00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: I have to check the schedule.

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Of the movie Him, so you guys check that out.

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: That movie is basically about football culture, sports culture.

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: Uh turned told uh in almost like a horror package,

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: very abstractly.

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: But one thing about the movie, Rod, is that it

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: was really talking about ghats. H We're talking about one

14
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: of the ghosts in this movie. Yes, talk about one

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: of the Ghats. We gotta talk about Washington Man. And

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: you know they'd be trying to talk down on the

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: brother Denzel and this, that and the other, like this

18
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: man ain't one of the best to ever do it.

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: We ain't gonna stand for a Spike.

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 3: No, we can't.

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: We ain't let talk about it. But that's the reason

22
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: why Mike isn't here now. Mike is out this week.

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: I hope you haven't having a good time, brother, but definitely.

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 2: In The Blue Dress Man, released in nineteen ninety five,

25
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 2: it was written and directed by Carl Franklin, based on

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: Walter Mosley's nineteen ninety novel. It features Denzel Washington who

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: stars as Easy Rawlins, Don Chetoh as Mouse, Jennifer Bills

28
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: as Daphne, and Tom Sizemore as Alright.

29
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: It received positive.

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: Reviews at the time for is noir styles, social commentary,

31
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: and performances. And then it's set in nineteen forty eight

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, exploring race, politics, and corruption through.

33
00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: The new orlens. So we'll get into an over overall

34
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: discussion of kind.

35
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: Of the movie. Uh, and uh, lets see what we

36
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: think about it. So we're never gonna start at the beginning,

37
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: but first let's uh get our initial thoughts. Well, I

38
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: don't know if initial thoughts would be the way to go,

39
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: but I guess my question would be, did you guys

40
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: watch this way back.

41
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: In the day?

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: I did watch you way back in the day, and

43
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: I don't know why until I watched it again before

44
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: I review this. I don't know why I used to

45
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: think this was a Spike Lee movie.

46
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: I mean, because the same things Spike how did wasn't it?

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 2: Halfway through the movie I was I was like, wait,

48
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: this ain't Spike I've seen it.

49
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: When it came on, it was like directed but I

50
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 3: was like, wait.

51
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: I didn't even see directed by because I was setting

52
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: up and I was walking around getting snacks and ship watch,

53
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: so I missed all of the bro in the beginning.

54
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 3: All my life, I thought this was a Spike Lee movie.

55
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: And I was like, damn.

56
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: But the Denzel movie Spike is in. Is it Moba Blues?

57
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 4: Yes, that's the That's why you think that because it's

58
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 4: not around the same time, but it's nineties. Yeah, more

59
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 4: better blues came out before this in the not in

60
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: like in ninety, like nineteen ninety or whatever. So I've

61
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 4: always when I when I hear one or the other,

62
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: I always have them both in my head.

63
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 5: I never can remember which one is which.

64
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: That's crazy. That's why I never knew this wasn't spikely movie.

65
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: But to that point, I love this. I thought this

66
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: was great. I remember liking it back in the day,

67
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 3: but even watching it this time around, it was even

68
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: better to me, Like I feel like this is this

69
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: hell did a great job, Like the storytelling and acting

70
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: was good. It was like a like noar, I think

71
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: that's a genre that they call it. I feel like, yeah,

72
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: I feel like you should do more with black leads

73
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: and that I even feel like this could be remade,

74
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: like they could do the same thing, but it didn't

75
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: have to. Like this was made in the nineties, but

76
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: it was set in what nineteen forty eight? You said

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: they could make this now have it like set in

78
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: the eighties and nineties, And I think it would be

79
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: good as well, as long as you had a good actor.

80
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: It's like developing the story more around the time period

81
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: and like how people interact from in the difference in

82
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: the eighties and nineties than they do today, and tell

83
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: that story in the same type of way, same in

84
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: And I think you could do the same thing. I

85
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: think that's how good this holds up. But I was

86
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: very entertained, phone not in hand, just watching it, Like

87
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 3: the first time I seen it. I loved this movie. Yeah,

88
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: I saw it back. I saw it back in the day.

89
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 4: I don't remember why I saw it either, probably just

90
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 4: because it was Denzel and I'm sure my mom or

91
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 4: whoever had rented it and I watched it.

92
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: You know.

93
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: I want to say I was in going to high school,

94
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: maybe in college.

95
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I was in high school. If you was

96
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 4: in college, I was in high school. I think I

97
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 4: rented this from Blockbuster.

98
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 3: Yeah I didn't. We had it and then and yeah

99
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 3: I saw it.

