00:00 - 52:18 - Baby Boy

52:18 - 1:16:24 - Malcolm in the Middle

we're joined by Jayson Buford on this week's episode to talk about John Singleton's 2001 masterpiece, Baby Boy. Tyrese deals with stunted adolescence and a world that isn't built for him, and Ving Rhames might be the only one who can set him straight. we get into the connections of Singleton to PTA and Spielberg, the recurring themes of his filmography, and Baby Boy's rough eccentricities that might keep it from being as much of a TV staple as Poetic Justice or Boyz N the Hood.

Then, on MitM(52:18), Malcolm pays a visit to his old friend Jason Blum with Insidious: The Red Door. Jayson does Barbiehammer and finally fills us in on the lighter side of the double feature before we relitigate the Nolan. JT prepares a little Pasolini snack, and Eddie remembers the late great William Friedkin and The French Connection upon his passing.
