Jihad Lee

In my opinion the best Denzel Film. Hands down! I can rewatch this everytime and still be amazed how he captured Malcolm X. And what a great film from the legendary Spike Lee.

newhastings

Should not be ignored that Malcolm’s desire to be in more proximity to whiteness (the chemical that burns his hair) leaves him face down in the toilet to get caught by police. One of the greatest films ever made, I’m astounded by every aspect of it. Denzel has one of the greatest films performances ever seen.

TheLeftPecOfTheLord

Spike Lee is one of those directors who comes along and just sparks a new wave of filmmaking. You should absolutely watch Do The Right Thing (1989), BlackkKlansman (2018) and Da Five Bloods (2020) as well, they are exceptional and just as hard hitting as this. A generational talent

Jim

paul rai

To echo a similar comment from earlier, absolutely watch Do The Right Thing, BlackKkansman and Da 5 Bloods. Spike Lee, while divisive and inconsistent, is one of those explosive filmmakers that can soar really high when it comes to his filmmaking and production. Do the Right Thing is one of those transformational movies that will never loose its potency in the culture.

Jeff K.

Do The Right Thing is one of the most glaring holes in my filmography viewing. I’ve somehow never seen it, and need to. Also, another Spike movie they should check out: 25th Hour. So good. My favorite of his films, personally.

kelvin

80’s fashion is great. It’s always being referenced, even today. It’s called fashion. LOL 😆

kelvin

This film is a masterpiece. Denzel definitely should have won Best Actor.

Blkm44

I cant wait to see this reaction. One of my favorites

newhastings

I hope ya’ll get around to Do the Right Thing, you will have a brain aneurysm when you see Giancarlo Esposito in it

Jeff K.

Holy shit I just realized the guy playing the judge who sentenced Malcolm to all those 8-10 year sentences is William Kuntsler (a very famous lawyer who defended the Chicago Seven, among others). He was an extremely progressive lawyer who worked with the Black Panther Party, the Revolutionary Communist Party, and so on, and famously refused to represent far right-wing groups because he wouldn’t defend anyone whose cause he didn’t support.

newhastings

glad more people are remembering how many incredible movies spike lee has. so many people wrote him off for that oldboy remake, which i wont defend it is genuinely awful, but it shouldn't erase how solid his filmography is

Chris

I dunno, whatever I might think about what he actually stood for, I'd be worried that I'd oversimplified things if I thought of a righteously angry person raised at the time of Jim Crow as just a racist against white people. I've always found that, rather than judging someone like Malcolm X or Huey Newton on whether they promoted integration, given the US sociopolitical economy of the time I learn a lot more when I think about the reasons they may have thought the way they did.

Gryff

Off topic: Was just looking for Android Night Punch on the website. No dice. Can we get it, please?

Chris

That's not really the point I'm trying to make--more that... I'd feel weird about myself if I looked at pre-Civil Rights era US and spent any time at all thinking it's the people of color doing it wrong here. I'd feel like I was totally missing the point.

blerbaberpaterb

....its almost like people are complicated Jim.... no one only ever makes 100% good points or 100% bad points.... and you dont gotta agree with anything someone says to sympathize..... hes wrong to generalize an entire group of people....but his anger isnt out of no where or unwarranted.....

blerbaberpaterb

.....and for making a film about this man....its easy to make films about a person that people generally agree with.... its much more challenging to make something about a person that a lot of people dont agree with and still convey sympathy.... dont got to agree, but got to sympathize and try to understand where they come from.....

Chris

The film isn't a hagiography--it's not trying to say "Malcolm X had it right and we should all abide by his thoughts"--pre-Civil Rights American is still a living memory for many, many people. And even if it weren't, there's a reason it's worth remembering our history.

Chris

Always appreciate an honest dialogue!

blerbaberpaterb

..... no man... to empathize where his anger stems from.... the whole flaw on everyones side is generalizing and taking one aspect from a people or person and say "thats all they are so i disagree".... without looking deeper and think.... why does he feel that way..... and youre doing exactly that.... you took the thing he says thats wrong and made that all he is.... but no person is just one thing and one thought..... and no person just comes to such extremes without a reason.....and in this case..... the root cause of that extreme anger is founded in immense suffering and tragedy..... an anger that i can sympathize with without agreeing to his 'solution'......

blerbaberpaterb

.....yeah i didnt say his anger guided him in the right direction.... in fact i keep saying i DONT agree with where his anger took him.... my point is.... you dont have to agree with the outcome to sympathize with what caused it.... we dont only need to tell stories that we agree with that concludes with a message everyone likes..... stories about someone starting off sympathetic and ending up not being are also compelling.... like Chris said, the film isn't a hagiography....

