Not since CHESS: The Musical has a musical blown our minds in this fashion. We watched South Boy's visionary CONFESSIONS OF A THUG starring South Boy, JT Money, Gucci Mane (?), Lady of Rage. Our first JT Money, our first Lady of Rage, and definitely our first South Boy. Strap in, this is a banger. Also we're banking episodes so Ryan can go on pater…

We watched Renny Harlin's 2004 film MINDHUNTERS, starring LL Cool J, Val Kilmer, Christian Slater and Johnny Lee Miller's accent. We also do our first ever music video-devoted music segment. Watching this music video is ESSENTIAL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHUnANXBfgA&ab_channel=ClubExotica Follow Us: https://twitter.com/bodegaboxoffice Follo…

We finally watched it.By Bodega Box Office

Bills vs. Ices. 90 minute Walter Hill supreme. Tried a new episode format also. If you hate it, let us know on Twitter.By Bodega Box Office

We watched a wrestler thing! That means Chris from the bad wrestling podcast (currently on hiatus) had to join us. This one has Rob Van Dam, Dave Bautista, Ja Rule, Omarion and a whole gang of loose beef.By Bodega Box Office

Tom Waits plays Renfield and Gary Oldman plays 'White Suga Free' in bonkers Dracula adaptation that somehow made sense as mainstream entertainment in the nineteen hundred and nineties. Plus Ant picked TWO bangers that sample Tom Waits. One of them by Master P! Can you imagine! What music he makes!By Bodega Box Office

A scheduling snafu caused us to bring out a classic format. We cover every team in the league, with one exception. It's everything you'd expect from us doing a last minute NBA pod.By Bodega Box Office

(Sorry 4 Tha Wait) We watched a documentary that made us question the nature of documentaries as an art form. Well, some of us did. Sean just loves this shit. If you're looking for an earnest discussion about the Biggie and Tupac murder cases, there are probably other podcasts for you. If you're looking for a discussion about how sus documentaries …

We watched Penelope Spheeris' shelved (thanks SHARON)1999 documentary about Ozzfest '99. Is it officially part of her 'Decline of Western Civilization' documentary series? We think so. It features Black Sabbath, Slipknot, Rob Zombie, System of a Down, Fear Factory, Deftones, Primus, Slayer and many more. We get to talk Spheeris' career, and of cour…

We watched Cappadonna's re-dub of a 1971 HK Action Film called The Duel (aka Duel of The Iron Fist) also starring Shawn Wigs from Theodore Unit. It's unlike any other film we've covered, and somehow the quintessential BBO film. We also get to discuss Cappadonna, which is always a treat. Watch it here!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihHQZsK_JwM&ab…

CONTENT WARNING: This film explores SA in extreme detail. We discuss some of these themes in the episode. We watched a French film! A Sci Fi one! Andre 3000 starred in Claire Denis' 2018 film HIGH LIFE alongside the gawd Robert Pattinson. There is an audio issue in the second part of the episode - the music part. The timing might be off by MILLISEC…

This is Abe's fault! Abe Beame came through to watch the REMAKE of White Men Can't Jump with us. One guess as to how we reacted to a straight to streaming remake of a beloved film starring Louisville Kentucky's favorite white rapper... Still fun to talk to Abe though and we play some awesome music from Mr. Short Khop and Teyana Taylor.…

LONGEST EPISODE EVER. Michael Winterbottom's 2002 film 24 Hour Party People is a semi-fictionalized account of Factory Records in Manchester, covering the years 1976-1992. Joy Division, Happy Mondays, New Order, Durutti Column, A Certain Ratio, many many more get covered in an insanely entertaining film that the three of us have seen collectively a…

Our most ridiculous bit returns! With Sean away on assignment, Ant and Ryan return to BLADE: The Series, to try and remember wtf is going on with all of our friends in Detroit. Why? Well because BLADE was played by Sticky Fingaz from Onyx in the ill-fated SPIKE TV Series. Try and keep up.By Bodega Box Office

Hoo buddy this is a smart movie! We did our best to dissect one of the most thematically rich and thought provoking films we've ever seen, while still somehow delivering a healthy dose of rap in the form of an extended Fredro Starr cameo, plus a lot of Cypress Hill. God this movie rules.By Bodega Box Office

Man, we watched Ernest Dickersons horror exercise BONES (2001) starring Snoop Dogg just as he was growing into a Global Brand. We cover the genres referenced in the film, talk about Verhoeven, maggots, and the best possible era of Snoop Dogg's music.By Bodega Box Office

Our first non-rapper film, but rest assured we treat it like a rapper film. Country legend Dwight Yoakam is Raoul in David Fincher's PANIC ROOM. Sean knows Fincher. Ant knows country. I know nothing. Every movie is a rap movie.By Bodega Box Office

