00:00:09,801 --> 00:00:12,762
I've heard one of the hardest things
to do in life
2
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:15,473
is play an instrument
and sing at the same time.

00:00:20,895 --> 00:00:24,524
[Drea] Another really hard thing to do
is separate the art from the artist.

["DNA" by Kendrick Lamar playing]

00:00:27,235 --> 00:00:29,362
It's especially hard when you're black.
9
00:00:31,364 --> 00:00:33,074
We don't have as many icons,
10
00:00:33,158 --> 00:00:36,244
so it hurts a little more
when one of ours goes down,
11
00:00:36,786 --> 00:00:39,247
but that's the thing about being black.
12
00:00:39,330 --> 00:00:41,499
You get used to things
being taken from you,
13
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:43,460
which is ironic,
14
00:00:43,543 --> 00:00:45,754
seeing as we invented
the home security system.
15
00:00:46,755 --> 00:00:47,797

Well, thank you for taking the time

00:01:08,985 --> 00:01:11,362
from your video shoot
to do this interview, Dad.
24
00:01:11,488 --> 00:01:14,240
Come on, you're a TV writer.
You look ridiculous.

00:01:14,324 --> 00:01:16,409
- You look like a blind drug dealer.
- Okay.

Just...

Please ask me your question.

Such a hater, dude.

- Fucking hater.
- Okay. So, Dad...
30
00:01:24,918 --> 00:01:26,628
- Yes.
- ...I wanted to talk to you
31
00:01:26,711 --> 00:01:30,048
about how black people in this country
always seem to be on guard.
32
00:01:30,131 --> 00:01:31,341
It's because of slavery.
33
00:01:31,466 --> 00:01:32,985
- [Drea] Yes. I know that part.
- Okay.
34
00:01:33,009 --> 00:01:34,945
I'm trying to get to the bottom
of something else here.
35
00:01:34,969 --> 00:01:37,156
No, I know. Whatever question you ask me,
the answer's gonna be
36
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:38,223
"because of slavery."
37
00:01:38,306 --> 00:01:39,933
So, yes, I can do this all day.

00:01:40,016 --> 00:01:41,016

00:01:41,476 --> 00:01:44,229

It's the thing that guides me in life.
41
00:01:47,816 --> 00:01:51,069
So, is the reason why you're wearing
a Mr. T level amount of jewelry
42
00:01:51,152 --> 00:01:52,153
because of slavery too?
43
00:01:52,237 --> 00:01:53,571
Such a hater. Yeah, hater.
44
00:01:53,655 --> 00:01:57,534
It's a Pusha T level of jewelry,
but yeah, it is.
45
00:01:57,617 --> 00:01:59,661
You know, our chains that we used to wear,
46
00:01:59,744 --> 00:02:02,288

- I'm gonna buy it anyway.
- Are you shopping?

Oh, my God.
67
00:02:49,252 --> 00:02:52,547
And just like that,
I'd lost him, to a Mr Porter sale.

And who would shop low to high?
It's high to low.

70
00:02:57,010 --> 00:03:00,430
that they didn't have his size
in a Sacai velour-lined track pant
71
00:03:00,722 --> 00:03:01,639

what the shoe conversion chart
was for the UK,
73
00:03:04,976 --> 00:03:07,270

109
00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:25,848
asked my dad to introduce it
in front of an audience
110
00:04:25,932 --> 00:04:28,142
of peers, critics and fans
111
00:04:28,226 --> 00:04:30,561
and then, like, lead a Q&A afterwards.
112
00:04:30,812 --> 00:04:33,982

Oh. And if you've noticed,
119
00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:49,205
I'm bleeping out the names
of any actual artists or artists' work
120
00:04:49,539 --> 00:04:52,166
due to the fact
that my dad is in this industry,
121
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:55,211
and it's how he takes care
of my mother and five siblings.
122
00:04:56,045 --> 00:04:58,881
Also, I hope to one day be
in the business myself,
123
00:04:59,048 --> 00:05:01,384
and I'd rather not have to change
my entire name.
124

- We... No, my guy, we have to go right now.
125
00:05:03,928 --> 00:05:05,847
It's called Lawyer, Wife, Mother of Six.
126
00:05:05,930 --> 00:05:07,390
It got into Stedman's hands,
127
00:05:07,473 --> 00:05:09,809
so it's like one step away.
But I'll let you know.
128
00:05:09,892 --> 00:05:11,602
- I'll hit you up on DM.
- Okay. She will.

- Did you see the movie?
- Yeah, I saw it.

I don't watch movies
like you guys watch movies.
147
00:05:47,138 --> 00:05:49,807
- You mean lucidly?
- With the tiniest amount of discernment.
148
00:05:49,891 --> 00:05:53,102
No, with a giant stick up my ass.
149
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:56,064

That's it.
150

You look cute
and I'm so turned off by you right now.
151
00:05:58,816 --> 00:06:00,068
You know what I liked about it,
152
00:06:00,151 --> 00:06:03,363
is you just don't see black characters
in movies like that.
153
00:06:03,613 --> 00:06:04,530
Oh, my God!
154
00:06:04,614 --> 00:06:06,199
Dad, I just want you to know
155
00:06:06,282 --> 00:06:08,162
that when you guys split up,
I'm going with you.
156
00:06:08,242 --> 00:06:09,482
This is why you're my favorite.
157
00:06:09,535 --> 00:06:12,372
Okay, what was so bad about that movie?
158
00:06:13,164 --> 00:06:15,583
You know what, Par Par?
You wanna take this one?
159
00:06:15,666 --> 00:06:16,709
You know I do.
160
00:06:17,335 --> 00:06:20,505
Uh, first of all,
there was five characters named Bobby.
161
00:06:21,464 --> 00:06:23,966
For the entire 25-minute Roscoe wait,
162
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:26,636
I broke down everything
that was wrong with the movie.
163
00:06:26,761 --> 00:06:27,845
Exactly.
164
00:06:27,929 --> 00:06:30,473
[Drea] From the story being contrived,
to story holes,
165
00:06:30,556 --> 00:06:33,226
to plot points missed, to lazy direction.
166
00:06:33,309 --> 00:06:35,895
I think, at one point,
I said anyone involved in the film
167
00:06:35,978 --> 00:06:38,398
should be set on fire,
man, woman, or child.
168
00:06:38,815 --> 00:06:39,815
[grunts frustratedly]
169
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:42,777
- [Pops] Dad.
- [Kenya] What's up?
170
00:06:42,860 --> 00:06:44,487
- Can I ask you a question?
- Yeah.
171
00:06:47,573 --> 00:06:49,450
There's this girl at school, and...
172
00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:52,638
- [Kenya] Hold on.
- Never mind.
173
00:06:52,662 --> 00:06:53,662
No.
174
00:06:55,289 --> 00:06:56,289
Go.
175
00:06:56,707 --> 00:06:57,707
I want to hear it.
176
00:06:58,084 --> 00:07:00,837
Okay, so, there's this girl at school
and I really like her.
177
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,924
Yo, Dad, you have to this.
[bleep] got a 99 on Rotten Tomatoes.
178
00:07:05,007 --> 00:07:06,592
Hold on. What? Oh, my God. Move, dude.
179
00:07:07,009 --> 00:07:09,262
Move! What's this? Look!
180
00:07:09,762 --> 00:07:12,181
- What is happening?
- I... I don't know.
181
00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:13,766
A 99 for [bleep]?
182
00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:15,370
- Yeah. Okay, the consensus...
- Dad...
183
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:17,079
- Dude. Fall back.
- Can you give me a second, bud?
184
00:07:17,103 --> 00:07:18,312
Please. Just one second.
185
00:07:18,396 --> 00:07:21,566
Okay. The consensus is that
it's a game-changing tour de force
186
00:07:21,649 --> 00:07:24,152
of radical poignancy
that America needs right now.
187
00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:26,028
What? [scoffs]
188
00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:28,364
They're basically saying
it's a perfect movie.
189
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:30,741
They're not basically saying it, Dad.
They're saying it.
190
00:07:31,325 --> 00:07:33,327
What... What did The Godfather get?
191
00:07:34,162 --> 00:07:35,246
A 98.
192
00:07:36,164 --> 00:07:37,582
What did Godfather II get?
193
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,084
A 97.
194
00:07:40,626 --> 00:07:41,794
Yeah, that makes sense.
195
00:07:42,170 --> 00:07:43,838
Hold on, what did Heat get?
196
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:46,591
[inhales sharply] Heat got an 86.
197
00:07:48,926 --> 00:07:52,305
Heat got less than [bleep]?
198

- Heat?
- Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
199
00:07:53,931 --> 00:07:58,561

ten minutes in the history of cinema?
200
00:08:03,524 --> 00:08:04,524
Go!
201
00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:06,027

[Drea stammering]
I don't know. I have no idea. [sighs]
203

- Dryan.
- [Pops] Dad.
204
00:08:12,366 --> 00:08:15,036
Bud, you got to give me a second.
Okay, bud?
205
00:08:15,119 --> 00:08:16,579
Seriously, I was winning anyway.
206
00:08:17,371 --> 00:08:19,665
Yo, have you seen [bleep]?
207
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:21,334
Is your assistant on the line?
208
00:08:23,252 --> 00:08:25,630
Yo, man, between me and you,
209
00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:28,508
I have seen it and it is not it.
210
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:30,510
Am I a hater?
211
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:31,760
[Pops] Okay.
212
00:08:32,261 --> 00:08:33,261
Peace.
213
00:08:34,138 --> 00:08:36,307
[Drea] So, while Dad tried to find answers
214
00:08:36,557 --> 00:08:38,518
Mom was stumbling into some questions.
215
00:08:38,601 --> 00:08:41,229
[Joya] Oh, Stink! You look so cute!
216
00:08:41,312 --> 00:08:43,189
What's this?
"Five things I love about myself:
217
00:08:43,272 --> 00:08:44,982
hooper, sister,
218
00:08:45,149 --> 00:08:47,693
straight-A student,
sneaker enthusiast, boss."
219
00:08:48,277 --> 00:08:50,571
Well, you know where you get that from.
[laughs]
220
00:08:50,655 --> 00:08:51,655
Stink.
221
00:08:52,031 --> 00:08:54,158
Did you put "boss"
because you take after your mama?
222
00:08:54,742 --> 00:08:55,910
What are you the boss of?
223
00:08:56,577 --> 00:08:57,577
Right.
224
00:08:58,621 --> 00:08:59,621
Stink...
225
00:09:00,373 --> 00:09:02,083
I hate to be this person, but...
226
00:09:02,166 --> 00:09:05,545
did... did you, I don't know,
maybe leave out a word
227
00:09:05,878 --> 00:09:07,630
that you would use to describe yourself?
228
00:09:08,506 --> 00:09:09,549
I don't know, what?
229
00:09:09,632 --> 00:09:10,967
You're black, sweetie.
230
00:09:11,551 --> 00:09:14,053
- Well, I mean, I guess.
- You guess?
231
00:09:21,352 --> 00:09:23,020
[Joya] What... what are you guys doing?
232
00:09:23,729 --> 00:09:24,729
We're dancing.
233
00:09:25,022 --> 00:09:27,817
- No, you are not.
- I'm doing the Orange Justice.
234
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:29,569
I'm flossing, y'all!
235
00:09:29,652 --> 00:09:30,652
Me too!
236
00:09:35,992 --> 00:09:37,118
Fuck.
237
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,745
I crippled my kids.
238
00:09:40,079 --> 00:09:42,957
Not only do they not identify as black,
239
00:09:43,499 --> 00:09:45,626
even worse, they can't dance.
240
00:09:46,961 --> 00:09:50,172
Not being able to dance
is worse than not identifying as black?
241
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:52,842
Cut the shit, Drea. Okay?
I'm not in the mood.
242
00:09:53,634 --> 00:09:55,928
I know you forget this from time to time,
243
00:09:56,012 --> 00:09:58,556
but your mother is not 100% black.
244
00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:01,183
Mom, you're the blackest person I know.
245
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:03,227
You're black
when you don't even need to be black.
246
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:06,397
I've got a tall caramel frappe
for a Black Joya?
247
00:10:06,522 --> 00:10:07,440
Oh, that's me.
248
00:10:07,523 --> 00:10:10,067
[chuckling] That's mine. I'm Black Joya.
249
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,280
What?
250
00:10:16,741 --> 00:10:18,284
You don't understand, okay?
251
00:10:18,367 --> 00:10:19,452
When you are mixed,
252
00:10:19,535 --> 00:10:22,330
you are constantly tested
on your blackness.
253
00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:25,082
How many pairs of bamboo earrings
do you have?
254
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:27,168
What's your favorite episode of Martin?
255
00:10:27,251 --> 00:10:30,004
Name the Fab Five. Name the Jackson 5.
256
00:10:30,087 --> 00:10:32,131
Name the Central Park 5.
257
00:10:32,214 --> 00:10:35,009
Name all the members of the Wayans family.
258
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:36,636
Do you know? No.
259
00:10:36,719 --> 00:10:38,888
It doesn't matter
'cause you're not mixed.
260
00:10:38,971 --> 00:10:40,514
Chick-fil-A or Popeye's?
261
00:10:40,598 --> 00:10:41,891
A.1. or Lawry's?
262
00:10:41,974 --> 00:10:44,560
Can You Stand the Rain
or Can You Stop the Rain?
263
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:46,854
These are important questions.
264
00:10:47,313 --> 00:10:48,147
Whoa!
265
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:50,316
Yeah, exactly, whoa.
266
00:10:50,483 --> 00:10:53,986
And if you know how to dance,
it gets people off your back immediately.
267
00:10:54,070 --> 00:10:55,488
That's currency.
268
00:10:55,571 --> 00:10:57,281
Can your mom dance?
269
00:10:57,573 --> 00:10:58,407
Sure.

