[@ReginaldTate-le6fe]

Yes, I've ACTUALLY SEEN those OUTTAKES MYSELF too as well okay @airpegasus5167.

[@alltruth2603]

[@nathanneelyoutlawdiditprod2891]

I've always thought that Life is a tragic story. The movie... the cast, the acting, the writing and direction, is exceptional but the story itself is heart-wrenching sad. The somewhat encouraging ending did not change that for me, considering everything that was lost.

[@djharris8491]

Yeah its amazing story telling. Cause you can see it a few times and know what's coming but still be in all the feels

[@drewalk63]

Yeah as I got older it hit me more that this is a tragic story with comedy.

[@MrBmick79]

it was sad. saw it at the theatre and aint seen it since

[@leandrisj]

Exactly. I was a child when I saw this and have intentionally avoided watching it since.

[@issstratton260]

​@@leandrisjMe too! I saw it at 10, and thought it was hilarious, until my brother who was 18 at the time, watched it with me, and it immediately dampened it. I don't even own it on DVD, which I am an avid collector. 📀

[@arttashfilms9816]

Wow man yall are BEAST at breaking these movies down. I watched this movie 100 times and didn't see things the way yall seen it until now

[@vision176]

Jah hit the nail on the head with the emotional part of Life. I feel the same way about watching Idlewild, Eves Bayou, Precious and others

[@gifi11]

I've been a day one fan. Like the new edit ins. Good to see Jah back and looking healthy. Life is one of the best movies, just not a black movie. No wasted scenes. Rick James, Miguel A. Núñez Jr, and Bernie Mac killed it on the low in this movie. Tone takes be crazy sometimes. He swayed me. Claud def ain't have no job lol.

[@multitoned]

Definitely doesn’t have a job. Lol.

[@gifi11]

@multitoned not remotely lol. You go from owing gangstas money to being a banker. Idk 🤷‍♂️ lol

[@andren8788]

Yes. The new edits definitely take it to another level and make you want to watch the KZbin more than listen to the audio.

[@yaboysix]

Wait ...Rick James was in LIFE? Lol

[@gifi11]

@@yaboysix 😂😂 yes. He was Spanky. The club owner.

[@1deep4life]

You guys need to do a mvp award for scenes. That scene where Claude had to go pick up sheriff Pike from the bus station was awesome

[@sylvestercarter1581]

That been hard for me to keep calm

[@Chefboiardae1]

Welcome back Jah...and shout-out to Jukebox Tone!

[@luckyent1299]

Have yall heard the rumor that Ray was Quick from Harlem Nights? His dad was Sugar. The boom boom room was him thinking about the good ole days at Sugar Rays.

[@presleywilliams33]

I've read in an alternate universe that was tru.

[@nicolesherman8974]

Jah is back 🔥🔥🔥

[@bennisford1712]

Bout DAMN TIME!!! been waiting forever for this

[@LouisBartholomew-n9v]

Lisa Nicole Carson is dealing with severe mental illness issues, that's why she hasn't been doing any films foreal.

[@DEastman-j3d]

Tone and Jah I’m telling you hood good klassic “The Wash”

[@drebaby72988]

The reason why Claude was in debt with the loan sharks in the beginning of the movie was because he was a Sports Gambler...and it's obvious he was HORRIBLE! He owed Spanky because he got the money he was gonna use to pay his bill taken by the loan sharks...and the reason he would've got fired from the bank job was because he would've stolen money to pay back his street debts 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

[@ejarridcw]

Oh this gonna be a good one. Jah back and yall doin Life? Come on now lol i respect yall for wanting the show to go on since Jah been busy but aint nothing like Tone and Jah together specifically. All love from Harlem ❤

[@multitoned]

Thanks so much for this!! You are gonna live what we have coming up next!!

[@G_Stalgia]

Lastly yall way "tone"hard on Claude, claude was tryna do right ,, he was tryna atleaste be a concious for ray which he needed AT THE TIME. Lets not forget RAY WAS A LONLEY MFER, HE LOKEY ADMIRED CLAUDES COME UP ATTITUDE AND WAS HOPING CLAUDE WOULD FK WITH HIM AND LIKE HIM REGARDSLESS HOW SQUARE HE WAS. RAY NEEDED A CLAUDE. RAYS FK UP CAUSED CLAUDE TO NEED HIM, THATS WHY CLAUDE WAS SO BITTER

[@lavetterobert7321]

It’s crazy….. I watched this movie in prison…. When there was a fire happening in the hospital a week later

[@SourcesSayMedia]

That's wild

[@drewalk63]

Ayyyyeeee CONGRATULATIONS Big Jah on your journey. Very inspirational. Life tho.......my all-time favorite 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 If this spoon was sharp enough......🤣🤣🤣

[@615Cashville]

They did explain why he was in debt he couldn’t pay his bill at the club that’s why plus he was starting the new job that Monday

[@keenanmadison7496]

Definitely been waiting on this one ... few nuggets ...Nipsey from Martin shot Biscuit ... Martin broke character when Eddie said I'll put the sheets on u.. the blooper real on this movie is insanely funny

[@ZENDEL-xs2lj]

[@Enduce40]

Greatest breakdown of any movie to date. Great work fellas! Yall gotta do some live shows. Screen outside... snacks etc. Guest question. Ijs

[@DEastman-j3d]

Tone we need the wash bro

[@joyjoy730]

I love this podcast and I watch it every week, but it ain’t nothing like the chemistry between Tone and Jah!!! Great review!!! ♥️

[@casonbrown6239]

I have to disagree with Tone Claude did have the job his girl was the proof even the gangsters mentioned him having the new job now remember Claude new baseball ⚾ so he got mixed up with the gangsters because I do agree he was aggrogont that why he he got mixed up into gambling on baseball but I do see 🙈 your points and wow Jah made a fantastic point about the Superintendent dying of heartbreak 💔

[@MegaFloyd17]

Nipsey from Martin shot biscuit

[@atownshawtypimp1]

This movie is a top 8 movie of all time because of all the topics and situations this movie hit. They hit heartstrings and funny bones. But it's a heavy movie with plenty of laughs. Another great adventure of Black Americans.