100
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 4: The one thing I remember, the thing that stood out

101
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 4: the most of me was when she was like, you

102
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: hit my spot, you hit my spot. So that's the

103
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 4: one thing I remember about this movie at the age

104
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 4: that I watched it.

105
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: For a while.

106
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 4: See, Like, I was like, that's the one thing that

107
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: stood out. I was like, is that is this that movie?

108
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 4: I couldn't remember if it was this one A more

109
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 4: bit of Blues. I couldn't remember which one it was in,

110
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 4: but I knew it was in one of them. I

111
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 4: was like, yep, this the one. This the one I

112
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 4: was waiting for that.

113
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: I was so concerned, wake up. That ship is crazy.

114
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: That's it.

115
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 4: And as a young young man, you know, you know

116
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like that shit was was crazy.

117
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: She was wild.

118
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 4: So yeah, but nah, yeah, I thought it was always

119
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 4: a solid film.

120
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 3: It's not.

121
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 4: It's not something I was into it that at that

122
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 4: age or whatever, and watching it now I have much more,

123
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 4: much more of an appreciation for it. Definitely, So I

124
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 4: think it's a solid film. I'm not like crazy about oh,

125
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 4: you gotta see Devil in the Blue Dress, because I

126
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 4: don't even think I picked that one when they when

127
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 4: Jayleen was saying, yo, what's your top three or whatever,

128
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 4: I didn't pick this one in particular. So, but no,

129
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 4: it's it's it holds up. I think it definitely holds up, Spider,

130
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: it definitely holds up. It can even be like I said, recreated,

131
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 4: I think it's solid story.

132
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 3: You know.

133
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, And going back to Correca, she was even teasing

134
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 2: him to like, you know, that's good enough.

135
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna stop. He was like, what the hell?

136
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 2: Knowing it was like just a little bit, just a

137
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: little bit right right, right right now, we should be

138
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: doing this is bad, right.

139
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 3: I don't even know that girl. I'm just I'm just

140
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 3: looking for for somebody else.

141
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

142
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: I can't tell you how or why I even watched

143
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: this movie back then.

144
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't even.

145
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,920

146
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 3: to be. We was watching the Denzel watching the movie.

153
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: I can't. I have not watched this movie a lot,

154
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,400

155
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: I was like.

156
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,800

Speaker 2: But it was just like, wait, what's gonna Like it

158
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:15,600

00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: The first time.

160
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: Like we were talking about thirty years. There's no way

161
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: I'm saying I want to watch Devil in Them never ever.

162
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: Like, but you almost forget, like you said, you watch it.

163
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: It's like because it's probably because of the age that

164
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: we were, but now you appreciate it more. I just

165
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: feel like it's aged a lot better than it was

166
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 3: when we watched it, which is while over thirty years,

167
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: I've probably seen this once, like, but now I would

168
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: go back and watch it i'fter seeing it with new eyes.

169
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we were, which you know, I like

170
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: that we do the anniversaries. One we were just having

171
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: a conversation on is the misialone podcast on the Patreon

172
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: part about.

173
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Mint Life, you know, And I think when you realize.

174
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: When some of these movies come up, you remember them,

175
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: some of them more vividly than others, and you were like, dang,

176
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: it's been doing it thirty Oh my, that's why it man.

177
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: And then so it's good to go back because you

178
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 2: know I've said this on other episodes of Frames per Second,

179
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: is that you know, I'm a one movie watcher for

180
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: the most part, I don't need to watch movies over

181
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: and over again. You know, there are rare movies that

182
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: that I rewatched. But but the beauty of doing this

183
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: show is that it gives me a reason to go

184
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: back and rewatch. Otherwise I'm watching something new. But but

185
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: in this one, though, you know, we we're not going

186
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: to talk about it in three parts.

187
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: So we get introduced to uh.

188
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: He's a Rawlins who was a World War Two vette

189
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: who was in the machinery.

190
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: You know, he's laid off, he's struggled with warriage.

191
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: He had a conversation with his boss and he was

192
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: pointing out the racial parts of it. As that was coming.

193
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 2: He was like, oh, yeah, so the white man could

194
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: do a double shift, but you know, but you know,

195
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: and call off it the fine blah blah blah blah blah.

196
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: And then a guy called him fella head like that,

197
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: and I guess something happened, because he was like, oh yeah,

198
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 2: he would have got your job back. You would apologize

199
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 2: and Denzel and put up with a lot of the

200
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 2: racist stuff that people were doing in the movie. To him,

201
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: I did respect that he got his boy Choppy, who

202
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: introduced him to Albright, and Albright hired him to find Daphne,

203
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: and Easy goes around searching in you know, different clubs.

