This kinda black classic streak you guys are on is so refreshing! I think I speak for everyone when I say PLEASE keep going, we’re going to tune in to each & every one! 😂🤭
AGREED! I love seeing triple platinum black films pop up in these spaces. It’s like when you show your friend a movie for the first time just waiting for them to get to the plot twist 😂
The series Final Chapters is like the final boss. A total accumulation of each character really. The single most beautiful piece of writing by Malcolm D Lee 💯
Sanaa is actually from black Hollywood Royalty her father is Stan Lathan, legendary film director, she is amazing in Love and Basketball, Blade, Brown Sugar and the beautiful romantic movie Something New ....
I’m always weary of non Black creators reacting to our classics (I’ve seen plenty that have been rude) but you were both so respectful, receptive and sweet 🤍 thank you for this!
The thing I hate about the ending is that she said yes to Harper's proposal. Like girl, he was planning on sleeping with another woman the night before! And was emotionally cheating on you the entire time you weren't there.
Fun Fact: Terrance Howard was really playing the guitar and actually learned how to play for the movie and learned well enough to perform that scene in just a few months. There is a Best Man 2 and a mini series on Peacock which are both very good as well.
As a 40 year old black man that loves movies in general. It really warms my heart to see non black people reacting to black movies. I grew up in an era where it didn't feel like non black folks watched black movies or movies with majority black cast. Especially outside of comic book stuff. Its so many gems that haven't been reacted to on the bigger reaction channels. Hopefully I didn't offend anyone because thats not my intention, just my experience.
@@nsmith3128 We do not owe you anything, we don’t have to support you None of you support or care about “ non black people” you just demand that everyone else supports you
@elizabethh4329 girl yes!! first time i saw this i was very young && i believe this is truly where my love for chocolate🍫men BEGAN😍😍🤤 he was just too fine for words😂😂
Fun fact, the slap Jordan give Harper was accidentally real. She got so into the scene and actually slapped him. The "wooooo" was actually him recollecting himself to not react and ruin the scene. He did not speak to her for a while after that because he though she was unprofessional.
Terrance Howard takes credit for that slap. He said he told Nia and Taye during rehearsal that he "Didnt believe that shitt" 😂😂 so Nia upped the antee and slapped him to make it believable
Harper is soooooo unaware of himself, which makes it impossible for him to recognize how well his friends actually know him. He thought they would read it like the public as opposed to picking up on all the clues that those who are close to him recognize instantly. That being said, had things played out the way Harper wanted, I think it would've been worse. Lance would've still picked up on the cues, been pissed, and only had Mia to address or resent.
I had no business watching this as young as I did, I wish I could have watched this as an adult for the first time. However, I wouldn’t trade my 2000’s childhood for ANYTHING. My older siblings and cousins thinking I was sleeping but I was enjoying the movies instead is timeless. 😂 Please add “Set It off” to the list! Edit: and also “Love and Basketball“ and Tyler Perry’s “Temptation Confession of a Marriage Counselor “ please!
Fun fact: Sanaa Lathan (Robin) and Regina Hall (Candy the Stripper) are real life best friends. Sanaa's dad is also a well known Hollywood director and producer. And yes, Do the Right Thing please.
Harold Perrineau was also in Romeo + Juliet 1996) as Mercutio and he’s the BEST part of the movie for me. You should watch on your own time if you haven’t already!
You guys dropped this at THE perfect time. This was my sisters favorite movie. She passed away in 2020 but today is her birthday. Enjoyed watching this with you all. Happy heavenly birthday sis. Love ya.
This was a favourite of my late bestie and I, when we were broke young lasses. Happy Heavenly Birthday to your sister, really happy for you getting this gift today 😊
SoSo sorry, Happy Heavenly Birthday to your sister. I know what it's like to have a sister gone as well, something I thought about when I watched their reaction to 'The Color Purple' that movie always reminds me of me and my sister only we won't have the reunion till I join her😔. I loved these reactions to these classics I just discovered them and they have picked some really good ones. I've watched at least 5 videos today. Agreed, The Best Man is one of those ones WE ALL LOVED and have memories from
Quentin was really The Best Man out of all of them because he was unapologetically himself throughout while the other bruhz were being/ pretending who they ain’t. And he wanted the others to just be “real” with themselves.