mouthing the beat count?

274
00:11:11,003 --> 00:11:13,172
He's talking shit about my dancing?
275

[hip-hop playing]
276
00:11:15,633 --> 00:11:17,677
Why does this bother you so much?
277
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,596
Because he doesn't dance,
he does the two-step.
278
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:22,280
He just goes from one side to another...
279
00:11:22,348 --> 00:11:25,309
Not the two-step, Mom.
The fact that your kids can't dance.
280
00:11:25,393 --> 00:11:27,770
Because I am their mother.
281
00:11:27,853 --> 00:11:31,273
Okay? And it is my job
to send them out into the world
282
00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:33,984
with a toolbox filled
with things that they will need
283
00:11:34,068 --> 00:11:35,748
and they could pull out
whenever they want,
284
00:11:35,778 --> 00:11:38,322
and this is currency. They need currency.
285
00:11:38,406 --> 00:11:39,615
Do you know what I'm saying?
286
00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:42,034
I... I think you just said
what you're saying.
287
00:11:42,118 --> 00:11:45,204
So you get that they need things
in their toolbox right now.
288
00:11:45,287 --> 00:11:46,288
They need currency...
289
00:11:46,372 --> 00:11:47,933
- I got it, Mom. I got it.
- ...to pull out.
290
00:11:47,957 --> 00:11:50,143
I want them to have that in there
so they can pull it out when they need it.

- We have to have a barbecue.
- Okay.
301
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:17,903
Okay? A black barbecue.
302
00:12:17,987 --> 00:12:20,030
- What?
- With just your family.
303
00:12:20,865 --> 00:12:22,616
O... Okay, why just my family?
304
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:24,952
Because my family is the problem!

Don't do that.

- I'm just saying.
- This is important.
308
00:12:29,707 --> 00:12:31,959
Okay, we're having a black barbecue
with my family
309
00:12:32,042 --> 00:12:33,586
because your family's the problem.

Hey! Hey, stop this right now.

Put the guns...
312
00:12:37,548 --> 00:12:39,776
At least if you're gonna shoot a gun,
shoot it like that.
313
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:40,885
Like that. Mm.
314

Let's go.

- Why?
- That thing's not released yet.

It might as well be a bag
of Colombian dope.
318

What my dad is doing right now
319
00:12:54,148 --> 00:12:56,400
is both despicable and brilliant,
320
00:12:56,942 --> 00:12:59,862
which probably describes
the man I love to a T.
321
00:13:00,654 --> 00:13:03,699
He's hiding everything he cares about
before his family shows up.

can you put the ride

- What about the Rover?
- You think we should move the Range?
325

I mean, it is the Autobiography.

- Because it's valuable.

[piano plinks]
346
00:14:06,387 --> 00:14:07,405
[Drea] We're not sure yet.
347
00:14:07,429 --> 00:14:09,932
What's up, cuz?
Hey, let me holla at you real quick.
348
00:14:10,099 --> 00:14:12,643
No, I'm not gonna sell you any of my pee.
349
00:14:13,143 --> 00:14:15,646
So, what, you just about to flush it
down the toilet for free?
350
00:14:16,772 --> 00:14:18,023
That ain't good business.
351
00:14:18,107 --> 00:14:20,377
I know your pop's got money,
but you gotta think smart, cuz.
352
00:14:20,401 --> 00:14:21,944
I'm trying to put you on the game.
353
00:14:22,987 --> 00:14:23,988
Hey, look, I'm...
354
00:14:24,071 --> 00:14:26,323
[Drea] There's Uncle Ray, who,
for some reason,
355
00:14:26,407 --> 00:14:27,783
is impressed by everything.
356
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:28,867
I wanna ask y'all,
357
00:14:28,909 --> 00:14:31,287
how many of these water bottles
do y'all have?
358
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:33,539
Just, like, enough for everybody.
359
00:14:34,373 --> 00:14:36,917
Like, everybody
get their own water bottle?
360
00:14:37,209 --> 00:14:39,712
- Yeah.
- That's crazy.
361
00:14:40,838 --> 00:14:43,549
♪ School is out
And there's sort of a buzz ♪
362
00:14:43,632 --> 00:14:45,509
[Drea] There's Uncle Ray's daughter,
Simone.
363
00:14:45,593 --> 00:14:46,635
What you looking at?
364
00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:49,680
[Drea chuckling] Uh, I was just saying hi.
365
00:14:49,972 --> 00:14:54,018
I've never seen someone have
such an adverse reaction to eye contact.
366
00:14:54,101 --> 00:14:55,769
I swear to God, keep looking at me.
367
00:14:56,145 --> 00:14:57,771
- Trying it today.
- [Drea] Okay.
368
00:14:58,063 --> 00:15:00,149
It's nice... nice talking to you too.
369
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,902
And then there's Aunt Nadine.
370
00:15:03,193 --> 00:15:04,111
Sweet as pie.
371
00:15:04,194 --> 00:15:05,529
Oh, hey, baby girl. Um...
372
00:15:06,572 --> 00:15:07,865
Top this off for me, all right?
373
00:15:07,948 --> 00:15:09,241
[Drea] But also drunk as fuck.
374
00:15:09,325 --> 00:15:10,159
What are you drinking?
375
00:15:10,242 --> 00:15:12,202
Well, I usually only do brown liquor.
376
00:15:12,536 --> 00:15:13,787
- Okay.
- Or vodka.
377
00:15:14,538 --> 00:15:15,538
Or tequila.
378
00:15:15,873 --> 00:15:17,291
- Okay.
- Or gin.
379
00:15:17,374 --> 00:15:19,585
Gin, I mean, just, yeah.
380
00:15:19,668 --> 00:15:21,988
Don't put too much ice in it.
I don't like it watered down.
381
00:15:22,046 --> 00:15:23,464
[Drea] And then there's my grandpa.
382
00:15:23,547 --> 00:15:25,090
Stone cold player. Smooth.
383
00:15:25,174 --> 00:15:27,176
- How you doing, darling?
- Hi, Grandpa.
384
00:15:27,301 --> 00:15:29,303
Looks like he probably sung "Stand by Me."
385
00:15:29,386 --> 00:15:31,639
That's my granddaughter.
She's beautiful and smart.
386
00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:33,432
- What's up, love?
- Hey, girl.
387
00:15:33,682 --> 00:15:36,060
I followed you on Instagram.
I can't get a "follow" back?
388
00:15:36,143 --> 00:15:37,983
[Drea]
That's my grandpa's girlfriend, Tashina.
389
00:15:38,062 --> 00:15:39,063
I got you. [chuckles]
390
00:15:39,146 --> 00:15:41,941
[Drea] Could be 28, could be 45.
391
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:44,693
Either way, it's gross.
392
00:15:46,987 --> 00:15:48,364
Hey, Grams!
393
00:15:48,447 --> 00:15:50,741
Grams is my favorite
because she always says
394
00:15:50,824 --> 00:15:52,368
exactly what's on her mind.
395
00:15:52,451 --> 00:15:54,036
The yard's a mess.
396
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,413
See, that's what your Daddy gets
397
00:15:56,497 --> 00:15:59,500
for letting all the De La Hoyas
do the work,
398
00:15:59,583 --> 00:16:00,709
you know what I'm saying?
399
00:16:00,793 --> 00:16:02,795
[Drea] Which is sometimes too much.
400
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,255
Could have used Peewee
right in the neighborhood.
401
00:16:05,339 --> 00:16:07,174
Peewee's Yard Sowing and Hoeing.
402
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:10,886
You know I'm talking about...
Not that kind of hoeing!
403
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:12,388
- Oh, I'm tripping.
- Come on now.
404
00:16:12,471 --> 00:16:14,181
I see you got your titties.
405
00:16:14,264 --> 00:16:16,934
[Drea] To be fair,
my whole family is a lot.
406
00:16:17,017 --> 00:16:18,769
- Fast. Fast.
- [Nadine] They're not fast.
407
00:16:18,852 --> 00:16:21,188
- They are fast.
- That's their momma's side.
408
00:16:21,271 --> 00:16:22,189
- I know.
- [laughing]
409
00:16:22,272 --> 00:16:24,191
But I wouldn't trade any of them.
410
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,486
And as much as he won't admit it,
my dad wouldn't either.
411
00:16:33,367 --> 00:16:35,494
- Hey, what's up, cuz?
- Yo, what's up, Harold?
412
00:16:35,577 --> 00:16:37,454
Shit, hey, let me ask you.
413
00:16:37,538 --> 00:16:40,124
- You change your number?
- Naw, no.
414
00:16:40,207 --> 00:16:41,208
You sure?
415
00:16:41,792 --> 00:16:43,335
No, I don't think so.
416
00:16:43,794 --> 00:16:46,255
I might be tripping.
Let me see your phone real quick?
417
00:16:46,338 --> 00:16:48,215
Let me just call my phone and make sure...
418
00:16:48,298 --> 00:16:50,009
I changed it. I changed it.
419
00:16:50,092 --> 00:16:51,969
- Can't be doing that, cuz.
- I...
420
00:16:52,052 --> 00:16:53,929
At least, notify a nigga,
know what I mean?
421
00:16:54,013 --> 00:16:55,764
All right. That's my bad, dog.
422
00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:57,016
It's all good. Look, though.
423
00:16:57,391 --> 00:16:59,685
- I wanna holler at you about something.
- Oh. Okay.
424
00:16:59,768 --> 00:17:02,479
Look, my life, that shit like a movie.
425
00:17:04,356 --> 00:17:07,568
No, man, I ain't even just talking.
That shit a movie, my nigga.
426
00:17:07,985 --> 00:17:11,697
Who better else than to tell my story
than family, know what I mean?
427
00:17:11,780 --> 00:17:13,449
- You ain't gonna fuck it up.
- No.
428
00:17:13,532 --> 00:17:15,325
So let me put you onto what it's about.
429
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:17,119
It's a nigga, right?
430
00:17:17,202 --> 00:17:18,579
Like, a real nigga.
431
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:22,416
Sometimes they have like Taye Diggs
as a nigga. He ain't no nigga.
432
00:17:22,499 --> 00:17:24,352
- Right.
- A nigga like me, you know what I mean?
433
00:17:24,376 --> 00:17:26,503
- Exactly like you.
- Hot like me, right?
434
00:17:26,587 --> 00:17:28,523
- I could be in it.
- You should play this, right.
435
00:17:28,547 --> 00:17:30,758
- Nigga, exactly. I ain't even gotta act.
- Right.
436
00:17:30,841 --> 00:17:32,318
- Nigga, it ain't even acting.
- Right.
437
00:17:32,342 --> 00:17:34,636
I just exist in that shit.
Know what I mean?
438
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,138
Nigga Netflix movie.
439
00:17:36,221 --> 00:17:38,724
Me on the cover like this. Gangster shit.
440
00:17:39,016 --> 00:17:40,893
Know what I mean?
They got a whole audience.
441
00:17:40,976 --> 00:17:43,479
Niggas in the hood.
Niggas in penitentiary.
442
00:17:43,562 --> 00:17:44,938
They got Netflix in penitentiary?
443
00:17:45,814 --> 00:17:46,899
- Probably.
- They should.
444
00:17:46,982 --> 00:17:48,501
- They should.
- That's perfect, though.
445
00:17:48,525 --> 00:17:52,071
Matter of fact, I could be a producer too,
'cause I know how that shit in my life is.
446
00:17:52,154 --> 00:17:54,114
Who gonna tell the story
better than me and you?
447
00:17:54,198 --> 00:17:55,574
- Nobody.
- Could eat off it too.
448
00:17:55,657 --> 00:17:58,160
We could do that shit together.
Yeah, we could build off that.
449
00:17:58,243 --> 00:18:01,205
I know you got the plug, the connect.
So you got a gangsta with a wig on,
450
00:18:01,288 --> 00:18:04,124
that eliminates the whole stigma
of toxic masculinity
451
00:18:04,208 --> 00:18:05,709
in the African-American community.
452
00:18:05,793 --> 00:18:08,670
- They eat that shit up in Hollywood.
- Hold on, hold on, dawg.
453
00:18:08,796 --> 00:18:10,506
So, you want to do a comedy
454
00:18:10,798 --> 00:18:12,257
- about a Crip dude...
- Right.
455
00:18:12,341 --> 00:18:13,842
- ...from the '60s...
- Okay.
456
00:18:13,926 --> 00:18:17,971
...that pretends to be a female Blood
from Inglewood Family?
457
00:18:18,055 --> 00:18:20,349
- No, from Compton Piru.
- Right.
458
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:24,937
Yup. And the only reason he get in,
pull up on the enemy and you hear,
459
00:18:25,020 --> 00:18:27,815
"Pow! Pow! Pow!" Let loose in that bitch.
460
00:18:27,898 --> 00:18:30,234
So it's a plan to,
like, infiltrate from within.
461
00:18:30,317 --> 00:18:32,152
- Precisely, cuz.
- Got it.
462
00:18:32,236 --> 00:18:35,656
It's like Deep Cover meets Juwanna Mann.
463
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:37,241
Right. Of course.
464
00:18:37,324 --> 00:18:39,576
Hold on, did you like Juwanna Mann?
465
00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:40,536
Hell, yeah.
466
00:18:40,619 --> 00:18:43,205
This nigga wanted so passionately
to be in the NBA
467
00:18:43,288 --> 00:18:44,414
that he put on a wig and...
468
00:18:44,498 --> 00:18:46,959
I understand the conceit of Juwanna Mann.
469
00:18:47,042 --> 00:18:47,876
I get it.
470
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,420
- So you know why that shit hard.
- No.
471
00:18:50,879 --> 00:18:54,466
Nigga, it's your classic comedy
about a man putting on a wig.
472
00:18:56,176 --> 00:18:57,176
Tootsie.
473
00:18:57,219 --> 00:18:58,303

