[SPEAKER_02]: They were just out practicing moves dancing in this face, like waiting for him to see it.
53:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if you're going to do it like that, then just tell, just go and talk to them.
53:14
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're doing it like that, like this, it was disrespectful.
53:20
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but then he eventually is like, and I think I didn't quite track this.
53:26
[SPEAKER_04]: I know they, I know the other people tell him like, Come on, I don't know, man.
53:30
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, if you may have a point, but then all of a sudden, he's on board with it.
53:35
[SPEAKER_04]: But then this guy messes up again, because then they're at another competition, and he goes off on his own, and then they're like,
53:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Dude, you gotta be a team player, and he has a lot to get this either, because it was like, we supposed to think that they had a new theta, a shit, right?
53:53
[SPEAKER_02]: We supposed to think that they ain't shit, right?
53:55
[SPEAKER_02]: But then it's like, so, and I actually really appreciate it, Columbus is delivering on like accepting the challenge, because it really seemed like he thought he was good, they were going to be so much better than them.
54:07
[SPEAKER_02]: And according to what the movie had been
54:11
[SPEAKER_02]: And then for whatever reason, nope, nope, they didn't, they didn't, they didn't dance as better, or steps better than them.
54:20
[SPEAKER_02]: And like are they bad or are they not bad?
54:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't get, I don't get what's supposed to, I'm supposed to take from this.
54:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I understand his journey of like him once again going on on his own and blah, blah, blah.
54:35
[SPEAKER_02]: And that being something that he needs to overcome.
54:38
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm not, once again, not tracking the dance through what they're showing me.
54:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, correct.
54:44
[SPEAKER_03]: James, did you, did you, did you, did you not see that when they started the dance?
54:48
[SPEAKER_03]: He didn't have aggressive facial expressions, but then later on in the dance.
54:52
[SPEAKER_02]: He's giving you, like, mugs and like more passionate, like, thrust, huh?
54:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, I did notice that.
55:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I used to practice to know the facial expressions.
55:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Shane, that was a little shuffle for.
55:10
[SPEAKER_03]: I was here for a baby.
55:11
[SPEAKER_03]: That was it.
55:12
[SPEAKER_03]: That was it.
55:14
[SPEAKER_03]: That was it.
55:15
[SPEAKER_03]: I even saw something recently.
55:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, and TikTok about like, Millennials.
55:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh God, where is it?
55:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Millennials are just like doing the dance of Millennials.
55:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, but it was like this, this movie is coming back into like, people just,
55:28
[SPEAKER_03]: doing it.
55:29
[SPEAKER_02]: I liked, I did like this earlier, but I did like in that first scene at that at the club at the school club.
55:37
[SPEAKER_02]: When Columbus goes around and does everybody's moves in their face, it was like this.
55:42
[SPEAKER_02]: This.
55:43
[SPEAKER_02]: feels like they're showing me how his style is different than theirs and it felt like it felt comedically fun, like it felt funny, you know, but it was also like there was it just felt like something was something was missing for it to really work the way that I think they wanted it to.
56:00
[SPEAKER_02]: But I did like it.
56:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you say that like he's making fun of all the different cities, but again, it's we have so little context, like he's dancing
56:09
[SPEAKER_04]: He's like showing up people that we don't know.
56:13
[SPEAKER_04]: And we've never had that.
56:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
56:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Also there, there was a call when you are being unveiled or when the land is crossing.
56:23
[SPEAKER_03]: I just remember, I remember, I just remember, Ty, now I'm just going back in time.
56:27
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember one of my friends was a little hefty.
56:28
[SPEAKER_03]: And so any time he would,
56:32
[SPEAKER_03]: He just was out of the way.
56:32
[SPEAKER_03]: You, pork chop, extra gravy.
56:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he was just doing that dance, not stop.
56:38
[SPEAKER_03]: But he would add a belly rep to it.
56:41
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like, man, I missed stuff like this.
56:42
[SPEAKER_03]: It was just, again, not saying this would be great, but there was something about like, this was showing black culture in a cool way that wasn't like, like it was very black, but it didn't feel like that was just, all it was, you know, was like where, where dealing with black culture, but we're dealing with like a dance, we're dealing with something else like that.
56:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I missed that stuff.
56:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I missed like the drum lines of it all, you know?
57:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, 100%.
57:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Like even now, I like I, you know, tried to watch a different world.
57:09
[SPEAKER_03]: And unfortunately, I feel like I am in a weird millennial age or like adding grew up necessarily with the original, a different world.