Something New (2006) - Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker Best Man Holiday (2013) - Sanaa Lathan, Taye Diggs, Morris Brown Sugar (2002) - Sanaa Lathan, Taye Diggs The Preacher's Wife (1996) - Whitney Houston and Denzel Washington Set It Off (1996) - Jada Pinkett, Queen Latifah, Vivica Fox
Fun fact: The slap Jordan gave Harper was not part of the script. Taye Diggs wasn’t expecting Nia Long to do that but he stayed in character, so his reaction was real. I was way to young to watch this movie but that’s one fact I’ve always known. 😅😅
Undercover Brother! YASSSSS! I'm an older, always-try-to-be dignified Black woman yet that movie has me literally falling out of my chair at the movie theater!
This movie/movie series has in my opinion some of the best cast chemistry ever put to film. That’s why all the friendship scenes work so well, they just feel real.
Yall two are successfully tapping into an untapped market. Reactions to black movies. I love it. I told my friends and they are checking yall out too. Keep this going man cause these are movies I dont see many if anyone reacting too. AND, you two are some of the best reactors on youtube. The comments are funny and on point. You dont spend a long time talking and you dont talk over the good part. Plus , my brother to the left. Your laugh is so genuine. Id make it my ring tone if I could. seriously. some folks on these reactions give a snicker or a fake laugh but yours is for real. And i aint forget about you "Side Salad' LOL Hey, I called you that because you referred to someone as that in a Tyler Perry movie and I laughed my ass off when you said it. Its stuck in my head and im not calling you that to diminish your role on this channel. I just think of it when I see you because you said it. Your comments are always on target and funny as hell. Keep on reacting. I got other friends i need to tell.
It’s really good to see people embracing black films who may not typically be familiar. This film is brilliant and has been long-loved amongst the community. A few notes: Harold Perrineau (Merch) is from Oz, Lost & an incredible series on now called, From. That is Terrance Howard actually playing the guitar, who I briefly met the same year the movie released, just walking down the street in Philly. And I’m actually related to both Morris Chestnut and Taye Diggs. Anyway, great review! I appreciate pausing as you two are talking as to not kill any lines in the film. I wish more channels did that! You have to review Do The Right thing & Undercover Brother! They are gems for different reasons! Lastly, Jaby, if you see this you HAVE TO review The Way of the Gun! Skip the poles on that and just bless people with it! You know how incredible it is! ✌🏾
I am so glad you guys are watching these movies. Sadly, Black cinema is treated as a second-class citizen in Hollywood. Seemingly considered movies that only black people would watch, but we have great stories, some real ones with heart, comedy, and hope, sometimes they have a moral center and some real wisdom. I say that to say, the fact, that you guys are so open to watching and you're recognizing that you really missed out on good storytelling - gives me hope that the next time a "Black" movie comes to the theatre you will not feel intimidated about going to support it. Sanaa Lathan is in "Love and Basketball" and "Something New". I would love to see your response to "Do the Right Thing", "Higher Learning", "Undercover Brother", "The Best Man Holiday", "School Daze", "The Temptations", "The Five Heartbeats", "Waiting to Exhale", "House Party" 1 and 2, "Girls Trip" and "Soul Food" are solid choices for reacting to. You guys make me so happy that you are going on this journey.
@digthewarmth I actually love it. It can be sensual but also really silly and fun. I've caught it a couple times. I'd ask permission if they were okay with me getting a Lil wild
YES so glad you guys are getting into this series. Definitely watch the best man holiday and another good movie with Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lathan is Brown sugar and another Sanaa movie is Love and Basketball. And for some more Nia long . Love jones is a classic black rom com with her as the lead
Oh my god. let's go!!!!! this is one of my favorite movies. And to answer eternal question that this movie poses: all three of them was wrong Lance was wrong for cheating on Mia, Mia was wrong for sleeping with Harper and lying, and Harper was wrong for sleeping with Mia and then having the balls to write a book about it. Sidenote: Morris Chestnut was the definition of FINE AF in this movie.
They haven't seen Love & Basketball they have only seen her in The Family That Preys Together. I waited to see how long it took them to recognize her from that movie.
