EPISODE 100: New Jack City (Ice-T, Fab Five Freddy, Flava Flav)
We finally did it. Episode 100. You voted, so we watched a classic. NEW JACK CITY, directed by Mario Van Peebles, featuring Ice-T in his first starring role. It also has Fab Five Freddy, Flava Flav, every New Jack Swing artist ever, Eek A Mouse, Keith Sweat, and more. It’s a great movie, and arguably patient zero for the “rapper as serious actor” thing. We discuss the movie in-depth, along with a pretty fun conspiracy theory, Queen Latifah’s music, and Judd Nelson’s suspect gloves.