Chris

One bit of historical context that I've always thought is instructive. Speaking to this as a history guy--not at all trying to parse any version of correctness between MLK and Malcolm X--MLK didn't overcome just by succeeding in a hearts and minds campaign. He was seen as dangerous and wrong by a majority of America at the time, and it's only retrospectively that he's become lionized (including by many of the people who condemned him while he was alive). There was something much more complicated going on, and many scholars think that it's only because people like Malcolm X and the Black Panthers came to be seen as a possible, less desirable alternative to MLK that something like the Civil Rights Act passed at all. In other words, not that the black power movement was correct or incorrect, but that white America was never going to permit any reform at all without that movement scaring the hell out of it. If that's the case... man, I find it hard to condemn anyone who thought along more radical lines.

blerbaberpaterb

.....thats your interpretation of it then.....which is fine even if i dont agree.... but you gotta also allow others to have theirs.....i just find it ironic....youre doing a smaller version of the very thing you seem to despise him for....

Brandon

I'd watch the movie again. He was shot down for changing his ways and I believe he had the capacity to change a lot more, had he had the chance. As for Spike Lee making a movie about Martin Luthor King Jr., yeah maybe he could even still make one. Everyone knows the "I have a dream" speech, but it's worth mentioning that he got more progressive and was considered far more radical in the time leading up to his own assassination. The Civil Rights movement was not enough for him, to say the least. Redlining still took place AFTER the Civil Rights movement was passed. A lot of his life has been whitewashed. For example, people glance over his letter from Birmingham jail about white moderates to make his life into something that's easier to market. I have a feeling that if Spike Lee made a movie about King, he wouldn't pull his punches to make a movie that you find more to your tastes, just like with Malcolm X.

Brandon

It's been far too long since I've seen this. It's quite possibly the all time great biopic. Modern biopics of all kinds pale in comparison to this. One thing I love about Spike Lee is that he doesn't believe in subtlety when he has something important he wants to say. He makes his points like a hammer pounding a nail. That being said, he still knows how to handle subtext and make nuanced films. A lot of people have already suggested 'Do the Right Thing', 'BlackkKlansman' and "Da Five Bloods'. All worth watching, and then some. I would add 'Clockers' to that list. It's not necessarily his best film, but it's a personal favourite of mine and I think it gets overlooked.

David Crabtree

"We didn't land on Sherwood Forest, Sherwood Forest landed on us!"

Tyler Foster

Watched two incredible reactions yesterday, one among my all-time most-wanted on another channel and one that I requested on a different channel, and now I just gotta make it through the rest of the workday so I can go home and finish the hat-trick with this one... Also, will add to the chorus of people saying you have to watch Do the Right Thing (1989). I don't know if Do the Right Thing or Malcolm X is Spike Lee's masterpiece, as they're both great for totally different reasons, but they belong on the same tier at the very top of his filmography. Another recommendation I don't think anyone has thrown out yet for Spike, if you want to see something *really* scathing, and possibly his #3 behind those two films, then I have to suggest Bamboozled (2000). Along these same lines, but much more obscure, I would recommend Boots Riley's outrageous Sorry to Bother You (2018), especially with his new film I Love Boosters coming out. Also, one that I personally love and have recommended before is a little film called Blindspotting (2018). Both films came out the same year as Black Panther and together constituted a moment for Oakland, as the Black filmmakers behind all three movies celebrated and/or came from the Bay Area and made movies that were either set in or had scenes in Oakland, and they all explored similar themes regarding race and culture.

steezo jckson

please add do the right thing to the list it's easily one of spike's greatest

Boba Fettuccine

Just FYI, that potato-looking stuff being cut up and mixed with eggs at the beginning was lye. Also, like others have mentioned, Denzel deserved the Oscar for this one.

PIG

One of the best soundtracks ever. By terence blanchard. I used to listen to it over and over on CD until it got too scratched.

photos_by_geoff

Thanks for reacting to such a powerful and memorable film! Controversy follows most every leader or celebrity, especially back then with what he and others were trying to accomplish. I am sad to hear of such hatred being so prevalent still today. Hopefully one day we can all be in a more peaceful place in each of your hearts where love is the most powerful message that we can share with each other. Thanks again for the reaction and I hope more people watch the full length version. In the same vein as Simone stated, every moment of this film is needed and helpful to understand the journey that Mr Malcolm X took thru his truly too short of a lifetime.