Rest in peace, Robin Williams.
475
00:19:01,682 --> 00:19:04,476
Dawg, those are fucking classics.
Like, bangers.
476
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:05,936
Why? 'Cause they white?
477
00:19:06,937 --> 00:19:09,606
Them shits ain't nothing
but white Juwanna Manns.
478
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:13,151
Damn.
479
00:19:13,277 --> 00:19:15,737
Hmm. I fucked you up with that one, huh?
480
00:19:16,530 --> 00:19:17,573
A little bit.
481
00:19:17,698 --> 00:19:20,325
Yep, that's what I do, cuz.
I told you my shit hard.
482
00:19:20,409 --> 00:19:22,619
So how should I proceed?
How should I move forward?
483
00:19:22,703 --> 00:19:23,537
What? Proceed?
484
00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:25,664
So we can move forward
with the whole process.
485
00:19:25,747 --> 00:19:28,187
A nigga like you, you probably got
a white boy on the payroll.
486
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:29,960
Who the white nigga I gotta email?
487
00:19:30,252 --> 00:19:31,920
- Email Danny.
- Danny.
488
00:19:32,004 --> 00:19:33,130
You got a laptop?
489
00:19:33,964 --> 00:19:35,257
I can go to the library.
490
00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:36,550
Nigga, I'm hungry!
491
00:19:37,134 --> 00:19:38,218
I'm willing to do anything.
492
00:19:38,302 --> 00:19:40,902
Nigga, I'll put this shit on a pigeon
and fly that bitch to Danny.
493
00:19:40,929 --> 00:19:42,514
I'm ready to work, cuz.
494
00:19:42,598 --> 00:19:43,638
- You hear me?
- All right.
495
00:19:44,141 --> 00:19:46,143
- I'll handwrite the nigga.
- Email me.
496
00:19:46,226 --> 00:19:48,061
I'mma email... I'mma email Danny!
497
00:19:48,145 --> 00:19:51,356
- White Juwanna Mann.
- White Juwanna Mann. Gangster shit.
498

Nigga, I'mma pull up in the Oscars
with a motherfuckin' track suit on, nigga.

I wanna thank the homies, the whole set.

00:20:28,685 --> 00:20:30,145
This is important, okay?
513
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:32,564
Look how hard he's riding that beat.
514
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:36,235
Go in there. Go in there. Go dance!
515
00:20:36,318 --> 00:20:37,318
[Izzy] Nope.
516
00:20:37,611 --> 00:20:41,198
♪ I live on the edge on the deep end
l Iive on the edge on the deep end ♪

