Like you never left. [00:02:01] Speaker B: I know. [00:02:02] Speaker C: I see you representing the gang. [00:02:05] Speaker B: No, you're not necessarily. I bought this shirt years ago, this shirt, probably ten years old, and it just happened to still be in my closet, and I was like, I ain't. [00:02:16] Speaker A: Got nothing to wear. [00:02:16] Speaker C: That's what I said about these shoes. Well, nice blouse. [00:02:21] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:02:24] Speaker C: Today is Wednesday. This is our list episode where we list something and we give five out of that. What are we talking about today? [00:02:34] Speaker B: Today we are talking about the top five sports movies. Movies that had a sports theme. This was hard. This was hard for me. [00:02:43] Speaker C: It's a lot. I got a question, though. Do documentaries count? Oh, it got to be like, okay, I can put a documentary in there. Okay. All right, good. [00:02:53] Speaker B: My honorable mention list is long because this was hard. [00:03:00] Speaker C: It's a lot of sports movies that I have on mine, too, because it. [00:03:06] Speaker B: Was just stuff that I didn't want to leave out that maybe didn't need to be in the top five. But I wanted to just make sure this was very difficult, and I didn't think it was going to be. [00:03:19] Speaker C: Thought it was going to be an easy task. [00:03:21] Speaker B: What inspired this? I think a lot of conversations inspired this one being the whole LSU USC thing, because I had commented that Kim was running the team like birdie on above the rim. Yeah. And then people saying that her brother was going to come back on the next game, like, joanna, man. So it was just like, oh, my goodness, there's a lot of sports movies out there. So here we are. [00:03:47] Speaker C: You want to do the. [00:03:50] Speaker B: Oh, my number five is debatable. [00:03:53] Speaker C: Okay. [00:03:53] Speaker B: Because. [00:03:54] Speaker C: Debatable as a sports movie. [00:03:55] Speaker B: Yeah. Because a lot of people out here. There. Don't think that this is a sport, but bring it on. [00:04:02] Speaker C: The cheerleading movie, definitely. [00:04:07] Speaker B: They were competitive cheer, so cheerleading is a sport. You can get a letter for it. [00:04:14] Speaker C: In school, they'd compete. [00:04:19] Speaker B: So bring it on. It was during that time when the 90s teen movies, it came out in 2000, but during the 90s teen movies, we got all these. She's all that. [00:04:36] Speaker C: She's all that with the one with Julia Styles and that wack ass. [00:04:42] Speaker B: Damn. That was ten things I hate about you was Julia Styles. [00:04:45] Speaker C: What was the one where she was dancing and she had the boyfriend save the last dance? That was saved the last dance. [00:04:52] Speaker B: So we got all of that. In that time. [00:04:53] Speaker C: In the 90s movies, I didn't watch what? [00:04:57] Speaker B: Some of them were good. [00:04:58] Speaker C: They probably were. But I was a nigger. I was. [00:05:00] Speaker B: Y'all, look, Kim was in. She's all that. [00:05:03] Speaker C: Yeah, because she was the black friend. What movie was it? No, that was the movie with Chris Brown. [00:05:10] Speaker B: She was judge. You're in the hood now, baby. Well, that was the gap commercial. Never mind. [00:05:17] Speaker C: Look, Kim was in a gap commercial. [00:05:19] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what she said in the commercial. You're in the hood now, baby. But she was talking about hoodies. But anyway, Gabrielle Union was the black friend in a lot of these movies being, bring it on. She was the other side. The black chili on the other side. Along with Natari from power. No, black. The group. [00:05:42] Speaker C: Black also is more than one black in NATO. [00:05:45] Speaker B: Yeah, well, was because she gone. He's the one that took foxy brown. Took Foxy Brown. Boyfriend. [00:05:56] Speaker C: I didn't know she had a boyfriend. I just remember her brother, and they. [00:06:01] Speaker B: Made a song about it. [00:06:02] Speaker C: Who black did. [00:06:03] Speaker B: The girl from black and Foxy brown. [00:06:05] Speaker C: But she was on the ghetto. Oh, DJ. I mean, not DJ corrupt. She was on the black squad. Yeah, I got you. [00:06:16] Speaker B: Okay, well, there weren't no black girls on the white squad, clovers. [00:06:21] Speaker C: Except for Gabrielle, right? [00:06:22] Speaker B: No, she was with black girls. She was the clovers. [00:06:26] Speaker C: Oh, the black girls were the. Gotcha. I got you. All right. [00:06:32] Speaker B: The Clovers and the Toros. [00:06:36] Speaker C: That was their mascots, because Gabrielle Union had that. She wore that for Halloween last year. Year before last. Yeah. So that's debatable. Email us, [email protected]. Was that a sports movie? Cheerleading is a sport. Well, I got a caveat on one of mine as it being a sports movie. My number one. Okay, so my number five. It's a lot of stories that come from this movie, one of which being the fight scene was real between ll and Jamie Foxx and the movie I'm referring to is any given Sunday, it was that De Niro. Pacino in that movie. De Niro. Which one of them is in that movie? [00:07:18] Speaker B: Just de Niro. Right. [00:07:20] Speaker C: I think that's De Niro. I was getting them too mixed up. Any given Sunday, Al Pacino. Damn, that's Al Pacino. Yeah. So it was Al Pacino. Al Pacino. I always get them too mixed up. So it's a football movie. It's about Dennis Quaid. And he's like an aging quarterback. And the upcoming quarterback is a young Jamie Foxx named Willie. Willie Beeman. He keeps the ladies, ladies steaming. Bill Bellamy was in