204
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 2: He meet Correta, We talked about we linked Staphanie to

205
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: Frank Green and Albright you know, it's paying him a

206
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: hundred dollars and then gave him a hundred more dollars.

207
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: And then there's a police arrest and then Easy frame

208
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 2: from her, and we see in a newspaper that the

209
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: mayor drops out of a race, and all this stuff happens,

210
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: you know in the movie. One thing I did do though,

211
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: because I was curious. I went back and when he

212
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: gave him a hundred dollars, I was like.

213
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: What is that today?

214
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: Thirteen one hundred dollars thirteen forty forty five cents, So

215
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: one three hundred forty dollars and forty five cents is

216
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: what one hundred dollars would get you today?

217
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 5: And how much was mortgage in nineteen forty.

218
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what the mortgage is.

219
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 2: But you know what what made me look it up, Rod,

220
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 2: was when you said he was talking about something was

221
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: fifteen cents.

222
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 3: A low of bride bro break fifteen cents. Bro said,

223
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 3: my god.

224
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: I was like, well, you complained about fifty cents.

225
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 5: I was like, you, how much was the mortgage?

226
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: It?

227
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: Bro?

228
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: Fifteen cents, Bro, that's insane.

229
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: So anyway, so I did all the numbers, actually, because

230
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: there were a couple of One I didn't do was

231
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: the thirty thousand. I don't think I'd looked up thirty thousand,

232
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: because that at the end of the movie she looked

233
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: up thirty thousand.

234
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: What was the mortgage?

235
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: Man?

236
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 4: The average cost of a home was only seven thousand

237
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 4: dollars and seven hundred dollars bro in nineteen forty. Imagine

238
00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 4: you're sitting on that you don't pay for it, man, Yeah,

239
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 4: that is crazy.

240
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: On thousand dollars.

241
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 3: So that means like a monthly payment was about forty dollars.

242
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, and so that gave him enough money to

243
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: pay his movies. So I want to get to a

244
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: social part of the beginning of.

245
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: This movie how it kind of set up a lot

246
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: of different things.

247
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 2: So, of course one thousand dollars because he talked to

248
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 2: old Boy about one thousand dollars, and that was thirteen

249
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: thousand dollars, and then seven thousand dollars another number that

250
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: she paid for the pictures. That is ninety three thousand dollars.

251
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: That's the equivalent of ninety three thousand dollars today. So

252
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: those are the numbers from she was day some thousand dollars.

253
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, he was good. He was too good. Yeah,

254
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 3: people love mousing this he was too good to update on.

255
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: This is approximate mortgage payments with twenty nine dollars a month.

256
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 3: You had a down payment of five hundred and fifty

257
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: dollars my house.

258
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: So one of the things I thought was that's really

259
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: interesting is throughout the movie, Easy is wearing the jacket

260
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: of the place he used to work at. Yeah, Champion, right,

261
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: Easy event, Easy good at this job. Easy just wanted

262
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 2: to work and pay his mortgage because he had the house.

263
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: He was really proud of the house.

264
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 5: Love come on to his house, something like owning something.

265
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: In nineteen forty eight, Given the history of everything that

266
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: was going on, that was a lot because you're denied

267
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: a lot of things. Yeah, the way the jacket, what

268
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: happened to him? What that sentinels, of course, is how

269
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: people and black people want to do good, but they're

270
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: forced to do bad because of circus. Right, here's a guy,

271
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: a good man, all intensive purposes. Now, he had a

272
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: shady cousin, got some mass, you know.

273
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: All right, but you know he identified that, he said it,

274
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 3: so he left him alone.

275
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, you know, but exactly he left him alone. Yeah,

276
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: but I thought that that was interesting. He and the

277
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: jacket is a reminder that he's only running around, yeah,

278
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: because he lost his job and he had to pay

279
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 2: his mortgage because hent want to lose his house, and

280
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: so he get caught up in this well of deceit.

281
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: That's why I think that this story is so good

282
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 3: and can be like retold now, like you can have

283
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: the same version of this guy in the nineties, like

284
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: the eighties, like it would be a great story too.

285
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 4: I feel like stories are being told like that. Yeah,

286
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 4: you're right, you can say that about Walter White. Yeah,

287
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like like like so, yeah,

288
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: I feel like this story is actually being told today.

289
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 5: If you think about different stories, which.

290
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: Is why I said people and then I mentioned black people.

291
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, just people because it's the it

292
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: just impacts us more because as in this story and

293
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: then we're the first to go. And that's why he

294
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 2: wanted to point out, was like whether this guy right

295
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: here could do this? And then the other part, of course,

296
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: the social commentary is that he's the fall guy mm

297
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 2: if everything goes wrong, so he's gonna be blamed for everything,

298
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: which is why Albright went to go get black people

299
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: to do the stuff, because they're always the villains.