519
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:48,538
I'd call them back if I were you.
520
00:20:48,622 --> 00:20:51,291
Guys! Come back. Come back. Kam!
521
00:20:51,875 --> 00:20:52,875
Come back.
522
00:20:53,502 --> 00:20:54,670
No, we're good.
523
00:20:55,295 --> 00:20:57,256
[Ray laughing] Hey, man, nephew.
524
00:20:57,339 --> 00:20:59,132
You know,
I don't mean to be disrespectful,
525
00:20:59,216 --> 00:21:00,926
by eating all your food, man.
526
00:21:01,009 --> 00:21:03,178
And, you know, looking at your wife.
527
00:21:03,262 --> 00:21:04,930
- What?
- [Ray chuckles] Yeah, man.
528
00:21:05,055 --> 00:21:07,242
[Kenya] What are you talking about?
Why you looking at my wife?
529
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:10,310
I mean, but no disrespect,
but you are acting a little white lately.
530
00:21:10,686 --> 00:21:11,520
[Kenya] What?
531
00:21:11,603 --> 00:21:13,331
- Yeah. I gotta say that.
- [coughing, laughing]
532
00:21:13,355 --> 00:21:15,208
- Don't do that, Dad. That's not cool.
- [Ray] Real mayonnaise.
533
00:21:15,232 --> 00:21:17,943
Acting like one of them white newscasters
that be on Channel 6.
534
00:21:18,026 --> 00:21:19,128
- [laughter]
- I'm acting white
535
00:21:19,152 --> 00:21:21,029
because I feel like a good movie
536
00:21:21,113 --> 00:21:23,323
shouldn't get the same review
as a bad movie?
537
00:21:23,824 --> 00:21:26,159
You know what I'm saying,
like, I literally saw [bleep]
538
00:21:26,243 --> 00:21:29,079
get six points higher than Titanic,
539
00:21:29,246 --> 00:21:30,956
which is obviously the better movie.
540
00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:32,582
- Better to who?
- [Kenya] What?
541
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:33,875
Who's it better to?
542
00:21:33,959 --> 00:21:35,561
- What do you mean?
- Who gives a fuck about Titanic?
543
00:21:35,585 --> 00:21:37,754
Titanic wasn't nothing
but Romeo and Juliet
544
00:21:37,838 --> 00:21:40,173
- on a nasty-ass boat that sank.
- [Grandpa] Straight up.
545
00:21:40,257 --> 00:21:42,384
Unc, I was saying that same shit
about Juwanna Mann.
546
00:21:42,467 --> 00:21:44,386
- Oh, my God.
- Man, I love that Juwanna Mann.
547
00:21:44,469 --> 00:21:45,863
- You do?
- I saw it again last week.
548
00:21:45,887 --> 00:21:47,639
- That shit hard.
- I'm telling you.
549
00:21:48,056 --> 00:21:50,058
All Juwanna Mann is... is Tootsie.
550
00:21:50,142 --> 00:21:51,143
[Ray laughing]
551
00:21:51,226 --> 00:21:52,394
- [Harold] Exactly.
- Tootsie!
552
00:21:52,477 --> 00:21:55,188
That brother should have been
the next Brad Pitt. I'm telling you.
553
00:21:55,272 --> 00:21:56,648
What is happening right now?
554
00:21:56,732 --> 00:21:59,609
He played a woman and a man
at the same time. And was hooping!
555
00:21:59,693 --> 00:22:01,045
- That brother is talented.
- [Ray] That's right!
556
00:22:01,069 --> 00:22:03,864
Whatever entertains you,
if it entertains you and you like it,
557
00:22:03,947 --> 00:22:05,240
fuck it! You like it!
558
00:22:05,324 --> 00:22:07,617
Don't tell me what I should like
when I like what I like.
559
00:22:07,701 --> 00:22:10,037
- Come on!
- Fucking bum fights are entertaining.
560
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:12,164
You wanna sit up
and watch bum fights all day?
561
00:22:12,247 --> 00:22:14,166
I like to see two dusty motherfuckers...
562
00:22:14,249 --> 00:22:17,627
I'd rather watch a bum fight
than that goddamn, what, Citizen Kane!
563
00:22:17,711 --> 00:22:19,629
You'd rather watch bum fights
than Citizen Kane?
564
00:22:19,713 --> 00:22:21,273
- Yeah.
- What the fuck is Citizen Kane?
565
00:22:21,673 --> 00:22:23,693
- What is Citizen Kane?
- I ain't never heard of that shit.
566
00:22:23,717 --> 00:22:25,611
I shouldn't be having this conversation
with you guys.
567
00:22:25,635 --> 00:22:27,596
Citizen Kane is, is, is, is
568
00:22:27,679 --> 00:22:29,639
when some citizens is doing cocaine.
569
00:22:29,723 --> 00:22:32,476
- Come on!
- Yeah, change Rosebud to Snowflake, we in.
570
00:22:32,559 --> 00:22:33,894
[laughing]
571
00:22:33,977 --> 00:22:35,062
Hey!
572
00:22:35,145 --> 00:22:37,606
Now that's a movie I will watch.
Citizen Cocaine.
573
00:22:37,689 --> 00:22:39,876
- Why would you watch that?
- [Harold] More real than Citizen Kane.
574
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:43,111
While you're doing this,
you need to go do this.
575
00:22:43,195 --> 00:22:44,821
- What, I got some shit?
- [Kenya] Yes!
576
00:22:44,905 --> 00:22:45,965
There's kids. You should've...
577
00:22:45,989 --> 00:22:48,270
There's kids out here.
Y'all let me walk around like this?
578
00:22:48,742 --> 00:22:50,662
- That's Citizen 'Caine.
- [Harold] Yeah, well...
579
00:22:50,827 --> 00:22:52,329
[Nadine laughing] So, why...
580
00:22:52,454 --> 00:22:54,831
Why you ain't done nothing
with that Tyler Perry?
581
00:22:54,915 --> 00:22:56,792
- Yeah.
- Um...
582
00:22:57,250 --> 00:22:59,628
We... we might. We might do something.
583
00:22:59,711 --> 00:23:03,840
Oh, wait. Did you see that...
that funeral movie he did?
584
00:23:03,924 --> 00:23:05,467
- Ah!
- Yes!
585
00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:06,718
That was so funny!
586
00:23:07,302 --> 00:23:09,947
Me and your pops saw that thing
and we was screaming the whole time.
587
00:23:09,971 --> 00:23:10,847
[laughing]
588
00:23:10,931 --> 00:23:13,183
You sure it was the movie
making him scream?
589
00:23:13,266 --> 00:23:15,435
- [Nadine laughing]
- I'm going to the bathroom.
590
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,854
Oh, why? You feeling itchy?
591
00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:19,230
Huh?
592
00:23:19,981 --> 00:23:22,609
What's wrong with y'all?
Why y'all so mean to that lady?
593
00:23:22,692 --> 00:23:24,861
What do you expect me to do?
Child's 12 years old.
594
00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:27,322
- I gotta ask y'all a question.
- [Nadine] What?
595
00:23:27,406 --> 00:23:29,324
You saw those Tyler Perry movies.
596
00:23:29,741 --> 00:23:31,326
Did you see Green Book?
597
00:23:33,662 --> 00:23:35,247
- Green Book?
- Green Book.
598
00:23:35,956 --> 00:23:37,791
The movie that won the Oscar last year.
599
00:23:38,834 --> 00:23:40,836
The Academy Award for best picture?
600
00:23:41,044 --> 00:23:43,922
- Who... who was in it?
- I don't know nothing about Green Book.
601
00:23:44,005 --> 00:23:46,466
Can we get it at the Redbox?
I'll look at it.
602
00:23:46,550 --> 00:23:47,843
- We'll look at it.
- Yeah.
603
00:23:47,926 --> 00:23:50,095
I don't know nothing
about no book. A green book?
604
00:23:50,178 --> 00:23:52,556
I'll watch anything you want me to watch.
605
00:23:52,639 --> 00:23:54,558
Yeah, we'll watch it. Is it good?
606
00:23:54,641 --> 00:23:56,852
Why did I make my family watch [bleep]
that day?
607
00:23:58,854 --> 00:24:01,148
Because I know the one thing they'll do
608
00:24:01,231 --> 00:24:04,443
that Hollywood won't do
is keep it completely real with me.
609
00:24:05,026 --> 00:24:07,487
There's no way in hell
they're gonna like that shit. None.
610
00:24:07,571 --> 00:24:08,405
Trust me.
611
00:24:08,488 --> 00:24:09,406
[laughter]
612
00:24:09,489 --> 00:24:12,617
Oh, my God! Wasn't that good? Wasn't that?
613
00:24:13,034 --> 00:24:15,620
That is the best film
my son has ever made.
614
00:24:15,704 --> 00:24:17,372
That was so good!
615
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:19,791
[all talking excitedly]
616
00:24:23,086 --> 00:24:25,130
I did not see that coming.
617
00:24:25,964 --> 00:24:29,509
Dad, the last movie these people
probably paid to see was Uncle Drew.
618
00:24:29,593 --> 00:24:31,720
Here's the thing, though, Dre Dre. Like...
619
00:24:32,095 --> 00:24:34,973
sometimes, you got to just listen
to the public, hear the people.
620
00:24:35,557 --> 00:24:38,518
You can't always be that quirky, indie,
intellectual girl
621
00:24:38,602 --> 00:24:40,145
who looks down on everybody.
622
00:24:40,228 --> 00:24:42,981
Dad, that movie was not good.
623
00:24:43,064 --> 00:24:44,983
Who are we to decide what's good?
624
00:24:45,066 --> 00:24:46,902
What, you're quoting Uncle Ray now?
625
00:24:47,569 --> 00:24:48,820
I think I gotta do that panel.
626
00:24:49,905 --> 00:24:50,905
I do.
627
00:24:51,823 --> 00:24:53,033
I think I got to do it.
628
00:24:55,118 --> 00:24:57,078
Okay, thoughts.
629
00:24:58,038 --> 00:25:00,832
I loved it.
I mean, serious, it was crazy.
630
00:25:00,916 --> 00:25:02,667
The one car was like... [imitates car]
631
00:25:02,751 --> 00:25:04,503
and the other one was like...
[imitates car]
632
00:25:04,586 --> 00:25:06,505
Man, I've never seen no shit
like that before.
633
00:25:06,922 --> 00:25:08,089
What did you guys think?
634
00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:10,008
I thought
it was really interesting, honestly.
635
00:25:10,091 --> 00:25:12,344
Like, super professionally cast.
636
00:25:12,969 --> 00:25:14,569
- [Leeza] Yeah.
- Like paid actors? Yeah.
637
00:25:14,596 --> 00:25:16,157
[Jerome]
Well, yeah! They were really good.
638
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:18,975
They look like they showed up on time.
They knew their lines.
639
00:25:19,059 --> 00:25:21,436
- The lead actress was beautiful.
- [Nelson] Yeah.
640
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,748
- I mean, really pretty.
- The lead actress was beautiful?
641
00:25:23,772 --> 00:25:25,357
Yes, that happens often.
642
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,001
Another thing I noticed is that
a lot of times
643
00:25:27,025 --> 00:25:28,777
they use a small font for the credits,
644
00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:30,862
but these guys used a huge font,
and I loved that.
645
00:25:30,946 --> 00:25:34,574
What the fuck... what is going on, dude?
What did you guys think about the movie?
646
00:25:34,658 --> 00:25:35,992
Did you like it or not?
647
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,371
- [Nelson] Um...
- [Leeza] Well, there was... [groans]
648
00:25:39,496 --> 00:25:41,248
See, this is the problem right here, dude.
649
00:25:41,331 --> 00:25:44,125
Dude, why are you afraid to be honest?
650
00:25:44,209 --> 00:25:47,879
I think maybe it has something to do
with the environment you've created.
651
00:25:47,963 --> 00:25:49,756
What? You always...
652
00:25:49,923 --> 00:25:52,592
Look, this is a black movie, man.
And you're black.
653
