1:13

man , I'm feeling good . I'm feeling great

1:15

. I

1:17

went out tonight with my wife and

1:19

my youngest daughter and we

1:21

went to go see the Bob

1:24

Marley one love movie . So

1:26

I'll definitely going to give a

1:28

somewhat of a spoiler free

1:30

review on

1:33

that later on in the episode , for

1:35

sure . So stick around . We're going to do that in the breakdown

1:37

. It's been a while since I talked about

1:39

some music . So yeah , we're definitely

1:42

going to get into that . Also

1:45

, we got some stuff that

1:47

we got to get to in the quick hits and

1:49

we're going to start it off with a little bit of James

1:52

Gunn and DCU news

1:54

. He made some announcements

1:56

for Superman Legacy . Now if

1:59

you have been listening

2:01

to the show for the past , you know couple

2:03

months or so you know that

2:05

your boy is super excited

2:07

about the James Gunn Peter Saffron

2:10

takeover over there at DC and

2:13

I'm actually excited for this . Super

2:16

. Who would have thought

2:18

? Okay , I've never really got

2:20

into Superman In

2:24

the comics . I did collect a few issues

2:26

recently , the Joshua

2:28

Williamson run , like the first

2:31

five or six issues of that

2:33

run because Jamal Campbell

2:35

was doing the artwork

2:37

for it . But once he got off I

2:39

kind of got off . So I'm not really like a

2:42

huge Superman fan , like

2:44

that man , like unfortunately

2:47

, I'm just not like he's . He's cool , he

2:49

ain't . But I

2:51

am a James Gunn fan and I'm excited

2:53

about this movie . He's been

2:55

, you know , answering questions all over social

2:57

media . There was actually

2:59

a

3:02

one of those DC phone

3:04

calls the other day or earlier

3:07

this week where David

3:09

Zasloff was just talking about what he's

3:11

seen so far

3:13

of the new DC stuff

3:16

you know , led by James Gunn

3:18

and Peter Saffron , and he's excited about

3:20

it . He loves what they're doing Investor

3:23

calls , I think that's what it's called an investor's call , but

3:26

you know he's excited about what

3:29

he's seeing and he definitely

3:31

knows that we'll all be

3:33

seeing some things soon

3:35

. And you

3:37

know , someone asked James Gunn that question

3:40

on social media I think it was threads and

3:42

he asked if they were going to be

3:44

talking

3:47

about or making any further

3:49

announcements at , like , comic Con

3:51

or anything like that or , like you know , live streaming

3:54

, and James Gunn kind of just replied , like

3:56

are those the only options ? You know , like you

3:58

know , just being funny . So that means

4:00

we're just going to be getting some stuff . Probably

4:03

in the next couple months we're going to be learning more

4:06

, maybe some new announcements Hopefully

4:08

. I ain't gonna lie , man . I really

4:10

hope he announces at least one milestone

4:13

project . They really got us hyped

4:15

up when they were bringing milestone back

4:17

and they were talking animated stuff , they

4:19

were talking movies

4:21

and all this stuff like that , and

4:24

my good friends over at the Black Comic

4:26

Lords actually touched on this , I

4:30

want to say , wednesday night , and

4:32

they were talking about , you know , if they

4:34

would just give us something with static , you

4:36

know that would just be fire and I have 100%

4:39

agree . So I'm hoping that they announce

4:41

something with milestone in the Elseworld

4:44

area , because I mean

4:46

, you have this Elseworld situation

4:49

with DC where you got stuff like the

4:51

Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves , batman

4:53

, the

4:56

Joker , like all these things that don't

4:58

really connect . So you do you have the

5:00

opportunity to do it , so hopefully

5:02

they do . But you know that's really cool

5:04

that David Zasloff

5:06

is happy , you know , with what's

5:09

going on with the

5:11

new DC MCU , because

5:14

he was cutting a lot of stuff out

5:16

, trimming the fat and getting DC

5:18

together and

5:22

you know so far he's excited about what

5:24

you know James Gunn and Peter Saffron

5:26

are bringing . But there was also

5:28

some big news

5:32

trending recently with

5:35

James Gunn as well in DC

5:37

. He kind of talked

5:39

about the Superman project , like

5:42

I mentioned earlier . But he basically said

5:45

in this quote he said I'm overjoyed

5:48

to be announcing the start of principal

