Our conversation takes compelling turns through films like Menace II Society, Belly, and Paid in Full, which earned our respect for their unflinching portrayals of street economics and their consequences. We give special attention to Latino cinema, highlighting Sin Nombre and Sicario for bringing authentic perspectives on immigration and cartel violence. The deeply moving Mi Familia receives particular praise for its multigenerational storytelling about Mexican-American experiences.

Speaker 2I've been good , you know just .
Speaker 1How's the family ?
Speaker 2Family's doing good . Beautiful . You know working . You know always thinking about things to improve within the podcast and excited to be here with you , man .
Speaker 1I can't agree with you more . I think the podcast is going well . Yeah , of course I think we're learning , obviously a lot of steps , but all good . What are we doing today ? What are we talking about today ?
Speaker 2Today , man , we're going to talk about hood and gangster movies . How about that ? You know it's part of the culture .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2You know what I mean .
Speaker 1All cultures , yeah .
Speaker 2Music .
Speaker 1Fashion , yep , what else ? Ambition , survival ?
Speaker 2Survival , just culture , worldwide . You know , and you know , and obviously you know , with every episode we have like our own you know guide and how we want to do things . So we might zigzag into those questions and those themes .
Speaker 1But yeah , we created an agenda . But you know , we like to like my compadre has said in the past , is just like to mix things up and just be transparent with the guys .
Speaker 2Yeah , and now that we're on the topic , I mean , obviously the first movie that comes to my mind is Blood .
Speaker 1In Blood Out . Yeah , you know , it's just , it's a good movie , it's a great movie , it's a Raza movie .
Speaker 2Exactly , yeah , you know , it's just , it's a good movie , it's a great movie , it's a rasa movie . It's exactly , yeah , rasa movie , which you know probably , which me and you could relate , um , even though it was like , recorded on , you know , in california , and you know , obviously the generation is probably a little different , it's you know the culture is probably a little different , but it's the same concept you know , here in new york , um , and I , I love the fact that you know .
Speaker 2blood in , blood out , it's just , it's just a classic , it's a brotherhood betrayal , gang life . It's . It's the life of three of three men , um , growing up in , uh , in the gang , in the gang life in the gang life in east los angeles . You know which ? I think they were cousins , you know , one became an artist , the other one became a cop and then , obviously , the third became a he just lived in jail , lived in jail man .
Speaker 1Yeah , in and out of jail . A convict yeah the white boy . It was a sad movie Definitely woke me up Like never . I don't want to fucking end up like Miklo or fucking Cruzito , even though he got his shit together , yeah , but he still went through some fucking rough , rough patches . Yeah , I mean , they all did . Yeah , they all did , they all did .
Speaker 2But I think that it was great to see the upcomings of those three men and where life took them .
Speaker 1Yeah , how they all evolved .
Speaker 2How they all evolved and then kind of synced them back .
Speaker 1So yeah , it was good . Good movie , Strong movie . What do you give it ? What do you rate it ?
Speaker 2Rate it from what
Blood In, Blood Out Discussion
Speaker 2?
Speaker 1One to ten , just one to five . One to five .
Speaker 2I'd say five .
Speaker 1Nice yeah , Generous guy you .
Speaker 2No , because it just hits all , all cylinders .
Speaker 1Yeah , you know , you're right , you know what I mean . You're right , you're absolutely right .
Speaker 2It has Good times , bad times . You got the roller coasters Up and down . You know , you know , you think that you know Things are gonna be Cinderella story and then it kinda Quickly just changes To older .
Speaker 1I think when , when Miklo got out of jail that first time . I thought , he was going to get his shit together .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1Yeah , but he got too hooked on just the bad life .
Speaker 2The criminal . Yeah , Crazy , it's the easy route . Yeah , you know . Same thing with like Crucito , you know , you think that you know all coming back to do his art , but the drugs man Just crazy .
Speaker 1Let me ask you a question . You know , you remember that scene when Mik Miklos robbing the , the armored truck , you would have shot your cousin .
Speaker 2Oh , you know what . You know what that ?
Speaker 1would have been a good and caliente question .
Speaker 2That would have been a good and caliente question .
Speaker 1Anyway , go ahead , talk to me , I think I wouldn't , you wouldn't shoot your cousin . I don't think so either , man , I can't , I don't think I can go . I can't . I think I can go . I can live with myself knowing that I fucking shot a family member .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , I would never be a cop .
Speaker 1Yeah Well , yeah , but hypothetically .
Speaker 2I just I wouldn't . I'm not disrespecting the cops . I think the NYPD blue and any cop here in the United States are . You know they rakes their lives . They rakes their lives every day for us and I appreciate and understand and you know I'm always , I'm always up , you know I'm always there , you know to like support . Well , it's a challenge .
Speaker 1It's a challenge , you know yeah , but I mean no , no , I personally wouldn't .
Scarface and Classic Gangster Films
Speaker 1Yeah , I wouldn't do it , I wouldn't shoot my cousin . Hell , no , I wouldn't .