00:25:52,676 --> 00:25:53,510
[Kenya] Yeah, I am.
654
00:25:53,593 --> 00:25:54,844
This could easily be a set up.
655
00:25:54,928 --> 00:25:56,781
- You're telling me this is not a set up?
- [Kenya] What?
656
00:25:56,805 --> 00:25:58,282
- So is that what this is about?
- [Jerome] Little bit.
657
00:25:58,306 --> 00:26:00,809
You're afraid to talk shit
because this is a black movie?
658
00:26:00,892 --> 00:26:05,313
I don't think I want to hear them
talk shit about a black movie.
659
00:26:05,564 --> 00:26:06,606
Okay.
660
00:26:06,690 --> 00:26:08,084
- That's true.
- [Jerome] That's fair.
661
00:26:08,108 --> 00:26:10,944
Mikayla, you and I need to hang out more.
You smoke?
662
00:26:12,487 --> 00:26:14,489
Mikayla's throwing it at me, right?
663
00:26:14,656 --> 00:26:16,157
I mean, I'm not crazy, right?
664
00:26:16,741 --> 00:26:20,078
[Drea] Um... I'll keep an eye out for it.
665
00:26:20,579 --> 00:26:21,579
Bet.
666
00:26:21,997 --> 00:26:23,206
[chuckles]
667
00:26:23,290 --> 00:26:24,708
Guys, seriously.
668
00:26:25,166 --> 00:26:28,962
One time, complete pass,
no repercussions.
669
00:26:29,337 --> 00:26:30,630
Just be honest,
670
00:26:30,714 --> 00:26:32,716
what the fuck did you think
about the movie?
671
00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:34,426
[Jerome exhales] Who's going first?
672
00:26:34,509 --> 00:26:35,861
- I'm going to do it.
- Now talking.
673
00:26:35,885 --> 00:26:37,178
Of course you are, right?
674
00:26:37,262 --> 00:26:39,347
I did not like it.
675
00:26:39,431 --> 00:26:40,515
I wanted to walk out,
676
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:42,618
but then I remembered that I was at work.
So I couldn't.
677
00:26:42,642 --> 00:26:44,060
- Okay.
- [Jerome] It's terrible!
678
00:26:44,144 --> 00:26:45,937
The whole conceit is just flawed.
679
00:26:46,021 --> 00:26:49,065
I don't understand why [bleep]
even brought [bleep] into this.
680
00:26:49,149 --> 00:26:50,900
- That was crazy, right?
- It made no sense!
681
00:26:50,984 --> 00:26:54,362
It made no sense. Because the movie
was a fucking train wreck.
682
00:26:54,446 --> 00:26:55,864
It was a train wreck,
683
00:26:55,947 --> 00:26:58,700
and, you know,
it was black this and black that,
684
00:26:58,783 --> 00:27:00,910
and I was like,
"Is that supposed to be impressive?"
685
00:27:00,994 --> 00:27:02,996
I've never seen you speak so passionately.
686
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:04,956
Or wave your head like that. What's that?
687
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,291
What? I... Hey.
688
00:27:06,374 --> 00:27:08,585
Where was that
when I asked the first time?
689
00:27:08,668 --> 00:27:11,713
- Why weren't you just honest?
- I don't know, we're not crazy people.
690
00:27:11,796 --> 00:27:13,757
Like, we can't say that to you, you know?
691
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,259
I'm not black.
I can't speak to the black experience,
692
00:27:16,343 --> 00:27:20,221
but I was pretty sure in that movie,
like, right away, it shit the bed.
693
00:27:20,305 --> 00:27:23,058
And it wasn't that professionally cast.
There were mistakes.
694
00:27:23,141 --> 00:27:25,393
But what about... The driving was dope.
695
00:27:25,518 --> 00:27:27,687
Come on! That's your thing?
696
00:27:27,979 --> 00:27:30,065
- Black people can drive fast?
- Drop it.
697
00:27:30,148 --> 00:27:32,692
So is that it?
Are we saying this is what's happening?
698
00:27:32,776 --> 00:27:35,570
That the critics are white guys like you
699
00:27:35,654 --> 00:27:38,865
and they're afraid to say anything
because they think if they say something,
700
00:27:38,948 --> 00:27:40,968
it'll be like, "We're speaking bad
against a black movie."
701
00:27:40,992 --> 00:27:42,744
So they say, "It's great.
It was amazing."
702
00:27:42,827 --> 00:27:45,955
Yes, exactly.
That's exactly what's happening.
703
00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:48,041
No, look,
I think it's all these movements too.
704
00:27:48,166 --> 00:27:49,542
The #metoo, the #timesup.
705
00:27:49,626 --> 00:27:51,419
- #OscarsSoWhite.
- [Nelson] Yeah.
706
00:27:51,503 --> 00:27:54,255
It's the times we're in, all right.
Everybody's on eggshells.
707
00:27:54,339 --> 00:27:56,841
You can't say anything
about anything ever, you know?
708
00:27:56,925 --> 00:27:58,569
In fact, I shouldn't' even said
what I just said.
709
00:27:58,593 --> 00:28:00,303
Emily, do not write that down.
710
00:28:00,387 --> 00:28:02,889
Where was all this
when fucking New Jack City was going on?
711
00:28:02,972 --> 00:28:04,474
- [Nelson] Right?
- Where was its 99?
712
00:28:04,557 --> 00:28:06,160
'Cause it definitely fucking deserved it.
713
00:28:06,184 --> 00:28:07,560
Okay. Let me just say this.
714
00:28:08,269 --> 00:28:10,188
Is it such a bad thing?
715
00:28:10,689 --> 00:28:13,483
This wave of black film and TV?
Like, does it matter
716
00:28:13,566 --> 00:28:15,461
what scores they get,
as long as they're getting made?
717
00:28:15,485 --> 00:28:18,154
But isn't there a better black filmmaker
718
00:28:18,238 --> 00:28:20,657
that needed their movie to get made
but that movie got made?
719
00:28:20,740 --> 00:28:22,826
- And his film can be made too.
- [Jerome] Sure.
720
00:28:22,909 --> 00:28:26,329
Is there, like, a freedom in,
like, being allowed to make bad movies?
721
00:28:26,413 --> 00:28:27,872
That's what King fought for.
722
00:28:27,956 --> 00:28:29,666
The freedom to make bad movies?
723
00:28:29,749 --> 00:28:30,749
Yes.
724
00:28:31,835 --> 00:28:32,961
[Drea] You look torn.
725
00:28:34,087 --> 00:28:35,922
I am. Fucking torn.
726
00:28:36,172 --> 00:28:38,453
I thought you said you got it wrong
with this one, though.
727
00:28:39,467 --> 00:28:42,637
Dude, you don't have to be that dude
right now. Seriously.
728
00:28:43,304 --> 00:28:45,464
Can you just please tell me
what you think I should do?
729
00:28:46,224 --> 00:28:49,269
Well, unlike you,
I would have been honest from the jump
730
00:28:49,352 --> 00:28:52,188
and said, "This movie is garbage,
and I cannot endorse it
731
00:28:52,272 --> 00:28:54,858
because I'm not
in the garbage-endorsing business."
732
00:28:56,109 --> 00:28:58,653
The world's going to kick you in your jaw.
733
00:28:59,446 --> 00:29:02,866
Seriously, just jump up
and just roundhouse you.
734
00:29:03,324 --> 00:29:04,325
You'll see.
735
00:29:04,409 --> 00:29:06,619
[Drea] My dad was obviously
in the weeds on this
736
00:29:06,703 --> 00:29:09,914
and looking for more clarity
on white critics and black cinema.
737
00:29:09,998 --> 00:29:14,085
So we went to New York to track down
a pretty reliable source on the matter.
738
00:29:14,169 --> 00:29:16,838
- Yo, this room is fucking dumb, dude.
- I know.
739
00:29:17,797 --> 00:29:21,176
This size in Manhattan?
You think this is on Expedia?
740
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,262
[Tyler] Uh, I don't think so.
How you doing, man?
741
00:29:24,345 --> 00:29:26,198
- [chuckling] Oh!
- Yeah, this is expensive. How you doing?
742
00:29:26,222 --> 00:29:27,682
Oh my God. It's Tyler Perry.
743
00:29:27,766 --> 00:29:29,785
- What's up man? Good to see you.
- What's up? How are you?
744
00:29:29,809 --> 00:29:31,686
- How are you? Hi, Drea, how are you?
- Hi.
745
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:33,438
- Good, how are you?
- Good.
746
00:29:33,521 --> 00:29:34,856
- Good to meet you.
- [laughing]
747
00:29:34,939 --> 00:29:38,860
Yo, you are a big motherfucker, man.
Do people know you're this tall?
748
00:29:39,527 --> 00:29:41,946
I'm not sure, but do people know
that you speak this way
749
00:29:42,030 --> 00:29:44,073
in front of your daughter,
using that language?
750
00:29:44,365 --> 00:29:48,578
No, it... it's cool, man. It's just,
you know, you're... you're cool, right?
751
00:29:48,661 --> 00:29:50,413
- Yeah, it's cool.
- Are you really?
752
00:29:51,372 --> 00:29:54,042
No. Not really,
but what am I gonna say? He's my father.
753
00:29:55,043 --> 00:29:57,796
What are you talking about, dude?
You curse at me all the time, dude.
754
00:29:57,879 --> 00:30:00,256
You told me to go fuck myself
on the cab ride over here.
755
00:30:00,340 --> 00:30:03,927
Yeah, because you told me you and Mom
were thinking about aborting me.
756
00:30:04,260 --> 00:30:06,179
- Kenya.
- No, I didn't say that.
757
00:30:06,262 --> 00:30:08,890
I said me and your mom
visited a few abortion clinics
758
00:30:08,973 --> 00:30:11,142
while we were pregnant,
but it worked out.
759
00:30:11,226 --> 00:30:14,354
Wow. I am never raising my kid in LA.
760
00:30:14,437 --> 00:30:16,773
That is crazy,
y'all talk to each other like that.
761
00:30:16,856 --> 00:30:18,775
- Wow.
- No... This is my baby.
762
00:30:18,858 --> 00:30:21,945
It's kinda our thing.
We have a special relationship. It's...
763
00:30:22,028 --> 00:30:25,323
Yes. One that's totally devoid of respect.
I get it.
764
00:30:25,740 --> 00:30:27,500
Hey, I gonna talk to your dad.
Help yourself.
765
00:30:27,534 --> 00:30:29,077
There's some great stuff over there.
766
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,162
Okay, come on. come on. Let's talk.
767
00:30:33,373 --> 00:30:34,373
Do you mind?
768
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,752
- That's from over there?
- Yeah.
769
00:30:38,837 --> 00:30:40,046
Yeah, I kind of do.
770
00:30:41,172 --> 00:30:42,966
- Really?
- Why you looking around the room?
771
00:30:43,049 --> 00:30:45,426
Really, yeah. Them motherfucking chips
are $35 a bag!
772
00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:46,427
- What?
- Yes.
773
00:30:46,511 --> 00:30:48,179
What kind of potatoes are damn $35?
774
00:30:48,263 --> 00:30:50,263
I need to go to Idaho
and find that fucking potato.
775
00:30:50,306 --> 00:30:51,850
- I kinda already opened it.
- Just...
776
00:30:51,975 --> 00:30:54,310
Go ahead, Kenya.
What's going on, man? Tell me.
777
00:30:54,853 --> 00:30:55,853
I mean...
778
00:30:56,229 --> 00:30:59,357
I feel like you have figured out
the beat of your own drum
779
00:30:59,732 --> 00:31:02,318
and that's what you dance to,
and it works for you
780
00:31:02,402 --> 00:31:03,862
and you don't seem like you care.
781
00:31:04,112 --> 00:31:05,112
I don't.
782
00:31:05,321 --> 00:31:07,073
I don't know how to do it, man.
783
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,200
I feel like I really care
what white people think.
784
00:31:09,242 --> 00:31:10,660
I think I care, like, a lot.
785
00:31:10,743 --> 00:31:12,370