57:19
[SPEAKER_03]: So I didn't grow up with that kind of reverence for it.
57:21
[SPEAKER_03]: But I also feel like now I'm at a point where I'm too old for the new one because I don't, you know, I'm too old to relate to that in a way.
57:27
[SPEAKER_03]: But I miss whatever it is for,
57:29
[SPEAKER_03]: an adult like I missed like I want something for like adult white people.
57:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway yeah yeah yeah yeah.
57:40
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, there's one more storyline, which is, yeah, yeah, some getting kicked out of school, which is then being like, then being like, we got to find some dirt on this kid.
57:52
[SPEAKER_04]: And they were like, I, you remember when you asked me to find dirt on him?
57:56
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I found out he was arrested.
57:57
[SPEAKER_04]: He was arrested for a better, which I don't, did we know, did we know that?
58:03
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think we, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
58:33
[SPEAKER_04]: As opposed to that second part explaining the first part, you know what I mean?
58:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
58:40
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's that thing, this feels in line with the like the class classes of us versus them type thing of like the way we spin this story is, you know, if not for him, his brother would be alive as opposed to any other way of, you know, and it was so gross.
59:02
[SPEAKER_02]: So gross to what they lumped it in, yeah, it really was and I, yeah, I guess I appreciate how he, you know, like stood up for the relationship here and I also liked
59:17
[SPEAKER_02]: This is before this, but when she, these are two examples of something similar, I think when she broke up with Darren and the first thing he said he asked was if she was okay as opposed to like jumping to any kind of like great now we're together, blah, blah, blah, whatever, like it was like on these are moments of like we are supposed to know that he's a good kid and I and I just don't know if we got to see a lot of whatever this side of him.
59:44
[SPEAKER_04]: is in other parts of the movie right yeah and then we have of course get the crazy freaking offer from good to bad
59:58
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'll give you a scholarship back and you stop dating my daughter.
1:00:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Bro, I mean, talk about unprofessional.
1:00:06
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, this is at beyond the pale, man.
1:00:09
[SPEAKER_04]: But anyway, and then, you know, then making it's like, oh, why didn't you tell me?
1:00:14
[SPEAKER_04]: You got arrested, which is like, what do you mean?
1:00:16
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't even, like, what do you have?
1:00:18
[SPEAKER_04]: When would, when would that come up, by the way?
1:00:23
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's like, I guess, like, eventually, but like, I don't know.
1:00:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was like this point at this point in the relationship.
1:00:30
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not like, it's not like, it's not like before you started dating.
1:00:33
[SPEAKER_04]: She was like, wait, wait, before we started, like, serious.
1:00:36
[SPEAKER_04]: Have you ever been arrested for assault and battery?
1:00:40
[SPEAKER_04]: And if you have, wasn't it a fight in which your brother was killed?
1:00:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, good times.
1:00:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
1:00:57
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, well, but then then the end happens and then the end and then the end happens and there's a lot of dancing at the end, but I mean, come on, this is one, I'll say one more time, they do it, they do it, they couldn't help, but not.
1:01:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Let us track the dances more closely because it's just a montage of everybody dancing.
1:01:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
1:01:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
1:01:19
[SPEAKER_02]: So we don't really know who's good and who's not and who's we need to and then we see, you know, we see like these are the finalies in order.
1:01:28
[SPEAKER_02]: And then when they finally perform, we finally get like.
1:01:34
[SPEAKER_02]: longer uninterrupted shots, but it's like after an hour and 40 minutes of movie, and I just don't not just don't know whose idea that was.
1:01:43
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the building up.
1:01:44
[SPEAKER_03]: That's basically an action movie but they say even a good fight for the M baby.
1:01:49
[SPEAKER_02]: But there was good dancing throughout the movie that they just didn't show us as fully as they could because they they cut around so much.
1:01:59
[SPEAKER_02]: I
1:02:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I was genuinely like, and I kept trying to say to myself, well, you know, they need to vary it up and blah, blah, blah, and would it have been interesting, you know, to see it all, like this the whole time, but I think if the dancing is good, yes, right?
1:02:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Like if the dancing is good.
1:02:17
[SPEAKER_02]: it would still be interesting you don't they don't all need to look like a rapid fire music video type thing because because what's what is different about this than than a music video is the dance in a music video isn't telling story it's just kind of selling the song yeah but the dance in this is is telling story like it is we're supposed to get information
1:02:43
[SPEAKER_02]: from the dances.