5:50

photography on Superman

5:52

. He did this in all caps today , february

5:55

29 , which just so happens

5:57

to be coincidentally

6:01

I was , can't pronounce that word an

6:04

unplanned Superman's birthday

6:07

. So they're starting the shooting

6:09

, the principal photography , on Superman's

6:12

anniversary . So that's really dope

6:14

. And

6:16

then he also kind of talked like he

6:19

talked about the

6:21

title and if you

6:23

go and read this quote you can find this on varietycom

6:25

. He

6:27

put Superman in all caps , right , and

6:30

we've all been , you

6:32

know talking about this movie and

6:34

we've been putting Superman legacy . Well

6:36

, he got into that , he said when I finished

6:38

the first draft of the script , I

6:40

called the film Superman legacy

6:42

. By the time I locked the

6:45

final draft , it was clear

6:47

the title was Superman

6:49

and this is in all caps . He added

6:51

making our way to

6:53

you July 2025

6:57

. So that's really cool , man . Just some more

6:59

updates about this first

7:02

movie that's gonna be coming out and then you

7:04

know I've spoke

7:06

about this before , but this movie has

7:08

a lot of pressure on it . It

7:11

needs to set the tone for the DCU

7:13

. Unfortunately

7:15

, that's what happens

7:18

when you're first you know . So James

7:20

Gunn is is well vested in this

7:22

and , yeah

7:25

, I'm looking forward to seeing what he brings

7:28

to this movie . Moving

7:30

on , you know we got some news

7:32

from Jeffrey Wright and

7:37

his role in the

7:39

Batman and or the Batman 2

7:41

, which I still don't

7:43

think they got in scripts for that , that

7:45

movie yet . But it makes sense

7:47

because Matt Reeves is

7:50

just now finishing up on

7:52

the Penguin series

7:54

, which kind of got delayed because

7:56

of the writer strike

7:58

and everything like that an actor strike so

8:01

he wasn't able to really work

8:03

on the Batman , but Jeffrey

8:05

Wright was doing an interview because he

8:08

was nominated for an Oscar for

8:10

his movie . What's

8:14

the movie called American fiction

8:16

. There we go , american fiction , you're bugging a little old , but

8:19

, man , what if you haven't seen American fiction

8:21

? Please , yeah , man , please

8:23

, go see that movie . It is an incredible

8:25

movie . Jeffrey Wright did his thing

8:27

in there . Damn , what's

8:29

the ? What's the actress's name ? She

8:31

played Maxine on Living Single . But

8:34

yeah , she's in there , erica

8:37

Wright . No , erica

8:40

, can't think of her last name

8:42

right now , but she played Max on Living

8:44

Single . So I was , I was

8:46

really excited about that movie and

8:48

before I saw it and then it got

8:51

like limited

8:53

release and I was kind of like sad about that . But then I

8:55

got a chance to see it . Once it finally got

8:57

like you know , it got released

9:00

everywhere and man , what a

9:02

freaking movie . Yo go check that out

9:04

if you haven't watched it . But he was being

9:06

interviewed about that . And then he was asked

9:08

about the Batman 2 and

9:10

he kind of gave his thoughts on , you

9:12

know , the character that he plays , which is Jim

9:15

Gordon , and he was saying that

9:17

he would love for Matt

9:19

Reeves to do

9:22

more of like

9:25

a background story with Jim

9:27

Gordon , like dig a little deeper , kind

9:29

of like talk about his private life . You

9:32

know , like , what happens when Jim

9:34

Gordon takes off his mask

9:36

. You know essentially of you know

9:38

working with Batman and being on these streets

9:40

at Gotham , like how is his life

9:42

at home and what are some of the things

9:44

that he has to deal with . And , honestly

9:47

, you know , when you give an Oscar Award

9:49

nominated acting

9:52

job or role , I feel

9:54

like you can ask for things like this . So

9:58

I feel like this is perfect timing for him

10:00

to put this out in

10:02

interview and I honestly I think

10:04

it is kind of a good idea

10:06

to like dig a little deeper with Jim Gordon

10:09

, because you know he's he's

10:11

a super important character in

10:14

Gotham and his

10:16

life has been

10:18

very , very

10:20

crazy . You know when , even when

10:23

he's not dealing with Batman and and

10:25

it's a very interesting story and I

10:28

wanted to talk about real

10:31

quick just some of the top Jim Gordon

10:33

comic books

10:36

that you know that

10:38

