Get Rich or Die Tryin' w/ Shawtane Bowen (Teaser)

This week, James and Jon are joined by writer and director Shawtane Bowen (Astronomy Club) to cover Get Rich or Die Tryin', written by Terence Winter, directed by Jim Sheridan, and starring Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Terrence Howard, Joy Bryant, Bill Duke, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Omar Benson Miller, and Viola Davis. Together, they cover the disconnect between the critical and popular consensus around the movie, the Drake/Kendrick beef, the status of the "hood classic," getting hit with baseballs, the movie's dicks, which performances work, 50 Cent's career as a producer, the experience of seeing the film in the theater in 2005, and more!
