Episode 2 - Love Jones and Urban Classics

The Non Critic

Join Kike and I as we talk about Love Jones and some of our best and worst urban classics, and delved into what makes a black movie, what these movies mean for our community and whether that term is now irrelevant in the 'age of wokeness' that is 2017. As usual, it got real funny and real deep. We questioned, we debated, we laughed and we name-dropped like hell. For all the movies, actors and topics that were brought up in this episode (and there were a few, believe me), catch the links down below, as well as information on how to find us online and how to find Kike's business, BYP Network online and get tickets to their event this Thursday. Peace!
