	Description:		On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are gearing up with far too many guns to take on the baddest Mr. Big this side of Sex and the City in Keenan Ivory Wayans’ 1988 film, I’m Gonna Git You Sucka. Viewer (or podcast listener?) be warned: this is a straight-up spoof film. This is not the sort of high-brow comedy film that Sean was expecting, nor was it solely a drama or action film. It feels kind of strange to say, but this is a piece of work that has some deep layers. Indeed, very much like an onion, as the saying goes. It’s a tale as old as time. A highly decorated man comes back from the military to find that his brother has been killed by a surplus of gold jewelry. He discovers that the dreaded Mr. Big has been filling the street with the shiny stuff and vows to take down this lowlife piece of scum. After reuniting with his dear, ass-kicking mother and his beloved girl, he forms a supergroup of black heroes from the ‘70s to back him up in his quest for revenge. Along the way, he tussles with hooligans, gets into fights with little people, and hangs out with freaking Isaac Hayes. You have everyone’s permission to dig it, friend. If this film sounds more serious than what it actually is, then you’re in good company. Sean had no idea what he was in store for, but in his defense, the trailer for the film paints a different picture of its content (make sure to check it out in the links below). Once you can get over its absurdity, you’ll undoubtedly have as good a time watching this as Steven did. There’s a lot of silliness to be had in this film. It is a film that parodies the blaxploitation movies that were so popular back in the ‘70s. It does so with obvious love and respect. It doesn’t look down on its source material. It puts a ridiculous spin on it instead. If that isn’t a perfect recipe for a B-movie bonus episode, then I don’t know what is. Make sure you listen to find out if we thought this one was brilliant, a blunder, or a flunder of a film.