Harper is such the judge mental friend that throws rocks and hides his hands friend that I wouldn’t want in my circle. I’m so happy about the black cast movie reactions from this channel it’s literally giving me joy in a hard time in my life right now. Thank y’all so much please add the sequel “The Best Man Holiday” to the reaction list. I’m really enjoying this black Hollywood rabbit hole journey you guys are on! Keep it going 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Fun Fact: The slap from Nia Long (50:14) was so real, Taye Diggs vowed never to work with her again. That reaction from him was real. Plus, the stripper is Brenda from "Scary Movie". Underrated actress. Second reaction video from you guys am watching and it's making the movies enjoyable just seeing fresh reactions/perspectives i.e the poker game scene. Was in high school when this movie came out and seeing it now, that was very smart of the director. Will keep watching . Thanks for this trip down memory lane Another One: Ah, snap! you just referenced the poker scene again; 1:10:25 - that was a good one. It also gave us a sneak preview on his character: the sensitivity, short temper, because all along he was portrayed as a standup football player, husband type guy. I miss these type black movies. now the characters, scripts and settings are unrelatable and inauthentic... Bring Back The 90's/early 2000's Third Edit: (as I go along)The deadlocked guy from "The Matrix", is on "From", the series I hate making things about race, but a lot of black artists/directors don't get the recognition they deserve. This podcast is doing so much towards giving them the exposure and flowers. Salute! Have you seen "The Maid"? That's another great performance all 'round. When characters are well written you forget about ethnicities etc... That's what I miss.
Since the holiday season is approaching, PLEASE react to The Preacher's Wife (1996), Soul Food (1997), Last Holiday (2006), The Perfect Holiday (2007), This Christmas (2007), and Almost Christmas (2016). You won't regret it!
if you want more Sanaa Lathan, watch Love and Basketball. Sanaa Lathan and Taye Diggs also play love interests in Brown Sugar. those 2 movies are also black classics you would enjoy
Yes, one of Sanaa Lathan best roles IMO, my daughter used to watch it every day after school. The movie is great. Love and Basketball. ❤ * Girl's don't play basketball. *Ball better than you*
I NEED you guys to watch The Best Man Holiday in time for the holiday season! You guys have to see where these characters are 20 years later. This was one of my mom’s favorite movies, so I had a great time watching you guys react to it.
I just want to say you guys came on my TL and I love both of y’all’s reactions to the movies the black culture grew up on! Yall keep going cause imma tune in EVERY TIME!!! ❤❤
Definitely gotta watch The Best Man Holiday. The way they used the actual time gap between the 1st one and it in real life and wrote it into the script was dope!
This reaction made me realize just how few non black reactors watch ANY black cinema at all. I think about my life and how much I've seen of "other people's stories," because there were no other options or few options that really portrayed black people as human and not stereotypes. A lot of reactors don't watch "our stories" because they feel "its not for them," or they can't somehow react without coming off as racist. Stories of betrayal, friendship, love---are what binds us all together and by watching something like this, we learn about each other. It's why Shakespeare has stood the test of time. Well done, really. Thanks for sharing and reacting.
I love this black classic trip you're going on. Please add to the list... Set It Off, Vampire in Brooklyn, Soul Food, The Preachers Wife, How Stella got her groove back, and Paid in Full
I’m so glad you guys did this movie and enjoyed it so much!!! I waited for every single scene just to see your faces and hear your comments, ESPECIALLY the poker scene and the bachelor party. You didn’t miss a beat. If you haven’t already, maybe watch The Wood and Love and Basketball.
Regina Hall played Candy the stripper she is also Brenda from the Scary Movie franchise great reaction guys the second film Best Man Holiday is just as good but very emotional
Fun fact. Nia Long really did slapt Tayr Diggs. He has said the slap was soooo paintul he refuses to work with her in a movie again. Lol he wasnt saying it malicously... Its the joke behind it. 🙌🏿💯
I forgot how much I absolutely love this movie. It was one of a string of classic black films from this era! OOOH it was a delicious time!! Mannnnn! You might even say it was The Second Golden Age of Black Cinema! 🤩
Yes, the 80's and 90's had a huge string on Black Cinema, even the early 2000's. But I really love the cinema that came out in the 90's, it displayed the culture at the time in such a way, that made it so relatable and refreshing to see displayed on screen.
I really love your reactions, your chemistry is so dope. I chuckle at all your jokes, it’s really like watching a movie with friends because our humour is so similar.. some of the things you say are stuff I would stay. 😅😅❤❤
You should DEFINITELY watch "Do the Right Thing," "Brown Sugar," "Love Jones," "Love & Basketball," "New Jack City," "Dead Presidents," "Menace II Society," "Moonlight," "Undercover Brother," "Set It Off," "Meteor Man" & "Black Dynamite."