you , that you should probably read , and

10:40

some of them that I've actually read and pulling on my

10:43

list right now , work with me . Here we go

10:45

. So the first one is killing joke , crazy

10:47

story , brutal story . Some

10:49

things happen to Barbara Gordon

10:52

via the Joker and

10:54

it is just an insane story . There

10:56

is a animated movie out about

10:59

it , but I would suggest reading the comic because it's

11:01

just crazy . Black

11:03

mirror , which is another

11:05

story revolving

11:08

around Jim Gordon and his family , but this

11:10

time it's about his son , and

11:12

that that was just a beautiful

11:14

story it was . It was

11:16

it was sad . In certain

11:18

points it was just very good

11:21

. It's one of those page Turner comics

11:23

, but obviously I read it in the

11:25

trade and the person behind

11:27

the Bat cow is not who you think

11:29

it is , so that's a really good one . Another

11:32

one , batman year one . Obviously

11:34

we've already kind of did a year

11:36

one story almost , but it was

11:38

more like year two . So

11:40

Jim Gordon and Batman already kind of

11:42

like already had a relationship , but

11:44

in this , like you're getting

11:46

like the the

11:49

foundation of their relationship and

11:51

how they both decide

11:53

to like take on Gotham . So that's

11:55

a really good story . No man's land

11:57

is one that I haven't read yet . I

12:00

know I need to . It's on my list of

12:02

Batman stories . Gotham Central

12:05

is another one that I have not read and

12:08

the funny thing is I actually have volume one

12:11

of that trade paperback and

12:13

I sold it back to Kaboom

12:16

, back to Isaac , because

12:18

I found out that they were coming out with a like a

12:20

compendium , but hardcover

12:23

and it had all the stories in there and

12:25

I honestly I never went and bought it . But

12:27

I do want that book eventually . But

12:29

there's a lot to get

12:32

into with with Jim Gordon

12:34

and I think DC should

12:37

definitely do that . Man Like I don't . I don't

12:39

see why they

12:41

would think that will be a bad thing to

12:44

take a little bit off of Pattinson

12:47

and the Batman story . But it just depends

12:49

on what direction they're going in and who the

12:51

villain's going to be and how I can kind of

12:53

all tie together . But it'll

12:56

be interesting to see . And that'll

12:58

do it for the quick hits with

13:01

. This week . There are some stuff that came

13:03

out about um Thunderbolts

13:05

and how Sebastian

13:07

Stan , aka Bucky

13:09

Barnes , aka the Winter Soldier , is

13:12

not really going to have that big of a role

13:14

. Possibly , like

13:17

his name is Daniel Ratman . He was like one of

13:19

those industry insiders who we talk

13:21

about a lot of his topics sometimes

13:23

are here on this show . I really think he's a paid insider

13:25

. But whatever he's saying

13:28

, that Winter Soldier's role

13:30

will be a little bit Low-key

13:32

in this movie and they're going to focus more

13:34

on the other characters , which I'm not mad

13:36

at . I mean , I feel like we've gotten enough

13:39

of the Bucky Barnes Winter

13:41

Soldier story . I wouldn't be surprised

13:43

if he gets killed off in this story , in

13:45

this movie Be honest with you just to be brought back

13:47

in secret wars . But I

13:50

didn't want to go too crazy on that because it

13:53

is what it is . So , uh

13:55

, yeah , with that said , we're going to take a quick break . We're

13:57

going to come back with , uh , some comic

13:59

book talk . Uh , I read three

14:01

stories . I have a lot of stories to read

14:04

, but I have read , I got a chance to read three of them

14:06

and , uh , we'll talk about them on

14:08

the other side after this . It's

14:13

the one and one hundred podcast . Keep

14:23

, keep , keep it 100 and

14:36

we are back . You are

14:38

listening to the one and one hundred podcast . I

14:41

am your host , amir , aka the

14:43

black podcaster . Welcome back , welcome

14:45

back . Uh , listen , it's

14:48

. It's been a crazy ass week , man

14:50

, I'll be honest with you guys . Um

14:53

, I did a post on on

14:56

my instagram page as

15:01

I take a drag . It is awesome cigar ain't gonna lie

15:03

man . This is , um , this

15:05

is called deadwood . Sweet

15:09

Jane , I think it's by um

15:11

, I

15:13

think it's by druis states , but this

15:16

is a really , really good cigarillo

