Did I see Ian 'Sharknado' Zeiring in the basketball game? Probably not? Just wanting to, I guess?

Even at what has to be about 60 now and 25 in this movie, JLD has always managed to look about 35.

C. Thomas Howell looks so much like a kid I went to high school. He was white though, and better at basketball.
To quote both Bruce Prichard and Tony Schiavone, "Fuck Duff Meltzer."

The dick-measuring part of this movie is odd.

This was the exact scene that I was expecting as soon as I learned the premise.

We're not quite halfway through, but I'm starting to feel that this movie is so unfunny, no one cares enough to cancel it.

He's been black for a couple weeks and he's already fucking things up chasing white women.

The Boston PD racially profiling motorists is only the second realistic thing in this movie so far.

Do I have time to take a shower? Not sure I can watch the rest of this without one.

James Earl Jones acting like he signed up thinking it was a different movie and found out what it was just before shooting.

Fifty minutes actually went pretty fast for something this terrible.

So, what have we all learned so far?
Re: Swamp Quarantine-ish Movie Night - Soul Man (1986), Thursday, Feb 18, 8:30 PM ET
The one thing I remember about how the denoument of this movie plays out is one of the worst things about it. (And obvs that's saying something).

Starting to think we may need to push "Savages" back a week and get a crowd-pleaser as a palate cleanser next week.

It might get worse, but I could conceivably see this as something a wannabe "woke" white person would think would work today. The only difference is that someone along the way would try to stop them.
