90s hip-hop is on full display as the era's biggest stars earn their SAG cards in the cameo filled Yp! MTV Rap's sanctioned whodunit by 1st-time director Ted Demme.

A sci-fi movie from the 50s that stars a black man and a white woman, mixed in a triangle of passion with a white man and they’re possibly the last people on the Earth - sounds like a job for Harry Belafonte!

Vince and Len are stunned - no - flabbergasted by their guest, Philly news lady Denise James' disrespect for THE COLOR PURPLE (1985) or shall we say, her lack of regard for ONE WEAK LINK among the stellar cast of Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover et al.   *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.