1:02:44
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you're cutting like that, it's not going to try and, uh, uh, man, it was infuriating to me.
1:02:49
[SPEAKER_02]: But I didn't, I didn't enjoy seeing the final dance sequence.
1:02:53
[SPEAKER_02]: And I, and, and, uh, when Columbus rolls across the, come on on his, on his head, I heard him recently recently, like in the last couple months on a, on a, on a, some kind of video that was sharing, where they were going to get a
1:03:10
[SPEAKER_02]: And, and he was just like, I'm not come on.
1:03:13
[SPEAKER_02]: You gotta give me, you gotta put me in, you gotta put me in, and that one time is him doing it, and that's what's in the movie.
1:03:21
[SPEAKER_02]: But like, yeah, it's, I mean, at that moment is so, it is like, I was moved.
1:03:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to be more moved because of what this meant for the story and in the moment, you know?
1:03:33
[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't feel like it built to that in the way that it needed to.
1:03:42
[SPEAKER_04]: The other thing is, I feel like it didn't, it's like, I thought isn't the whole one of the many storylines that this man has that he's supposed to work as a team, but then he just wins it on his own.
1:03:54
[SPEAKER_04]: I like, I do the cool.
1:03:57
[SPEAKER_03]: You think Michael Jordan won with the team, right?
1:04:02
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, yes.
1:04:03
[SPEAKER_03]: You think, yeah, right?
1:04:04
[SPEAKER_03]: You think Tom Brady was out here playing with YouTube to himself, bro?
1:04:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, how many wizards, championships does he have?
1:04:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Does Michael Jordan have?
1:04:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I think is the answer to the, to the, which we don't do the question of whether Michael Jordan played with the team.
1:04:20
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
1:04:20
[SPEAKER_03]: You said, you know what, what about the wizards?
1:04:24
[SPEAKER_03]: As a DC fan, what about him?
1:04:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just wondering, I feel like he went to the wizards, and I don't remember that.
1:04:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't remember everybody being like, oh, we now rock with the wizards in the same way.
1:04:38
[SPEAKER_02]: You could be from somewhere else.
1:04:39
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got to my time.
1:04:39
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got to my time.
1:04:41
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got to my time.
1:04:44
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got to my time.
1:04:46
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got to my time.
1:04:47
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got to my time.
1:04:48
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got to my time.
1:04:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I know that does undercut it.
1:04:54
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, well, after the cause, I think.
1:04:58
[SPEAKER_04]: You may review these films, not based on how much we like them.
1:05:01
[SPEAKER_04]: But whether or not it helps the cause of leading black actors in Hollywood, if it feels like it fully helps the cause, we give it a black fist.
1:05:06
[SPEAKER_04]: It's someone help the cause, we give it a white palm.
1:05:07
[SPEAKER_04]: If you feel like it didn't help the cause at all, we don't give it anything.
1:05:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So on the count of three, we will raise our review for stump the yard.
1:05:18
[SPEAKER_01]: One, two, three.
1:05:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I assume three bucks, yeah, it was two black fit.
1:05:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I put up two.
1:05:30
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
1:05:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll put up two.
1:05:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll tell you why I put up two.
1:05:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I kept saying throughout the movie to cat that I think every single person that spoke, every see even like the underfives.
1:05:45
[SPEAKER_02]: is someone who I recognize from something else.
1:05:48
[SPEAKER_02]: And so if that's not the end of this movie made, how much money it made, if that's not the cause, I don't know what the cause is.
1:05:57
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?
1:05:58
[SPEAKER_02]: That's true.
1:05:59
[SPEAKER_02]: That's incredible.
1:06:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Every single person that spoke was like, oh, this person.
1:06:05
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I mean, like everybody.
1:06:06
[SPEAKER_02]: I do.
1:06:07
[SPEAKER_02]: To the point of Justin randomly being in the back.
1:06:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, oh, don't see everybody.
1:06:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody is somebody.
1:06:13
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, that's crazy.
1:06:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody is somebody James.

1:06:19
[SPEAKER_03]: I think this movie was iconic.
1:06:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Not saying it's great.
1:06:22
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think sometimes you just need a movie to just
1:06:25
[SPEAKER_03]: have a moment, and I think this movie had it, I think the fact that people are still doing these dances and they're still kind of like in a funny way ahead, making good in it, who I may honestly should be a movie star, I'm sorry, she should be a freaking movie star.
1:06:40
[SPEAKER_03]: But other than that, that's it.
1:06:42
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I mean, come on, just so many people in it, it's all black cast.