15:18

, little small one . Hold

15:20

on one second . Let me like this thing . Yeah

15:23

, that's nice man . It's like sweet , like chocolate . I ain't

15:25

gonna front , I like that . But I did a post

15:28

on my instagram page and

15:31

I was talking about staying

15:33

in your lane and how important that is

15:35

, uh , and how you can kind

15:38

of Mess

15:40

things up for a lot of other people when

15:43

you don't stay in your lane . And

15:45

the reason why it's important to stay in your lane

15:47

is because god has a plan for you and I'm not gonna

15:50

sit here and preach because we want to talk about some books

15:52

. But you know

15:54

, I did post that on there and I and

15:56

I feel like it's important to remind

15:58

people to stay in their lane sometimes , uh

16:01

, and I remind myself to stay in my lane all

16:03

the time . You know I see other shows

16:06

. I watch other . You know

16:08

other shows in the community . I hit

16:10

that like button . You know I listen

16:12

to the black comic lords

16:14

and um , bj

16:17

kicks . You know I see what he's doing every

16:19

week with putting out the books are coming out

16:21

every week , very informative , um

16:23

, when it comes to that type of stuff , you

16:26

know , and I listen to all the other podcasts , like , not

16:28

just in the comic book space and sometimes

16:30

you tend

16:32

to want to get out of your lane and

16:34

do what other people are doing . Um

16:37

, because you feel that it works and

16:39

you know , I have to remind myself , nobody

16:42

can do what I do and

16:44

and nobody can do it the way that I like

16:46

the way that I do it , you know , and

16:48

I can't do things the way other people do

16:50

things . You know , I got to stay in this lane . I've been

16:52

podcasting , uh , since

16:54

2018 , and

16:57

you know it's it's slowly

16:59

growing , but it's growing and the

17:01

more I do , the more I work at it

17:03

, the more people are going to be here . You're

17:06

here and I appreciate you , so I'm gonna

17:08

stay in my lane , I'm gonna do what

17:10

I have to do , but , yeah , I definitely had to post

17:12

that on instagram today , but

17:14

you know , enough of that , let's get into it . It's time

17:16

for Read of

17:19

the Week . Yes

17:22

, yes , yes , you heard what I said is reads of the week

17:24

, man , and if you're new to the podcast , this is

17:26

when I get an opportunity to talk about some

17:28

of the books that I read

17:30

this week , or you know that might

17:32

have came out this week or came out last week

17:34

, um . So

17:36

it's uh . You know , I started off doing this show

17:38

only talking about comic books and music

17:41

and then it slowly went into the

17:43

, the trending topics of things . But

17:45

you know , I love comics and I love

17:47

reading them and this week was actually a really

17:49

dope week for me , Um

17:51

, and my fandom , uh , because

17:54

Miles Morales , issue 17 , came

17:56

out , and spiderpunk

17:59

issue one of

18:01

volume two came out is called arms

18:04

race came out and , um

18:06

, it's written by the same

18:08

writer , you know , it's written by the

18:10

same writer , the great Cody

18:13

Ziegler . Shout out to him and

18:15

he , uh , to me

18:17

. This is what I love Seeing

18:19

in comic books when a

18:22

black man could put out two

18:24

comics that are

18:26

the story is revolving

18:29

around black characters . He

18:31

put both of these comics out on the same

18:33

imprint , the same day and

18:36

it's just super dope , man . Like . That's

18:40

black excellence in my pay , in my opinion

18:42

, uh , and I'm so happy

18:44

for Cody Ziegler . I've actually

18:47

done . It was a weird

18:49

type of interview . He didn't have time

18:51

to like actually sit down with me

18:53

, so I sent him questions and

18:55

he answered the questions and that just kind of

18:57

like showed off my editing skills . So

19:00

if you definitely , you know , if you get a chance , definitely

19:02

go back and listen to that episode with Cody Ziegler

19:04

man . But , um , he's a great

19:07

, freaking writer man . I really could

19:09

not stand Gang wars

19:11

. Literally . The only

19:13

reason why I read Anything

19:16

from gang wars is one I don't

19:18

miss out on uh

19:21

, miles Morales . That's

19:25

my , that's my comic book

19:27

spider-man . I grew up watching

19:29

Peter Parker and amazing