I care what everybody thinks.
786
00:31:12,453 --> 00:31:15,874
To be honest with you, I feel like that's
almost all I care about, it seems like.
787
00:31:16,207 --> 00:31:17,292
What other people think.
788
00:31:17,750 --> 00:31:21,212
That's really sad, man.
It's a sad existence.
789
00:31:21,546 --> 00:31:23,131
It's not... It's not a great life.
790
00:31:23,715 --> 00:31:25,508
It seems like every time I do a project,
791
00:31:25,592 --> 00:31:28,512
the first thing I do after the project
comes out is go to Rotten Tomatoes.
792
00:31:29,095 --> 00:31:30,680
Let me tell you about them tomatoes.
793
00:31:31,139 --> 00:31:33,266
- I don't fuck with them.
- With tomatoes?
794
00:31:33,349 --> 00:31:35,602
I don't give a damn about it,
rotten or fresh.
795
00:31:35,685 --> 00:31:37,020
None of that means shit to me.
796
00:31:38,646 --> 00:31:41,274
[stuttering] That's amazing.
What about critics?
797
00:31:41,566 --> 00:31:44,110
I don't give a fuck.
798
00:31:44,903 --> 00:31:46,404
I guess... that's amazing.
799
00:31:46,487 --> 00:31:48,247
Can I just tell you why?
Let me tell you why.
800
00:31:48,323 --> 00:31:49,824
- Please.
- Because... Listen, man.
801
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:52,619
I know that I'm telling stories
that my folks want to see.
802
00:31:52,702 --> 00:31:54,102
I'm talking from our point of view,
803
00:31:54,162 --> 00:31:56,873
we're speaking a language,
we're speaking a shorthand that we get
804
00:31:56,956 --> 00:31:58,917
that white people don't necessarily get.
805
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:01,461
Nina Simone said this
and I never forgot it. She said,
806
00:32:01,544 --> 00:32:03,296
"You will use up everything you got
807
00:32:03,379 --> 00:32:05,256
trying to give everybody what they want."
808
00:32:05,632 --> 00:32:06,925
You got to focus, man.
809
00:32:07,008 --> 00:32:09,052
You know what I do?
I super-serve my niche.
810
00:32:09,135 --> 00:32:12,055
We speak a language. We're talking.
We know each other. We get it.
811
00:32:12,305 --> 00:32:14,891
There's a lot of times I see shit
that win Oscars and I be like,
812
00:32:14,974 --> 00:32:17,936
"What is this shit?" I walked out
halfway through it. I don't get it.
813
00:32:18,019 --> 00:32:20,688
And listen, I feel like they feel
the same way about my work.
814
00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:22,899
They don't get it, which is all cool.
815
00:32:23,107 --> 00:32:24,107
My mother,
816
00:32:24,484 --> 00:32:26,569
born in Jim Crow south in Louisiana,
817
00:32:26,653 --> 00:32:29,173
down the street from Mississippi
where Emmett Till was murdered.
818
00:32:29,197 --> 00:32:32,033
She told me the value of being who I am,
of my blackness.
819
00:32:32,116 --> 00:32:34,661
She said, "Don't you ever let anybody
tell you who you are.
820
00:32:34,744 --> 00:32:36,996
You know who you are,
you know where you come from."
821
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,208
I watched her stories, her struggles,
and that's what I'm telling.
822
00:32:40,291 --> 00:32:43,145
I'm telling the stories that I come from,
and that's why they're winning,
823
00:32:43,169 --> 00:32:45,755
because people are recognizing
themselves in these stories.
824
00:32:45,838 --> 00:32:47,799
No matter how crass people think they are,
825
00:32:47,882 --> 00:32:50,202
no matter what the critics say,
"Oh, I don't get this shit.
826
00:32:50,259 --> 00:32:51,320
I don't understand what it is."
827
00:32:51,344 --> 00:32:54,055
I don't give a fuck
because I'm talking to us.
828
00:32:54,138 --> 00:32:56,849
That's why millions of people
are watching my shows every week,
829
00:32:56,933 --> 00:32:59,578
that's why people keep showing up
and sending the movies to number one.
830
00:32:59,602 --> 00:33:02,063
I'm talking to us, connecting with us.
831
00:33:02,146 --> 00:33:04,941
You know what I'm saying?
Let me tell you what you're doing.
832
00:33:05,024 --> 00:33:07,777
Trying to get them to approve you.
That's what I don't get.
833
00:33:07,860 --> 00:33:09,860
Why are niggas running around
to get white folks...
834
00:33:09,904 --> 00:33:12,031
"Please tell me I'm special.
Oh, give me your Oscar.
835
00:33:12,115 --> 00:33:14,343
Let me know I'm all these things
that you want me to be."
836
00:33:14,367 --> 00:33:16,119
Fuck that. Tell your story,
837
00:33:16,202 --> 00:33:18,371
live in your own life
and your own culture.
838
00:33:18,454 --> 00:33:19,789
Tell your own experience.
839
00:33:20,039 --> 00:33:21,958
Can't nobody tell you how to be you.
840
00:33:22,667 --> 00:33:23,876
You hear what I'm saying?
841
00:33:25,086 --> 00:33:26,462
- I do, man.
- [Tyler] Good.
842
00:33:26,546 --> 00:33:29,298
- I really... really fucking do.
- Good.
843
00:33:30,550 --> 00:33:31,676
Thanks, Tyler Perry.
844
00:33:31,968 --> 00:33:33,678
You're welcome, Kenya Barris.
845
00:33:33,761 --> 00:33:36,490
- We doing government names?
- I just felt like it was a special moment.
846
00:33:36,514 --> 00:33:37,932
Yeah. All right.
847
00:33:38,141 --> 00:33:39,142
- [crunching]
- You done?
848
00:33:39,225 --> 00:33:42,186
God, these chips
are phenomenal, dog. Seriously.
849
00:33:42,270 --> 00:33:43,771
I guess I'll never know.
850
00:33:45,732 --> 00:33:48,443
Yo, have you seen [bleep] yet?
851
00:33:50,653 --> 00:33:53,489
Yo, is your assistant on the line?
Can... can she clear the line?
852
00:33:55,033 --> 00:33:56,034
Thanks, Alex.
853
00:33:56,784 --> 00:34:01,164
Yo, between me and you,
that shit is trash, dawg.
854
00:34:01,622 --> 00:34:03,374
Like trash-trash.
855
00:34:03,791 --> 00:34:04,791
Is it my fault?
856
00:34:05,126 --> 00:34:07,966
Okay, everything's your fault,
so you're gonna have to be more specific.
857
00:34:08,379 --> 00:34:11,466
- Is it my fault that they can't dance?
- Oh, of course it's your fault.
858
00:34:11,549 --> 00:34:12,884
You're the whitest person I know.
859
00:34:12,967 --> 00:34:15,053
What? Don't...
You're the whitest person I know.
860
00:34:15,178 --> 00:34:18,181
- That's such a white clapback.
- You're a white clapback.
861
00:34:18,264 --> 00:34:21,434
- Great. That was... Wow.
- That was not good, I know. I know.
862
00:34:22,351 --> 00:34:24,062
- Hey.
- Let me call you right back, dawg.
863
00:34:25,521 --> 00:34:27,899
Do you think it's my fault
that the kids can't dance?
864
00:34:28,191 --> 00:34:30,276
I don't have any time
for this right now, babe.
865
00:34:30,359 --> 00:34:31,402
Why? What's going on?
866
00:34:31,486 --> 00:34:32,487
[Kenya sighs]
867
00:34:32,570 --> 00:34:35,114
This panel shit's got me fucked up, man.
868
00:34:35,198 --> 00:34:37,116
- Why?
- Because,
869
00:34:37,366 --> 00:34:39,786
first I was gonna do it,
then I wasn't gonna do it,
870
00:34:39,869 --> 00:34:41,829
but now I'm thinking maybe I should do it.
871
00:34:41,913 --> 00:34:45,041
You need to stop messing around
and just do that goddamn panel.
872
00:34:45,166 --> 00:34:48,211
What? This is serious.
Why you playing around? This is serious.
873
00:34:48,294 --> 00:34:52,298
You know what's serious? That your house
has a crack in its foundation.
874
00:34:52,381 --> 00:34:54,550
- That's serious.
- Cracks are bad.
875
00:34:54,634 --> 00:34:55,802
We have a huge crack,
876
00:34:55,885 --> 00:34:59,555
and you are riding that wave right now
just like [bleep].
877
00:34:59,639 --> 00:35:02,433
- So, I suggest you play the game.
- What?
878
00:35:02,517 --> 00:35:05,770
You go to the panel,
you do all the things to keep it up
879
00:35:05,853 --> 00:35:10,441
because I want to make sure
that this beautiful, overpriced home
880
00:35:10,525 --> 00:35:13,361
doesn't deteriorate,
which could kind of happen any day.
881
00:35:14,654 --> 00:35:17,198
You think I'm riding
some kind of black wave?
882
00:35:17,782 --> 00:35:18,991
Yeah, it's a good thing.
883
00:35:19,075 --> 00:35:20,952
- No, it's not!
- We should be celebrating.
884
00:35:21,035 --> 00:35:23,955
Jesus Christ, dude.
Is nobody keeping it real with me?
885
00:35:24,455 --> 00:35:27,667
Like, is everybody just thinking
I'm on this wave too?
886
00:35:28,042 --> 00:35:29,836
Am I trash and nobody will tell...
887
00:35:30,628 --> 00:35:32,547
Do you think I'm trash?
888
00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:34,340
What? No! No.
889
00:35:34,423 --> 00:35:36,926
As a black woman, which I am,
890
00:35:37,301 --> 00:35:39,804
I support everything
and anything you do.
891
00:35:40,221 --> 00:35:42,390
#supporteverythingblack.
892
00:35:43,850 --> 00:35:47,061
What? Hashtag support ev...
What is... what is that?
893
00:35:47,145 --> 00:35:48,396
What do you mean, what is that?
894
00:35:48,479 --> 00:35:50,064
- What is...
- #supporteverythingblack.
895
00:35:50,148 --> 00:35:51,607
- It's a thing.
- It's not a thing.
896
00:35:51,691 --> 00:35:53,276
- Chlo.
- What?
897
00:35:53,359 --> 00:35:55,945
- #supporteverythingblack?
- It's definitely a thing.
898
00:35:56,654 --> 00:35:58,715
I feel like she's been stealing
money out of my wallet.
899
00:35:58,739 --> 00:36:01,242
She might have been,
but she knows what's up culturally.
900
00:36:01,993 --> 00:36:02,993
Dude.
901
00:36:04,078 --> 00:36:05,078
I'm trash.
902
00:36:06,664 --> 00:36:08,624
["I Want To Know What Love Is"
by Foreigner]
903
00:36:08,749 --> 00:36:11,294
It's one thing for white critics
to be scared of me,
904
00:36:11,502 --> 00:36:13,671
but it's a completely 'nother
for my people
905
00:36:13,754 --> 00:36:16,090
to only mess with me
because they feel like they have to.
906
00:36:17,216 --> 00:36:20,845
Last five years of my life,
I've pretty much killed myself.
907
00:36:22,597 --> 00:36:23,890
Is any of it real?
908
00:36:25,474 --> 00:36:26,517
The deals...
909
00:36:27,977 --> 00:36:29,270
the awards...
910
00:36:29,437 --> 00:36:31,564
♪ I wanna know what love is ♪
911
00:36:33,691 --> 00:36:35,401
Is it all just bullshit?
912
00:36:36,027 --> 00:36:37,111
Why does it matter?
913
00:36:37,612 --> 00:36:38,696
Why does it matter?
914
00:36:39,405 --> 00:36:41,574
Babe, as a writer, it's all that matters.
915
00:36:41,657 --> 00:36:43,993
You're constantly wondering
if you're a fraud,
916
00:36:44,076 --> 00:36:46,621
or if you're just running around
fooling everybody.
917
00:36:46,704 --> 00:36:49,040
So what,
you think you're fooling everyone?
918
00:36:49,123 --> 00:36:51,417
No. I don't know.
919
00:36:52,877 --> 00:36:53,877
Maybe.
920
00:36:55,087 --> 00:36:57,590
- I just know we got to fix this.
- Fix what?
921
00:36:57,673 --> 00:36:59,800
