Bernie Mac low key stole the show, with a character that had only a few lines. "I da pappy" 🤪👶🏾🍫🤣

[@AxiomAmnesia]

Yes he was amazing in this film!

[@mercermercepanama6334]

Bernie Mac was definitely underrated in this movie! I busted a gut laughing when he said "I'm the pappy! "

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

He stole the show in every movie he was in.

I kno a byyatch named Della who hit harder than that....still can't believe how that line went over so many heads😂

He even stole the show in transformers as that car dealer with bumble bee kat williams is right he is the true king of comedy and will not be replaced​@@therealmarlonbellamy

CAMP 8!!!! Melvin didn’t file that appeal for Claude because he was busy trying to get with Daisy. Here are some fun facts: Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence were also in Boomerang, Eddie Murphy & Miguel Nunez were also in Harlem Nights, Martin & Migel Nunez were also on Martin & in Life, Martin & Goldmouth played by the late Michael Taliferro were also in Bad Boys, A Thin Line Between Love & Hate & Martin, Guy Torry & Anthony Anderson were also in Trippin, Martin & Anthony Anderson were also in Big Momma’s House, Martin & the late Bernie Mac were also in What’s The Worst That Could Happen, Miguel Nunez & Anthony Anderson also appeared on The Bernie Mac Show, Willie played by Obba Babbatunde, Miguel Nunez & Bokeem Woobine were also in Black Dynamite & Eddie Murphy & Anthony Anderson were also in You People.

Melvin and daisy both aint shit they deserve each other. Hopefully things didn't work out for them.

RIP Bear Taliferro. That cornbread scene truly made the film for me. I never thought about that angle with Claude's cousin, but all it told me was lawyers were definitely shiesty then even if you were related to them.

Camp 8. I remember thinking that Martin and Eddie had great chemistry in this film. It also showed Martin's more dramatic side, which I was impressed with, especially when he told off Ray about how they were stuck together for 12 years. Also, funnily enough, Martin's daughter is with Eddie's son. They are practically family now.

[@coltonlamar8892]

I did 13 months in the pen, and to make the day go by, you have to create activity. I had a kitchen gig working lunch and dinner, and when I wasn't working, I would play basketball. I found like minded guys who were from my are, and so at nighttime, we would all shoot the shit until lights-out. Of course, thoughts of the world and freedom came frequently but I trained my mind to not think too passionate about it. Tbh, the only time that things got tough for me was whenever I made my phonecalls home and the 15 minutes would fly by and afterwards I would be in Mt feelings. But to counter that I would start card or chess games with niggas to occupy my mind. All in all, you have to keep busy cause soon as you have too much time to sit and think, the sooner you'll be in your feelings and the days seem longer. Oh and never , I mean NEVER count the days lol, I did but I shouldn't had. Easier said than done.

Camp 8, They broke character a LOT in this movie & it was hilarious. This cast was perfect honestly.

[@mermaidprettymuch]

Even with the comedy, the whole premise of this movie breaks my heart into a million pieces. I can’t ever watch this movie again ever.

[@AxiomAmnesia]

Understandable

[@marquishaile8]

i thought about a few years ago. This was indeed a slave movie. There were only black prisoners and hoppin Bob was like sambo. Unfortunately, there are a lot of hoppin Bobs in the black community, especially in the entertainment industry.

[@JayyyTheGr8_JMNG]

52:19 the rock thing was always a part of the movie that I never understood bc it implies that he can’t count. However, we do hear him count somewhat when he says ny #1 and ny #2. Also, later wen they escape, he knows that someone is missing wen it appears his count is off wen he’s doing bed chek. Also also, how does he know that he’s missing any rocks if he can’t count.

[@Teenytinymia]

Camp 8. "Hey get me sum Worcestersire sauce...and clean off that damn table! Fo' I whoop yo ass!" 😂😂😂 that line gets me every time😂😂😂😂

[@TheIcemanthomas]

This is a very underrated movie

[@JayyyTheGr8_JMNG]

54:14 they had to be running for awhile tho bc Mississippi state prison is in parchman, Ms and it’s said that they made it to the tallahatchie river before they got caught. Walk’n distance from the two is 15 hours and some change. But that does cause a plot hole bc if they were that far ahead and bob them didn’t start chasing until nightfall, it does bring up how did they catch up so fast.