19:31

spider-man . You know cartoons and everything , like

19:33

everybody else that grew up in the 90s . But

19:36

when I started reading

19:38

comics I found Miles

19:40

Morales and I went back and got

19:42

old stuff , you know , and I've never stopped

19:44

. So I was going to read that story

19:46

regardless , because it's just

19:48

Miles , it's in my pool . So

19:51

I picked that up and I picked up , um

19:54

, the Luke Cage stuff because

19:56

Rodney Barnes was writing that . But

19:58

gang wars , to me , was just wasn't

20:00

any good . It wasn't like I

20:03

don't like doing crossovers , no more . So I'm I'm

20:05

going to be hating , hating on it , period . But

20:07

I will say Cody Ziegler wrote his ass

20:09

off in that whole storyline and

20:12

now he's able to get back to his story

20:14

, even though he tied his

20:16

story into it . Of course . I mean , that's what you're supposed

20:18

to do , man

20:22

. This is a really good cigar , but

20:24

that's what you're supposed to do , but

20:27

it just took . It just took the steam out of things for me

20:29

for a little bit , but he's such

20:31

a good writer . He made his

20:33

part of the story pretty , pretty interesting

20:35

. So so

20:39

, when now we're on issue , I think it's 17

20:42

and it's actually legacy

20:44

number 299

20:48

, so I'm pretty sure I have every

20:50

single book . So , yeah , this would be my

20:52

299 issue

20:54

of of Miles Morales

20:57

, which is super dope and

21:00

this was a big issue . Man rabble

21:03

, who has been Trying

21:06

to kill miles more Alice and she had popped on the

21:08

scene in this story

21:10

. She's , you know

21:13

, she's back with the vengeance and you

21:15

know , agent gal

21:17

, who was a part of the gang wars

21:19

, is not feeling like she's getting

21:21

the respect she deserves in In

21:24

New York City right now . So she's

21:26

choosing sides , which I thought was pretty interesting

21:29

. But I just

21:31

love the fact that we still are getting misty

21:33

night in this story . We're

21:36

still getting damn , what's her name ? Miles's

21:38

girlfriend , she's in this story

21:40

like it's just a super cool book and

21:43

it's setting up some craziness

21:45

to go down with the

21:48

issue 300 or

21:50

issue 18 , legacy number 300

21:52

. So I'm looking forward to that . On the other

21:54

side you got spiderpunk Arms

21:57

race . That was really cool , really

21:59

fun . We're getting a glimpse

22:01

at Doc Ock

22:03

in this story and you

22:06

know he's creating Something

22:09

to kind of take

22:11

over the city . We'll just say that . And

22:13

of course Miles has his team , or not miles

22:15

he be brown has his team of

22:20

Misfits you know his punks and

22:22

they're . They're rocking out all over the city as far

22:24

as the fighting goes . But we actually

22:26

got two new characters , quote-unquote

22:28

, introduced in in this

22:31

, in this universe

22:33

. We got spoilers

22:35

for the spoiler . If you don't want to hear this move

22:38

forward and don't , don't , don't

22:40

listen , I'm sorry . All right

22:42

, you're ready , you turn me down or you , whatever

22:45

you might have done . We

22:47

got to challa insuring this drop

22:49

, let's drop a bomb for them for that . You

22:52

know . We got to challa insurey making

22:54

an appearance in this and it's actually an older

22:56

version of to challa and

23:00

sure , he's like probably teenagers

23:02

still , but it's an older version of To

23:06

challa . So I really enjoyed

23:09

that read . I read

23:11

Six fingers

23:13

. I think that's what it's called . Six

23:15

fingers . It's

23:19

the book that I talked about Maybe

23:22

last week or the week before , where

23:26

it's called like the one hand is

23:28

a four issue , many written by Ram

23:30

V , and then yeah

23:34

, the six fingers is a four

23:36

issue , many written by

23:38

his partner , dan

23:40

waiters , and this side of the story

23:42

, you

23:45

know , because it's like a crossover event , you

23:47

know . But you're getting two different points

23:49

of views . So you get a point of view of the detective

23:51

, you get a point of view of the

23:53

, the person that's behind these crimes

23:55

. So we actually get the origin story

23:58

of this character in this . We find

24:00

out how he got that , that sixth finger

24:02

, and we're also finding

24:04

out that maybe he doesn't know

24:06

