It's rad. It's a semi-true-ish story about the early days of rap moguls Russel Simmons and Rick Rubin. It has Run DMC in it, along with a very young LL Cool J and Sheila E!

Back in the late 90's, I used to hang out with this guy Matt, who had very strange taste in movies and music. He certainly brought out my weirdness. One day, we decided to have a little film festival. The theme was movies that one of us had seen but the other had not. We watched:

  • Krush Groove

  • G I Joe The Movie (The cartoon one, not the new one obviously.)

  • Eraserhead

  • ...and something else. Dern, can't remember. I just shot him a Twitter to see if he remembers...
    UPDATE: Matt said "Superman 2? But I thought we only watched three movies that day"


We both had part-time jobs back then, so it was easy to waste a day watching TV. Now, I can barely get through True Blood.

He moved to Austria, but we visit each other all the time.

If you really think thats what the theme was then obviously it wouldnt have Superman 2. But I still think we watched Superman 2 that day - so I think you're wrong about the theme.

Your turn - go.

Ok, I guess the theme was more like "movies we laughed about a lot on our lunch breaks at SDSU."

I think you may be right. 3 movies. I think we gave up on one of them. We definitely had Cold Stone, and it rained that day. How's that for retention?!