[@dajanedior]

I genuinely thought Claude didnt care about that cornbread 😂

[@AxiomAmnesia]

😂 Claude wanted that cornbread, but not that bad that he would fight for it. 😆

[@miguelsonofzeus]

There's only a 4 year age difference from Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence.

[@AxiomAmnesia]

Yes, but the thing we were really talking about about, as opposed to cheit chronological age, is when they became famous. Although Martin was around playing roles since the early 80s, he didn't really make it until House Party, and he wasn't huge until the 90s.

[@miguelsonofzeus]

@AxiomAmnesia Oh, I forgot Martin Lawrence was a recurring role in "What's Happ'nin Now"

technically all prison movies are "slave" movies as USA 13th amendment allows slavery in prison. Good video and thoughtful commentary as always.

[@AxiomAmnesia]

I really appreciate that so many of our viewers are on point with this. You're absolutely correct. Most people don't "get" this, which is why we try to help them see the connection and understand the systemic dynamics at the same time.

I'm from Connecticut and when I used to spend the entire summer in South Carolina I've always had to go to the family farms and "Get that uppity up North mentality out of me" sloping hogs, feeding goats ,cows ,ducks and chickens the country was rough on me. I even got attacked by fire ants feeding the chickens. Til this day I only go into the country in the daytime and not in the fields or I'm in Colombia the 5 points metro. At least Hootie and the Blowfish is from there.😂

48:22 they got life not a life sentence. Two different things. I know it’s a matter of semantics but still, and no I don’t believe the cousin filed the appeal. He prolly been plotting on her and took advantage of the situation. Prolly even used that as a talk’n point to woo her over.

[@marquishaile8]

Y'all probably going to do a breakdown and fan theories on some of these characters, but i have a fan theory on Hoppin Bob and Winston Hancock. Hancock represents Claude if Claude fully gave in into the criminal underworld and Hoppin Bob is Ray if he gave into the system

[@AxiomAmnesia]

Interesting...

[@KingPhoenixDragon]

I'm thinking because Ray was conniving he'd have been Hancock whereas Claude being introverted would've become a shelf serving trustee like Bob.

I love this channel so much I just became a new member. Great review of another classic film. By the way, have you seen the movie "Origin" by Ava Duvernay? It had me in tears. I don't usually make requests, but I would love to hear your thoughts and analysis on the caste system in U.S. and how it's interconnected with the Holocaust. That would be a deep, eye-opening conversation I'm sure. If you've already covered it, please let me know where to find it. Thank you.

[@AxiomAmnesia]

Welcome.and thanks so much for your support of the channel. It means more than you know. We've seen the movie Origin. 😊. I will make sure we add it to the list of things we try to release for members, if not for the entire public. ❤️❤️❤️

[@AxiomAmnesia]

Thanks so much and we appreciate you joining us with your membership! We saw Origin, and we have so much to say on the caste system. We wanted to also listen to the book on which it was based so that we make sure we are getting a true representation of the author's position before we provide a review. This is one of those movies that deserves a bit of extra research. It's in the queue--a very long queue though. Maybe we can do something short just for the members that will give some thoughts on the overarching theme though. I'll see what I can do!

[@nelltheghost2166]

Martin & Eddie Not 10 years apart 😆...no disrespect of course....Eddie is born in 1961 and Marty Mar is 1965 4 years apart they are in the same age bracket

[@AxiomAmnesia]

Sorry we explained this in a confusing way. We were not trying to emphasize their chronological ages so much as emphasize they were in different comedic generations. We know Martin was technically around during the early 80s, but he wasn't even starting to get big until the late 80s. And he wasn't huge until the 90s. Whereas Eddie was huge at least 10 years earlier. That's what we were trying to explain. Notice how we talk about comedic generations right after we talk about their ages. That's where we were going with it. 😊

If the inmates were smart enough, they would have tried to escape too when the guards were looking for Claude and Ray.

[@AxiomAmnesia]

I don't think fearing consequences has anything to do with being smart. They were conditioned not to run, and I'm sure someone was left behind with a gun. Conditioning, fear for their lives and the repercussions are why they didn't run... The same reasons why most enslaved people didn't try to run North to freedom.