it. What's the wide receiver, Tio? I think he was in it. But LL cool J, he was the running back. He was like, running back. Called himself the shock. And something happened in the movie, like behind the scenes or whatever, and he swung on Jamie Foxx in real life and hit him in the face or whatever. That was like, what you call them things, urban legend. That it was real fight and they actually did. [00:08:33] Speaker B: Oh, and they told him to keep the camera rolling. [00:08:35] Speaker C: Yeah. Or something like that. And they kind of confirmed it later on that they really did. He really did hit him or whatever. But, yeah. Damn. It came out in 1999. But that's my number five. Leela Raccoon was in it. Rashon is. [00:08:47] Speaker B: How'd I miss that? [00:08:48] Speaker C: What? She was in it? [00:08:49] Speaker B: No, how'd I miss that movie? I've never seen this. [00:08:51] Speaker C: You never seen any? [00:08:52] Speaker B: Given Sunday and it came out in 99. I can't believe that. [00:08:54] Speaker C: You probably wasn't in the sport. You're not a sports person. [00:08:56] Speaker B: But I'm a movie person. I was watching the white movies back then because remember I just told you I was watching the. [00:09:02] Speaker C: But see, I don't know if this counts more as a white movie or as a sports movie, so maybe that's why. [00:09:11] Speaker B: It could be. [00:09:12] Speaker C: But it was a good movie, though. I enjoyed it especially. It made my top five. So that's my number five. Any given Sunday. What's your number four? [00:09:20] Speaker B: My number four is a league of their own. [00:09:23] Speaker C: Of course yours is filled. Your movies are filled with estrogen. [00:09:27] Speaker B: No, it's really not. But this one kind of hits special because my mama loved this movie like VHS. This movie came out 1992. [00:09:37] Speaker C: Your mom played softball? She did. [00:09:40] Speaker B: Her and my daddy softball. Like with the club? Yeah. [00:09:44] Speaker C: What do you mean with the clubs? [00:09:46] Speaker B: With the club. Like if it was a club's team. So they played for the red barn. [00:09:50] Speaker C: The red barn had a. [00:09:54] Speaker B: So, um, that's some local stuff, y'all. [00:09:57] Speaker C: How long ago? [00:09:59] Speaker B: When was the last time they played? I was little. I was probably like. Last time they played had been like 84, 80. [00:10:07] Speaker C: You remember? [00:10:09] Speaker B: I remember watching them play, like, being out there at the field. [00:10:14] Speaker C: Okay. How much younger than your parents are you? [00:10:18] Speaker B: My mama was 36 when she had me. [00:10:21] Speaker C: Oh, okay, so your mama older than my mama. [00:10:28] Speaker B: Old parents. [00:10:29] Speaker C: Okay. Anyway, a league of their own softball movie. [00:10:33] Speaker B: Yeah. So of course women couldn't play, but all of the men were being shipped off to war. [00:10:39] Speaker C: Okay. [00:10:40] Speaker B: And the big wigs needed a way to make money, so they was like, how about we let the women play? So here comes the women's softball league. Now, the crazy thing about this movie is I fell in love with it before I became woke because I probably wouldn't like it now. [00:10:57] Speaker C: Why not? [00:10:58] Speaker B: They didn't like to let black women would play. Okay, so there is an actual scene in the movie where some black women were at the game and a ball rolled out into off close to the stands and a black woman picked it up and they was like, oh. Thinking that she couldn't do it. And they were like, oh, just toss it. And she launched that motherfucker. And she gave a head nod like, yeah, black women can do it too, bitch. [00:11:23] Speaker C: But, you know, that's them putting that in there, letting you know. I think that's a nod to the black women there that they should have let them play. Yeah, I guess because they could have just had to throw it. How y'all do? [00:11:37] Speaker B: What? Try to hit somebody with what you mean? [00:11:39] Speaker C: You know, y'all can't, though. Women can't. But no, it's the iconic line in that movie. [00:11:46] Speaker B: What? Baseball? There's no crying in baseball. [00:11:49] Speaker C: That's the only thing I know about. Wasn't Madonna in that movie? [00:11:51] Speaker B: Madonna? Yeah, Madonna was in it. Tom Hanks is the coach, of course, Jimmy Dugan. The most popular person in the movie was Gina Davis. [00:12:01] Speaker C: Gina. [00:12:01] Speaker B: Which was the main character, Dottie. [00:12:03] Speaker C: Gina Davis, more popular than Madonna in that. Bigger. [00:12:09] Speaker B: In terms of who had the bigger role. But yeah, Rosie O'Donnell was in it. [00:12:14] Speaker C: Rosie was the catcher, ain't it? [00:12:17] Speaker B: Was. [00:12:17] Speaker C: She seemed like she'd be the catcher. [00:12:20] Speaker B: Yeah, she was. She really was. Yeah, she good. [00:12:26] Speaker C: I've never watched that movie, but it's crazy. I know all of that, but it. [00:12:31] Speaker B: Was a good movie. [00:12:32] Speaker C: Well, keeping in line of the diamond baseball, one of mine, it takes me back to kid times keeping in line with baseball. It was the bad news bears. [00:12:45] Speaker B: Okay. [00:12:47] Speaker C: It was about a team of misfits playing baseball. It was an old movie. I want to think maybe I like this movie because of Mayo, because they had the same color mayo, the golden bear. It was yellow and black, the colors. One of the kids had his own dirt bike, and he was like a ruffian. Poor kid. I want to say Walter math. I was the coach of that team, but just a team. [00:13:20] Speaker B: This movie came out in 76. [00:13:22] Speaker C: Yeah. So I watched it when? In the 80s. Used to come on TNT all the time. A TBS, maybe, but that was one of my favorite movies back in the day, growing up. The bad news bears. And then the guy that played as the kid that rode the bike, the dirt bike, he shows up in my number three movie, which we won't get into that, but he plays a part in that. And he was in another movie, too, recently that I watched. He's cleaned himself up. But, yeah, that's my number three bad news bed. [00:13:57] Speaker B: I wonder who it was, because my number three is also a baseball movie. [00:14:02] Speaker C: Jesus Christ. [00:14:05] Speaker B: Major league. Major league is so goddamn funny. And I probably should not have been watching this movie as a child when it came out because of some of the things that's in it. But, yes. Love this movie. It's about a guy who. A team who was struggling. The Cleveland Indians, who are now the Cleveland Guardians. What? [00:14:31] Speaker C: Yeah. They changed the name the Guardians. Yeah. Because of racism. [00:14:37] Speaker B: What? I did not know that. They don't even. They could have chosen another animal. Oh, shit. An Indian ain't an Jesus. [00:14:53] Speaker C: I ain't used this one in a while. Let me see. [00:15:00] Speaker B: Well, you know what I mean? They could have chose, like, a mascot. [00:15:06] Speaker C: If I can find it. Keep talking. [00:15:08] Speaker B: Anyway, this movie. Explain shit to you. [00:15:12] Speaker C: I ain't used that one in a long time. [00:15:15] Speaker B: Oh, God. This man gonna always be Nino brown to me. Wesley Snipes is in it. [00:15:22] Speaker C: What was his name? Hayes. [00:15:23] Speaker B: Willie Maze. [00:15:24] Speaker C: Willie Maze Hayes. Yeah. Wasn't Charlie Sheen. [00:15:28] Speaker B: Charlie Sheen, yeah. He was Ricky Vaughn who had. They thought he was like, this wild child person, and that was his nickname on the field, like, whenever he came. [00:15:39] Speaker C: Out, because wild thing. [00:15:41] Speaker B: No, wild thing was playing, but he just couldn't see. So that guy has some glasses and he was good to go. But it was about, of course, if that organization continued to do bad, the. [00:15:55] Speaker C: Allstate nigga was in there, right? He played a voodoo. He played a Haitian or something. Yeah. But if they continue to do bad, what? [00:16:01] Speaker B: They were going to shut the team down? The owner wanted them to purposely lose. So that she could move the team to another place. But once they found out the team, which did suck. Got together to be good. So they actually went to practice and became a good team. [00:16:21] Speaker C: I never really watched this movie. But it used to come on all the time. So I picked up bits and pieces of it. [00:16:27] Speaker B: It is very funny. [00:16:28] Speaker C: Yeah, because they had a part two. [00:16:31] Speaker B: Yeah, part two wasn't that good. I didn't watch the part two. The part two had Omar Epps as the son. The black man. [00:16:41] Speaker C: There's only one black man. Oh, you know what? Speaking of baseball. And I should have added this, but I don't know if it's. They make a lot of good baseball movies. Because Rookie of the year. [00:16:52] Speaker B: I told you this was a hard list to put together. [00:16:54] Speaker C: Was that on your. [00:16:56] Speaker B: It's not on my list. [00:16:56] Speaker C: Yeah, I forgot about Rookie of the year. [00:16:58] Speaker B: Very hard list to put together. [00:16:59] Speaker C: I forgot my lucky seeds. A lot of people use heat. A lot of people use ICE. But me, what I like to use is hot ICE. That was the dude from home alone played that part. Anyway. So that's your number? [00:17:16] Speaker B: That was my three. [00:17:17] Speaker C: Number three. Like I said, my number three had my man. He played a part in it. His name is Jackie Earl Haley. Who played the kid that had the dirt bike. And he was in a lot of movies. But he played in the watchman. The movie that came out in 2009. Oh, he was on a nightmare on Elm street. He was in a lot of stuff. Shutter island. But anyway, he played in semi pro. And he was like the local high person. And one of the promos they had for semi pro was they were giving away like $10,000 or something. $100,000 for somebody to make a shot from half court. Because they were trying to drum up things. Because the semi pro was based in the 70s. It was like before the NBA was like how big? It was. Like the ABA and the NBA. And the semi pro team was the ABA team. I think it was the Indiana tropics. [00:18:22] Speaker B: The Flint. [00:18:23] Speaker C: Flint tropics. Yeah, the Flint tropics. Yeah. And they were trying to join with the NBA. To make the big league or whatever. And so he got my man there. He all high. He didn't think he was going to do it. And he like shocked him and woke him up and all that. He was all high. He just threw the ball up in the air and made it. And Jake was like, oh, you got a big check. A big check for $10,000. Because he didn't have the money. You know what saying I'm. Because it was his team. But he had a song called Love me Sexy. He was like trying to be a singer and all of that, too. He was like real popular in the city. [00:18:58] Speaker B: Very hilarious movie. [00:19:00] Speaker C: Who else was in the movie? Andre 3000 was in the movie. D Ray was in the movie. [00:19:07] Speaker B: We had a lot of. [00:19:08] Speaker C: Bruce Willis was in the movie. Wasn't it Bruce Willis. Who was the ball headed? [00:19:16] Speaker B: Woody. [00:19:17] Speaker C: Woody. Woody was in the movie. [00:19:18] Speaker B: Woody Harrison. [00:19:18] Speaker C: Woody Harrelson was in the movie. [00:19:20] Speaker B: Yeah, Patty LaBelle