The Unenthusiastic Critic

The Unenthusiastic Critic


FRIDAY (1995)

November 07, 2019

This week, we're f–ing up the rotation, and asking Nakea to pick the movie: F. Gary Gray's comedy Friday (1995), starring Ice Cube, Chris Tucker, Nia Long, and the late great, John Witherspoon.

Witherspoon passed away on Oct. 29, so in his honor Nakea is taking control of this episode, and introducing Michael to the comedy legend's most iconic role in this '90s classic about life in the hood.

In the process, we finally discover what it takes to make The Unenthusiastic Critic laugh, as she revisits this hilarious, pot-smoking, scatalogical, drive-by-shooting tour de force.
