Higher Learning Reaction, Recap, Breakdown, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review! Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau take on Higher Learning, the 1995 drama directed by John Singleton (Boyz N the Hood, 2 Fast 2 Furious) that tackles themes of race, identity, privilege, and systemic injustice in the American college experience. The film follows three freshmen—Malik (Omar Epps), Kristen (Kristy Swanson), and Remy (Michael Rapaport)—as they navigate the pressures of higher education, racial tensions, and personal transformation at the fictional Columbus University. Some of the most intense and pivotal moments include Malik's struggle with his track scholarship and racial identity, Remy's descent into white supremacy under the influence of Cole Hauser's character, and the tragic climactic shooting scene that shakes the entire campus. Other powerful moments include Ice Cube's character Fudge dropping hard truths about systemic racism, Laurence Fishburne's powerful lectures as Professor Phipps, and the heartbreaking fates of several key characters that still resonate today. Omar Epps as Malik Williams (Love & Basketball, House), Kristy Swanson as Kristen Connor (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Phantom), Michael Rapaport as Remy (True Romance, Atypical), Ice Cube as Fudge (Friday, Barbershop), Jennifer Connelly as Taryn (A Beautiful Mind, Requiem for a Dream), Tyra Banks as Deja (Coyote Ugly, America's Next Top Model), Laurence Fishburne as Professor Phipps (The Matrix, John Wick 2), Cole Hauser as Scott Moss (Yellowstone, 2 Fast 2 Furious), Regina King as Monet (Watchmen, If Beale Street Could Talk), and Busta Rhymes as Dreads (Halloween: Resurrection, Shaft).

It follows a poet (Jackson) mourning the loss of her boyfriend from gun violence. She goes on a road trip from South Los Angeles to Oakland on a mail truck, along with her friend (King) and a postal worker (Shakur), in order to deal with depression.Following the success of his debut film, Boyz n the Hood, Singleton wanted to make a film that would give a voice to young African-American women. Jada Pinkett, Lisa Bonet, Monica Calhoun, and many other popular actresses auditioned for the role of Justice, though Singleton knew from the script's draft that the role was solely intended for Jackson. Filming took place from April 11 to July 4, 1992.Poetic Justice was released in the United States on July 23, 1993. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who criticized the screenplay though praised Jackson and Shakur's performances and chemistry. It reached No. 1 in the box office its opening weekend, grossing $11,728,455. It eventually grossed a total of $27,515,786. Jackson received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for Best Original Song for "Again", which also reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Janet won 2 MTV Movie awards for her role in the film, including Most Desirable Female. The film has developed a cult following, especially for the chemistry between Jackson and Shakur.Higher Learning is a 1995 American crime drama film written and directed by John Singleton and starring an ensemble cast. The film follows the changing lives of three incoming freshmen at the fictional Columbus University: Malik Williams (Omar Epps), a track star who struggles with academics; Kristen Connor (Kristy Swanson), a shy and naive girl; and Remy (Michael Rapaport), a lonely and confused man seemingly out of place in his new environment.The film also featured Tyra Banks' first performance in a theatrical film. Laurence Fishburne won an NAACP Image Award for "Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture"; Ice Cube was also nominated for the award. This was the last film appearance of Dedrick D. Gobert, who was shot dead in 1994 prior to the film's release.The exterior shots and outdoor scenes were shot on the campus of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) while the interiors were shot at Sony Pictures Studios.aby Boy is a 2001 American coming-of-age hood drama film directed, written and produced by John Singleton, and starring Tyrese Gibson, Snoop Dogg, Ving Rhames, Omar Gooding, A.J. Johnson and Taraji P. Henson.[5] The film follows Joseph "Jody" Summers (Gibson), a 20-year-old bike mechanic as he lives and learns in his everyday life in the hood of Los Angeles.The film was originally written with rapper-actor Tupac Shakur in mind to play Jody; Shakur had previously worked with Singleton on Poetic Justice. However, following Shakur's murder in 1996, Singleton decided to replace Shakur with R&B artist Tyrese Gibson. Additionally, the role of Rodney was originally written for Ice Cube, who had worked with Singleton on Boyz n the Hood and Higher Learning. The film marked the feature acting debut of Gibson and provided Henson with her first prominent role.Released in the United States on June 27, 2001, the film received predominantly positive reviews from critics and audiences, with many deeming it as Singleton's best film since Boyz n the Hood. The film is also the final feature film written by Singleton as he did not write any of his later feature-length directorial projects before his death in April 2019.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