The system. It's broken.
922
00:37:00,801 --> 00:37:03,638
Or maybe we can figure out
some kind of high council that
923
00:37:03,721 --> 00:37:07,058
makes informed and educated decisions
on everything black.
924
00:37:07,141 --> 00:37:09,852
- A high council?
- I don't know what I'm saying.
925
00:37:09,936 --> 00:37:12,563
Maybe I sound crazy,
but we gotta figure out some way
926
00:37:12,647 --> 00:37:14,857
to police our own work. We have to.
927
00:37:17,151 --> 00:37:17,985
We have to.
928
00:37:18,069 --> 00:37:19,695
And wouldn't you know,
929
00:37:19,987 --> 00:37:22,907
my dad, like he's done
a million times before this,
930
00:37:22,990 --> 00:37:25,826
was able to say something
completely insane
931
00:37:26,285 --> 00:37:27,745
and somehow see it through.
932
00:37:27,828 --> 00:37:29,163
[phone ringing]
933
00:37:31,415 --> 00:37:33,751
- [Kenya] Hey, guys.
- Hey, KB. What's up, dog?
934
00:37:33,834 --> 00:37:34,895
- What up, what up?
- We here.
935
00:37:34,919 --> 00:37:37,231
Thank you guys all so much, seriously,
for hopping on this call.
936
00:37:37,255 --> 00:37:39,524
It means a lot. I know you guys
are all super busy. Thank you.
937
00:37:39,548 --> 00:37:41,801
Was this a choice?
'Cause it really didn't feel like it.
938
00:37:41,884 --> 00:37:43,886
You've been mad aggressive
with the calls lately.
939
00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:45,470
Um...
940
00:37:46,097 --> 00:37:48,641
Okay, I mean, I tried you 12 times
before I got a call back.
941
00:37:48,724 --> 00:37:50,893
I actually can't believe
you got all of us together.
942
00:37:50,977 --> 00:37:53,062
It's an incredibly talented
group of people.
943
00:37:53,145 --> 00:37:55,231
It kinda feels like history in the making.
944
00:37:55,314 --> 00:37:58,154
Okay, I don't know why everything
has to be about history with you, Ava.
945
00:37:58,234 --> 00:38:00,236
I think you're gonna actually
see this call
946
00:38:00,319 --> 00:38:02,738
is much less historical
than you think it's gonna be.
947
00:38:02,822 --> 00:38:05,822
So, Kenya, what are you trying to do?
Start a Black Illuminati or something?
948
00:38:05,866 --> 00:38:08,119
I promise you, it's not what I'm doing.
949
00:38:08,202 --> 00:38:12,164
Dude, that shit already exists, man.
Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz started that shit.
950
00:38:12,415 --> 00:38:14,041
- Okay, Lena.
- Oh, okay.
951
00:38:14,125 --> 00:38:17,336
[Lena] I'm... I'm not lying.
I've been to some of the meetings.
952
00:38:17,420 --> 00:38:19,380
- It's like a real thing.
- How you get invited?
953
00:38:19,463 --> 00:38:22,800
Like, they have meetings and stuff.
You get free haircuts.
954
00:38:22,883 --> 00:38:24,969
Jordans the day they come out,
955
00:38:25,261 --> 00:38:27,430
you know what I mean?
You get, like, clear skin,
956
00:38:27,513 --> 00:38:29,140
a year's supply of shea butter.
957
00:38:29,890 --> 00:38:33,185
Like, you always get a first-class seat
on Virgin Airlines.
958
00:38:33,269 --> 00:38:35,271
It's a real situation.
959
00:38:35,354 --> 00:38:37,315
They got actual Black Illuminati cards.
960
00:38:37,398 --> 00:38:38,441
Guys, can we kinda...
961
00:38:38,524 --> 00:38:40,026
It doubles as a key to your Tesla.
962
00:38:40,109 --> 00:38:41,485
- Lena, come on, man.
- I'm real!
963
00:38:41,569 --> 00:38:43,654
Can we get back
to what this call was about?
964
00:38:43,738 --> 00:38:46,032
Did you guys see that link I sent you
with the movie?
965
00:38:46,115 --> 00:38:47,658
What did you think?
966
00:38:49,285 --> 00:38:50,285
Who did it?
967
00:38:50,578 --> 00:38:51,578
[bleep].
968
00:38:51,871 --> 00:38:53,748
So it was pretty good. Pretty good.
969
00:38:53,831 --> 00:38:56,167
Yeah, I agree.
It was, it was... it was cool.
970
00:38:56,250 --> 00:38:58,044
I'm going to stop you right there.
971
00:38:58,169 --> 00:39:00,713
That shit was not cool.
There was nothing cool about that movie.
972
00:39:00,796 --> 00:39:02,089
You guys know it. Dude, come on!
973
00:39:02,173 --> 00:39:04,234
You know what I'm saying?
How are we ever going to get better
974
00:39:04,258 --> 00:39:05,736
if this is how we are with each other?
975
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,471
We have to be able to talk honestly
if we want our art to progress.
976
00:39:08,554 --> 00:39:11,033
We do it all the time with white stuff.
Why can't we do it with our own stuff?
977
00:39:11,057 --> 00:39:12,743
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I don't know,
978
00:39:12,767 --> 00:39:15,269
like, if I asked you
what you thought about Green Book.
979
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:17,396
No. Please don't bring up that movie.
980
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:18,522
[Tim] Oh, all right.
981
00:39:18,606 --> 00:39:19,482
Okay, Ava.
982
00:39:19,565 --> 00:39:21,984
Happy for Mahershala, though.
Happy for Mahershala.
983
00:39:22,068 --> 00:39:23,527
[Kenya] Always happy for Mahershala,
984
00:39:23,611 --> 00:39:24,904
uh, but let's keep talking,
985
00:39:24,987 --> 00:39:26,465
let's keep that kind of loose environment.
986
00:39:26,489 --> 00:39:27,889
We're feeling real. That felt real.
987
00:39:27,948 --> 00:39:29,492
Let's go on that. Let's go that route.
988
00:39:29,575 --> 00:39:31,744
- Um, Iss...
- Huh?
989
00:39:31,869 --> 00:39:36,290
I happen to really, really enjoy Insecure.
990
00:39:36,374 --> 00:39:37,374
It's a good show.
991
00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:40,961
What do you think
about my show, Black-ish?
992
00:39:41,253 --> 00:39:43,089
Oh! Uh...
993
00:39:43,839 --> 00:39:44,839
It's fine.
994
00:39:45,883 --> 00:39:46,717
Fine?
995
00:39:46,801 --> 00:39:48,219
Yeah, I mean, it's...
996
00:39:48,969 --> 00:39:52,473
It's for families.
I love black families, so...
997
00:39:52,556 --> 00:39:53,391
Uh-huh.
998
00:39:53,474 --> 00:39:55,184
I mean, I think some of your episodes
999
00:39:55,267 --> 00:39:57,770
could use some story-structure help
in the third act...
1000
00:39:57,853 --> 00:40:00,856
Because fucking Wrinkle in Time
was so ground-breaking?
1001
00:40:00,940 --> 00:40:03,692
I'm sorry, you know the innermost feelings
of nine-year-old girls?
1002
00:40:03,776 --> 00:40:05,462
- I'm sorry.
- I wouldn't put it past him, Ava.
1003
00:40:05,486 --> 00:40:08,948
Black-ish seems to tap into the hearts
and minds of 55-year-old white women.
1004
00:40:09,031 --> 00:40:10,783
[scoffs] That's very funny, Tim.
1005
00:40:11,325 --> 00:40:13,035
Guess it was no Ride Along 2, though.
1006
00:40:13,119 --> 00:40:16,080
Whoa. Is that what we're doing now?
We're setting people up?
1007
00:40:16,163 --> 00:40:18,541
Dude, nobody's setting you up.
I'm just saying. Come on man,
1008
00:40:18,624 --> 00:40:20,811
admit it was a money grab.
We all do money grabs. Come on.
1009
00:40:20,835 --> 00:40:22,437
Will, back me up.
You're the king of money grabs.
1010
00:40:22,461 --> 00:40:24,171
Back you up how, dude?
1011
00:40:24,255 --> 00:40:28,259
Uh, first of all, you got 7,000 projects
in development right now.
1012
00:40:28,342 --> 00:40:30,386
You literally say no to nothing.
1013
00:40:30,469 --> 00:40:32,304
I probably would have said no
to Night School.
1014
00:40:32,388 --> 00:40:33,806
Oh, oh, I'm sorry.
1015
00:40:33,889 --> 00:40:36,934
First of all, you didn't get asked
to write Night School.
1016
00:40:37,017 --> 00:40:40,020
Second of all, uh, Night School made
a hundred million dollars,
1017
00:40:40,104 --> 00:40:41,998
- so you'd been sayin' no to that, sir.
- Preach.
1018
00:40:42,022 --> 00:40:44,191
Maybe if they had called it
"Night School-ish."
1019
00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:45,443
[laughter]
1020
00:40:45,526 --> 00:40:47,319
Ha-ha. That's very funny, Tim.
1021
00:40:47,403 --> 00:40:49,738
Yo, Tim, good one.
Hey, Tim, you know what?
1022
00:40:49,822 --> 00:40:52,616
I'm about to hit you offline right now.
We need to talk writer ideas,
1023
00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:55,911
'cause my Girls Trip 2 writer
just fell out.
1024
00:40:55,995 --> 00:40:58,539
- I'm the writer for Girls Trip 2.
- I'll hit you right now.
1025
00:40:58,622 --> 00:41:00,624
Yeah. We should hang up on him.
All right.
1026
00:41:00,708 --> 00:41:01,917
Okay.
1027
00:41:02,001 --> 00:41:04,561
Now that I guess we've gotten through
that first round of bonding
1028
00:41:04,628 --> 00:41:06,881
over mutual disdain of my career,
1029
00:41:06,964 --> 00:41:08,674
maybe we can talk about some other stuff.
1030
00:41:08,757 --> 00:41:11,719
Can we talk about how we feel about Power?
People wanna talk about Power?
1031
00:41:11,802 --> 00:41:15,014
Kenya, this is not what I signed up for.
This is not constructive, brother.
1032
00:41:15,097 --> 00:41:16,474
This is not positive.
1033
00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:19,935
[stammering] This is not the beautiful
gathering I thought it would be.
1034
00:41:20,019 --> 00:41:22,104
Um, I'm... I'm good. Thank you.
1035
00:41:22,188 --> 00:41:25,357
Have a good hot mess of a...
whatever you're doing here.
1036
00:41:25,649 --> 00:41:26,484
Goodbye.
1037
00:41:26,567 --> 00:41:27,985
You know what? I'm out too.
1038
00:41:28,068 --> 00:41:30,589
Will and Tim are calling and they're
probably talking shit about you,
1039
00:41:30,613 --> 00:41:32,406
so I want to join that. Bye!
1040
00:41:32,490 --> 00:41:33,616
Could you...
1041
00:41:35,367 --> 00:41:36,367
[sighs]
1042
00:41:37,411 --> 00:41:39,121
Guess it's just me and you, Lena.
1043
00:41:39,205 --> 00:41:40,873
That was definitely shots fired, bro.
1044
00:41:41,081 --> 00:41:44,001
I got... That shit cut me,
you know what I'm saying?
1045
00:41:44,084 --> 00:41:46,504
Like, I like Black-ish, you know
what I'm saying, sometimes.
1046
00:41:46,587 --> 00:41:47,421
[sighs]
1047
00:41:47,505 --> 00:41:49,882
- But look, I think you're right.
- What?
1048
00:41:50,132 --> 00:41:52,194
We gotta talk about this shit, bro.
You've got a point.
1049
00:41:52,218 --> 00:41:54,011
I don't like to admit that,
1050
00:41:54,303 --> 00:41:55,387
'cause you're crazy,
1051
00:41:55,471 --> 00:41:57,181
but you got a point on this one, bro.
1052
00:41:57,264 --> 00:42:00,351
You do.
The dude that made Grown-ish and Black-ish
1053
00:42:00,809 --> 00:42:01,977
and Mixed-ish
1054
00:42:02,561 --> 00:42:05,314
is actually making the points-ish.
1055
00:42:05,898 --> 00:42:08,400
- Look bro, when's the panel?
- It's tomorrow night.
1056
