Last Friday night, Styles, Johan, Eric and I went to a party. A magician was there — and it’s a real shame that Sheek couldn’t make it because he loves that shit. But you could tell that the magician didn’t have the power to read minds or bend time because he made two very big mistakes… And those were dealing with Styles and me.
He first had Styles pick a card and then asked me to think of a number between 1 and 30. I chose 29. He just looked at me blankly and was like, “Are you sure?” I didn’t know I’d have to then - on his instruction - flip 29 cards to make the card appear. It was the longest, most anti-climactic trick ever. He got it right but woof, it took forever.
Throughout this ten minutes of me flipping cards, Styles — who was in VERY RARE FORM that night — was barking at this dude to “stop doing this magic shit and go get you some box.”
All in all, a great 2J3BD work retreat. I think we all learned a lot and grew closer because of it.
Last night our showcast waas down to 2J2BD (with Kiss on vacation) — and the dynamic felt like a throwback to when we first started the show a million years ago. It was my film pick this week and we did Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Very high scores on Rotten Tomatoes! But how will the Jim Carrey/Kate Winslet Millennial cult classic stand up to our show? Some notes:
Jadakiss would’ve hated it, for the record, so it’s fine that he missed this one.
Kanye famously loved it, and had the director and guy who did the score contribute to his celebrated sophomore album Late Registration.
And it was important to me, Eric and especially Johan, who says it’s a Top 3 movie for him.
Here’s what’s coming up on our calendar:
Eternal Sunshine is streaming on YouTube for free. Styles’ pick The Night Comes for Us is on Netflix and Eric’s pick Good Will Hunting is available on Pluto.
We’re working on figuring out our next live dates — I’m getting a lot of messages from Philly, Boston and Atlanta. And yes, we had one message from someone in Kansas City, though they said they’d travel to NYC if we’re not coming out there. (We’re not.) (At least not yet.) (But I’ll let Josh the Booker know anyway.)
And that’s it! That’s all I got for you this week © Don Don aka Sheek Louch.
As always, you can also find us on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Instagram, TikTok and right here, for our weekly newsletter. Hit up our Shopify shop to get some merch — we have stickers and magnets now! And we’ll see you in a couple of weeks.
Until then, here’s the form to suggest movies.
We got SO MANY suggestions this week. I had to edit down a couple of the longer messages on the right, just so it all fit in one screenshot. I might do 8 Mile for my next pick, it’s always something I think about after I’ve already made my pick. Requiem, I saw once in college, I wonder what I’d think now. Tenenbaums would be so good. Q lot of people have been asking for American Me and Blood In Blood Out, neither of which I’ve seen but have to, I know. And I am continuously surprised Styles doesn’t just pick True Romance — but maybe next time. I loved Drive My Car when I saw it in theatres a few years ago, I thought it was so good. The LOX wouldn’t have the patience for it, but I loved it.
Love the stack!
