MKHOST
Yeah.
MKHOST
I was thinking I was like maybe like during the movie if I'm ever like if one comes to mind or if something is funny, I'll just like jot it down.
MKHOST
Do a little
JohnHOST
meme.
JohnHOST
Well,
MKHOST
they're also not – well, that.
MKHOST
But they're also not the only podcast that like posts memes about the movies.
MKHOST
They don't own memes.
Dominican JohnnyHOST
That was through the right thing.
Dominican JohnnyHOST
But, no, I'm talking about in Bamboozled, there was a scene where I think they went and, like, the mafia actually, like, kidnapped the tap dancing boy.
Dominican JohnnyHOST
And he was saying that, like, he was like, you could be all of this, Versace and Capone.
Dominican JohnnyHOST
And he was naming, like, the Frank Whites and all that.
Justin DeclouxHOST
And I'm also thinking about the roles that he didn't take.
Justin DeclouxHOST
Like Spike Lee wanted him to star in Bamboozled.
Will SloanHOST
Well, also there's Django Unchained famously, which he turned down.
Will SloanHOST
And I think his stated reason for turning Django Unchained down is that he didn't like that the Christoph Waltz character had so much screen time at his expense.
BrandonHOST
Absolutely.
RashaniHOST
And when I saw him on Bamboozled, that's what I thought of as well, was Sammy Davis.

Bozoma Saint JohnGUEST
I love that.
Bozoma Saint JohnGUEST
And so when I saw him and I saw he was carrying something under his, his arm and it was the script of Bamboozled, I was like, "Oh, [laughs] give it here.
Bozoma Saint JohnGUEST
Let me read it." And because I had been educated at Wesleyan, because I had argued with some of the brightest minds, because I had met Nikki Giovanni and talked to her about her poetry, I felt that I could discuss art and literature with anyone, so why would I be afraid of Spike?
David BegnaudHOST
What notes-
Bakari SellersHOST
Jake, Jake thought he did his big one with this one.
Bakari SellersHOST
It reminded me of Mantan and Sleep'n Eat from, uh, uh, Bamboozled.
Bakari SellersHOST
Go watch that if y'all haven't watched it.
Bakari SellersHOST
Target, I, I just, I mean, the, the, the apology, you're right, is terrible.
Will FriedleHOST
It changed TV forever and introduced the world to names like Tommy Davidson, Damon Wayans, Jim Carrey, and Jamie Foxx.

Will FriedleHOST
We also just saw him in, uh, that ghost movie, The Scream Team.

And it was just announced that he will be-
Charli BaltimoreGUEST
So, um- I was cast in a, a Spike Lee movie.
Charli BaltimoreGUEST
It was my first movie, called Bamboozled, right? So, you know, usually when you go in for a casting, it's the casting director that's casting you.
Charli BaltimoreGUEST
He was actually casting the movie himself.
Charli BaltimoreGUEST
So I go in for a reading, I read for the movie, whatever, and he just randomly says, like, after the, uh, the reading is done, he was like, "You know who you look like?" And I was like, "Who?" And he said, uh, Ma- is her name Mai Tai? What was Prince's, uh, wife's name at the time? I, I don't wanna mispronounce her name.