that he , you know , has

24:09

issues . Was just leaving at that , but really dope

24:12

, really dope story . I got some other stuff

24:14

that I got to read that I picked

24:16

up this week . I

24:18

gotta read Duke , and

24:20

what else do I gotta read ? I

24:23

gotta read Duke and I gotta read

24:26

Ministry of compliance

24:28

, for sure , issue what to

24:30

I gotta read ? Or issue three

24:32

maybe . Think

24:36

is yeah , yeah , issue three , and

24:38

I gotta read new burn , issue 15 . I

24:41

think it's the penultimate issue . And

24:44

I gotta read Cobra commander . I didn't , I didn't

24:46

read that last week . So , yeah , I got nice

24:48

little weekend here Scheduled

24:50

for myself and I do . I might

24:52

go pick up Zorro man of the dead issue

24:55

to cause my issue . One was actually pretty dope Not

24:58

going for it . But yeah , that was some

25:00

some of the books that I read

25:02

this this

25:05

week From from new comic

25:07

book day and some from you know one from last

25:09

week . Oh , real quick

25:11

, before we get out of reads of the week , a

25:13

book that I read and Enjoyed

25:17

off the recommendation of my brother K , shout

25:20

out to the Chabada boys . Hopefully we'll

25:22

be getting back soon If

25:24

we can get something squared

25:26

away in a better situation

25:28

in my recording space . But Justice

25:33

League or Jurassic League Jurassic

25:35

League , that is another A comic

25:38

book insider . I

25:40

don't remember this one's name , but he said

25:42

that DC Is

25:47

actually well , james Gunn is

25:50

actually planning on Turning

25:53

the Jurassic League by

25:55

Daniel Warren Johnson Into

25:57

an animated series . Not

26:00

gonna knock on la y'all , that's

26:03

a freaking amazing book . It's a very

26:06

awesome story . I read it in trade . K

26:09

was picking it up weekly or monthly . I

26:11

mean , he was enjoying it , man . He was loving it , love

26:13

it , love it's like . My goal is to get a mirror to read this

26:15

and I did and it was freaking

26:18

amazing . So if they turn this into an animated

26:20

series , let's see . I

26:22

ain't gonna be mad . I ain't gonna be mad

26:24

at all , okay

26:29

. So yeah , I can't wait to see if that's actually

26:31

true or not . But all right

26:33

, that's it for reason . A week we're

26:36

zooming through man . So

26:39

I wanted to talk about something in the breakdown

26:41

. I mean , in the breakdown I had

26:43

a topic that I wanted to

26:46

discuss , but we can do it at

26:48

a later date because I was able to go out

26:50

and see Bob

26:53

Marley . One man I

26:59

ain't gonna front , man , I ain't gonna

27:01

lie Almost

27:06

cried in this movie . Yo , I

27:10

almost cried in

27:12

this movie , and

27:15

it's because

27:18

of Of

27:20

what I said about staying

27:23

in your lane . So I had this moment

27:25

earlier today at work , right

27:27

. Then I go see this movie

27:30

. One love

27:32

and you

27:35

know I'm not close . I'm gonna try not to spoil

27:37

this , got no , not everybody can go out to the movies

27:39

. So I'm gonna do my best to dance

27:41

around this thing . But one thing I will say Bob

27:44

Marley knew his lane and he

27:47

stayed in it . He

27:50

knew his purpose and

27:53

he stayed in it . He knew

27:55

the course that his God

27:57

had for him and

28:02

he rode it all the way into . The wheels fell

28:04

off at the age of 36 and

28:07

this

28:09

movie it's

28:12

not one of those movies where they start off with baby

28:14

Bob and then teenage Bob

28:16

, and then get discovered Bob

28:18

, and now he's older

28:21

and , you know , success , like it wasn't

28:23

like that . They picked a certain time

28:25

period of his life Right

28:29

before , like a little bit before

28:31

things really jumped off

28:33

globally and

28:35

it went from

28:37

there to the , you know , kind

28:40

of to the end of his life . So , but

28:42

it hit all of his major

28:45

points that

28:47

we , that you know fans , know , but

28:50

they didn't know the things that

28:52

were taking place behind the scenes

28:54

. All right , and there

28:58

was a lot of moments in this movie , you

29:00

know , when it came to some of the songs that they picked

29:03

for him

29:05

to perform on them in the movie . First

29:07

off , let me just say the cast . Wow , I

29:09

don't even know how I skip past this

29:12

. The cast was amazing . King

29:15

