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

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.

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!

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.

(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 are, especially in the hands of filmmakers with questionable ethics, then this one is for you!

This was a fun one, it was delayed while I (Ryan) dealt with a family issue. We'll resume regularly scheduled programming now.

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 course do a deep dive into Nu Metal. It's long. You're welcome. Or...sorry.

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.

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 MILLISECONDS but it should be OK.

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 about 50 times. We have a LOT to say. So we edited very little. Its chaotic, its long and its great. Enjoy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