This kinda black classic streak you guys are on is so refreshing! I think I speak for everyone when I say PLEASE keep going, we’re going to tune in to each & every one! 😂🤭
Agreed. They are hitting all the good classics. Been wishing they did other movies like 12 years a slave after they did the color purple

But since yall on The Best Man, it’s only right to watch The Best Man Holiday. Hard to do a sequel almost 20 years later and it still is good
💯💯💯💯💯
It's only right 😌
The series Final Chapters is like the final boss. A total accumulation of each character really. The single most beautiful piece of writing by Malcolm D Lee 💯
The best man holiday was definitely better than the first best man for me❤️
Yessssssss
Sanaa is actually from black Hollywood Royalty her father is Stan Lathan, legendary film director, she is amazing in Love and Basketball, Blade, Brown Sugar and the beautiful romantic movie Something New ....
Forgot about something new...sooo good
All of those movies she acted great in. I loved her in the Perfect Guy and Disappearing Acts.
@@ms.undastood2586 The Perfect Guy creeps me out.
I realized when they only recognized her from the Family The Preys that they’ve never seen Love & Basketball. I neeeeed that next
They should definitely watch Love and Basketball too!! OMG

@@princessmajesty8676 why is that funny?

Which creators were rude
The thing I hate about the ending is that she said yes to Harper's proposal. Like girl, he was planning on sleeping with another woman the night before! And was emotionally cheating on you the entire time you weren't there.
Same, I hate it. The fact that him and Jordyn danced together and he kissed her forehead would have had me seeing red!
I was mad he did it at someone else wedding. Like no class at all
Fun Fact: Terrance Howard was really playing the guitar and actually learned how to play for the movie and learned well enough to perform that scene in just a few months. There is a Best Man 2 and a mini series on Peacock which are both very good as well.
The mini series is dope af
@@OrondeBranchYes, it is good, but it also shows just how toxic both Harper and Lance are and were. The problem is they are both Narcissists.
Since Nia Long was a crush, give Love Jones a try!
I like the fact that Terrence Howard does country music too.
All these years later and that intro to Morris Chesnut still has an effect on me 😮💨
Girl me too 😅....
EVERY. TIME that bass starts and you see that flash of black coat…. SHIVERS! 😂
@ginahouston9352 just chocolate coming in. I was 13 the first time I ve seen this, lolz. Me and my cousin sneaked and watched it lolz
That Man is FINE... 😍😍
All of his intros… The theater went CRAZY when he got out of the car in Think Like A Man… Yes, I hollered, too. 😂😂😂

@@misstexas651so Terrance is a menace on and off screen, got it! 😂
I was coming to say this, slap heard around the world.
Harper is soooooo unaware of himself, which makes it impossible for him to recognize how well his friends actually know him. He thought they would read it like the public as opposed to picking up on all the clues that those who are close to him recognize instantly.
That being said, had things played out the way Harper wanted, I think it would've been worse. Lance would've still picked up on the cues, been pissed, and only had Mia to address or resent.
Very good point. It took me a couple rewatches to understand Harper and I still didn't think about him being that disconnected from reality.

I've been to white weddings too where they did that. And lol yes it is too sensual especially doing it in front of older and children family members 😆
YES so glad you guys are getting into this series. Definitely watch the best man holiday and another good movie with Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lathan is Brown sugar and another Sanaa movie is Love and Basketball. And for some more Nia long . Love jones is a classic black rom com with her as the lead
Yes to those three plus the wood 👌🏾
Oh my god. let's go!!!!! this is one of my favorite movies. And to answer eternal question that this movie poses: all three of them was wrong Lance was wrong for cheating on Mia, Mia was wrong for sleeping with Harper and lying, and Harper was wrong for sleeping with Mia and then having the balls to write a book about it. Sidenote: Morris Chestnut was the definition of FINE AF in this movie.
Yes, on everything, including the Morris Chestnut being fine asf in this movie 🤌🏾😄...
Yesss, our wee he was my crush
I paused when he first came on-scene in this movie. He is beyond handsome. Just perfect.
3:17 “men, we don’t know what we did” in song form lmao!!! Not even 5 minutes in and Michael already had me in stitches 😂😂😂
Glad you guys were finally able to watch this and enjoy it. It's such a fun classic❤🙌🏿
A underrated classic would be the movie Boomerang
Big facts
Yesss!! Boomerang is my favorite Eddie Murphy movie after Coming to America
OMG! They have to watch Boomerang! And Harlem Nights.
