Cinema Span
The first season of Cinema Span is about one thing and one thing only: the films of 2007. We’re doing all of it, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly! (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly will not be covered because it’s from 1966.)

2007 was a good year for Denzel Washington, starring in Ridley Scott's "American Gangster" as well as directing his second film "The Great Debaters". YouTuber Jaylon Lee (@jayyxvii.x on Instagram) from The Loft (@theloft818 on YouTube) joins Louis to discuss these films and the larger historical picture at play. Jay's dogs are hanging out too in the video version, it's a good time.
I hope that you never find yourself bound to a chair as Frank Lucas douses you with gasoline, sets you aflame, and shoots you multiple times point blank. May we all beat the official Harvard account in debates on Twitter instead.
[The Great Debaters discussion begins at 1:05:50]

Look, we went through this so you didn't have to. Although, this double was making me wonder if we should reconceptualize the show...
YouTuber Jaylon Lee (@jayyxvii.x on Instagram) from The Loft (@theloft818 on YouTube) joins Louis in the studio to talk about Ice Cube's follow up to Are We There Yet?- Are We Done Yet?, which is somehow based off of a 40's comedy called Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House and it's 80's remake, The Money Pit. And I guess we eventually get around to talking about Eddie Murphey's Norbit...

It's a miracle, we're pregnant! How did that happen? Can a podcast even get pregnant? Does it matter? We're having twins, and I know just what I'm going to call them, baby Juno and baby... Knocked Up. Alright that sounded better in my head.
Joining the conversation are improvisor/comedians Devin Beckwith (@devinbeckwith) and Mahyn Qureshi (@MahynRocks) of The Class of '69 (@classof1969_).
[The Knocked Up discussion starts at 48:50]