Speaker 2Scarface is on our list yeah , scarface , legendary movie , that's another one . Um , who doesn't like Scarface man ? An upcoming American dream I was going to ask you before you got here .
Speaker 1I'm sure your kids have seen it , right ? Your kids have seen . I know your oldest probably saw it already . No , I don't think so .
Speaker 2Really no , maybe he did my question was going to be .
Speaker 1Well , it's going to be . You think this generation of youngsters have seen it .
Speaker 2That's a good question .
Speaker 1I wouldn't know man . I'm going to ask that . I think I'm sure my nephews .
Speaker 2They definitely might have heard it . They might have heard of it , but I don't think .
Speaker 1Well , you see Scarface T-shirts . The merch is everywhere .
Speaker 2But there's kids out there that wear these merch . They don't even know what the hell they're wearing . You're right , that is absolutely correct . That's another thing , that's another topic . But but going back to scarface , um , I mean I don't know . It's a good question . You know something that I probably will ask my son you know the oldest , just because I don't know what his head is at around that area . But who knows man ?
Speaker 1maybe they're hurting me , but I don't know . Maybe he has . You don't think he has . You don't think he has any , I don't think so and your daughter Nah Menos .
Speaker 2I don't think they could relate . Oh , I don't know .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2Maybe they do see it for the first time . Then it'll be like oh wow , you know Good movie , but I don't know , it's different times . Menos to society , ruthless , that's a good word , just that's a good word to describe it just not giving a fuck yeah , again recorded in what it wasn't in uh , compton , uh I believe , well , somewhere in la black urban society . Yeah , there , you know somewhere in la .
Speaker 1Yeah , belly bellyy is a video , a two-hour video , a very good two-hour music video yeah , I guess .
Speaker 2So who's your favorite actor there ?
Speaker 1Sincere , the homie Nas . He was great . What's his name ? The homie from Blood In , blood Out wanted to get out out of the hood , and , and since he would try to get out of the hood as well and he did , though he ended up going to Africa . That's true , that's right , he did , he wanted to get out of everything that he they went through .
Speaker 2Read a lot of books . Read a lot of books . According to the movie script yeah , what about Tommy ?
Speaker 1Tommy Another one .
Speaker 2That was that wow , bro , Just didn't give a fuck .
Speaker 1Oh man he just didn't care about anything .
Speaker 2But I like the fact . At the end you know when he was going to do what he was supposed to do . I'm not going to say the story because there's probably people out there that haven't seen the movie , but then the fact that know the the pastor , the priest yeah , yeah , was able to like , yeah , control the situation and make make him understand you know uh welcome up . That was uh , I was realized that shit was deep .
Speaker 1That was deep , yeah . What do you give it ? One to five yeah , solid four , solid four , very generous today it's real good , you're right , I like it . Colors is a little bit too old it's . Uh yeah , you ever seen that I did ? Did you like it ? I did Sean Penn .

Speaker 1Yeah , you had said Prior to this recording that you like Paid in full , a little more Than training day . Yeah , I do , yeah .
Speaker 2And it's not . They're close , but I think that for me , the fact that Changes Changes the whole Dynamic of Paid inool is that it's true events .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2And I think they played it to the . You know , they played it good and I think with Training Day , yeah , that probably does happen . Yeah , but I think that will never tell us .
Speaker 1A fucking cop going rogue like , especially in the narcotics department .
Speaker 2We'll never find that out Like , especially in the narcotics department .
Speaker 1We'll never find that out . We'll never find that out . It's true , American Gangster Ooh another sad , depressing story . Frank Lucas .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1That's a very sad story . Yeah , really sad story , not really he lived his life , though Frank Lucas had a . Do you think you remember that scene where they went to the fight ? Uh-huh when he wore that fur , that hat , the chinchilla . Yeah , that was a big mistake . I would've worn that he shouldn't have done that though I know he shouldn't have but I would've worn it .
Speaker 2Why ? Because it's just a bougie Just for the look .
Speaker 1He did it for his wife , I know done that .
Speaker 2Yeah , I fucked them over , got him caught . I got him caught , man , I see that's what I'm saying .
Speaker 1You be in the spotlight , you're gonna get caught . It's crazy how that movie was like .
Speaker 2Like you said , it's a real life movie yeah happened in harlem just selling heroin from fucking south asia what people don't know about frank lucas is that um he he was actually . He was actually um a soldier for um Kingpin in Harlem Very famous by the name of Bumpy Johnson .
Speaker 1Yep .
Speaker 2So Bumpy Johnson was really actually he was his right hand man , to be quite honest Taught him everything he knew . Yeah , taught him everything he knew . Man , like he was , like Frank Lucas was the real deal . Like Frank Lucas was . Like a killer , definitely . You know he . When Bumpy wanted someone to be eliminated guess who he called . He did the dirty work , he did the dirty work . So Frank Lucas was just a real , real gangster Like , and then for him to come and took over um Harlem .
Speaker 1Damn , that's played it perfectly what is ?
