And most importantly—Was It Good Though?

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to announce the next film to be reviewed, Spike Lee's "Highest 2 Lowest" starring Denzel Washington, and Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, and A$AP Rocky. The film follows a titan music mogul who is targeted with a ransom plot, causing him to be jammed up in a life-or-death moral dilemma. The random topic this week is about the recent public killing of rightwing hatemonger Charlie Kirk in front of thousands of college students in Utah. At the time of this recording, the suspected shooter (Tyler Robinson, 22, white male) had not be apprehended by the FBI.

This week on The First Run, Matt and Chris reluctantly go to the Warren well one last time with ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites'.

“Somebody up there likes me,” headphones edition. More things that I'm forgetting and costing myself money, for being a dunski. (As the old New Yorkers call it) Couple minor and relatively pointless things about my script, but what the hell. People who cave dive, and have died in caves. Or almost died. And/or the rescuers died too. (Why the fuck do people cave dive??) I watched Blow Out (the old Brian DePalma movie) for the first time and had some thoughts about it, I also went to see the new Spike Lee (ugh) movie Highest 2 Lowest (“tWoOo??”) and was surprisingly surprised by it. I really am extra inarticulate and scatter-brained this episode, I owe you all a beer.

Send us a textSpike Lee takes on Kurosawa's High and Low with Highest 2 Lowest, and we're here for the ride. In this episode, we break down how Lee reimagines the classic crime thriller through a modern lens—class, conscience, and a whole lot of Denzel. From Kurosawa's cool precision to Lee's bold Brooklyn energy, we explore what's preserved, what's flipped, and what hits different in 2025.It's a cinematic remix across cultures and decades—no hot takes, just deep cuts.Actress Karissa Lee Staples Oh Brother Podcast: Support the Show!

