It's Spooky Season, so we had to do our internet-mandated "horror" episode. So we dug up QUEEN OF THE DAMNED, a horror "musical"(?) featuring songs by Jonathan Davis of Korn and starring none other than Aaliyah. We REALLY try and talk about Aaliyah, but we also talk a lot about Korn's surprising crossovers into the rap world. We do find time to play some FIRE Aaliyah songs though. Anyway enjoy thi...

After getting ROASTED on University of Dope for not having seen 1995's DEAD PRESIDENTS, we finally watched this classic Vietnam epic, starring Sticky Fingaz, Heather B, Larenz Tate, Bokeem Woodbine, Michael Imperioli, Chris Tucker, Keith David, Clifton Powell, Terrence Howard, and many more. Directed by the Hughes Brothers, this was the follow up to their smash MENACE II SOCIETY. This episode give...

Sean came through to discuss D-Shot's film DON'T GET CAUGHT starring E-40, Snoop Dogg, B-Legit, Bushwick Bill, Mike Epps and many more. The music part starts at 1:05 and goes about an hour. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bodegaboxoffice--1441069/support .

Chris from the Bad Wrestling Podcast (@badwrespodcast) came through to talk about that one time in 1999 when Master P, Silk The Shocker and C-Murder all graced the WCW squared circle to do battle with some rap-hating cowboys from Minnesota. It's a lot. It's a wrestling thing so most of the episode is just me asking dumb questions and these two wrestling geniuses being very patient in educating. ht...

We watched the rap musical. We attempt to answer the question of "why" it is rap, and "what" are the weirder implications of giving the founding fathers this treatment. Filmmaker and critic Scout Tafoya (@honors_zombie) joins us to try and figure it out. And Anthony had a baby! So we get to celebrate that before we spend a lot of time well...not celebrating the musical. Some of the best tracks wev...

Abe Beame (@TheFakeAbeBeame) came through to discuss The Carter, the 2008 documentary following Lil Wayne in the portentous months before his greatest success with The Carter III. Its a dark look at his incredible (and incredibly self destructive) creative process at a time when there was literally no one better on the mic. Abe pitched this episode in connection with an article he put together abo...

We finally did it! Nate from the Kings of Sport podcast came through to watch the Outkast musical, IDLEWILD starring Big Boi, Andre 3000, Terrence Howard, Macy Gray and more. We all have strong opinions about Outkast, so we get into our feelings pretty quick on this one. We struggle, but ultimately find a lot to love in this messy masterpiece. We also talk about Da Art of Storytellin' Part 4, and...

For a few short weeks, ESPN's The Last Dance was the best piece of basketball content on the planet. Well here's the second best. We watched 1993's MTV Rock and Jock Basketball. The third annual, which overlaps tidily with The Last Dance. Its got Dan Majerle, Rick Mahorn, Ed Lover, Bill Bellamy, Dan Cortez, Tag Team performing at half time, Jon Stewart in the booth, and most importantly it has Kay...

Watch this movie! It's free on Youtube and it's great. Mack 10 and Fat Joe play one time rivals turned business partners caught between hustling and the creative process. It was produced by Mack 10 himself with some help by Priority Films, and it has everyone in it - Ice Cube, Big Pun, B-Real, Krayzie and Layzie Bone, MC Eiht as a guy who sucks at Taboo, and Mack 10 co-leading with Fat Joe. Become...

HUSTLERS was one of the best films of 2019 and we watched it with our good friend Abbey. We talk a lot about the 2008 financial crash, feature some rappers who were also strippers, and we collectively freak out over THAT scene. You know the one.

The Master of Disguise film starring Dana Carvey has been a longtime running joke between us and Brandon Soderberg, an incredible writer from Baltimore. We always said we'd find a way to talk about it through a rap lens, and April Fools seemed like the right opportunity, given the success of our SPICE WORLD Episode. So that's what we did. We had a conversation that somehow spans 9/11, Toronto Rap,...

We did it! Critic and Filmmaker Scout Tafoya (@honors_zombie) returns to the show to talk about ANACONDA, a 90 minute classic starring Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube. There are too many dick jokes, just enough Jon Voigt impressions, Anthony losing the will to live, a covert CATS podcast (at 55 minutes in) and a TRULY horrid musical drop. You have been warned. Movie part ends and rap part begins at 1:...

We did it! We watched the movie that is long. Action Bronson made his acting debut in the last five seconds of a five hour movie. Sean McTiernan, Irish movie genius and now one of the few non-suspect Yotubers came through to watch and discuss this Action Bronson classic. The episode is also long. Because we are good at podcasting. Watch Sean's Youtube Channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ4k...