, kingsley , kingsley

29:17

I think his name is Ben , ben , idea

29:19

, I think that's how you say his name , but

29:21

Kingsley that's , I know that's his first name he

29:25

actually did an incredible job

29:27

as Bob Marley

29:29

. It

29:32

was times where I didn't understand what the hell he was

29:34

saying , but

29:37

that's what made it feel

29:39

even more realistic Because

29:42

, like , if I was , you know , a

29:44

young man at that

29:47

time talking to Bob

29:49

Marley , there was probably going to be some things

29:51

I was going to need him to repeat . You

29:53

know it wasn't going to be . You

29:55

know , straight through conversation , you

29:58

know there was going to be some things that would get lost in translation

30:00

. So he did an incredible

30:03

job . The

30:05

actress that played Rita , martin Marley

30:07

, did an incredible job and

30:09

their love story , their

30:12

love story , her support for him

30:14

, wow , wow

30:17

. I will say this you

30:19

know I

30:21

think I have my Rita

30:24

Marley for sure . I'm

30:26

not her Bob Marley . I ain't out here making

30:28

babies all over the place with

30:30

a whole bunch of different women . You know

30:32

like I'm not doing that , but

30:34

you know she does support me

30:36

. My wife does support me in

30:38

a way where I'm

30:41

able to come out here and record my podcast

30:43

and you know she asked me how it went

30:46

and things like that , you know . So you

30:48

know . And then we can go out and have dinner

30:50

and laugh at home and watch TV

30:52

shows and you know I feel inspired

30:54

by her in certain things , maybe

30:56

not with the podcasting , but with other

30:59

ideas and things that we want to do

31:01

together . So you know it

31:03

was emotional because I feel like I found

31:06

that woman and then

31:08

to see my Rita Marley and

31:11

then to see . You

31:14

know the things that her

31:17

and Bob were dealing with , but you

31:19

know her to always keep it real with him , no

31:21

matter what . Wow , that was , that

31:24

was beautiful , okay , so that

31:26

was awesome . I love

31:28

being able to see some

31:30

of the moments where he was writing or

31:32

creating some of these songs

31:34

and things like that . One of my

31:36

favorite songs is Exodus . I

31:38

love that song . I love war . That's

31:41

an amazing song . Of

31:43

course , I love steer it up or

31:45

and and is

31:48

it called funky reggae party ? It's a funky

31:50

reggae party . Yeah

31:56

, I love that song . So , of

31:59

course , buffalo soldier and all these things

32:01

, you know jamming

32:03

and you know he just

32:05

has so many freaking hits

32:07

and even when

32:09

his you know his

32:11

the label that he was signed

32:14

to knew he was talented . There

32:16

was always , there was still some pushback on

32:19

certain music that he wanted to put out

32:21

, but he knew his lane and

32:23

he knew his , his , what

32:26

his journey had to be . So

32:28

, man , it was just a beautiful

32:30

movie . Don't go in there expecting

32:33

a lot of performances

32:36

, you know , you

32:39

know . So I'm glad that I heard that before

32:41

I saw the movie , because I would

32:43

have probably been a little bit sad , but the

32:46

amount of performances you get in this movie

32:48

is perfect . And you

32:51

know , at the beginning of the movie

32:53

you get told

32:55

like this is about

32:57

the stuff that you guys may not know

32:59

. You know what I'm saying . So that

33:02

was really cool . Yeah

33:04

, definitely go see the movie and I will say

33:06

you can take your kids to see

33:09

this . We took

33:11

our youngest daughter . She had been wanting

33:13

to . You know she wanted to see it . She's kind

33:15

of like my biopic kid or biopic

33:17

kid she likes to see , you know

33:19

, movies about artists and

33:22

stuff like that . So , like

33:24

we all want to go see the Whitney Houston movie together

33:26

, us three , we went to go see this one . I

33:28

told her like hey , we got to go see the Michael

33:30

Jackson movie when that comes out and you best believe

33:32

your boy is going to be talking about that when

33:34

that comes out . But

33:37

, man , you know for

33:39

for Bob Marley to pass away at

33:41

36 years old from Melanoma

33:45

, which is a skin cancer

33:47

, for him to pass away at that age

33:50

and

33:52

I'm sure he passed away in a in a , in

33:55

