Send us a textWe're both big fans of the film Gladiator so we were really excited for Gladiator 2 when it was announced. Even more so when we found out Denzel was going to be in it. No one expected something on par with the first one, but was the 2nd one any good or was it a total dumpster fire? Did we love it, hate it, respect it? Tune in to find out.

Episode 85 kicks off with the crew discussing Denzel Washington's new starring role in a Spike Lee joint titled Highest 2 Lowest, alongside A$AP Rocky and Ice Spice. This leads to a conversation about Denzel's greatness and legacy in acting. Resident thespian EverythingOShauN takes a deep dive into why Denzel considers himself a theatre actor first, before a Hollywood one. Next, the group unpacks Ryan Coogler's magnum opus film Sinners (spoilers ahead), and a heated debate quickly sparks between Trivelle and OShauN over Michael B. Jordan's performance playing twins “Smoke & Stack.” This disagreement opens up a broader critique of Jordan's entire filmography. As that conversation gains traction, XP jumps in to challenge the double standard in how Black actors are held to higher standards of excellence compared to their Caucasian peers, while dropping a controversial name to attempt to illustrate the point. After some well-deserved praise for Sinners, the crew breaks down Delroy Lindo's iconic performance, the film's hidden messages and spiritual layers, its commentary on the music industry, and Coogler's creative decisions around format and how they contributed to the film's success. During recording, NBA playoff games are unfolding live, interrupting the flow and shifting the conversation to real-time reactions. The Knicks edge out a win to go up 2–0, and Trivelle walks back his previous predictions about the Houston Rockets, offering new takes on their next steps. The focus then shifts to LeBron James, as Trivelle reveals a listener asked for him to be pressed about the viral LeBron clips from OShauN. A heated debate follows comparing peak LeBron vs. peak Jordan, with the cast reliving the highs and lows of LeBron's dominance in the league. They also touch on Jokic's continued excellence and Luka Doncic's need for growth. From there, the episode transitions to music headlines. The crew discusses Bobby Shmurda's alleged struggles with ticket sales, Busta Rhymes receiving his first Diamond plaque, and the major Afrobeats artists set to hit Scotiabank Arena in Toronto — Rema, Wizkid, and Davido. That is, until XP finds out in real time that Wizkid's show has been canceled, sparking a conversation about the significance of selling out arenas in markets like Toronto compared to London or New York. As the one-year anniversary of the biggest rap conflict of all time approaches, the gang reacts to the debate between DJ Hed (for Kendrick) and Mal (for Drake) on the Rory & Mal podcast. They dissect the arguments and the direction the battle took. Finally, after Rockstar Games once again delayed the generational release of GTA 6, they surprised fans with a brand-new trailer. XP breaks it down and reflects on the cultural impact a game of that scale holds. Trivelle closes out the episode with updates on football (including the Champions League Final), boxing, and more.

Derrière l'icône, le bourreau. Fêtes privées sous contrôle, viols ritualisés, humiliations filmées, compromissions archivées, P. Diddy a transformé son label en une véritable machine à broyer les corps et les volontés. Dans cet épisode, Gaël et Geoffroy plongent dans l'univers glaçant d'un magnat du hip-hop protégé par des policiers corrompus et des élus complices. De la naissance de Bad Boy Records aux soirées “Freak-Offs”, ils décryptent les rouages d'un empire fondé sur la peur, le sexe et le silence et révèlent comment le rap est devenu un levier d'influence politique, où la rébellion se vend et l'impunité s'achète.

This week, we're diving into the high-stakes, high-pressure world of Crimson Tide—the 1995 submarine thriller that pits two powerhouse performances against each other: Gene Hackman as a grizzled, old-school Navy captain, and Denzel Washington as his calm, calculated executive officer. When a rogue Russian faction threatens nuclear war, the crew of the U.S.S. Alabama receives an incomplete order that could either prevent global catastrophe—or cause it. With the clock ticking and tension rising hundreds of feet below the surface, it's a nerve-racking clash of command, ethics, and ego. Directed by Tony Scott and scored by Hans Zimmer, Crimson Tide delivers pulse-pounding suspense and powerhouse drama, all set within the claustrophobic confines of a nuclear sub. Join us as we break down the film's unforgettable moments, the behind-the-scenes power struggles, and why this thriller still holds water 30 years later.   Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb   Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408    Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall    YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ   Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/  Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall

Send us a textRickerby Hinds swung by the Playwright's Spotlight prior to the premiere of his "last' play. We unpack various topics including Hip Hop Theatre, being a self-taught playwright, writing without arrogance, earning your audience, and the use of poetry, spoken word, rap, and movement and dance. We also discuss lessons in editing, metaphors and similes, achieving layers, character introductions, unwritten dialogue, and what choreography on the page looks like. We wrap it up with his venue and purpose at Riverside Studios, commissioning a play, the rehearsal process, and his approach to developing characters. Similarities in look and sound to Denzel Washington, I half expected Denzel to bust out and say, "It's actually me, Denzel." I also had the opportunity to catch this play prior to this episode dropping. If you're in the LA area, I highly recommend checking it out. It's a definite crowd pleaser with lots of audience participation. Even if you can't see the production, I'm sure you'll be charmed by this episode.