had a part, but it's a Tim Meadows, you know, wherever that fool go, he gonna cut up. [00:19:27] Speaker C: It was a funny ass movie. Basketball movie, but event. Well, we know that the Flint tropics never made it to the NBA. But they play like San Antonio and stuff. They play like a lot of the other ABA teams. They had them in there, but kind of the same thing. Like he needed them to win. So they could be good enough to make it into the league. Because he wanted that. Because he owned the team. Jackie Moon. But, yeah, it was a good sports movie. So that's my number three semi pro. Go check. If you ain't seen none of these movies, go check them out. What's your number two? [00:20:00] Speaker B: So you know it was coming. You know it was coming. [00:20:02] Speaker C: What? [00:20:03] Speaker B: My number two is loving basketball is not on my list. [00:20:09] Speaker C: I wasn't even thinking about Joanna man. [00:20:12] Speaker B: No, what? [00:20:12] Speaker C: He is Charlote and Joanna man. [00:20:14] Speaker B: Yes. Joanna, man, was based out of Charlote. [00:20:16] Speaker C: Which movie now is totally problematic to have. Oh, my God, that's a problematic movie. And they even use that Joanna man term. As a pejorative. As a negative term toward women basketball players. [00:20:33] Speaker B: So Jamal Jeffries, played by Miguel Nunez, Jr. Say Niez. [00:20:39] Speaker C: You got to say Niez. [00:20:41] Speaker B: Nunez. Nunez. [00:20:42] Speaker C: Niega. You gotta say Nunez. [00:20:45] Speaker B: Kim. Lil Kim was his girlfriend in the movie. [00:20:49] Speaker C: Okay. [00:20:50] Speaker B: But of course, she just wanted the money. Because as soon as he got cut, this nigga was horrible. [00:20:56] Speaker C: So he played for the Hornets. [00:20:58] Speaker B: It wasn't the Hornets, was it? I think it was a made up team. [00:21:01] Speaker C: No, but he went to the comments, though, right? What team did he play for? Let me see. [00:21:11] Speaker B: As a woman, as a man. I think it was a made up team. I don't think it was the actual hornets. [00:21:18] Speaker C: Oh, this came in. [00:21:21] Speaker B: Anyway. He was a horrible nigger. His ego was out of the way, out of control. His team ended up cutting him. And he got the idea that, okay. [00:21:31] Speaker C: Yeah, the Charlote team he played for was the Charlote beat. Which was a made up team. Okay. [00:21:37] Speaker B: That he would play on a women's team. [00:21:40] Speaker C: Okay. [00:21:41] Speaker B: And all he did was slapped on a wig and some foundation, and they clearly could not tell that he was still a woman. [00:21:48] Speaker C: In the words of the gays, he didn't get clocked. [00:21:50] Speaker B: Yes. [00:21:52] Speaker C: Both of the teams were made up. I'm sorry. The Charlote Banshees. [00:21:55] Speaker B: The Banshees, yes. [00:21:56] Speaker C: Was the WBA team. [00:22:01] Speaker B: So of course he joins his team and he has his challenges, trying to actually pretend to be a woman. And they was winning until he started falling in love with Vivica Fox, because. [00:22:14] Speaker C: Vivica was on the team. This before she took a knife to her face. [00:22:22] Speaker B: One of my favorite lines, because Tommy Davidson was the love interest. He wanted him a piece of Joanna. [00:22:30] Speaker C: Did he say the line, that's a tall glass of water and I'm thirsty. Okay. [00:22:36] Speaker B: Yeah, but he country. [00:22:42] Speaker C: Shout out, three, five, seven. You know our homie used to say that, right? That was. Our homie used to say that line all the time. [00:22:48] Speaker B: Who? [00:22:49] Speaker C: Our homie. [00:22:50] Speaker B: Who's homie? [00:22:51] Speaker C: Our homie. I'm not saying names. [00:22:54] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:22:56] Speaker C: The homie who ain't in the group no more. They used to say that we used to work together. Shout out to the homie. [00:23:04] Speaker B: But, yeah, that's one of my favorite parts of the movie at the end. [00:23:09] Speaker C: A lot of women like that movie. We shouldn't now, back then, a lot of. Because I don't know too many dudes who really like that movie. Too many. But a lot of y'all like that movie. Y'all is going to be ongoing thing. It was a good movie. Well, keeping it in line of basketball, okay. It's only so many sports, so we don't be in line this movie. I don't feel like a lot of people really paid attention to this movie, but as far as gameplay, because the storyline of the movies really be the main driving force of a lot of these sports movies. And if you really look at how they playing the sport, it looked kind of so like, you could tell they really didn't make that shot and stuff like that. But in this movie, it's called Hustle. [00:23:59] Speaker B: Okay? [00:24:00] Speaker C: It's one of Adam Sandler's serious roles. Now, he has a black wife in the movie. [00:24:06] Speaker B: He hoop for real, don't he? [00:24:08] Speaker C: Yeah, he played basketball for real, but he's not playing. He's kind of like a scout or agent trying to find people, and he goes, I forgot what country he's in in the movie. But he finds this guy. He's like a construction worker, but he plays basketball. He found him playing basketball, playing street ball, and he could tell the guy could play for real and kind of coaches him up. And the guy eventually makes it to the NBA, one of his nemesis. So the guy that he gets to go, I want to say this guy, he makes it to the NBA, and his nemesis is in the NBA, and he's an actor. So the guy he gets name is Bo Cruz, but his real name is Wancho Hernan Gomez. And his nemesis is Anthony Edwards, who's kind of like a star in the league now. So when the movie