peace , because he was very religious , you

33:58

know , for him to pass away at the age of 36

34:00

and for him to still be

34:03

, like , as popular

34:05

as he is and known , well

34:07

known . You know kids may not know

34:09

his name but a lot of

34:11

kids know a lot of his songs

34:14

and you know I

34:16

don't want to put like I

34:21

hate going through and comparisons and stuff

34:23

, but I'm going to say it I

34:25

feel like Bob Marley is probably

34:28

on the

34:30

Michael Jackson level as far as being

34:32

known worldwide and

34:36

that's really dope . You know , the

34:38

diet 36 and your

34:40

legacy lives on for this

34:42

long , like he has lived , like

34:45

his legacy is outlived , him Like

34:48

. I mean , he

34:50

passed away at 36 in 1981

34:54

. You know I was born in 86

34:56

, you know I'm

34:59

37 . So his

35:01

, his legacy of what he's done is

35:03

actually live longer than Bob Marley is

35:05

going to live longer . You

35:07

know it's going to live longer than me . So

35:10

you know it's just

35:12

really cool to see

35:14

, you know , representation

35:17

of a black man , his black

35:19

wife and the

35:22

message that they were trying to spread , which

35:24

was love , peace

35:26

, freedom , harmony

35:28

. You know joy

35:31

, laughter , family

35:34

. You know like that

35:36

was an incredible message and

35:39

there is a great documentary called Marley that you

35:41

can definitely go see . That goes into

35:43

even more about his life

35:45

. But just to see this on the screen

35:47

, you know one of my cousins Shout

35:51

out to my big , my big cousin , kadeer . He

35:54

had said in a group chat I

35:57

think I had sent some stuff about

35:59

the Michael Jackson movie and , and

36:02

he was like yo , this is awesome , but

36:06

when are we gonna be getting some Stories

36:09

like that have not been told or

36:11

or something like that ? I can't remember exactly

36:14

how you put it , but I want

36:16

it was more on the lines of like , why

36:18

did like ? We know so much about these people

36:20

? Why do we keep telling their stories

36:22

over and over again ? Like , let's get some new

36:24

stories . And you

36:26

know , I , I , I agree

36:29

with part of that , and the

36:31

part I agree with is , yes , we need

36:33

new stories . We

36:36

need new stories , yes , but

36:38

the stories that they're

36:40

choosing to tell right

36:43

now , I feel they're

36:47

amazing . They have to be told over

36:49

and over again because these

36:52

are people that did

36:54

a super hero

36:57

type of shit , whether

36:59

it be their music

37:01

going all around the world or

37:04

their message , you know , of love

37:06

, or just their ability

37:08

to Perform and sing

37:11

. Like some of this stuff no one's

37:13

ever going to be able to do again , because

37:15

Everybody's , everybody's

37:17

always being compared to some of these Legends

37:21

all the time . So

37:23

if you're constantly comparing someone

37:25

To a legend all

37:28

the time . You know their legacy

37:30

is just never gonna die and they're gonna . They're

37:32

just superheroes . You know

37:34

Michael Jackson . You know , with with all

37:36

the BS that they all , you know they always

37:38

comes up with his name . He's

37:40

, he was still a freaking superhero

37:43

. Yo , bob Marley . Superhero

37:45

Whitney Houston , where her voice

37:48

like Superhero voice

37:50

man you know I can't

37:52

speak to her character , but her voice there

37:55

will be . There will never be another Whitney Houston

37:57

. Aretha Franklin

37:59

, you know Ray Charles

38:01

. Like these people are superheroes

38:03

38:05

, like they were leaping buildings

38:07

in a single bound . You know

38:09

they were out running people

every day . So I

38:14

Agree with my

38:16

cousin when he says we need new

38:19

stories . You know we need other

38:23

Other relatable

38:25

topics . You know that we can talk about and

38:28

I and I agree , I agree with that

38:30

. But we cannot

38:32

, we cannot Forget

38:34

that are some of these stories that are being

38:36

told our stories . They'll

38:38

never be done again this

38:40

way . I don't care how popular

38:43

you think you are and you're never going to

38:45

be on any of these people's levels and their

38:47

superheroes . And it's just good to shine

things about some of the Words

39:53

says in a lot of his songs I

40:02