Bradley sits down with Denzel Applewhite, a top-producing automotive professional, to uncover the mindset, strategies, and innovative techniques that turned his career into a powerhouse success story! "You get out what you put in. So just keep that in mind. First and foremost, just try to take the job seriously because you are your own business." Denzel shares how he leverages modern tools like social media and Facebook Marketplace alongside proven in-store processes to keep a steady flow of sales and referrals. This conversation dives deep into how the right mindset, training, and dealership strategy can unlock record-breaking results—and why motivation alone isn't enough without the systems to back it up. "The motivation, the hustle... that's what sets me apart from the other salespeople." Whether you're brand new to the business or a seasoned veteran, this episode delivers powerful insights you won't want to miss!   Key Takeaways: ✅ The significance of a robust dealership organization that supports sales staff through marketing, training, and technological investments. ✅ How leveraging Facebook Marketplace as a cost-effective tool can generate additional leads, resulting in increased car sales. ✅ The vital role of an accurate needs assessment and strategic questioning in closing deals and achieving higher sales numbers. ✅ Exploring multiple avenues beyond traditional sales methods, such as data mining and service department collaborations, to secure more car deals. ✅ The impact of motivation and hustle in transforming a sales career, highlighting the potential earnings and job satisfaction in the automotive field.     About Denzel Applewhite Denzel Applewhite is a top-performing automotive sales professional at Step One Kia in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, where he has quickly built a reputation as a results-driven and customer-focused consultant! With over four years of industry experience, Denzel's journey is an inspiring one—he began his career as a lot porter making just $26,000 annually, and through hard work, dedication, and sales mastery, he now grosses that same amount in a single month. Recently, he achieved a remarkable milestone by selling 40 cars in just one month, a testament to his exceptional skills and relentless drive. Denzel's approach to sales is shaped not only by his personal determination but also by the influence of his sister, Nicole Applewhite, a respected and seasoned automotive professional. Together, they represent a family legacy of excellence in the auto industry. Passionate about helping customers find the right vehicle while delivering a world-class buying experience, Denzel continues to raise the bar in automotive retail and inspire others in the profession with his story of growth, resilience, and success.   Climbing the Ranks: Unveiling the Path to Automotive Sales Success In the dynamic world of automotive sales, carving out a career that not only meets but exceeds expectations is no small feat. This is precisely what Denzel Applewhite has accomplished, transforming his journey from earning $26,000 annually as a lot porter to an astounding $26,000 in a single month as a salesman. In a conversation with Sean V. Bradley, this transcript reveals the strategies and mindset that fueled Denzel's meteoric rise in the auto sales industry. For those looking to optimize their careers, this article outlines the critical themes and strategies from the conversation, shedding light on how to replicate such success in your journey. Key Takeaways Diversification in lead generation is crucial: To become a top performer, one must leverage various avenues like fresh ups, Internet leads, and personal marketing efforts. Maximizing opportunities through effective communication: A strong focus on needs assessment and qualifying questions enhances the sales process, making it more efficient and customer-centric. Mindset and motivation drive success: A relentless work ethic and the drive to hustle are foundational to overcoming obstacles and achieving high sales numbers. Utilizing Multiple Lead Generation Channels The Power of Diversification In the automotive sales sector, relying solely on one or two lead sources can limit your potential. Denzel Applewhite exemplifies this through his diversified approach that includes walk-ins, referrals, and strategic use of social media platforms like Facebook Marketplace. As he explains, "I take photos of my inventory…and post them on Marketplace," allowing him to generate approximately 70 to 80 leads monthly with minimal financial investment. His strategy underscores the importance of being proactive in sourcing leads and illustrates how leveraging free digital platforms can yield significant returns. By expanding lead sources, not only are salespersons able to tap into untapped markets, but they also shield themselves against fluctuations in any single channel. Denzel's use of Facebook Marketplace is particularly illuminating. For less than $100 a month, he consistently draws dozens of leads, showcasing an innovative and cost-effective strategy that others in the field can emulate. And as Sean emphasized, scaling this method with increased investment and potentially teaming with an assistant could further amplify results, moving a salesperson from satisfactory to exceptional performance. The Role of Strategic Communication Mastering Customer Engagement A recurring theme in Denzel's methodology is his adeptness at handling customer interactions, starting with a solid needs assessment. The success in selling as many as 40 cars in a single month is partly attributed to effectively qualifying customers early in the process. Denzel states, "What do you currently pay on your current vehicle?" This question alone propels the conversation into a productive direction, focusing on aligning vehicle options with genuine budget constraints and desires. Denzel and Sean both stress the importance of precise communication, which helps in managing customer expectations and minimizes wasted time. Sean adds a layer by rephrasing the question into a trust-building statement: "I'm here to not only sell you the exact car you're looking for but…on your terms," making the customer feel in control and valued. This illustrates that beyond mastering the transaction mechanics, connecting authentically with customers is key to enhancing sales outcomes. The Indispensable Mindset for Success Motivation and Resilience Sales is as much a mental endeavor as it is a transactional one. Denzel's ascent in the automotive sales industry is a testament to tenacity and motivation. He mentions, "I'm right back out there on the lot trying to find a new opportunity… that's just how I am." This statement speaks volumes about the persistence required to maintain and escalate one's position in auto sales. The broader lesson here is the essence of mindset in driving performance metrics. For Denzel, the hustle doesn't stop at just hitting targets—it means creating them. This drive, coupled with a resilience to face rejection or setbacks, defines his professional ethos. As Sean contextualizes, the ability to earn is directly tied to one's willingness to put in the work—“You have to earn that…” Revisiting the Blueprint for Success Denzel Applewhite's narrative offers a real-world framework for success in automotive sales—one that others can follow. Through diversified lead generation, strategic customer engagement, and unwavering motivation, his story is not only inspiring but instructive. Each theme examined provides actionable insights, from maximizing free platforms like Facebook Marketplace to crafting communication strategies that resonate with customers. Furthermore, the conversation sheds light on the broader implications of these strategies. They remind us that sustainable success comes from continuous improvement, adaptation, and the courage to innovate. Denzel exemplifies this through leveraging all available resources, maintaining a client-centric approach, and committing his energies to relentless self-motivation. Whether you're starting in the field or seeking advancement, adopting these principles could be the stepping stone to elevating your career to extraordinary heights.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Mastermind Group in the Automotive Industry with over 29,000 members worldwide.