Michael T.

I'm sorry, but it's kinda funny that during the trivia George didn't want to say Bill Cosby's name but yet had no problems saying Hitler in other previous reactions. Just say the person's name dude, you refusing to say his name isn't some grand gesture.

G B

There's so many of us young men of color, whose fathers were victims of the war on drugs and who were raised in single parent households struggling with poverty. Malcolm X's words and especially his autobiography were for many of us the voice of the anger we felt and the first time someone gave clarity and understanding to many of the ills we faced. As you grow older, especially in NYC, you spend time with people of all walks of life, and quickly understand the harm and divisiveness of some of the rhetoric he ultimately disowned later in his life. Though much of this is still unfortunately spewed on the streets of NYC by folks like the Black Hebrew Israelites. Being 6’3 at 13, I was often stopped and frisked by cops. Thrown against walls many times and accused of selling drugs as I walk home from the park with a basketball in my hand. I’ll never forget reading the autobiography of Malcolm X and watching this film and the scene at the police station for the first time. I truly felt like the young man in the scene. Proud, and in awe of a man standing up without fear, to the injustice afflicting his people, and hoping one day I could live in a system which didn’t criminalize my mere existence.

Life in the cave of Garanoga

The absolute silence from both of you during so many parts of this film is a testament to just how good it is. So happy you two watched this. This movie, Wu-Tang and general interest lead me to the supreme mathematics sub sect of Islam and it changed my life. I'm a Buddhist but those teachings still play a huge part in my life, I have a variation of them tattooed down my spine. As always great reaction and I'll be watching this one a few times with you lol. Definitely need to check out "Hurricane" (1999) another amazing Denzel Biopic about a boxer. You probably know the Dylan song about him. And "Do the Right Thing" another great Spike movie.

Life in the cave of Garanoga

Clockers doesn't get enough love. As you said it isn't his best but it's full tilt Spike at his best in my opinion artistically.

Paul Deaconu

His performance in The Hurricane is the best of his career, they definitely need to check it out.

dasgrove

I grew up in a very small and very racist town in the Deep South of Georgia. I read this book when I was 13 and it rewrote me as a person. It poked a hole in the hate and lies that surrounded me and help me to see the bigger truth of the world. The power of the word and the power of film is profound.

sarCC

An absolute YES to Do The Right Thing, as well as Blindspotting and Sorry To Bother You. All must-watches.

Tyler Foster

I've paid to request Blindspotting on three different channels over the years. Still hope to see it on at least a couple more, Cinebinge being one of them.

ThatGuyWithNoName

The rock-throwing scene is a traditional ritual done by muslims in Mecca as part of their pilgrimage. They throw pebbles at three ancient pillars, an act which symbolizes a story from scripture. In the Bible/Quran, when Abraham was instructed by god (through the angel Gabriel) to throw seven pebbles at the devil when he appeared before him, and he would disappear; hence stoning the devil. The pillars are apparently placed in the same place where this happened.

Cc Decc

Yeah, I'm not going to watch the full 3 hours of this one again -- yt will do here. But its just such a...messy pull. Malcom X was compelling. He was also a petty criminal who found meaning in a hate filled movement and spouted off dangerous and divisive racist rhetoric before getting himself killed by his own former comrades. This is not a guy you lionize. But he also had integrity of a sort, a huge ego, a big mouth, and he was smart. Its a compelling character...except he wasn't a character. When you get kind of a race reversed version of Malcolm in American History X, its a fictional character. That's a powerful film, but its fictional, so you can sort of put its characters on a shelf and observe them and talk about them as fictional characters and what was the author trying to say. But with Malcolm, he was real. And he was dangerous. His rhetoric could have gotten people killed. It did get him killed. So having a director that's a bit of a fan and who's working off of an autobiography (same issue as Raging Bull) is hard. Making his life and views understandable is art. But putting your thumb on the scale so he is right, or a hero, or somebody walks out of the cinema wanting to emulate him is problematic.

Jonathan Eaton

Buff Korean Jesus makes me want to be more Christ-like.

Jonathan Eaton

For more Angela Bassett I suggest Strange Days (1995) Sci-Fi/Thriller

8bitAndy

I don't think it was meant as a grand gesture. The internet is a weird place, and the masses can get pretty crazy when it comes to canceled celebs. George probably wanted to avoid invoking a name that might get some people fired up.