300
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: Right, It's all gonna fall back on him anyway.

301
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, yep.

302
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: So what did you guys think, Like, did you guys

303
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: think the movie did a good job of captroine like

304
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: post war LA with the clubs, the music, the racism

305
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: and stuff like that.

306
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like they did a perfect job of

307
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: putting us in the world. World building being one of

308
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: my favorite things, like just them not even having to

309
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 3: explain why Easy was the man that Alright would select

310
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: to do it. And then like they didn't explain it,

311
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 3: You're like, well, why the hell he just off He

312
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: ain't no private detective of police officer. He ain't got

313
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 3: the like how would he be able to find it?

314
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 3: But you instantly figured that out once you seen him outside.

315
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 3: Everybody knew him, so if he was able to uh

316
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 3: ask questions like when he made it to the club,

317
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 3: like it wouldn't letting the white man in, but he

318
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 3: was able to get right upstairs. He knew the security

319
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: guard when he got there. People knew who he was.

320
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: But it was good in the sense of how they

321
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 3: show community to be. Like I've seen plays before about

322
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 3: the little juke joints that they would have in people

323
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: houses and they would be upstairs. It would be hitting

324
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 3: from the police because they couldn't go to regular clubs

325
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 3: and have fun as black people, so they would do

326
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 3: it at the house, just like this one was. I

327
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: just felt like they did a really good job of

328
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: putting us in the world telling that story. Post wore

329
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 3: him being a good guy in a bad situation, being

330
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 3: proud of owning something, like all of it was well done.

331
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 3: It may have been just because I seen him too

332
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: and see the good movie versus a bad movie.

333
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: What was the significance of the guy constantly choppa down trees.

334
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 3: I think it's like Friday with Eazel. Okay, you know

335
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 3: what I'm saying That that was like, that's the person

336
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: that's always around. They always see the shit that happened

337
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 3: in the neighborhood. They just had to give him something

338
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 3: to do, drugs when the thing back then, I feel like,

339
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: so him being a tree man, I guess he selled

340
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 3: the wood or something like that. Yeah, he cut the

341
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 3: tree down, sell the wood. Maybe that was a thing

342
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 3: back in the day, but the significance of that, I

343
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 3: feel like in modern day terms is like on Friday

344
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: when you have Eazel just around seeing everything and having

345
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 3: information because he was able to warn him that the

346
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: dude was at his door and stuff like that. He

347
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: tried to tell him when the people had broken his house.

348
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's what I took from that.

349
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: Rob.

350
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 2: I do you think what do you think about Denzel

351
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: as easy? Like did he really kind of capture this

352
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: old sort of reluctant detective sort of thing that he

353
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: was doing.

354
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

355
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he did a good job here.

356
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: Man.

357
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

358
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 4: I know people saying he has one beat and things

359
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 4: like that, but I don't know, I felt like it

360
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: was a little different here. It wasn't like the the

361
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 4: Denzel that we know today. In my opinion, I don't know,

362
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 4: it's just it's just something was slightly different.

363
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 2: There was there was a bit of blackness to it

364
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 2: that it's almost like, yeah, it was a bit of

365
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 2: blackness to him, but not like over the top over

366
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 2: the time. Yeah, because you kind of compare this to

367
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: like training day, where it was a little bit more

368
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: of a darker Yeah.

369
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, one Like no, it was it was

370
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 4: just like like like we're saying, he was just a

371
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 4: regular black man that wanted to do right, but then

372
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 4: he got pulled.

373
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 3: Into some some some some.

374
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 4: Ship or whatever due to the circumstances, and that's what

375
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,719
Speaker 4: it felt like. He didn't he didn't at this point, right,

376
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 4: he didn't feel like Denzel didn't feel bigger than the role.

377
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 4: To me, it felt like if we didn't know him

378
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 4: as Denzel, he would have just been like a black

379
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 4: man that he was playing as this in this role.

380
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 4: And so that's what that's what it felt like to you.

381
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 4: So I thought he did good. I thought he did

382
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 4: it really well.

383
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I didn't know that was his best

384
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 2: friend in the club when we got introduced to Kreta

385
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,160

Speaker 3: Mm hmm yeah yeah yeah.

422
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 2: So so, you know, I think Joppy, Joppy was complained

423
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 2: about the marble that comes with that later but uh,

424
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 2: you know, but Joppy was the one that kind of

425
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 2: I feel like Choppy be setting people up.

426
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: But it was later revealed that he.

427
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: Was just trying to look out for He had no money, yeah.

