- The category opens with the direct verdict “Tupac, no.” — Bill Simmons
- Ernest Dickerson receives a combination verdict for directing Juice while shooting Malcolm X, though his work on The Wire complicates the case.
- Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight is named as one participant’s favorite Dickerson movie but explicitly rejected as Dickerson’s Apex Mountain. — Van Lathan
- Khalil Kane and Jermaine Hopkins receive positive verdicts for their careers. — Wosny Lambre
- Neil Moritz is rejected because producing the Fast and Furious franchise became a larger achievement. — Wosny Lambre
- Cindy Heron receives an emphatic yes for combining the film with EnVogue’s success. — Bill Simmons
- Omar Epps is moved to Love & Basketball when the question is restricted to his characters named Quincy. — Bill Simmons
- For Omar Epps’s recurring angry, bulging-eye expression, the panel chooses Higher Learning as the apex. — Bill Simmons
- The DJ contest receives a positive verdict as the film peak for scratching.
- The panel narrows Harlem’s movie-location peak to Shaft, Harlem Nights, or Paid in Full and does not settle one answer.
The Joey Pants “That Guy” Award
Khalil Kain as Raheem; Michael Badalucco as Detective Kelly
In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 01:14:35Read transcript
- Rahim becomes the character name viewers use when recognizing the performer in other work.
- Khalil is judged culturally prominent enough that he sits near the upper edge of That Guy status. — Van Lathan
- The performer playing Blizzard is another possible answer.
- Detective Kelly’s performer is selected for a memorable mustache and amused interrogation demeanor.
- Jermaine Hopkins as Steele is considered, then qualified because the participant already knew Hopkins by name and from Lean on Me rather than identifying him only with this film. — Bill Simmons