Sean's first full-time episode! The oft-requested Brotha Lynch Hung film NOW EAT. Like most Brotha Lynch Hung things, its about cannibalism. We talk a LOT about rap. More than usual. So if you're into the "rap part", that starts around 1:22. We also talk about the movie lots, because there is a lot to sink our teeth into. Sorry. Tracks Featured: XC…

Sean came through with a BANGER - Fred Durst's directorial effort in which Travolts plays a...well...forget it. Just listen we have an amazing time and yes, Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit is a rapper.By Bodega Box Office

We watched 1988's TOUGHER THAN LEATHER starring Run DMC, written and directed by Rick Rubin, who says the N word a LOT in this.By Bodega Box Office

Heavy D was in a William Friedkin joint! So we watched it, and to pad out our running time we watched a lesser CRYPT episode starring Isaac Hayes. We also discuss the crypt films, coups, Dennis Swanberg and Payne Stewart. It's mostly fine. Happy friggin spooky szn from the hardest working podcast in the game. CRYPT JAM https://www.youtube.com/watch…

Sean McTiernan came thru to talk Rammellzee in Jim Jarmusch' STRANGER THAN PARADISE. Possibly our most interconnected episode yet, going all the way back to Sean's first appearance on the pod, into his amazing episode about Rammellzee's art, and our own ep about WILD STYLE. All linked below, along with a great resource for all of Sean's other work.…

Writer and rap scholar Abe Beam (Passion of The Weiss) came through to discuss ABOVE THE RIM, an alleged classic and Tupac Shakur's final film to be released in his lifetime. We discuss basketball, whether the film is any good, Tupac's riveting performance. https://twitter.com/TheFakeAbeBeameBy Bodega Box Office

@VyceVictus from the Action For Everyone Podcast came through to discuss NOBODY (2021) starring Bob Odenkirk, RZA and Christopher Lloyd. We get to go deeper on the art of an action film, and of course get to explore our usual paranoia, wrapping the whole thing up with some international RZA bangers.By Bodega Box Office

A sub-60 minute banger, written, directed, produced by and starring Andre Nickatina. Ryan gets educated. Ant lets him know. Also an opportunity to play a ton of Nickatina's music.By Bodega Box Office

The legend Sean McTiernan (@nochorus on twitter - Live at The Death Factory is the podcast) came through to discuss Den of Thieves starring 50 Cent and Gerard Butler in ABSOLUTE UNIT mode. Yeah its HEAT for dum dums, but isn't that actually a good thing? Speaking of Heat, Ant brought it with his track selections. Stick around. https://twitter.com/N…

Rah Digga returns! We discuss the Jersey MC's performance in Thirteen Ghosts, a film destined to break the brains of horror "aficionados" everywhere.By Bodega Box Office

Shout out to this listener-submitted request! A completely bonkers crime drama from 2008 starring Busta Rhymes, Sticky Fingaz, Armand Assante, and Tom Berenger's Liquor Face.By Bodega Box Office

This found footage style film doesn't star any major rappers, but it definitely stands squarely in "rap movie" territory, following stick up man Curtis Snow as he steals and fights to get by in an Atlanta neighborhood known as "The Bluff"By Bodega Box Office

April Fools style, we watched CHESS: The Musical...for reasons.By Bodega Box Office

We finally watched the 2003 classic I ACCIDENTALLY DOMED YOUR SON starring Kurupt. No film has made it more clear how broken we are by this whole rap movie exercise. Or maybe we're just better for it. It's got a script! Good sound! Good jokes! Kurupt is in it! We loved it, so of course Ant had to dig up some unreleased Kurupt to celebrate.…

REST IN POWER TINY 'ZEUS' LISTER. We rushed an episode to pay homage to a fallen demigod. The president of the damn galaxy.By Bodega Box Office

It's Spooky Season, so we had to do our internet-mandated "horror" episode. So we dug up QUEEN OF THE DAMNED, a horror "musical"(?) featuring songs by Jonathan Davis of Korn and starring none other than Aaliyah. We REALLY try and talk about Aaliyah, but we also talk a lot about Korn's surprising crossovers into the rap world. We do find time to pla…

After getting ROASTED on University of Dope for not having seen 1995's DEAD PRESIDENTS, we finally watched this classic Vietnam epic, starring Sticky Fingaz, Heather B, Larenz Tate, Bokeem Woodbine, Michael Imperioli, Chris Tucker, Keith David, Clifton Powell, Terrence Howard, and many more. Directed by the Hughes Brothers, this was the follow up t…