428
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: And he didn't really mean for any of this stuff

429
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: to happen. He was just trying to put money in

430
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: his part, right. But Joppy in nineteen forty eight got

431
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: to know, man, you can't ever trust the white man,

432
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: you know, so for him to you know, it's like

433
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: you're dancing with the devil bro.

434
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, which messed everything up.

435
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: So it was interesting how he got Joppy to talk

436
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 3: when he came in out th hammel.

437
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: I know he's been banging on the marble. Yeah it's marble.

438
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: It's about daddy.

439
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, he kept messing the ham up because

440
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: you know, I was like, what are you about to

441
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 2: do with that? Hamil, right, But he really viewed Joppy

442
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 2: as a friend, like you know, and he was kind

443
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: of hurt that that happened to him, that Joppy was

444
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 2: the one to do. But Joppy had good intentions, like

445
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 2: trying to help out, you know, because he was about

446
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: to lose everything. He couldn't find a job. He was

447
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: looking to want to ask and stuff like that. So

448
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 2: so you know, it is what it was. But but yeah,

449
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: so Corretta got murdered, and Correta knew who Daphne was

450
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: and how to find her. But it was later revealed

451
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 2: that Corretta was it stored in Daphne for money, but

452
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: she got murdered and it.

453
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: Was revealed that Joppy did it.

454
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: Right, Joppy was when they ended up doing it, But

455
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 2: they framed Easy for it, and they.

456
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: Came in that they booked his ass. Bro they hit

457
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: him on the back of it like that. Bruh. Yeah,

458
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: he was in a bad spot.

459
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 2: But I think that they did a good job of

460
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 2: kind of introducing like the relationships and the themes of

461
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: like race and like power structure and if you sort

462
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: of watched this movie you can kind of see some

463
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: of those insisting forces present today, which kind of scary.

464
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: But anyway, so Daphne an Easy finally link up, and

465
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: then things started to kind of change. So Daphney called Easy,

466
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: and then you get you get some more backstory about, uh,

467
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 2: what Daphne's doing.

468
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: And then they go to McGee and McGee is dead.

469
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 2: Earlier in the movie, they were talking about cigarettes, and

470
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 2: they made it a point to say that Junior, who

471
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 2: was the dorman right in the club, Yeah, he was

472

Speaker 3: she worked up.

506
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they were pumps, man, which you know, it

Speaker 2: shows that a lot of those guys are pump but

508
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 2: it's my mentality. A lot of us is one of you. Yeah,

509
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: that was like he was in a dire situation. But

510
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: hic come all right, as I forgot that's what you'll think.

513
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 2: He was like call back. He's like, you were gonna

514
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 2: do That's what I was thinking too, Like he's really

515
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 2: gonna do this ship.

516
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was good.

517
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 3: Was dude I liked alright though, Man, I feel like

518
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 3: he played that role. He was selling it man when

519
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: he was eating the sandwich in his house and ship

520
00:24:52,960 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 3: man only this was LIQUI was cheap, right, You're gonna

521
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 3: drink his liquor.

522
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 2: That was good.

523
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Who was his joint detectives or not?

524
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 3: But it was a white guy's hitchman, like the other

525
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: dude was Asian or something.

526
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. I can't really overlook that model minority bro.

527
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 2: You know how they can assimilate and you know, and

528
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 2: be accepted even though they're not.

529
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 3: But he popping up because it was in sentence like that,

530
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 3: what what's going on?

531
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: But that that that's the historical accurate too.

532
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah but I saw a video about that.

533
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, yeah, yeah that seems because again this

534
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: was I mentioned earlier, like he didn't really put up

535
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: with a lot of the racist ship except when he

536
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 2: put the gun to his head because he called him,

537
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 2: called him a nigga.

538
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: He was like, that's my money in your pocket.

539
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 3: But when he said hey go give me some liquor.

540
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 2: He was like, man, he was like, hey man, you

541
00:25:54,720 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 2: got balls whatever, and he meant it and he did,

542
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 2: you know when he got it. But because of the cigarettes,

543
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: they realized that Junior was involved, which was a dead giveaway.

544
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: But this when we get introduced to easy. But I

545
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 2: do have a question this part. Didn't that make sense?

546
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 2: I mean, Miles, I'm sorry, Yeah, it's part to make sense.

547
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 2: The devil in the blue dress, daperty. I saw that body,

548
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 2: got in the car, took off.

549
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he left there, broh.

550
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 3: But didn't didn't later come out that she had something

551
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 3: to do with it?

552
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, so she.

553
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 3: Was just taking him up, hoping he would get caught

554
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 3: up there.

