"I recently watch the 2 new basketball movies…"


          

Both were kinda meh but interesting

Air on Prime Video is basically Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s take on how Nike got MJ, the face of the actor that play Mike is never shown, Deloris Jordan played by Viola Davis basically emerges as the star of the show.

White Menu Can’t Jump on Hulu is of course a modern twist on the old film with the same name with Jack Harlow and Sinqua Wallace in the starring roles. I felt like Harlow was star of the show. Fans of other black tv shows will see some familiar faces. I thought the film had its humor moments but kinda drug out towards the end.

We both feel asleep, so maybe we were take tired, but I think it was just slow and boring, so much labored exposition. And Matt's sunny wasn't compelling- Chris Tucker wasn't either

Not sure I'll go back and finished it

I turned off WMCJ after 5 minutes.. its for the younger generation.

The OG is too good.

Just an unhinged string of low hanging race jokes and screenwriting 101 motivations. It’s not directed very interestingly either.


The basketball might be better than the original though.

Drops tomorrow on Peacock. I'm gonna check it, because I honestly don't know much about that squad, outside of Bron. Also, my guy Caleb McLaughlin is in it and I fuck with Wood Harris for life.

I kinda hate biopics (or similar films). They just all feel like VH1 movies to me, yet somehow they end up winning all sorts of awards. Still, I was entertained enough because the performances were good. Anything Matt Damon or Viola Davis are in is worth watching pretty much.

I’m not watching WMCJ. Trying to recreate the dynamic that Snipes and Harrelson had with 2 new people is an exercise in futility.

how you gonna start the movie in a gym and not on Venice Beach?

I guess these young bucks dont play outdoors like they used to.