Sean came through to discuss D-Shot's film DON'T GET CAUGHT starring E-40, Snoop Dogg, B-Legit, Bushwick Bill, Mike Epps and many more. The music part starts at 1:05 and goes about an hour.By Bodega Box Office

Chris from the Bad Wrestling Podcast (@badwrespodcast) came through to talk about that one time in 1999 when Master P, Silk The Shocker and C-Murder all graced the WCW squared circle to do battle with some rap-hating cowboys from Minnesota. It's a lot. It's a wrestling thing so most of the episode is just me asking dumb questions and these two wres…

We watched the rap musical. We attempt to answer the question of "why" it is rap, and "what" are the weirder implications of giving the founding fathers this treatment. Filmmaker and critic Scout Tafoya (@honors_zombie) joins us to try and figure it out. And Anthony had a baby! So we get to celebrate that before we spend a lot of time well...not ce…

Abe Beame (@TheFakeAbeBeame) came through to discuss The Carter, the 2008 documentary following Lil Wayne in the portentous months before his greatest success with The Carter III. Its a dark look at his incredible (and incredibly self destructive) creative process at a time when there was literally no one better on the mic. Abe pitched this episode…

We finally did it! Nate from the Kings of Sport podcast came through to watch the Outkast musical, IDLEWILD starring Big Boi, Andre 3000, Terrence Howard, Macy Gray and more. We all have strong opinions about Outkast, so we get into our feelings pretty quick on this one. We struggle, but ultimately find a lot to love in this messy masterpiece. We a…

For a few short weeks, ESPN's The Last Dance was the best piece of basketball content on the planet. Well here's the second best. We watched 1993's MTV Rock and Jock Basketball. The third annual, which overlaps tidily with The Last Dance. Its got Dan Majerle, Rick Mahorn, Ed Lover, Bill Bellamy, Dan Cortez, Tag Team performing at half time, Jon Ste…

Watch this movie! It's free on Youtube and it's great. Mack 10 and Fat Joe play one time rivals turned business partners caught between hustling and the creative process. It was produced by Mack 10 himself with some help by Priority Films, and it has everyone in it - Ice Cube, Big Pun, B-Real, Krayzie and Layzie Bone, MC Eiht as a guy who sucks at …

HUSTLERS was one of the best films of 2019 and we watched it with our good friend Abbey. We talk a lot about the 2008 financial crash, feature some rappers who were also strippers, and we collectively freak out over THAT scene. You know the one. Abbey is @drunkhousewife on InstagramBy Bodega Box Office

The Master of Disguise film starring Dana Carvey has been a longtime running joke between us and Brandon Soderberg, an incredible writer from Baltimore. We always said we'd find a way to talk about it through a rap lens, and April Fools seemed like the right opportunity, given the success of our SPICE WORLD Episode. So that's what we did. We had a …

We did it! Critic and Filmmaker Scout Tafoya (@honors_zombie) returns to the show to talk about ANACONDA, a 90 minute classic starring Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube. There are too many dick jokes, just enough Jon Voigt impressions, Anthony losing the will to live, a covert CATS podcast (at 55 minutes in) and a TRULY horrid musical drop. You have been…

We did it! We watched the movie that is long. Action Bronson made his acting debut in the last five seconds of a five hour movie. Sean McTiernan, Irish movie genius and now one of the few non-suspect Yotubers came through to watch and discuss this Action Bronson classic. The episode is also long. Because we are good at podcasting. Watch Sean's Yout…

We made it! Episode 100 so you know we had to do a classic. Proud to say we didn't fuck it up, except for the abysmal live commentary we tried to record but we won't talk about that. It's a great episode covering what is arguably patient zero for the rap movie movement.By Bodega Box Office

Rest in power Rip Torn! The passing of a legend, paired with the fact that Canadian TV personality Tom Green is a real-deal rapper was enough reason to watch this monument to weird cinema. Freddy Got Fingered is the film Tom Green wrote and directed when he was at the height of his fame, and there is no way in hell this film could have been made at…

We watched a 4th of July CLASSIC. Sike its not really a classic. Its no ROLL BOUNCE, thats for sure. But it IS a chance for us to talk a lot about T-Pain, and Field Mob too for some reason. So there's that.By Bodega Box Office

Machine Gun Kelly is a rapper. He is in a movie about Motley Crue. Which is enough of a reason for us to watch a movie about Motley Crue for this silly silly podcast. As you might guess, we talk a LOT about Crue, but we do find some time at the end to discuss other rappers from Cleveland, and a little bit about Machine Gun Kelly's beef with Eminem.…

We celebrate the career of the late John Singleton by watching one of his classics. Higher Learning, starring Ice Cube and Busta. But this isn't a straight eulogy. Still the same two idiots talking about a rap movie.By Bodega Box Office
