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
, you know real ones
38:05
, like they were leaping buildings
38:07
in a single bound . You know
38:09
they were out running people
38:12
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
38:49
a light on a man . So yeah , I loved
38:52
the Bob Marley one love movie
38:54

38:56

39:03

39:05

39:07
down . So if you got a chance to see it
39:09

39:11
a Chance to go , do it . Okay
39:13
, go get yourself a big box of popcorn
39:16
, get you some cherry coke . That's the only
39:18
time I drink dark soda is when I'm at the movies
39:20
and I don't go to movies that much . But yeah
39:22
, get your nice something of soda , or if you're
39:25

ride of the Bob Marley
39:34
one love movie and hopefully , when
39:36
you leave that movie , you come out feeling the
39:40
love and the , the , the
39:42
peace that Bob Marley wanted to
39:44
Unleash
39:46
on the world . Because I definitely
39:49
did . You know , and I learned some
39:51
things about some of the Words
39:53
that I would hear him say . I'll
39:55
say one of them is I and I
39:57
, when that's a term that he always
40:00
says in a lot of his songs I
40:02
and I . I never understood
40:04
what the freak that meant . And
40:06
then in this movie , I found out what
40:08
it meant and Wow