came out, Anthony Edwards was young, younger, in the league. Like, he wasn't really a big star yet, but now he's like a big star. They say he's like Michael Jordan, illegitimate son and shit. But it's a lot of stars in the movie. [00:25:25] Speaker B: Latifah's in this. [00:25:26] Speaker C: She plays his wife. [00:25:27] Speaker B: Get out. [00:25:28] Speaker C: Yeah, she plays his wife. [00:25:29] Speaker B: Wow. [00:25:31] Speaker C: But it's a real good movie. And I said that when I first watched, I was like, yo, this is the best basketball movie, period. And I don't know if any of the basketball movies are in your anymore. [00:25:43] Speaker B: They don't. Basketball movie. [00:25:44] Speaker C: Okay. But, like, the actual basketball, the stars, the game. Yeah, it's a good movie. It's a real good movie. And they actually had, like, real basketball players playing open run in one of the scenes. And that's part of the reason why the basketball gameplay looks so authentic. [00:26:07] Speaker B: That's what I'm looking, going through the list of the actual basketball players who are in the movie. Okay. And this is 2022. [00:26:14] Speaker C: Yeah. And it came out in the COVID time, so it's not too far too long ago, the way it looks bad or whatever. [00:26:21] Speaker B: Oh, LeBron got his hand in this. [00:26:23] Speaker C: Oh, he. All right. But, yeah, look at all the names that's in it. Shaq, Charles Barkley, Chris Matthews is in it. The guy from, I think, CNN, Mark. [00:26:33] Speaker B: Jackson, Steph Curry, Sinez Ernie. [00:26:35] Speaker C: Beanie Siegel is in it. I don't remember. Tierra Wack is a dark skinned rapper. What? [00:26:42] Speaker B: She's real successful, ain't she? [00:26:44] Speaker C: She's in a movie. But she was like, you know, sport. But if y'all haven't seen this movie, come back to me after you watch this movie and tell me, what's a better basketball movie than this? Your boy Luca is in it. Luca Doncic, who's, like, probably one of the biggest international basketball stars out now. So that's my number two movie. Just a great story. And then along with. Because with sports movies, a lot of times you'll get, like, a good story, but the game played athleticism in the actual scenes. Yeah, you could tell I'll never watch remember the Titans just because I don't think they could get the sport. Football movies are hard to do because it's hard to replicate actual action football action on the field or whatever. But anyway, that's my. [00:27:48] Speaker B: Well, speaking of movies that got the athleticism wrong. [00:27:53] Speaker C: Okay. [00:27:53] Speaker B: My number one is above the rim. [00:27:56] Speaker C: And I didn't want to mention that because I figured that might. [00:27:59] Speaker B: I love above the rim. [00:28:02] Speaker C: Now, Leon could really play ball in that movie because it was some scenes where he was dribling, and when he was by himself, he hooped. [00:28:08] Speaker B: Now you can tell he. [00:28:16] Speaker C: Could hoop. I don't know about Marlin Mota. That was his name in that. I have that DVD unopened at my house right now. [00:28:24] Speaker B: I have it opened because I was watching that motherfucker. [00:28:26] Speaker C: That's my movie. I got it because at the time when Hollywood video was, like, so it was, like, on sale for, like, $5. And so I bought it, but I never had to open it, because. On streaming or whatever. But go ahead. [00:28:41] Speaker B: Yeah. So, Kyle Watson is a Dwayne Martin. Of course. He is a high school basketball player who is phenomenal. He wants to go to college. His mom, single mom, work all the time. Dwayne, Kyle wants to get put on, of course, but a local hood. How do you explain birdie? [00:29:05] Speaker C: A local hood. [00:29:06] Speaker B: That's what he used to call a local businessman. Birdie played by Tupac. They do this street ball. [00:29:12] Speaker C: Bandana. Wearing tupac. [00:29:14] Speaker B: Yes. [00:29:14] Speaker C: Okay. [00:29:15] Speaker B: Thick bandana. Wearing tupac. This was 94. [00:29:19] Speaker C: So maybe he was wearing the bandana then. [00:29:22] Speaker B: Yes, because this is 1990. [00:29:24] Speaker C: Maybe he was wearing the band. But the vest, I don't know if he. [00:29:26] Speaker B: Well, he had the vest on in this movie. [00:29:29] Speaker C: He did. So maybe they did get it right. [00:29:33] Speaker B: It wasn't the tight leather vest. It was a large denim vest. [00:29:38] Speaker C: So maybe they did get that bandana. Right, because he was wearing that bandana. [00:29:42] Speaker B: Right. The bandana was very slim and anorexic in BMF. But anyway, so Tupac plays birdie. There's a basketball tournament coming up. Tupac want birdie. I mean, sorry. Birdie want Kyle to play in his tournament on his team. Yeah, because he builds this team. However, Kyle's basketball coach, high school basketball coach, has a team. [00:30:01] Speaker C: And see stuff like this back then, I don't remember stuff like this being local. So it looked different to me, because I don't think they weren't doing this type of stuff basketball wise around here. I don't remember local. [00:30:18] Speaker B: I didn't see it. [00:30:19] Speaker C: Local street basketball things. But up north, they were doing that kind of stuff, like the hood. People have their own team, and they would play in the schools. You know what I'm saying? So people would play outside of their school teams. Like around here, it was only, you play for your school team. Wasn't no AAU, wasn't no extra tournament type shit. It was just school, and that was it. But go ahead. I'm sorry. [00:30:41] Speaker B: So, however, birdie's brother Shep, played by Leon, is a security guard at the school and friends with or played for Kyle's coach. So him and the coaches in good. But Kyle get mad at coach. He's. Yeah, birdie, I'm gonna play with y'all. Y'all got money, drugs. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna play with y'all. [00:31:03] Speaker C: Because he offered him money to play with. Yeah. Yeah. Which is illegal back then. [00:31:08] Speaker B: So here. Know, they got this whole dynamic going. The bum, played by Bernie Mac, they killed him. [00:31:16] Speaker C: Anyway, don't tell the story. [00:31:18] Speaker B: Some people may have. Y'all ain't seen a ball. [00:31:20] Speaker C: May not have seen it. Nick, shout out to Neek. Neek is on her black movie. On her black movie journey. [00:31:27] Speaker B: I think she's seen above the rim yet, though. [00:31:29] Speaker C: She just saw Blue Hill. Was it Sugar Hill or Blue Hill Avenue? [00:31:33] Speaker B: I think it's Blue Hill Avenue now. That's one I haven't seen yet. [00:31:36] Speaker C: Really? [00:31:36] Speaker B: Yeah. That one just didn't curl right. [00:31:39] Speaker C: The only reason I saw is, I want to say, because of L and Ace, they put me on because they were Blue Hill Avenue, but I'm like, Neek paid in full is way better than Blue Hill Avenue. [00:31:51] Speaker B: But anyway, so anyway, so I won't tell the rest of the movie. That's just the premise of it. Basketball. Marlin plays his best friend, plays Kyle's. [00:32:01] Speaker C: Best friend, who was boogaloo, who was down with. [00:32:04] Speaker B: Yes. He was down with birdie and his crew. Same age, just different paths. [00:32:09] Speaker C: And if you haven't seen this movie, it's something that birdie's character does that got trained. Because this is why I feel like a lot of people say, like, music. Well, he's an artist, though. But a lot of people started doing one thing that Tupac did in this movie. I started seeing people doing it at school after he did it. Yeah, I was seeing people with it at school girls and boys. Yeah, they were doing this at school. [00:32:34] Speaker B: I was seeing people, like, talking about going to the club and doing it. Are we talking about the same thing? [00:32:38] Speaker C: Yes, probably so at school. Yeah, they would have it at school. [00:32:43] Speaker B: Now you see why we talk about dollars in like this. [00:32:49] Speaker C: We got it honest. We got it honest. But, yeah, you say that. Yeah, I was seeing people do that at school. [00:32:55] Speaker B: Wow. [00:32:55] Speaker C: And this came out in 94. So I was in middle school. [00:32:58] Speaker B: And what I love about this movie is it embodies the shoes. The shoes, the fashion, the music. [00:33:05] Speaker C: Because they was riding around in like a rodeo. It's Uzu trooper or some shit. [00:33:10] Speaker B: Everybody wanted that. Well, people I knew. [00:33:14] Speaker C: Yeah, everybody wanted a trooper, a rodeo, a Pathfinder. [00:33:21] Speaker B: Pathfinder. [00:33:22] Speaker C: All of those things was out around that time. I can't remember which one they were riding around, but they were riding around when one of the early SUVs. [00:33:28] Speaker B: So it is so ninety S. And to answer your question, because on Jones show last week, you all was talking about the song. Holly, if you hear me, one of the most memorable things about this song, holly, if you hear me is the trailer for this movie. [00:33:42] Speaker C: Oh. [00:33:42] Speaker B: Because it was playing in the trailer. So when they were showing the little shots of them playing basketball and stuff. [00:33:48] Speaker C: And part of that trailer, them playing basketball, and we talk about horrible gameplay and editing and continuity in movies and stuff. One of the things was one guy, I want to say, he wore number 50. He threw a pass, length of the court pass to himself. He catches in and dunks it backwards. [00:34:12] Speaker B: And Leon shot the same shot several times. [00:34:15] Speaker C: Yeah. So that's a part of the horrible basketball and sports. So now my number 1 May, y'all can debate me on it because I have two of these in it. But my number one is a documentary. [00:34:31] Speaker B: Okay. [00:34:33] Speaker C: One documentary that it gets has been memed a lot and started a lot of debates. It even ended friendships and teammates. Friendships. [00:34:42] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:34:43] Speaker C: There's even a tour that's going on right now based on some things that were said in this documentary. And it's the last dance, the story of the Chicago Bulls. Have you watched the last dance yet? [00:34:55] Speaker B: I haven't. But what friendships ended, basically the Scottie. [00:35:00] Speaker C: Pipp and Michael Jordan friendship. So me and Scottie Pippen have some things in common, aside from wearing Nikes. We have a back issue. And one of the things that it talked about was how one of the series, Scotty couldn't really play because his back was hurting so bad. So they was like, well, we're going to just. And he jammed his back early in the game, like Duncan or something like that. I've done the same thing, playing like, baseball or softball, sliding, and I felt it, you know what I'm saying? So you really can't do nothing. But it was like, well, we're going to just put you out there just as a decoy, because if you're not in there, they're going to know that, you know what I'm saying? So Scottie Pippett took it as them making him look weak, right? But Jordan in the documentary was know. I don't know how he know. And so that was part of the documentary. Then another time he had, like, a bad headache. Scottie Pippen had, like, a migraine and couldn't play. So he took that as them making it