00:42:08,484 --> 00:42:10,694
Okay, that is very last-minute.
1057
00:42:11,862 --> 00:42:13,906
I, um... I don't...
1058
00:42:13,989 --> 00:42:15,783
You know what?
Okay, I'mma cancel something.
1059
00:42:15,866 --> 00:42:17,706
I'mma cancel something.
I'mma cancel something.
1060
00:42:17,743 --> 00:42:19,463
- I'mma come. I'mma come.
- Are you serious?
1061
00:42:19,537 --> 00:42:22,414
- I'll do it with you.
- My God, thank you, Lena Waithe.
1062
00:42:22,498 --> 00:42:23,898
- Thank you.
- Yeah. But look, look,
1063
00:42:23,958 --> 00:42:25,167
we got to be honest, though.
1064
00:42:25,251 --> 00:42:27,920
We're gonna talk real.
We ain't gonna lie no more.
1065
00:42:28,003 --> 00:42:30,548
- Wow!
- If somebody gonna tell the truth,
1066
00:42:30,839 --> 00:42:33,050
I guess it's gotta be me.
I'm that motherfucker.
1067
00:42:33,300 --> 00:42:35,344
I already done stepped in it
with Will and Denzel.
1068
00:42:35,427 --> 00:42:37,388
I've apologized. We're cool now.
1069
00:42:37,471 --> 00:42:39,932
[sighing] I'm willing, I'll take the hit.
I'll take the hit.
1070
00:42:40,015 --> 00:42:44,186
The black, masculine-presenting lesbian
will take the motherfucking hit.
1071
00:42:44,270 --> 00:42:46,313
Let's go, Kenya. Let's go. It's go time.
1072
00:42:46,397 --> 00:42:47,398
[applause]
1073
00:42:47,481 --> 00:42:49,751
[Drea] So, in the spirit
of my dad and Lena keeping it real,
1074
00:42:49,775 --> 00:42:52,361
I figured I'd do the same
by showing the director's face.
1075
00:42:52,945 --> 00:42:55,489
I was ready
to let the chips fall where they may.
1076
00:42:55,573 --> 00:42:57,157
Ready to see history made.
1077
00:42:57,241 --> 00:42:58,951
- [Kenya] Congrats.
- [director] Thank you.
1078
00:42:59,034 --> 00:43:00,911
Thank you guys for coming tonight.
1079
00:43:00,995 --> 00:43:03,289
Um, thank you, Lena, for joining with me.
1080
00:43:03,497 --> 00:43:04,497
Um...
1081
00:43:04,707 --> 00:43:06,417
I can jump in if you want.
1082
00:43:06,792 --> 00:43:08,711
- Whatever.
- Okay. Cool.
1083
00:43:08,794 --> 00:43:10,796
I'm just gonna, I'mma get right to it.
1084
00:43:11,005 --> 00:43:12,464
So, the ending...
1085
00:43:12,965 --> 00:43:15,342
What were you going for
with your ending?
1086
00:43:16,135 --> 00:43:17,177
[clears throat]
1087
00:43:17,261 --> 00:43:20,723
Um, I would say... I would argue that, uh,
1088
00:43:20,973 --> 00:43:24,393
the ending, it's a commentary
on the social injustices
1089
00:43:24,476 --> 00:43:26,770
that we, as black people, face
1090
00:43:27,479 --> 00:43:29,189
post-civil rights,
1091
00:43:29,273 --> 00:43:32,610
where every other marginalized group
in this country
1092
00:43:32,693 --> 00:43:35,613
has made tremendous strides forward,
but we...
1093
00:43:35,988 --> 00:43:38,699
we tend to be straggling behind.
1094
00:43:38,782 --> 00:43:41,243
The imagery of a black man
playing a trumpet
1095
00:43:41,327 --> 00:43:43,037
on top of a cotton gin,
1096
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,913
that ties earlier
1097
00:43:44,997 --> 00:43:48,167
to the imagery of the record player
1098
00:43:48,250 --> 00:43:51,920
playing the same song
that the trumpet player was playing
1099
00:43:52,004 --> 00:43:53,047
at the end of the film.
1100
00:43:53,130 --> 00:43:56,592
And, if you remember, uh, in minute 72,
1101
00:43:56,967 --> 00:43:59,219
you see that pair of tap shoes,
1102
00:43:59,553 --> 00:44:03,807
the same pair of tap shoes that
the main character, the protagonist,
1103
00:44:03,891 --> 00:44:06,602
had been saving up for the entire film.
1104
00:44:06,685 --> 00:44:09,897
They don't think I should have called
the ship the SS Diabetes.
1105
00:44:09,980 --> 00:44:11,482
They felt like that was on the nose.
1106
00:44:11,565 --> 00:44:13,817
So, if black joy
1107
00:44:13,901 --> 00:44:15,944
is used to tell the story
1108
00:44:16,028 --> 00:44:19,114
of a tap-dancing fry cook
on the Death Star,
1109
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:20,658
then let it be known.
1110
00:44:20,741 --> 00:44:23,494
So that's what the ending was about.
1111
00:44:24,119 --> 00:44:25,204
[Kenya] Hmm.
1112
00:44:26,664 --> 00:44:27,581
Wow.
1113
00:44:27,665 --> 00:44:28,540
- Yeah.
- Um...
1114
00:44:28,624 --> 00:44:30,626
[crowd applauding]
1115
00:44:32,836 --> 00:44:35,839
But I think the thing
that I'm wondering is, like,
1116
00:44:36,548 --> 00:44:38,926
at what point do you feel like
1117
00:44:39,635 --> 00:44:42,429
any of that was a part of the movie?
1118
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,141
Because I'll be honest with you,
it felt a little bit scattered and...
1119
00:44:46,892 --> 00:44:48,102
unfocused and...
1120
00:44:49,061 --> 00:44:50,521
kinda pedestrian?
1121
00:44:50,604 --> 00:44:51,814
[laughs, inhales sharply]
1122
00:44:51,897 --> 00:44:53,023
[Kenya] No offense.
1123
00:44:53,107 --> 00:44:55,109
Oh. Okay. Uh...
1124
00:44:55,192 --> 00:44:58,320
Don't insult it three times
and then say "no offense."
1125
00:44:58,404 --> 00:45:01,115
Scattered and pedestrian?
1126
00:45:01,198 --> 00:45:02,658
[Kenya] I think this is the issue.
1127
00:45:02,741 --> 00:45:04,952
Okay, well, clearly
you didn't like it, right?
1128
00:45:05,035 --> 00:45:06,595
I'm... I'm not saying I didn't like it.
1129
00:45:06,662 --> 00:45:09,248
You had problems with it.
You're taking issue to it.
1130
00:45:09,331 --> 00:45:11,051
Lena, you know what?
You have any questions?
1131
00:45:11,083 --> 00:45:13,627
I would love to hear...
I would love to hear what you thought.
1132
00:45:13,711 --> 00:45:15,254
Me and Lena talked, all right?
1133
00:45:15,337 --> 00:45:17,131
She has some things to say,
but I mean...
1134
00:45:17,214 --> 00:45:19,216
If I could, you know, interject.
1135
00:45:19,967 --> 00:45:22,177
- Uh, I mean...
- [Kenya] Please. Thank you.
1136
00:45:22,761 --> 00:45:24,304
To be honest...
1137
00:45:25,347 --> 00:45:27,391
I liked it. [chuckles]
You know what I mean?
1138
00:45:27,599 --> 00:45:29,643
[crowd applauding]
1139
00:45:30,769 --> 00:45:34,314
I think you're saying a lot in the movie.
It's a lot of movie.
1140
00:45:34,398 --> 00:45:37,651
We're not used to seeing ourselves
in these kind of roles,
1141
00:45:38,277 --> 00:45:39,903
but ultimately,
1142
00:45:39,987 --> 00:45:41,488
this is an important film.
1143
00:45:41,947 --> 00:45:43,633
- It is?
- [Lena] It's a film we need to see.
1144
00:45:43,657 --> 00:45:46,660
Kenya, we gotta root for black people.
1145
00:45:46,744 --> 00:45:48,495
We gotta support each other.
1146
00:45:49,079 --> 00:45:51,165
At least in public, you know what I mean?
1147
00:45:51,248 --> 00:45:53,041
We need black unity.
1148
00:45:53,125 --> 00:45:54,209
[applause]
1149
00:45:54,293 --> 00:45:55,836
Yeah, yeah.
1150
00:45:56,545 --> 00:45:58,213
Lena Waithe, everybody.
1151
00:46:01,967 --> 00:46:03,385
[crowd cheering]
1152
00:46:03,552 --> 00:46:06,054
[Lena] The future right here.
The future of black cinema, man.
1153
00:46:06,138 --> 00:46:07,222
Oh. All right. We'll see.
1154
00:46:07,306 --> 00:46:09,224
Kenya, we'll talk. We'll talk after.
1155
00:46:09,308 --> 00:46:11,310
- I don't think that's necessary.
- [Lena] Okay.
1156
00:46:11,977 --> 00:46:14,097
- [Joya] How'd it go?
- [Kenya] I told him how I felt.
1157
00:46:14,354 --> 00:46:15,354
[Joya] God.
1158
00:46:15,773 --> 00:46:18,108
That's exactly the opposite
of what I told you to do.
1159
00:46:18,192 --> 00:46:19,276
Yeah. [sighs]
1160
00:46:19,485 --> 00:46:22,780
Dude, the only reason I said anything
or even care about any of this
1161
00:46:22,863 --> 00:46:25,491
is 'cause I'm, you know,
I am, dude, I'm hard on myself.
1162
00:46:25,574 --> 00:46:28,952
I feel like I'm coming at him
the way I'd want him to come at me.
1163
00:46:29,661 --> 00:46:32,122
If he had something to say about Black-ish
or this or that,
1164
00:46:32,206 --> 00:46:33,486
I feel like I'd want to hear it,
1165
00:46:33,540 --> 00:46:36,436
and that's the reason I want to tell him
the honest truth about his thing.
1166
00:46:36,460 --> 00:46:38,712
I want him to be not just
1167
00:46:39,254 --> 00:46:41,340
a great black director,
1168
00:46:41,423 --> 00:46:43,342
or I want to be
not just a great black writer,
1169
00:46:43,425 --> 00:46:45,025
I want to be a great writer who's black.
1170
00:46:45,052 --> 00:46:47,429
Why can't you just be
with other black people
1171
00:46:47,513 --> 00:46:51,058
and enjoy the success
that you all collectively have?
1172
00:46:51,141 --> 00:46:53,477
Because the only way
that we're going to keep each other
1173
00:46:53,977 --> 00:46:56,438
in the conversation
is to really police each other,
1174
00:46:56,522 --> 00:46:58,941
because we're right now
in this thing where
1175
00:46:59,191 --> 00:47:01,610
white people
aren't gonna be honest with us.
1176
00:47:01,693 --> 00:47:05,072
They're either gonna celebrate us publicly
because that's what's hip right now,
1177
00:47:05,155 --> 00:47:08,242
or secretly, behind the closed doors,
wait for our demise.
1178
00:47:08,325 --> 00:47:10,869
So we have to sort of tell each other
the truth.
1179
00:47:10,953 --> 00:47:12,454
That's the only way we get better.
1180
00:47:12,538 --> 00:47:14,206
I don't know if that's our job.
1181
00:47:14,289 --> 00:47:16,250
That certainly doesn't feel like my job.
1182
00:47:16,333 --> 00:47:18,877
Whatever my job is,
I have not done a good job.
1183
00:47:19,753 --> 00:47:21,338
- We failed.
- Yeah.
1184
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:22,923
We both failed.
1185
00:47:23,257 --> 00:47:26,260
I mean... you a little bit more than me.
1186
00:47:26,343 --> 00:47:29,805
I think you failed worse than me.
At least mine's not about money.
1187
00:47:31,056 --> 00:47:32,891
- How big is the crack?
- It's big.
1188
00:47:32,975 --> 00:47:35,769
Let's pray to God
we don't have an earthquake, you know?
1189
00:47:35,853 --> 00:47:38,272
You know, I don't say this a lot, but...
1190
00:47:38,897 --> 00:47:40,315
I'm proud of my dad.
1191
00:47:41,066 --> 00:47:42,234
I really am.
1192
00:47:43,652 --> 00:47:45,404
You know, he put it all on the line.
1193
00:47:45,821 --> 00:47:47,990
Most people wouldn't have the balls
to do that.
1194
00:47:48,532 --> 00:47:50,325
Probably for good reason, though.
1195
00:47:51,493 --> 00:47:53,120
Man might have ruined his career.
1196
00:47:53,620 --> 00:47:54,620
It's fine.
1197
00:47:54,913 --> 00:47:57,124
I didn't think
he'd make it this far anyway.
1198
00:47:57,291 --> 00:47:58,375
No one did.