Free preview cross-over with the Bang-Bang Podcast. Long before the Patriot Act, long before “See Something, Say Something,” long before 9/11—there was The Siege. Released in 1998, this Bruce Willis–Denzel Washington vehicle depicts a post–terror attack New York placed under martial law. The city is bombed, neighborhoods are surveilled, and Arab and Muslim men are rounded up en masse, held indefinitely in cages under the Brooklyn Bridge. And yet, in perhaps the most jarring twist of all, the whole thing was co-written by Lawrence Wright, the celebrated journalist behind the GWOT-era classic, The Looming Tower.In this episode, Van and Lyle are joined once again by screenwriter Kevin Fox to revisit The Siege, not just as an artifact of pre-9/11 paranoia, but as an uncanny rehearsal for everything that would come after. Together they break down the film's oscillation between prescience and myopia, from Bruce Willis as cartoonish generalissimo to Denzel Washington as constitutionalist good cop. The story's themes of blowback, anti-Muslim hysteria, and civil-military overreach may come off as heavy-handed or superficial, but there are so many moments that still hit disturbingly close to home.Van, Lyle, and Kevin ask: What can a work like The Siege tell us about liberal complicity in the War on Terror? What happens when a film simultaneously warns of repression while making its own contribution to the atmosphere of fear? And what's with the horny thermal cam surveillance scene?Subscribe to the Bang-Bang Podcast for more: https://www.bangbangpod.comSubscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.comWatch the Un-Diplomatic Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@un-diplomaticpodcast

Lee and Daniel decided to go deep (well, as deep as a Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer production can get), both literally and figuratively, as they tackle the epic shouty men on a submarine film, "Crimson Tide" (1995), directed by Tony Scott, and starring Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman as said shouty men. Has the threat of nuclear war ever been more dumb and full of cum? Was Tarantino punching this stuff up needed? The hosts also cover what they've watched as of late.

This stylized post-apocalyptic thriller is a unique example of a mainstream Hollywood blockbuster with overtly Christian themes, even if it stops just short of a true Christian message. Directed by the Hughes Brothers (MENACE II SOCIETY, DEAD PRESIDENTS, FROM HELL) and starring beloved leading man Denzel Washington, THE BOOK OF ELI depicts the Bible as a source of tremendous power in a fallen world. Eli (Denzel Washington) is a survivor of a nuclear holocaust, wandering westward on a mysterious mission with few possessions except for a large book that he treasures. When Eli crosses paths with local warlord Carnegie (Gary Oldman), Carnegie suspects that Eli's book may be the Bible, which Carnegie himself has been seeking because he believes reading it will give him the power to control large groups of people. Carnegie is perhaps a metaphor for hypocritical conmen religious leaders who use Christianity as a way to acquire power and money, whereas Eli could represent Christ or even just a true honest believer who has made it his mission to spread faith into the world. This metaphor becomes even more clear when Eli's quest is revealed to be delivery of the Bible to an enclave of secret archivists who will reprint and preserve it forever. The authenticity of Eli's faith becomes even more clear when Carnegie does steal the Bible, only to be upset to find it is written in Braille, revealing Eli to have been blind the whole time. Despite being mortally wounded by Carnegie, Eli makes it to the archivists in time to speak the entire Bible to them as an oral tradition, ensuring its preservation. In the final scene of the movie, we see the archivists putting the newly reprinted Bible on a shelf alongside the Torah and the Quran. This ending, which is obviously inspired by the novel FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury, shows that THE BOOK OF ELI is not a truly Christian genre film — few faith-based films would equate the Bible and the Quran. To view THE BOOK OF ELI through the lens of faith-based film criticism is to see it as a religious cop out; hinting that the Bible is the source of spiritual truth but ultimately dismissing it as “just another book on a shelf.” View our full episode list and subscribe to any of our public feeds: http://boysbiblestudy.com Unlock 2+ bonus episodes per month: http://patreon.com/boysbiblestudy Subscribe to our Twitch for livestreams: http://twitch.tv/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/boysbiblestudy

This week on the pod, we're diving into the high-stakes paranoia of The Manchurian Candidate (2004), a political thriller reboot that trades Cold War chills for post-Gulf War conspiracy. Denzel Washington stars as Major Ben Marco, a decorated soldier haunted by dreams suggesting something sinister happened during his time in Kuwait. With the help of an eerie performance by Liev Schreiber and a chillingly manipulative Meryl Streep, the film leans hard into psychological suspense but does the tension still land in 2024? Tune in as we revisit this remake, break down its big themes, and ask the ultimate question: Is The Manchurian Candidate still worth voting for? Plot Summary:In the 2004 political thriller The Manchurian Candidate, directed by Jonathan Demme, Denzel Washington stars as Major Ben Marco, a Gulf War veteran plagued by disturbing dreams and lingering suspicions about his past. A remake of the 1962 classic, the film updates the Cold War paranoia to a post-9/11 world of corporate influence, political manipulation, and psychological warfare. Marco served alongside Sergeant Raymond Shaw (Liev Schreiber), who has since returned home a decorated war hero and rising political star. Shaw's mother, Senator Eleanor Prentiss Shaw (Meryl Streep), is a powerful and cunning politician pushing her son toward the vice presidency. But Marco begins to suspect that their wartime memories have been tampered with—and that Shaw may be the product of mind control by a shadowy multinational corporation known as Manchurian Global. As Marco digs deeper, he uncovers a chilling conspiracy involving psychological conditioning, implanted memories, and a plan to manipulate the highest levels of the U.S. government. His grip on reality begins to waver as he races to uncover the truth and stop a sinister plot that could alter the future of American democracy. Denzel Washington gives a powerful, haunted performance as a man unraveling a web of lies, while Meryl Streep delivers a chilling turn as an ambitious mother who will stop at nothing to seize power. The film blends intense suspense with thought-provoking commentary on political corruption, the military-industrial complex, and the dangers of unchecked influence. Join our podcast review as we revisit this modern thriller, exploring its performances, themes, and whether this cerebral update of a classic still resonates in today's political climate.