555
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I forgot why she was like,

556
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 2: I can't remember that part, but I think, oh, I

557
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 2: don't know what her involvement.

558
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 3: Was with because he had the pictures and that's why

559
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 3: he got killed. Okay, yeah, I proved she was black

560
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 3: or something. My question is what what was that his car? Yeah,

561
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 3: so she took off in his car, That's what I thought. Yeah, Okay,

562
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 3: how he gets back? I thought he walked.

563
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: It gave the appearance because it took him all night,

564
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 2: get back to get back into son was coming up.

565
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 2: But you also in that white neighborhood. Yeah, you know,

566
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: so I don't know. So I guess he walked back

567
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 2: because remember the earlier part. I didn't mentioned this because

568
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: we just kind of talking about the move. Wrong, was

569
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 2: the I think the.

570
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 1: Other minor mayoral candidate or the existing mayor picked him up.

571
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me out right here. Yeah, he ain't want

572
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 4: no fame. It got to take me home. I don't

573
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 4: want no fame, like want nothing from you, sir, I

574
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 4: don't I do not want to owe you. He was right,

575
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 4: He was right. I don't want to owe nobody like that.

576
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 4: Nothing lucky. I'm a friend of the Negros. He love

577
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 4: saying that ship back then there.

578
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 2: But anyway, so so easy was that Frank Green is evolved.

579
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: Frank Green at the time, he was thinking, that's Daphne's

580
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: cousins boyfriend. So he's looking for Frank Green and he's

581
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 2: stirring ship up, and Frank Green went to holler at

582
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: him and then they took the fight easy to get

583
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 2: this cut on his neck?

584
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: Rod, What do you think about mouse? Bro?

Speaker 4: shot him ship.

589
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:35,720

Speaker 3: he was that bird look like Wesley Snipes. He like

593

594
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 3: there was some similarities outside.

595
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love this character.

596
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,160

00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: sat right back time.

652
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: Oh man.

653
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, So anyway, the text was trying to say

654
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 2: Easy up and accuse him of double murder. He said,

655
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: now give me, give me to morning I got you

656
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: don't worry about it. So we found out about a

657
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: book which was a bible and had photos of the

658
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: rail with children naked children, so you know, you know

659
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: what that is. And that's when Easy realized that Albright works.

660
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 3: For Terrell and not Carter.

661
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 2: Now, just to mention it because it was in the movie.

662
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 2: It was a big part of the movie. Well not

663
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: a big part of the movie, but it was a

664
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: scenericod part where.

665
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: Easy went to Carter.

666
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 2: And that's when he discovered that too, when he went

667
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 2: up and pressed him for one thousand dollars, you know,

668
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 2: and he was asked, White dropped out, et cetera, et cetera.

669
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: He never would tell.

670
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 2: And then he was like, Oh, I think you're trying to,

671
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 2: you know, squeeze me for money or whatever. I reframed it.

672
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: It was like two hundred dollars. I want two hundred

673
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 2: dollars Now. He was like, take it, take it off,

674
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: threw all the money at him, but he but easy

675
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 2: was right. He was like, yo, why didn't you go

676
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: to the cops. Why didn't you do this? So he

677
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: kind of he had no choice.

678
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: But anyway, but this whole part, about.

679
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: This middle part, did this kind of keep you guys

680
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: attention where you guys still engaged through this.

681
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: Part as well?

682
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I think the good part about it is

683
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 3: I had a outside of the acting being really good,

684
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,959
Speaker 3: in the world building was really good. The story was interesting.

685
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 3: It's like, what's going on with this nave? Like why

686
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 3: is it? How did she get him in so much trouble?

687
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. So that's what held me

688
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 3: throughout the middle because again, like we said, we've always

689
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 3: seen it, but I was still like, what's gonna happen next?

690
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 3: So her origin of why all of this was happening

691
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 3: was still interested in me and holding me that through

692
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 3: the middle, Yeah, because really you really didn't know.

693
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: And the other part of like rid is just little small,

694
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: little subtle things like when he left the police station

695
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,239
Speaker 2: out of cops, which is driving fucking with it, you know,

696
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 2: and he just had to keep on walking. Yeah, and

697
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 2: that like it you know, didn't exist. This was when

698
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 2: the other guy picked him up too as well.

699
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 3: But I tell you another thing that usually hit the

700
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 3: Missing movies that they did really well was a narration.

701
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 3: I like Denzel telling the story and doing the voiceovers

702
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 3: to speak over is in it too, Like I feel

703
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 3: like that was It added a lot to the movie.