out for him to be weak. Horace Grant got mad at some things that was in it. He was in the first three peat for the bulls. Those are some of the things that was in it. But he kind of, like, told a story. Like, one of the things you got from is like, you hear stories about Jordan gambling and stuff, but you really didn't know how much Jordan gamble until you saw him pitching quarters behind the scenes at the arena with the security guards. They were just pitching quarters for like $20. Jordan would gamble on anything. They would have, like, big gambling games on the back of the plane, on the team plane for big money. So he win, and then he'll go to the front of the plane and gamble for some of the players who didn't make all that money, but he would gamble like dollars. [00:36:48] Speaker B: That's an addiction. [00:36:52] Speaker C: One of the players was. I want to say it was like Steve Ker or something. You make all this money, why you playing us? We only playing for like a dollar, $2, whatever. He was like, because I want to have your money in my pocket. It was shit like that. Then it kind of told a story of his father passing and all of that. And it just told a whole lot of stories about the time when he got in the league leading up to when he retired and when they won their last championship. One of the stories was that, let me know. Jordan really was like a psychopath. So it was one guy that played for the Washington at the time, I think it was the Washington Bullets. So they played the Bulls, and they played like, Tuesday night. They were going to play them again on that Wednesday night. It was back to back games. So the guy scored like 30 points on Jordan. And Jordan told a story like the guy said was talking trash to Mike. Like he said good game or something in, like a sarcastic way or whatever. So the next night, Jordan was like, took it personal. I took it personal. He talked shit to me or whatever. Jordan came back the next night, score 50 or 60 points against the dude. Right? Come to find out, the dude never said anything to Michael. [00:38:12] Speaker B: Wow. [00:38:12] Speaker C: Like, he just made it up, and he made it up in his mind so that he could go extra hard at that dude the next night. That's the type of dude he was. But I really enjoyed it. Anytime I'm about to go play ball or something, I might put that on and watch it. We even did a recap of it. Me, Cl, and Yoshi are the last. [00:38:38] Speaker B: Black woman was putting. I see why Juanita got the fuck on. [00:38:45] Speaker C: Well, his thing was like, he was in the gym. A don't. I don't know anybody who could have did what he did, because they say he would be out all night drinking, smoking or whatever, and then the next day it would be like, nothing would happen. He'll score 30 points. Nobody could keep up with him. But that was my number one because I've seen it several times. But it's just, man. And it's nostalgic because that was back when everybody had WGN and a lot of the kids my age. Favorite team was the Bulls. So that's know the games. We could watch the Bulls. You know what of, like, that's part of the reason why a lot of people my age was team was the Bulls. They were winning, but their games always came on. The Chicago White Sox and the Cubs games always came on. So you got a lot of Cubs and White Sox fans. A lot of niggas. Gds, too. So that's why they were White Sox. Shit. But then the Braves, a lot of people are Braves fans because TBS play all of the. Those are. That's my number one. Now y'all email us. [email protected]. Am I cheating? Because that's not a movie. Movie. But who are some of your honorable mentions? Because I got a bunch. [00:40:07] Speaker B: I got a bunch. Okay. Mine go from space jam. [00:40:13] Speaker C: Space jam is on mine. [00:40:14] Speaker B: White man can't jump. [00:40:15] Speaker C: That's on mine, too, coach Carter. Ooh, I didn't put that. I forgot about that. Okay. Yeah. Because that was in Richmond, California, not Richmond, Virginia, niggas. [00:40:24] Speaker B: Sunset Park. [00:40:26] Speaker C: I forgot about that one. That was another basketball movie, right? [00:40:28] Speaker B: That almost made the top. [00:40:30] Speaker C: Okay. Okay. [00:40:31] Speaker B: Love Sunset park. Them old niggas playing teenagers. But that came out during the time when we had the white savior movies where the white savior. Go into the hood and turn these hooligans life around. [00:40:46] Speaker C: One of mine is cool. Runnings. Feel it. They read that. Feel it. Little giants. I like that movie because the uniforms the kids had on were like the uniforms that NFL. Yeah. So they had the Giants team and the cowboy looking team or whatever. The longest yard, the original with Burt Reynolds and a whole bunch of other actors. They were in jail and they had a football team playing against the guards. And the football team was called a mean machine and they redid it. And your boy Tracy Morgan put on a dress. I think Nelly played in it and Adam Sandler was in it, too. Yeah, but they redid it. Did you say white men can't jump? [00:41:42] Speaker B: I did. [00:41:43] Speaker C: Okay. [00:41:44] Speaker B: The first one. [00:41:45] Speaker C: Yeah, the first one, I didn't watch the second one. [00:41:48] Speaker B: It's not bad. [00:41:49] Speaker C: Your boy in it. You know that's your boy, right? I do, but it's not bad, though. Is it better than the second version of coming to America? [00:42:01] Speaker B: No, it's not better than coming to America. I liked the second version of I. [00:42:05] Speaker C: Thought it was bad because the original coming to America plot and shit was ridiculous. [00:42:09] Speaker B: Yeah, I like the second coming