Jesse Coombs

This is probably my second favorite Spike Lee movie. My favorite is Do The Right Thing, unsurprisingly. I would love a reaction to that one. Also, thanks for doing this, it made my day.

Wicked Wookie

Hey, hey! Stop fuckin' with Korean Jesus. He ain't got time for yo problems, he's busy wit Korean shit!

Kaz5209

I agree that what he said is awful. What you must remember is that when someone has been traumatized as much as he did growing up, becoming extemist is bound to happen. We see this in our daily lives everyday from all sides.

Kaz5209

No . He was a hero and should be idolized. People who disagree are just showing their true color.

Charlie Ito

If you enjoyed this, I'd highly recommend reading his autobiography. It's got more detail, it's longer, and it's even more amazing as far as places his life went, and what he was thinking as he evolved throughout the years. -> The Autobiography of Malcolm X: As Told to Alex Haley - audiobook version narrated by (the!) Laurence Fishburne

Franz Liszt

It's not that deep, dude. Relax.

Jpsynergy

Look it's not really my place to sit here and argue about this but I disagree. I've learned a lot from listening to Malcolm X.

Jpsynergy

Denzel is so good in this. Everyone mentioning Hurricane and I agree. Thanks for the react!

REDR58

Whether or not he was a hero, I don't think he or any person, thing or entity should be idolized.

bdennis2004

I always assumed "Not for sale" meant he'd been into so many places that refused to sell to black people, that they'd always just say "that's not for sale." I have absolutely no idea if that's how it's meant, though.

James W.

@George The Elks Club was another fraternal order like the Freemasons. They had (and maybe still have?) some political power back then. I grew up in Palo Alto, California, and there was an Elk's Lodge there. My father encouraged me to steer clear because they weren't typically very friendly towards black folks. They tolerated you to serve them but not as a member as far as I remember. This was during like the 80s and 90s, so not even that long ago. I will be 50 this year and even as a mixed kid I felt the effects of discrimination, even in the so called liberal bastion of California. Whenever I hear/see someone talking about racism like it happened so long ago and that people of color should just get over it, I have to shake my head and walk away before I do something ill-advised. This film is largely adapted from the Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley. I haven't read it since my father forced me to like 30+ years ago but even then I remember respecting the candor Malcolm had when speaking about the time before he found religion. He was not a remotely perfect dude, but he is as close to hero as I allowed myself to have because he showed growth. I wish we would have gotten to see where the evolution of his ideals would have taken him instead being snatched away. Though you could nitpick that some editorial restraint would have gone a long way, I love the movie exactly as it is. So many stellar performances and still my favorite of Denzel's. He doesn't look like Malcolm but there are times when he so nails the mannerism and voice that you can see Malcolm a little bit. Angela Bassett doesn't get nearly enough recognition, fitting I guess, as I think Betty deserved more as well. The big one for me though is probably Delroy Lindo as Archie, he was so fucking effective in just a few scenes that, to me, he stole any scene he was in, even when playing against some peak Denzel. Glad y'all watched it, its not an easy sell of movie.

REDR58

Yes, an "Elk” is a member of the “Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks” which is a fraternal organization that self-describes as: “To inculcate the principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity; to recognize a belief in God; to promote the welfare and enhance the happiness of its Members; to quicken the spirit of American patriotism; to cultivate good fellowship; to perpetuate itself as a fraternal organization, and to provide for its government, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America will serve the people and communities through benevolent programs, demonstrating that Elks Care and Elks Share.” https://www.elks.org/who/missionStatement.cfm There is also “Elks of Canada” (https://www.elksofcanada.ca/) and the “Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World,” an African-American fraternal group (https://www.ibpoew.org/).

REDR58

When Malcolm talks about being so poor that he thought “Not For Sale” was a “brand name,” he is referring to government-supplied flour and sugar which has “Not For Sale” stamped on it, so it could not be resold. You can see the stamped, US Government-supplied flour and sugar sacks briefly at about 23 minutes into the movie.

Martin

If you want to see another Spike Lee movie, check out Do The Right Thing. It’s not only his best film, it’s one of the greatest films of all time. If you want to see another angle of Malcom X and the famous/infamous people he inspired, check out Michael Mann’s Ali. Biographical film about Muhammad Ali, his boxing career, and his relationship to Malcom X and the Nation of Islam. If you want to see another Denzel-in-jail biography, check out Hurricane. An amazing true-life story about boxer Ruben Carter.