704
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: So in the final part of the movie, the final

705
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 2: act of the movie, we get everything revealed. Rob, what

706
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: did you think about the reveals in the movie at

707
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 2: the end? Did they work for you? When it comes

708
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 2: to what Daphne revealed about her and her.

709
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 3: Frank Green, the reals are Okay.

710
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 4: I think that that's what it could have been a

711
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 4: little stronger for me personally because this this is what

712
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 4: she revealed, that she was creole, her mom was creole

713
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 4: and all that type of stuff. So yeah, that was

714
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 4: cool because I think I thought she was racially ambiguous.

715
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 3: She looked like a white woman.

716
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 4: But she looked like, what's the name daughter Quincy Jones

717
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 4: is now.

718
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 3: And she looked like the kind of favorite the girl

719
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 3: from Sinners.

720
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 4: Yeah right exactly, So so yeah, she's like is she white?

721
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

722
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 4: So yeah, I thought that was a that was a

723
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 4: nice reveal. What was the other reveals? Was there anything else?

724
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 3: The other one was about to just the photos yet

725
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 3: with the whole behind it.

726
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: Terrell was the the existing there I believe picked up

727
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 2: right right right, yeah right, So that's that was her

728
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 2: her way keeping stuff like she had that as like collateral. Yeah,

729
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 2: black male incriminated photos of Torell for black Male because

730
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 2: Terrell was gonna reveal that she was basically black, Yeah,

731
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 2: mixed rights.

732
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's nineteen forty eight, yeah, yeah.

733
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 2: Right right right Carter with the yeah black life, you

734
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 2: ain't wain.

735
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: That, right, you ain't winning that.

736
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 4: But I mean the reveal is like, you know, it's

737
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 4: it's part of the movie. I mean, I mean, it's

738
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 4: it's nothing else to kind of reveal, like, so it

739
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 4: works for the movie.

740
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll say that the reveal worked for the movie.

741
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 4: But I wasn't like, oh man, Dann that's crazy because

742
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 4: it was supposed to be a mystery, right, So I

743
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 4: don't I don't know if the payoff was that much

744
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 4: for me personally, for as a mystery is you know,

745
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 4: for as mysteries go.

746
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: What's the use spie.

747
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was good. It fit in with the movie,

748
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 3: like with Rod saying, it wasn't too like, oh shit,

749
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 3: I wouldn't. Yeah, it didn't blow my mind, but it

750
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 3: was like, Okay, that's a good piece of the puzzle

751
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 3: for the whole movie overall. Okay, yeah, that makes sense

752
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 3: that all of this trouble would be around the pictures

753
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 3: and the blackmail and the political stuff. So yeah, it

754
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 3: makes sense that you think you're doing something simple as

755
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 3: far as finding someone, and he was clarifying, that's all

756
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 3: I gotta do. I ain't got to do nothing else,

757
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: and all of this stuff came with it. But to

758
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 3: find out why exactly, it was like, okay, that's a

759
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 3: good story.

760
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah there. I like the reveal.

761
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 2: I think her trying to cause there are a lot

762
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,959
Speaker 2: of white people running around here acting like they don't

763
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: have no black people, and she was trying to blend

764
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 2: in and assimilate.

765
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: And I like that.

766
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 2: You guys pointed out that, you know the ambiguousness of

767
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: it because again going back to him, we just review that,

768
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 2: you know, because that that is the actor in that

769
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 2: that Cam Tarrek Withers kind of has that same sort

770
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: of thing too, Like and there's another guy because for second,

771
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 2: I thought Albright was the other racially ambiguous black guy

772
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 2: at being movies. He being slightly movies too, you know

773
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. He looks damn they're white, but

774
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 2: he's not. I think he wasn't in Harlem Knights. Y'all

775
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 2: are knowing when you see him? God do In'm trying

776
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 2: to remove his name, but I'll say if I can

777
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 2: look it up. But because that's what I was saying,

778
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 2: I was like, dang is alright? Kind of missed. So

779
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: when she was like Frank Green's my brother, I was like,

780
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 2: what how the hell that happened?

781
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: And she kind of revealed it.

782
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: It made sense because Creoles, yeah, you know, especially in

783
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 2: New Orleans, bro they yeah, yeah, they could easily probably

784
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 2: pass sometimes. So they have a lot of brightness to him.

785
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: So I thought I thought it was interesting. Yeah, and

786
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 2: you you know, think about like like the racial dynamics

787
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 2: and how you watch easy being constantly harassed because he

788
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 2: can't blending and how who he is, you know?

789
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: And but yet she could.

790
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: But when it got out, it didn't matter because when

791
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: she was being held hostage because Albright came into kidnapper,

792
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 2: it was it should be.