Sanaa is such a gem, so I’m just going to ASSUME you’ve both seen Love & Basketball. If not, then that is urgent
They haven't seen Love & Basketball they have only seen her in The Family That Preys Together. I waited to see how long it took them to recognize her from that movie.
Harper is such the judge mental friend that throws rocks and hides his hands friend that I wouldn’t want in my circle. I’m so happy about the black cast movie reactions from this channel it’s literally giving me joy in a hard time in my life right now. Thank y’all so much please add the sequel “The Best Man Holiday” to the reaction list. I’m really enjoying this black Hollywood rabbit hole journey you guys are on! Keep it going 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Fun Fact: The slap from Nia Long (50:14) was so real, Taye Diggs vowed never to work with her again. That reaction from him was real.
Plus, the stripper is Brenda from "Scary Movie". Underrated actress.
Second reaction video from you guys am watching and it's making the movies enjoyable just seeing fresh reactions/perspectives i.e the poker game scene. Was in high school when this movie came out and seeing it now, that was very smart of the director. Will keep watching . Thanks for this trip down memory lane
Another One: Ah, snap! you just referenced the poker scene again; 1:10:25 - that was a good one. It also gave us a sneak preview on his character: the sensitivity, short temper, because all along he was portrayed as a standup football player, husband type guy. I miss these type black movies. now the characters, scripts and settings are unrelatable and inauthentic... Bring Back The 90's/early 2000's
Third Edit: (as I go along)The deadlocked guy from "The Matrix", is on "From", the series
I hate making things about race, but a lot of black artists/directors don't get the recognition they deserve. This podcast is doing so much towards giving them the exposure and flowers. Salute!
Have you seen "The Maid"? That's another great performance all 'round. When characters are well written you forget about ethnicities etc... That's what I miss.
That slap was NOT in the script 🤣😭 makes me love that scene much more
Since the holiday season is approaching, PLEASE react to The Preacher's Wife (1996), Soul Food (1997), Last Holiday (2006), The Perfect Holiday (2007), This Christmas (2007), and Almost Christmas (2016). You won't regret it!
I would second Soul Food for Black Cinema & The Holidays.
Oh, DEFINITELY Soul Food. I thought we were getting messy when I saw The Best Man reaction pop up, but Soul Food. Let The Messy Olympics begin to 😆...
@AshLee92490 hahahahahaha. Almost Christmas is messy. Grandma is such a good time. IJS.
Last Holiday for sure. It’s my all time favorite movie
The Preacher’s Wife has the BEST soundtrack ever
Do The Right Thing is a must watch. Very important film.
My Favorite movie
if you want more Sanaa Lathan, watch Love and Basketball. Sanaa Lathan and Taye Diggs also play love interests in Brown Sugar. those 2 movies are also black classics you would enjoy
Undercover Brother and the closeup mayo shots are amazing 😂
Sanaa Lathan movie recs: Love & Basketball, Brown Sugar, Something New 🩷
Love n Basketball and Best Man Holiday next please and thanks 😊
You guys use discovering elite Black Cinema 🎦 has been so fun
I’m still voting for Love and Basketball! It has Sanaa (pronounced SUH-NAH) Lathan.
Yes, Waiting to Exhale !!
Yes, one of Sanaa Lathan best roles IMO, my daughter used to watch it every day after school. The movie is great. Love and Basketball. ❤ * Girl's don't play basketball. *Ball better than you*
More like SUH-NAH
suh-NAH. Only caps on the second part for the emphasis on the second part.
I NEED you guys to watch The Best Man Holiday in time for the holiday season! You guys have to see where these characters are 20 years later. This was one of my mom’s favorite movies, so I had a great time watching you guys react to it.
I just want to say you guys came on my TL and I love both of y’all’s reactions to the movies the black culture grew up on! Yall keep going cause imma tune in EVERY TIME!!! ❤❤
I love when the two of you react to movies. 💯
Yesssssssssss!!!!!
I love them. I think I saw them react to the Color Purple and I was hooked.
I love them together!!!
That slap Nia gave Harper 50:03 was real and his reaction is very real he was angry lol
I was about to put this. Lol Thank you.
Definitely gotta watch The Best Man Holiday. The way they used the actual time gap between the 1st one and it in real life and wrote it into the script was dope!