Thirty Year Old Mulberry Field

How I am just now learning Laurence Fishburne got to narrate Malcolm X’s autobiography?! Thanks homie!

That was the Rodney King Beating shown in the opening. Malcolm and Shorty (Spike Lee) are wearing “Zoot suits”: https://www.thoughtco.com/zoot-suit-history-4147678 Sophia, the blonde woman in the car is played by Canadian-American actor Kate Vernon who should be familiar to anyone who is watched the 2004-2009 “Battlestar Galactica” series. She was also in “Pretty in Pink” (1986), which you should watch. That was Karen Allen (Animal House, Raiders of the Lost Ark) who played the social worker who came to see Malcolm’s mother. David Patrick Kelly who had a very interesting role on the “Twin Peaks” series plays Mr. Ostrowski, young Malcolm's racist school teacher. He was “Luther” the main antagonist in “The Warriors,” “Sully” who did not get killed last in “Commando. ” He was in “The Crow” and also played “Charlie the Cleaner” in “John Wick” chapters 1 and 2. He’s been in several other Spike Lee movies. Debi Mazar plays Peg, Shorty’s girlfriend. She was in “Goodfellas” Baines is played by retired actor Albert Hall who was “Chief” that piloted the Navy PBR (patrol Boat) in “Apocalypse Now” who was eventually speared. I recognized him but couldn’t place him until I looked it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syPq_z7Bfjo The physical resemblance between Malcolm X and Denzel Washington is very close. The police captain who says "That’s too much power for one man to have) in the street in front of the hospital is played by the late Peter Boyle who was in “Young Frankenstein” as The Monster. He was also in “Taxi Driver.” My best friend‘s mother went to school with him. Denzel Washington did not go around the Kaaba: “The real Mecca scenes were filmed by a second unit in Saudi Arabia, as only a totally Islamic crew was allowed into the city. Malcolm X visits Egypt, where he worships at the Mohammed Ali Mosque (known as the Alabaster Mosque) in Cairo.” https://movie-locations.com/movies/m/Malcolm-X.php The “get your hand out of my pocket” was a distraction to draw Malcolm X’s security away from him and towards the man who shouted it. It seems to have had no particular meaning in itself. The shot of Malcolm X looking out of the window of his home while holding the M1 Carbine is a recreation of a real photo taken of him: https://crimeresearch.org/2021/11/malcolm-x-holding-a-rifle-as-he-kept-receiving-death-threats/ Malcolm X’s children, as of December 2025, 5 of his 6 daughters are still alive: https://people.com/all-about-malcolm-x-children-8720610

The hair mixture is congolene or "conk" for short which straightened the hair and contained sodium hydroxide or "lye" for short. Black men who wanted straighter hair began using it in the 1920s. It's essentially a perm but has the opposite effect on courser hair whereas it would make George and Simone's hair easy to hold curls. Malcolm X was a natural redhead which really isn't rare for Black people.

The American lottery wouldn't exist without "numbers running" which started in Black communities in Chicago and New York urban areas. People placed bets on the last 3 digits of the daily New York clearing house bank totals , horse racings and things that could be verified publicly into the 1960s when the government stepped in and redirected those funds by creating the Lottery. Running numbers made some Black people millionaires in which they'd build Black institutions that were non existent like funeral homes, banks, press associations and schools.

Matt Blanchette

Kate Vernon is also the daughter of Canadian actor John Vernon, who played Dean Wormer in "Animal House" (which they just saw)!

Logan Kerlee

Loved watching this reaction with you both. :)

Kevin Cormier

The silence is what I came to comment on - I'm so glad they saw this, but I knew that there would be a lot of time spent just listening to the next-level oration. And I think that's the proper response.

PIG

lol 8bit is right. Welcome to the internet :)

PIG

But by the end of the movie he rejected a lot of this thinking. It’s a big part of the movie.

REDR58

Ah! Didn’t know that! Great connection!