When we look back at late-90s cinema, few films hit the nerve of an era quite like Enemy of the State (1998). Directed by Tony Scott and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, the film was released when the internet was still in its infancy, and the public's understanding of digital surveillance was minimal at best. Fast-forward to today and Enemy of the State feels less like a cautionary tale and more like a prediction of the modern world.Starring Will Smith in one of his first dramatic leading roles and featuring a powerhouse cast that includes Gene Hackman, Jon Voight, and Lisa Bonet, Enemy of the State blends action, espionage, and paranoia in a way that makes it both thrilling and eerily relevant. The movie's central theme—how the government can use technology to monitor citizens—is more pertinent now than in 1998. But beyond the social commentary, Enemy of the State is a tightly wound conspiracy thriller that still manages to entertain on its most basic level: sheer adrenaline.A Case of Wrong Place, Wrong TimeThe film kicks off with the murder of a U.S. Congressman by a high-ranking NSA official, played with chilling authority by Jon Voight. This event sets the stage for the film's exploration of the dark side of government surveillance. The plot follows Robert Clayton Dean (Will Smith), a successful labour lawyer, who unwittingly becomes entangled in this conspiracy when an old acquaintance slips him a videotape containing evidence of the congressman's murder.Dean, who has no idea that he has this tape, quickly finds himself the target of the NSA's surveillance and an orchestrated takedown. His life is turned upside down as his bank accounts are frozen, his credit cards are cancelled, and an omniscient digital eye monitors his every move. The tension only builds as Dean is forced to team up with a former NSA operative, Brill (Gene Hackman), who helps him understand the depth of the conspiracy he's caught up in.Surveillance and Paranoia in the Digital AgeEnemy of the State stands out because it effectively tackles the theme of surveillance in the digital age. Released during a time when most of us still viewed the internet as little more than a novelty, the film was ahead of its time in predicting just how pervasive technology would become in our everyday lives. From satellite tracking to phone tapping, Scott's direction makes it clear that there's nowhere to hide in this tech-driven world.At the heart of the film is a fear that resonates with many today: the loss of privacy. The movie asks a question that feels more urgent in the 2020s than in the 1990s—how much power should governments have to monitor their citizens in the name of security? While Enemy of the State doesn't provide any clear answers, it succeeds in making us feel uneasy, particularly as the line between safety and invasion of privacy blurs.In hindsight, the film's plot is almost prophetic. In an era post-Snowden, with revelations of mass government surveillance by agencies like the NSA, Enemy of the State seems less far-fetched and more like a stark reality. This prescience is one of the reasons the film holds up so well over two decades later.Will Smith: A Star in the MakingAt the time of its release, Enemy of the State was a significant departure for Will Smith, who was best known for his comedic roles in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and blockbuster action flicks like Independence Day. As Robert Clayton Dean, Smith delivers a more nuanced and serious performance, proving that he can handle roles that require more than just one-liners and charm. His portrayal of an everyman caught in a nightmare scenario is both believable and sympathetic, grounding the film's high-concept premise in a relatable human experience.Smith's chemistry with Gene Hackman is another highlight. Hackman, who plays the paranoid, world-weary former NSA agent, brings gravitas to every scene he's in, making Brill a character that feels like he could have walked right out of another conspiracy thriller—The Conversation (1974), for instance, which Hackman also starred in. Their dynamic, a blend of mentor and reluctant ally, adds a layer of emotional depth to the film, giving it more weight than your average action thriller.Tony Scott's Signature Style: Tension on OverdriveTony Scott, known for his kinetic and visually dynamic style, brings his A-game to Enemy of the State. The film is packed with fast-paced action sequences and explosive set pieces that we've come to expect from Scott, but what sets it apart from other late-90s thrillers is how well it builds and sustains tension.The chase sequences, for example, are relentless, and Scott uses surveillance tools—cameras, monitors, satellites—to create a sense of claustrophobia. The viewer is constantly reminded that Dean is being watched, tracked, and hunted. Even in scenes where nothing overtly dangerous is happening, the ever-present hum of technology keeps the tension alive. It's a film that rarely lets the audience catch its breath, and that's exactly what makes it so engaging.A Time Capsule That Still MattersAlthough Enemy of the State is a product of the late 90s, its themes and messages have become more relevant with time. The film tapped into a growing anxiety about the role of technology in our lives, and in the years since its release, that anxiety has only intensified. The explosion of the internet, the rise of social media, and the ongoing debate about privacy vs. security make Enemy of the State feel more like a cultural artifact that predicted our current reality.The film also helped shape how Hollywood would approach tech-based thrillers in the future. Movies like The Bourne Identity, Eagle Eye, and even The Dark Knight owe a debt to the groundwork laid by Enemy of the State, particularly in how they depict technology as both a tool and a weapon.Why It Still MattersAt its core, Enemy of the State (1998) is a pulse-pounding thriller that expertly combines action with a timely and prescient commentary on technology and government power. It's a movie that's fun to watch and forces you to think about the world we live in today. With strong performances from Will Smith and Gene Hackman, and Tony Scott's tense, no-holds-barred direction, Enemy of the State remains a must-watch for anyone who enjoys a good thriller with something important to say.For fans of the Born to Watch podcast, revisiting this film will be both a nostalgic trip back to the late 90s and a stark reminder of how far and little things have changed since then.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

Imani Ellis is the founder and CEO of The Creative Collective and CultureCon. Imani studied communications in college and soon after began her career as an NBC Page at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. After just two months, she was plucked from the program for a job in communications at Bravo. She spent the next few years at NBCUniversal, rising through the ranks, but she craved a more authentic connection and collaboration. In 2016, she founded The Creative Collective from her living room. What started as a weekly gathering for Black and Brown creatives quickly outgrew her apartment, as Imani realized there was a real need for these spaces. In 2017, she created CultureCon, a conference that brought together Black and Brown voices to collaborate and celebrate each other. Over the next few years, she scaled CultureCon considerably by moving to larger venues; inviting guests such as Tracee Ellis Ross and Regina King; and working with brands like Target, Google, HBO, and Netflix. In 2022, she left NBCUniversal, where she'd risen to VP of communications, unscripted entertainment publicity, to pursue her projects full-time. This year's CultureCon, presented in partnership with Max, wrapped up just this past weekend.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