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

Welcome back Jah!!!!!

[@blackberrymolasses1502]

That fact that Eddie Murphy son and Martin Lawrence daughter are dating is funny to me for some reason. Two Legends!

[@chopgotsauce6812]

Shout outs to production cause the clip and pic inserts and so much value to the show

[@dadmillertv]

Another great broadcast BlackBusters Podcast!!! You guys definitely did a great job on the review of "LIFE". Please consider reviewing "The Wash" and " Losing Isaiah"! Much love and respect fellows, keep it going!!! #Number1intheworldCraig

[@issstratton260]

"Losing Isaiah" is an underrated one!

[@dadmillertv]

@@issstratton260 Ppl sleep on that "Losing Isaiah"

[@donnyouttheway4091]

Idk if people know or not but camp 8 is a real place in Mississippi. It’s called Parchman. Its in the delta( country country)

[@chuckEdopemoves]

The song that was playing while they was on the bus on the way to prison, mentioned something about parchman farm that's crazy

[@nawfsidemoe9858]

Look like “Big” Jah slid off to get that gastric sleeve

[@pfrazier11]

Life is my favorite movie and never thought Claude was lying about that job. Claude was full of it!!!

[@everettsims1928]

Man this one of them ones 🔥👌

[@gifi11]

They snapped on this one.

[@tarrellchilds2273]

Great breakdown. I thought I was the only one who really didn't completely enjoy this film because it's not truly a comedy. It's a great film but this story is tragic.

[@buddyraw9778]

Amazing review my good brothas. Another movie that was good but had me emotional was Nate Parker's 'Birth Of A Nation'. When them end credits started rolling, my girl had to tug my arm to get me up because I was stuck there weeping. That thoroughly f*cked me up and I'm getting emotional writing this now. I remember getting up and seeing a few older black men in the below seating, wiping their eyes as well. It was a heavy one.

[@youngart3]

Slim jah keep up the work

[@keenanmadison7496]

Sanaa dirty for marrying the cousin tho lol

[@iamrashadstreet]

Is just Jah now!! Big Jah is looking like he's turning the wheels back!

[@nubiangod10]

Slim Jahh in the building

[@kevinellis2428]

I think Claud had a gambling debt

[@keenanmadison7496]

Possibly betting on baseball games

[@joon9801]

Life is one of those movies, no matter where it is, beginning, middle, ending I have to watch!!!

[@sheltonfoye6962]

Skinny Jah….good shit my boi!!

[@ortbrad242]

Yall needed Tony Baker for this episode

[@djharris8491]

Its easy top 10 blk movies all time. The time passing section where we see who fades is when the realness and stakes of their sentence hits. You end up sad and mourning with them Even when they are free at emd, you doesnt feel like cheesy disney happy ending cause you still feel their lost

[@YosheeyawBogan]

Life is my 2nd Favorite Eddie Murphy movie of all time!!!

[@musiqman85]

Eh...Ray wasn't looking out for Claude, he only chose Claude because he didn't trust any of Spank's goons. He even said so in that scene. Ijs...🤷🏾‍♂️

[@markus410]

Heavy D and Bokeem were also in this movie

[@petey_know_pablo]

Life is one of the saddest comedies ever 😂

[@lawrencetitues3606]

Great review y'all should do Harlem Nights nxt

Man!! Finally got back to the essence of the show. Two brothers chopping it up about a cultural classic. Please dont bring back the random meaningless hot takes 🙏. The show is fire without it. Keep making great content fellas!

Do you guys plan on reviewing "I GOT THE HOOK-UP" (1998) anytime soon

[@brandohmc8547]

Medium Jah 😂😂😂

[@BishopP36]

Great work on how u guys broke this movie down. We all saw Claude selfishness but we overlooked it for the comedy. Plus he was a loser cause he cheated on his girl, even tho she hooked up with his attorney cousin smh... U play, u get played Claude lol

[@chuckEdopemoves]

Claud prolly bet on baseball which is the worst shit to bet on imo 😂 but i don't think he was lying about that job ! ... And I thought i was the only one to find this movie hilarious but also sad at the same time 💯💯

[@ashlinmorris7029]

They were bookies that he owed and sanna lathan confirmed that he DID have a job cuz she got upset that he was gone spend his first paycheck on season tickets to the Yankees

[@anthonyhayes9458]

Have you GUYS ever even did ANY Dead Presidents, Friday or even the 1995 movie Panther Reviews yet, Yes or No?

[@Wait---What]

Yea love the movie but everytime I get past the jokes these movie hurts and everytime I watch it’s like I’m hoping something changes and it hurts every time it doesn’t just cause it’s so real to real life and how easy it is to get put away & just waste they life away.

[@615Cashville]

Wanna see the 3 strikes review and I’m from the south. It’s one of my favorites

facts life is a great movie but extremely sad even when they do get out its been so much time pass. its a whole new world its funny but very realistic. all the blk men who died having to spend their life in prison camps tho they were framed.

[@terrelltorry800]

I hate that us black folks are always knocking each other even when we make positive changes for the better smh dude just said he made necessary life changes but instead of 👏🏾 it’s the bullshit negative comments.

That montage scene was a bitch.. i get wat jah was saying...i still love the movie but it puts persepctive on how ur life is just a period of time , a blip, that u have to make the most of and give value to cuz in an instant it can be. Taken away. It also means ppl gives ur life value..
