Theater VI: Next Friday




It's Been Done Before show

Summary: This week we’re taking a trip out to the suburbs to hang with our extended family as we talk about the very silly Next Friday.  Craig and his dad Willie are back in this sequel to Ice Cube’s hood comedy classic and Craig is moving out to Rancho Cucamonga. He moves out to the suburbs and in with his Uncle Elroy and cousin Day-Day to hide from Deebo’s planned revenge. Unfortunately, Craig still can’t keep himself out of trouble as he helps Day-Day with his crazy ex-girlfriend D’wana and tries to outwit the three Jokers next door.  He must find a way to help save his uncle’s house from the auction block and save his butt from Deebo and his brother Tyrone before the day ends or else all will be lost.  Why did they decide to take this franchise from realistic fiction to Scooby-Doo level wacky?  Smokey in rehab for weed?  To quote Bob Saget,  “Marijuana isn’t a drug!  Cocaine is a drug!”  Why did Deebo need a sidekick?  How many of Mike Epps’ lines were just him improvising?  If they make a fourth Friday, they must bring Chris Tucker back!  This isn’t a bad movie, it just doesn’t live up to the first film.  It is always on cable, so check it out when you have absolutely nothing better to do.  Thank you for all of the love you continue to show us.  Please rate and review the podcast wherever you get it and if you like the show, share it with your friends.  Have a great week.
