  • The film and TV career of Ice Cube
    Oct 11 2024

    In honor of our upcoming screening of Boyz n the Hood in 4K on November 13 at SteelStacks, we are taking a close look at the film and TV career of Ice Cube.

    Topics discussed:

    🎞️ Ice Cube is more versatile as an actor than you might realize.

    🎭 Even as his acting career has evolved in surprising ways, he has stayed true and authentic to himself.

    🏀 His career also evolved to include founding the Big 3, a basketball league with former NBA players, and other entrepreneurial projects.

  • The film and TV career of LL Cool J
    Oct 2 2024

    In honor of LL Cool J's new album The FORCE, we profiled The GOAT's film and television career.

    Topics discussed:

    🎞️ He has a more broad TV and film resume than you realize.

    🛟 He is too popular with audiences to die, therefore you don't see that in his work.

    🎤 He has become an ambassador for hip hop as well as mentor figure in both music and the entertainment industry at large.

  • Did the Pajama Jammie Jam make House Party 2 better than the original?
    Sep 11 2024

    Kid is now in college, backed by a scholarship provided by his community, which has rallied around him following the untimely death of Pops. But that scholarship and his status as a student is in jeopardy, can he and Play save the day with a Pajama Jammie Jam?!

    Topics discussed:

    2️⃣ This sequel doesn't reach the bar set by the original, but it did give us the Pajama Jammie Jam.

    🪦 The absence of John Witherspoon and the late Robin Harris (other than for flashbacks) leave a huge void in this film.

    🎤 Queen Latifah brings a conscious element and shows off her rapping chops as Zora.

    🕺🏻 Kid N Play's dancing and rapping are on display yet again, but we were left wanting more.

    💿 The movie's soundtrack features some great old school classics, many of which aren't on the soundtrack album.
