No one will argue that this movie isn't a classic in Black Hollywood. It gave us absolutely everything we wanted in a hood drug movie. Excellent acting, great writing and directing, and a very close to accurate story about AZ, Rich Porter and Alpo. And yes, we some DC niggaz...we also talk about our cities Drug Kingpin Rayful Edmonds and how the stories are connected. Its a very special episode about a damn good film.

Black movies during the Crack Era were dedicated to two things. Passing on lessons to pull ourselves out of this, and showing the very worse in Negro behavior. This is a very important movie that was made on the cheap. And it...DIDN'T...AGE...WELL! And sure by today's perception some of the lessons might be a bit...dated...but thats why 3BG is here! We talk about it's legacy, the acting and Carl Lumby!!! Oh...and the C.I.A. might have had a hand in this. Hey I'm just saying...

This movie was a flop. Not making the same amount as the first. But its cult status dwarfs the first one. You see, if you wanna be somebody and you wanna go somewhere...you better wake up and pay attention! Our boy Denzel joins us on this episode about a movie that was played endlessly in Sunday Schools.

A passion project for Eddie Murphy so that he could work alongside his idol in Richard Pryor, Harlem Nights is a solid and funny film top to bottom

Wonder Man represents a different type of show in that its more concerned with being focused on the personal journey of the character than doing a typical heroes journey. In the grand scheme, its a smart choice. Wonder Man as a character has a very muddled history much like DC's Hawkman. So whats the best way to present the character in a streamlined way? Have the show structured around Simon Williams trying to make it in Hollywood while he's also trying to figure himself out. Pair him up with Trevor Slattery and you got a solid show that does a really good job of being self contained yet lowkey progressing certain aspects of the MCU. Definitely a must watch.