793
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: It's movies, all laughing, You're like, which part of you is?

794
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: Which party was a nigger? You know?

795
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 2: And that's when, of course, all right, easy saved him

796
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 2: and we.

797
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: Got to see Mouston action too, and he don't miss miss.

798
00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 3: I don't miss miss Mouse. I love that he didn't dying.

799
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: Me too, yeah, me too, was like, man, what you know,

800
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 2: if I'm sitting here dealing with him, I can I

801
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 2: come in to help you?

802
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 3: Right exactly?

803
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, but you know, at the end of the day,

804
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 2: when it was all said and done, she was still

805
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 2: a nigga. And she went back to Carter hoping to

806
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 2: blend in, took the thirty thousand out and Carter.

807
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 3: Was like, nah, so she got stuck. And I love

808
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 3: what he was saying.

809
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 2: He was like, yeah, she still was kind of in

810
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 2: denial and as she thinks that she can blend in,

811
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 2: but nah, it didn't work. And uh, and that's when

812
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 2: Carl was like you know, just just want to let

813
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 2: you know I still love her up to my point,

814
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 2: you knows.

815
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, so.

816
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 2: I love Mouse was like, also, I went and got

817
00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 2: the money from from her because I know your kind.

818
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: And he was not lying because he went back to

819
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: give her the money and she had bounced. So uh.

820
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 2: And then we kind of end with him on the

821
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 2: porch talking to the deacon and he was like, you know,

822
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 2: said something about his friend and stuff like that, and

823
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 2: you know, he's looking around and looking at the community,

824
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 2: you know, and everybody's kind of having a good time.

825
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 1: And I think they handled at their starting.

826
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 2: They started a private investigation firm towards.

827
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: The end, so and that was kind of pretty much

828
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: the movie. So yeah.

829
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 2: So all in all, Man, did the ending work out

830
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 2: for you guys, and what you guys think about Easy's

831
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 2: just overall journey.

832
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 3: A nice little day in the life, week in the

833
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 3: life of whatever it may be. I thought the ending

834
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 3: was great. Movie was great. Like you said, I'm really

835
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 3: happy that Don Chelo's character did die. This was good Man,

836
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 3: And I can't believe I thought it was a spike

837
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 3: ly feelings like thirty years.

838
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 5: It was good.

839
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 4: I feel like you see Denzel kind of go handing,

840
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 4: especially back then, you would think.

841
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 3: But you know that it's the more better blues thing. Yeah,

842
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 3: that's what it.

843
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: So.

844
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'll just do a freeze frame for the

845
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 2: part of the black guy.

846
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: But overall, yeah, yeah, I think so. Now we can talk.

847
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: About performance because we are some competing performers Denzel versus Mouse,

848
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,439
Speaker 2: you know, and just overall all the performance. You guys

849
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 2: liked all the performances in here for the most part.

850
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 2: Who started show or Mouse? Definitely? Definitely so the show.

851
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 3: Roger brought up a great point as far as Dizzel

852
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 3: did a great job of just making this dude seem

853
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 3: normal easy. I know it might like to say he

854
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 3: played the same role, like I didn't get Denzel Washington

855
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 3: from this dude. I got normal every day working. Yeah,

856
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So he did a really

857
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 3: good job of taking you out of the mind process

858
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 3: that hey this is Denzel. Uh that was good. The

859
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 3: girl so briefly in there, I think she was very impactful,

860
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 3: the one that got killed. Correct, Yeah, Coretta did a

861
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 3: good job.

862
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

863
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 3: Those the three top performances for me.

864
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, yeah, I think I'm gonna go Mouse easy,

865
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 2: mouse and easy for sure.

866
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if I have a third one.

867
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 3: I guess that play all right?

868
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: Yeahright, good?

869
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 3: He was good?

870
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you can't really you can really ever tell

871
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 2: with him.

872
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 3: It looked like yeah, alright was Yeah, he's like friend

873
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 3: and foe.

874
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

875
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, did a good job.

876
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: He was racist yeah, yeah so yeah. The corenda bo

877
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: is good yea.

878
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 3: The description of him yeah yeah.

879
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,919
Speaker 2: So but overall yeah, Double in the Blue Dress, which

880
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 2: is interesting because the devil was the white woman, but

881
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,439
Speaker 2: the devil, but the white woman also has Negro blood

882
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 2: and so the devil could be looked at the black too,

883
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 2: so you know, it could be interchangeable. So I thought

884
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 2: that was that was interesting, But I can't I've never

885
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 2: read the book, so it makes sense.

886
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 3: It's a book. I would love to see it. But anyway,

887
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 3: that's it. Man.

888
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,400