to America. [00:42:11] Speaker C: I think people have the original coming to America so high they forget that a lot of that shit is ridiculous. So they said the shit on this was ridiculous. But anyway. [00:42:20] Speaker B: But I've never seen white man can't jump. Wasn't bad. Tiana Taylor played the love interest, which would have been the Tyra. Oh, what's Tyra's last name? She was Wesley Snipes wife in the first one. Her real name is Tyra something, but it wasn't bad. [00:42:39] Speaker C: Now, one movie that's on my honorable mention list, they came to my know, because if you make a movie in that realm, you got to come to my city because we big dogs in that arena, which is not talladating nights. Days of thunder. [00:42:59] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:43:00] Speaker C: Days of thunder came. Sport racing, and they came to Darlington. [00:43:07] Speaker B: The track too tough to tame. [00:43:08] Speaker C: The lady in black, if you will. Cold trickle. It was big news. It was like somebody was like, I just saw Tom Cruise at Burger King. I was about seven years old back then, but yeah, no, yeah, that shit came out in like 88, 80. [00:43:28] Speaker B: Oh, you know what you said Talladega nights, I'm thinking about. [00:43:31] Speaker C: No, I said Days of thunder, but not Talladega nights. Talladega nights. They didn't shoot Talladega. [00:43:37] Speaker B: Okay. Because that's Ricky Bobby, right? [00:43:39] Speaker C: Yeah, that's Ricky Bobby. [00:43:40] Speaker B: Okay. [00:43:40] Speaker C: Yeah. You got any more on 1990. Oh, it's 90. So I was like, now chub rock. [00:43:48] Speaker B: Jumped upon the creed. I liked all the creeds. I did not watch any of them until Creed three came out. Like, we had to binge one, two and then go see three. [00:43:59] Speaker C: At the time, I've only seen two, and that's the worst one for me because that movie came out, like, right after my father passed. And it was a scene where he go to the gravesite, nigga, I was in the movies about to use bank. [00:44:11] Speaker B: Head bounce a minute. [00:44:12] Speaker C: No, I was about to. I was like, God damn, I had a fine woman shout out to her, lord, she's so fine. Anyway, go ahead. [00:44:18] Speaker B: But yeah, I liked them. I liked all three of them. Even in the third one, I did not feel bad for. [00:44:26] Speaker C: Who was the guy? It was Jonathan Majors. Yeah, I haven't seen it. [00:44:32] Speaker B: Yeah, I ain't really know points were made, so I didn't feel like he was a villain. I mean, he was a villain, but he was a villain that you like. [00:44:39] Speaker C: Okay, speaking of boxing, Ali, this is on my honorable mention list. Another boxing movie was great white hype. When that's on, I probably will stop. [00:44:52] Speaker B: Samuel. [00:44:53] Speaker C: Samuel. Jamie Foxx is in it. Damon Wayans plays the veteran. I forgot that bald headed dude name, but he was in stuff back in that time. But, yeah, man, those are some. [00:45:06] Speaker B: One more. [00:45:07] Speaker C: Okay, the blind side. Girl get. [00:45:12] Speaker B: Girl, shut the fuck up. I ain't got to explain. Before we knew the truth, the blind side was a great movie. Before we know the truth. [00:45:20] Speaker C: No, I knew something was up with that movie because what white women going to teach a man. I never watched that movie. What white man woman going to teach a kid about being an offensive fucking lineman? And then the sun, and they had him acting so retarded. Yeah, fuck that movie. Fuck that movie. You're going to talk shit about a league of their own, and you're going to sit here and the last movie we're going to talk about is the blind fucking side. He even hate that movie. Damn. [00:45:55] Speaker B: I said before the truth came out. [00:46:02] Speaker C: He'S suing them muffins, too. Oh, and then you did mention Talladega nights, but, yeah, that's on my list, too. But it's a whole bunch of movies. [00:46:08] Speaker B: I didn't realize it was so many. [00:46:10] Speaker C: It's a lot of sports movies, man. Airbud, you said space jam. [00:46:16] Speaker B: Did you like the ducks? The mighty Ducks. [00:46:18] Speaker C: Mighty Ducks. That one, boy, he got bad off the little fat one. Oh, yeah, he got bad off after that movie, trying to think. Is it any tennis movies? Oh, the. Serena. [00:46:31] Speaker B: Serena. [00:46:31] Speaker C: Yeah, but I never watched that. Let's see. Is any golf movies? Oh, Caddyshack and happy Gilmore. [00:46:39] Speaker B: Where's my caddy? [00:46:41] Speaker C: Oh, that's the black one. They shot part of that in South Carolina, too. Trying to think what other sports? [00:46:49] Speaker B: No. Who's my caddy? [00:46:50] Speaker C: Something like that. [00:46:51] Speaker B: Either way, big boy. [00:46:52] Speaker C: Big boy. [00:46:52] Speaker B: Was this a lot? [00:46:58] Speaker C: A lot? [00:46:59] Speaker B: It's a lot. [00:46:59] Speaker C: Basketball, football, baseball, hockey, tennis, golf, cheerleading. You got me. You shut me. You shut me right on up. [00:47:17] Speaker B: Right there with that Earl the goat man of Gault. Yes, I like that. [00:47:21] Speaker C: That was a good one, too. And there's another documentary, untold malice at the palace. It's a part in that where they talk about Ron artist, like after the fight, and they go to the locker room. Whatever. [00:47:34] Speaker B: Meta. [00:47:35] Speaker C: Was he meta then? [00:47:37] Speaker B: No, he wasn't. But I'm saying you're going to respect his name. His name is Meta. [00:47:40] Speaker C: He might have been running our test, then he was running our test in, but he asked them. He was like, hey, man, you think we're going to get in trouble?