The Best Man: The Final Chapters showcases phenomenal writing and performances
The dilemma between Harper and Jordan is so real. Tension be thick as hell and yall aint ever hooked up before 😂
This reaction made me realize just how few non black reactors watch ANY black cinema at all. I think about my life and how much I've seen of "other people's stories," because there were no other options or few options that really portrayed black people as human and not stereotypes. A lot of reactors don't watch "our stories" because they feel "its not for them," or they can't somehow react without coming off as racist. Stories of betrayal, friendship, love---are what binds us all together and by watching something like this, we learn about each other. It's why Shakespeare has stood the test of time. Well done, really. Thanks for sharing and reacting.
I love this black classic trip you're going on. Please add to the list... Set It Off, Vampire in Brooklyn, Soul Food, The Preachers Wife, How Stella got her groove back, and Paid in Full
I second the vampire in Brooklyn request
also precious that movie is horrible
Do the right thing/ School Daze/Love Jones all three are stellar. Also Undercover Brother is a favorite of my family.
They're not going to understand school daze plus it's a musical
Y’all need to watch Sanaa Lathan in Love & Basketball
I’m so glad you guys did this movie and enjoyed it so much!!! I waited for every single scene just to see your faces and hear your comments, ESPECIALLY the poker scene and the bachelor party. You didn’t miss a beat. If you haven’t already, maybe watch The Wood and Love and Basketball.
Seeing y’all watch the classics of black Hollywood is so refreshing
Great reaction review. Best Man Holiday next and Love N Basketball
One of the rare black films that has crossed over to the mainstream 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
1999's "The Wood"
I endorse this one 😀
Yessssss
That's my joint right there
Yesssss
Gotta run up “The Best Man’s Holiday” now. We here for it ❤
FUN FACT:the slap between NIA LONG and TAYE DIGGS was improved lmaooooo the slap was real and it wasn't in script
Yeaaaa y'all!!! Y'all on a roll with the classic Black films!! 🔥🔥
Also Terrence Howard was great in this movie. He’s such an underrated actor, if y’all wanna see more of his work watch Hustle N’ Flow
Sanaa also starred on Alien vs Predator. A lot of people forget that one when they think of her.
It's actually one of my favorites. So rare to see a black female lead in a horror movie
Terrance Howard really plays guitar very well
I loved Terrence Howard in this. So messy😂😂
Sanaa Lathan has incredible range. Love and Basketball and Brown Sugar. Watch those as well
Regina Hall played Candy the stripper she is also Brenda from the Scary Movie franchise great reaction guys the second film Best Man Holiday is just as good but very emotional
Something New is my favorite Sanaa Lathan movie. 🍿 🎥 👏🏽
It would be a great reaction film!
That’s a good one too
Fun fact. Nia Long really did slapt Tayr Diggs. He has said the slap was soooo paintul he refuses to work with her in a movie again. Lol he wasnt saying it malicously... Its the joke behind it. 🙌🏿💯
Undercover brother is a classic! You HAVE to watch it
I forgot how much I absolutely love this movie. It was one of a string of classic black films from this era! OOOH it was a delicious time!! Mannnnn! You might even say it was The Second Golden Age of Black Cinema! 🤩
Yes, the 80's and 90's had a huge string on Black Cinema, even the early 2000's. But I really love the cinema that came out in the 90's, it displayed the culture at the time in such a way, that made it so relatable and refreshing to see displayed on screen.
I really love your reactions, your chemistry is so dope. I chuckle at all your jokes, it’s really like watching a movie with friends because our humour is so similar.. some of the things you say are stuff I would stay. 😅😅❤❤
They are going to cry when they do the sequel.
🤫 lol
Shhhhhhhhh
I love that you guys are watching all our black classics! I love watching you enjoy these!!
I’m so glad I found this channel!! I love that y’all are watching the black household staples!! 💜💜
You should DEFINITELY watch "Do the Right Thing," "Brown Sugar," "Love Jones," "Love & Basketball," "New Jack City," "Dead Presidents," "Menace II Society," "Moonlight," "Undercover Brother," "Set It Off," "Meteor Man" & "Black Dynamite."
Love & Basketball is also a must! Gina Prince-Bythewood directed. She also directed Woman King....highly underrated director IMO
Man all of these films are my cinematic childhood flicks
I bet they would enjoy New Jack City! Wesley just takes over every scene he's in.