Speaker 2that 20 percent . You remember that one yeah yeah , that was amazing , and he shot him . He shot him right in the streets of harlem and everybody was just like what . He came back to the restaurant with his cousins and brothers . His cousin brothers are looking at him like what the hell , just happened .
Speaker 1These guys just came down from , came off from the south wiped his freaking mouth and , just like yo , we're a family now , yeah , are we missing something ? I'm sure we're a family . Now , yeah , are we missing something ? I'm sure we're missing a bunch of them . What are we talking about ?
Speaker 2What else I mean ? Yeah , so we talk about Mexican hood , gangster movies , right , so we got .
Speaker 1Oh Si Nombre , oh yeah .
Speaker 2That's the type of movie that we need to talk about . Very Watch it . We're not going to say all of what happened , because there's probably people out there that haven't seen
Training Day and American Gangster
Speaker 2the movie , but it's just based on real life events .
Speaker 1Yeah , it's based on a young woman from Honduras trying to get into the States .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1She runs into some trouble with some gang members Mm-hmm and Sabathruchas and then they're into some trouble as well . The guy that she runs into is a gang member , and then they yeah , it goes down from there .
Speaker 2I won't say too much , but that's a good movie . It's good , it's just depressing . Yeah , yeah , of course , but it's real , it's real , it's real and that's what I like about it , and it's shit what people really go through in life to get to the States . I think there , yeah , definitely a good movie . Decades , yeah , recommended , uh , what else ? Sicario I never watched it .
Speaker 1It's good , yeah I give it a five . Why is it good ? Because cartels . Who doesn't like cartels ? People love watching cartel movies like the show narcos great show . Uh , benicio del toro is a great p that role that he played he was a good guy , maybe bad guy fucking strong yeah what was emily blunt , I think is the , the female that plays that role , tambien , she was fucking brilliant in that .
Speaker 1Really , yeah , it's a . It's scary , scary world what people go through in the cartel world that I would never in my life want to get get involved with .
Speaker 2Obviously it's a war that goes on and we don't even know it we ?
Speaker 1yeah , I don't want to know it , but it's a good movie . Yeah , uh , I give it a five .
Speaker 2Oh damn we're being generous . We are right you started .
Speaker 1That's true , dead presidents . You said you liked Ooh yeah , dead Presidents .
Speaker 2Again a film in Harlem , I believe . Oh , it was based in Harlem , I think right .
Speaker 1Was it , was it I ?
Speaker 2might be wrong . I might be wrong about this one , but I think I'm pretty sure it was .
Speaker 1Why do you like it ?
Speaker 2I don't know man , it's just again it goes back to those type of movies . Don't know man , it's just again it goes back to like those type of movies . You know you start , you're starting from humble beginnings and then , you know , the journey of life just takes you to a whole different direction , like , for instance , with that president . You know he is a kid that just didn't know what the hell you want to do with his life .
Speaker 1He goes to the army and starts freaking , didn't like it , loses his mind to go to korea . Go to Korea right , to fight the Korean War . I think Vietnam , oh , vietnam , vietnam , yeah .
Speaker 2And then he comes back freaking just like traumatized right Another man . Another man and it's just like you know , he becomes a killing machine and then that's how the whole life you know , and then I bet you , this is what happens to a lot of soldiers . They , they don't know what the hell they're doing in the city . Thank you all for your service . By the way , absolutely , man , for all those veterans out there In the Bronx .
Speaker 1Oh , it's in the Bronx , it was taking place in the Bronx .
Speaker 2I mean , yeah , I think that it's a great movie . That's why I like it , because it was just kind of like that raw and gritty and like just people .
Speaker 1I feel like Durant's take . Who played the main ?
Speaker 2role . That's a good actor . Chris Tucker was there , he was .
Speaker 1He was the he was the drug addict at the end yeah , man . I felt like he didn't . He didn't feel appreciated from the government after all he did for his , for his country yeah , of course he couldn't . He jumped right back into trouble right after he came back from From Nam .
Speaker 2But why is that right ? Because you know he needed to provide for his family .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2And nobody was giving him an opportunity for him to work . So you know he knew guns . He knew guns , he knew just how to , like you know , to use them and he thought that a robbery would have just changed his trajectory in life .
Speaker 1But it turns out Fortunately it didn't Solid five .
Speaker 2Yeah , absolutely Solid five .
Speaker 1Solid 5 . Yeah , absolutely Solid 5 , absolutely Alright , where are we at ? So now we're switching gears , we're gonna go to Funny hood movies . What about Desperado Before we go there ?

I don't want to put a lot of information about about the movie , so I want you guys to watch it , but it's about um , three generations of a family and how you know they grew up in their upcomings . You know , and , and you know and how it affect , yeah , one how one . One specific life event affected not only one but two generations and you know it just goes to show you on , like , how to be able to look at it . And you know , look at it face on , uh , and , and there's trials and tribulations of the family , but even with those negative events , you know they're still a family , they still are together , they still try to find ways to help each other .
