House Party ft. Cipha Sounds

Black Men Can"t Jump [In Hollywood] ·

2015/10/16

Jonathan Braylock is busy booking roles left and right. This week James and Jerah to break down House Party. But don't fret, they've brought the incomparable Cipha Sounds to take on the 1990 New Line Cinema comedy House Party with hip hop duo Kid n Play. In an alternative history Kid and Play chose to be in Fresh Prince of Bel Air instead of Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff. This fun time party flick is filled with messages. It also gives the crew to take on one of the recurring questions this

Wild Wild West

Black Men Can"t Jump [In Hollywood] ·

2015/10/09

What's wilder than "Wild Wild West?" The fact that James III quite literally had to phone it in for this episode. Aside from that, the boys break down the implications of a black cowboy. Also, there's just a lot of feelings about Will Smith, like, a lot. Including the fact that Will Smith got robbed of some potential Swirl moments in this film.

Coming to America ft. Natasha Rothwell

Black Men Can"t Jump [In Hollywood] ·

2015/10/02

Natasha Rothwell (Saturday Night Live, Wild'N Out) drops by to review Eddie Murphy's Coming to America. This is Eddie at the height of his Hollywood powers and damn if there isn't a lot to break down. Yes this podcast is just a few minutes shy of the length of the movie, but there's no end to the directions an Eddie Murphy conversation can go. The man is talented and complicated. Natasha has no love for the Swirl but that doesn't stop Jerah. Don't worry everybody: Hancock

Blade

2015/09/25

1998 was a simpler time for Wesley Snipes, tax wise, because he wasn't paying them. Also the film world was not yet over run with vampires, pale or otherwise. Enter Blade, the sword slinging, leather jacket rocking, tatt'd up head and hair cut from the future having bad bad dude. The boys break down how nice it was to have something they could dress up as for Halloween and how dope this movie was or wasn't for The Cause. Next week we have guest Natasha Rothwell and we'll be reviewing

Blazing Saddles

Black Men Can"t Jump [In Hollywood] ·

2015/09/18

The 1974 Mel Brooks satirical Western "Blazing Saddles" has Jerah furious. Not even the best kind of swirl can temper the blaze that roars inside of him. And try as they do, neither Braylock nor James III can bring him around. But just when you're counting it out, The Cause delivers a stunning review. This also might be the best Hancock drop that James III ever does. Soak it up James! Next week we review Blade. FOLLOW BLACK MEN CAN'T JUMP [IN HOLLYWOOD]:

Training Day

Black Men Can"t Jump [In Hollywood] ·

2015/09/11

Denzel Washington won an Oscar for best actor in a movie that he wasn't even the lead in, or was he? He was. Maybe. It's not easy for a black man to win an Oscar. Jerah got himself a Carmel Swirl, which is something like progress. But hey, did Denzel black it up in this movie or is he just Denzel being Denzel? It's a subtle distinction and we're here to make that distinction. The Cause is about as real as it gets this week. Under heavy pressure from Jerah, James sticks to his rating

In The Heat of the Night ft. Keegan-Michael Key

Black Men Can"t Jump [In Hollywood] ·

2015/09/04

Well, this happened. Keegan-Michael Key showed up like a burst through the comedic heavens and landed in our podcast basement to record the most intense, hilarious, and in depth discussion of the classic Sidney Poitier flick 'In The Heat of The Night.' Key had the knowledge and energy of ten men, which made it impossible to edit a minute of this. I don't think you'll mind. Maybe Black Men Can't Jump in Hollywood, but they did land one of the most dynamic comedic talents of a

Blue Streak

Black Men Can"t Jump [In Hollywood] ·

2015/08/21

Braylock, James III, and Jerah can't believe that they are reviewing this mediocre movie. That doesn't stop them from breaking down the highs and lows of Martin Lawrence's career, dance moves, characters and spectacular meltdown. "The Swirl" gets straight up raunchy, but Jerah somehow works #yesallwomen into it.

Barbershop

Black Men Can"t Jump [In Hollywood] ·

2015/08/14

Hey man, they made Ice Cube the lead of a movie and that movie made about 70 million dollars. There's a lot to break down when you look at the 2002 comedy Barbershop directed by Tim Story. It has an 82% rating on Rotten tomatoes. 82%!?! In addition to an insightful assault on the structure of this movie and the actors chosen to play in it, find out what the Black Men Can't Jump crew thinks about their own haircuts in relationship to Fredrick Douglass.
