Hollywood Shuffle
Hollywood Shuffle is a 1987 American satirical comedy film about the racial stereotypes of African Americans in film and television. The film tracks the attempts of Bobby Taylor to become a successful actor and the mental and external roadblocks he encounters, represented through a series of interspersed vignettes and fantasies. Produced, directed, and co-written by Robert Townsend, the film is semi-autobiographical, reflecting Townsend's experiences as a black actor when he was told he was not "black enough" for certain roles.
Aspiring actor and hot-dog stand employee Bobby Taylor (Robert Townsend) catches the ire of his grandmother (Helen Martin) for auditioning for a role in the regrettably titled exploitation film "Jivetime Jimmy's Revenge." When Tinseltown Studios casts Taylor in the title role, he has a series of conflicted dreams satirizing African-American stereotypes in Hollywood, and must reconcile his career goals with his desire to remain a positive role model for his little brother (Craigus R Johnson).

I loved this movie & i rented the dvd from Netflix before it became a streaming service. Robert Townsend is criminally underrated and here are some fun facts: Robert Townsend auditioned for the role of Harpo in The Color Purple & after not getting the role he began working on Hollywood Shuffle. He said he wasn’t going to let whites tell black stories & him & Starlita Dupois were also mother & son in Odd Jobs. The hating dude at the audition was Roy Fegan (Bird from The Five Heartbeats). Rusty Cundieff was also in School Daze & he directed Sprung. Speaking of special guests you are guys awaiting for a special guest to do South Central?

"South Central" should be a great episode.

@Mr.Jones41 Ай бұрын

I think for us content creators, we need to watch the making of Hollywood shuffle and the making of The 5 Heartbeats. Those might be the blue prints, that can be in use.

I love this podcast because one I'm a cinephile and two I'm an independent filmmaker and you all are right When starting out keep doing it Don't worry about getting the top tier cameras as long as you have a good story and people can hear and see your movie they'll watch. Piece of advice that I received was make shorts So that way you will gain experience with every project that you do. I'm on my Robert Townsend grind And I'm enjoying this stage of it A lot of creativity comes out of this stage.

I have never seen “Hollywood Shuffle” I had to watch because yall in the studio. I’m gonna watch it tonight and rewatch this episode. ❤

I was put on game with Vin Diesel’s “Multi Facial” back in 1999 at Kunsan Air Base in South Korea by a coworker. I purchased it on DVD at the BX. I watch it every once a while when I get it fired to Wright, but I need inspiration to write. I should say I just popped that on the Hollywood shuffle my go to film is El mariachi I know not a blockbuster but it’s just one of those movies, but she just watch.

Credit the movie Action Jackson for breaking out of type cast roles for black lead actors Carl Weathers R.I.P 🌹 played a Character like Arnold. Stallone, an action character that was just a bad ass cop with almost super hero type abilities that took down the villains

@KingSwisher5 Ай бұрын

This movie was definitely a foundation for Keenan and Robert as far as sitcoms go. The sketches were the foundation of In Living Color and the way Robert daydreamed in the movie was how he made little skits in The Parent Hood. Also, a lot of the folks that acted in this movie had roles in The Parent Hood!

@terriethompson4929 Ай бұрын

This movie should be required viewing for any black creator in the entertainment space…it’s that important and it’s still relevant til this day! 💪🏽❤️

Had a chance to meet Robert Townsend and he is a great guy. He’s someone you want to see win which is why I think he was able to pull this movie off. I see why is actor friends believed in him.

@Smoke_PHAmily357 Ай бұрын

It sounds good, but I don't think y'all would give an honest review about a blackbuster if someone who was in the movie, directed, or wrote it came onto the podcast. Overall thoughts: of course this is a certified 5 ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿 and I see y'all listening to what we like to see with this episode being over an hour long, y'all are in the studio, reveiwing it from beginning to end instead skipping around.

Hey Ja and Tone… If you’ve never heard it before go and listen to Burn Hollywood Burn by Public Enemy ft: Ice Cube and Big Daddy Kane. That song goes perfect with this movie.