REDR58

To that point, and in the scene in the movie where he tells the white female student (Fia Porter) there is “nothing” she can do to help: * * * * * In addition, Malcolm was questioning the belief that, “The white man is the devil.” When he was rising up in the nation Islam, an experience occurred that Malcolm would never forget. A little blond co-ed at a New England college was moved by Malcolm’s words. She must have caught the next plane behind the one that Malcolm took to New York. She found Malcolm in a Muslim restaurant in Harlem. She demanded, to Malcolm’s face, ‘Don’t you believe there are any good white people?” Malcolm didn’t want to hurt his feelings, so he told her, “People’s deeds I believe in, Miss – not their words.’ ‘What can I do?’ she exclaimed. He told her, ‘Nothing.’ She burst out crying, and ran out and up Lenox Avenue and caught a taxi (292). Years later, Malcolm X would tell Gordon Parks, “Well, I’ve lived to regret that incident. In many parts of the African continent I saw white students helping black people. Something like that kills a lot of argument. I did many things as a Muslim that I’m sorry for now. I was a zombie then, like all Muslims – I was hypnotized, pointed in a direction and told to march. Well, I guess a man’s entitled to make a fool of himself if he’s ready to pay the cost. It cost me twelve years (436).” * * * * * https://www.jwkash.com/turning-points-in-the-life-of-malcolm-x

"If not, why? What's the difference?" This is actually the whole thing. The WHOLE thing. There IS a difference: 200+ years of kidnapping and slavery and 100 years of Jim Crow. The key thing piece of all of this is that one can't just plop into the mid 20th century and wave that away.

JoeE

Don’t know about any other children or grandchildren, but betty shabazz lived in our city and was burned to death by one of her grandsons. I believe he was later murdered

Theo Bracco

The shooter that was trapped and almost lynched was played by Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring).

Philipp Roensch

Never seen the whole film before, but very much worth it. Definitly a top performance by Washington and well put together, surprisingly with how rought the production must have been. Impressive what a journey Malcom had, but his impact is hopefully still felt and taken to heart. TIL: The family is in an ongoing lawsuit against FBI, CIA, NYPD since 2024, for the conspiracy of the assasination.

OddThomas

JFK is another great film set in this period. For more Delroy Lindo: Broken Arrow (John Woo), Congo, A Life Less Ordinary

funky weapon

this movie is good, but I really loved Bamboozled by Spike Lee. it's a satirical comedy from '01 or so and stars Daman Wayans. unlike a lot of Spike's work, it's funny as hell.

Michael L.

I also really enjoyed the film "One Night In Miami" that came out a couple years ago that centres on a meeting between Malcolm, Ali, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown, which happened just before Ali converted and Malcolm left the Nation.

FranciscoGios

I forgot how long this movie was, and I didn’t knew about the characters similarities with Martin Luther King and Malcom X with Professor X & Magneto. Let me start to say the knowledge Elijah Muhammad had is what I was trying to tell you guys in my past comments but I have more information. The reason it is not an open topic (I might began to sound crazy) is because the powerful elites are afraid if this free knowledge is known by everyone their whole system collapses and I’m talking from politics, banking system, & education we have today. The oldest language from this world is symbolism, it was never about letters, words or even the languages we speak and know today. Almost every ancient figure in Egypt explain this knowledge; and yes the Pyramids are one of the few oldest symbols. I’m not talking about battles and Kings which is what the Elites and their educational puppets will only teach you. If you look at pictures of Jesus Christ look at his hands there are hidden symbols with his hands, one is pointing to the heart the other one pointing up which is your higher conscious once you accept this knowledge your conscious opens your third eye but you need your heart to try to know this knowledge if you want to know your creator you need to understand that everything comes from the mind. Everything Man thinks it becomes into matter example: the wheel the oldest invention, someone thought it from their mind and his hands made it into matter (hard marble or what ever rock it was made of.). Someone thought of a pen and they made it into matter. But wait why the Pyramids? At the bottom of the pyramid it’s touching the ground it is more of this world it is a sleepy mind the one that thinks this system is Life, but you can work yourself up by taking steps to open your third eye to know your higher conscious which is the top of the Pyramid.

D. Kennedy

Just a little observation... sometimes you guys miss important dialogue from talking over scenes a little too much. An example would be the conversation with Malcolm and Betty, I feel like you guys are observing one part of the conversation and talking about that instead of listening to the whole thing. I like your reactions but I think sometimes it's best to wait for a scene to play out, then react. Lol

Glenner7

I nearly jumped out of my chair when I recognized the voice of Ron Glass (Shepherd Book) around 37:49 of the no copy needed version. I'm surprised that neither of you noticed right away.

SANAMDEEP

can’t believe you haven’t watched Do The Right Thing yet, prob Spike Lee’s best film

John

I would add Da 5 Bloods which I believe was also directed by Spike Lee
