Deep Cover (1992)

Hell yeah

Woah this movie was wild from the jump. As much as I Iove 90s west coast rap I wasn't familiar with Deep Cover song til Snoop performed on Chappelle Show. I just read up on it and it was created for the deep cover movie. It also came out before The Chronic and was the real debut of Snoop. Wasn't on anyone's album so I was late to it. Also, did Fishbourne have a police walkie talkie on him the whole time he was undercover? Love how he just pulls it out at the end to call for back up.

I was gonna say Pope Of Greenwich Village isn’t an action movie but Rourke really kicks the shit out of his apartment

This one is gonna take up space in my brain - I WANT MY CAKE AND EAT IT TOO

Cleveland should have changed their name to the Red Devils instead of the Guardians...

Gopher is also great in Curse 2: The Bite, where a man gets bitten by a radioactive snake that turns his arm into an even bigger snake that bites people.

Last movie I was this hyped for was king of New York. Great ep thanks for covering it

Didn’t believe in Santa as a kid because it was “too dumb”. Enjoys putting together IKEA shit as an adult. Add that to Rodgers’ psych profile. What a sick fuck

Excited to hear Rodgers trash The Batman. What a snoozer.

In a really strange coincidence, we also had a fat bearded guy on local public access tv. Our guy dressed in a Batman mask that had neon stripes. He called himself the Bat-Poet and he would read his strange poetry. I would watch it for hours just bewildered. https://youtu.be/LYkPB7aKk5w

I don't like to hear my three men talk about how old they are. You are not old. You are strong kings! You have so much life to live and love to give. I praise you on high

WAIT! THERE'S A WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE!?

For the past 25 years I’ve just assumed James Caan has a big old hog thanks to that Mario Puzo subplot. End of post

My mom has always refused to be in control of a dvd/vcr player. If you have to change an input.. she's out.

Anyone else think Dave Chappelle might have modeled the look of his crack addict character off of Fishburne's dad in this movie?

Wow Rodgers is right, this Ski Mask guy from Buffalo is amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNWLkxLhPzY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDjvStchiJE

My surname is "Hull," and yeah, it is weird to say. Any time I have to tell somebody my name I preemptively just spell it out immediately after I say it, or else I inevitably wind up going through the routine of "Hall? Hill? Hole?" Anyway, great movie and great episode.

I really liked this episode. It’s a near-perfect encapsulation of the podcast. Great stuff Boyz!

"so get in the f'n VAN.." DE LA SOUL song 3DaysLater samples JGold in this movie and I hav always luved it. thx for the terrific content 😎 https://youtu.be/HmHE61EEp_E

Had a lot of crazy public access in Seattle in the 90’s. A young Brody Stevens had a show(“Jews and Samoans Rule The World”) when I was in junior high, RIP. There was “KURT COBAIN WAS MURDERED” pretty self explanatory, the creepo host would follow Courtney Love around with his camcorder. A dude calling himself Mike Hunt would just play porn until he’d get suspended and come back and do it again.. there was a chubby naked hippie girl who’d just dance around, paint her body and ramble into the camera forever, in life drawing when I got to art school she showed up as the model for the day my 19 year old mind was blown.. but yeah I think psychos doing Riddler-esque shit is par for the course on public access

A tight 150 minutes.

This episode fucking rules.

I had a boss that would take the full NY Times into the shitter. First thing in the morning. He also proudly told people he bought a manual car because his wife couldn't drive it. AND on my birthday, invited me out to lunch and then split check.

So many of these actors were also on the 90s TV show Nasty Boys which I’m surprised doesn’t come up more often. Also Gopher the real hero of Deep Cover.

The Air Bud production company operates out of the building I work at and they still crank out exclusively talking animal movies and TV shows. The most depressing fact to me is that the DOP for a lot of them is Mark Irwin who did a lot of Cronenberg classics plus Scream and AB movies Robocop 2 and Passenger 57. I guess he's old and doesn't give a shit but still kind of a bummer.

As a female therapist...if women have to go to the bathroom during a session, they'll usually announce and then pause to go, and come back to the session. Men will get SWEATY, make up an excuse and run.

Deep Cover aka "The Krang Episode"

Love the idea of having an insult loaded and ready to go "in case they cross me" lmao

Those VHS rewinder cars were fucking dope.

Rechargeable AA batteries are still a scam, the folks use them for their 00s tech (big fans of teal it seems), and with the charging life in them you’re better off buying cheap single use in bulk. Anyway, new film for me, looking forward to it, love both stars.

This movie rules. I unironically love it when the Action Boyz teach me about early 90s black cinema that never made it over here.

This is a great early 90s flick that I initially saw at the movies. My buddies and I watched this until the vhs tape broke. It had an underrated soundtrack as well.

Good movie 👍🏽👍🏽

Is this the first Action Boyz film that is part of the Criterion Collection?

Been waiting for this one, give Stanger some kisses for me. I love Stanger. “With dreams begin responsibilities.” JEFF GOLDBLUM - David Jason
