Richard Douglas Jones has been watching Harlem Nights since he was a kid. This movie stars and is produced and directed by Eddie Murphy and remains a cult classic among fans of black film and in particular the Black noir genre. It just so happens that there is a lot of cussing in this movie and surprisingly, almost none of it is done by Richard Pryor who is also in the film. Also stay to the end to hear Richard breakdown the origins of the racial slur "honkey."

In this episode, Kristal does some more "Black Homework" and watches the 1975 film Dolemite AND the 2019 film about the life of Rudy Ray Moore, Dolemite is my Name.

Sam Ike is a Stand Up Comedian living in Boston and years ago in college he fell in love with the movie Hollywood Shuffle. The movie created and produced by Robert Townsend about being a minority trying to make it in the industry is unfortunately still VERY relevant today. This movie tackles tokenism and cancel culture way before its time. We all "loved-ed" it very much.

Damon Sumner is a stand up comedian originally from Louisiana, living in Altanta, GA. Growing up he was a huge fan of the 2000-2004 cartoon on the WB called Static Shock. We talk about what it was like being a black child watching a black super hero cartoon character as the lead role on a show. Also we give the theme song of this show some grief.
