SHOW NOTES:

• We talk about a lot of movies in this episode, including Back to the Future Part II, Bring It On, Akeela and the Bee, Caddyshack, Enter the Dragon, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Overboard, Adventures in Babysitting, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, D.C. Cab, Howard the Duck, Judgment Night and Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.
• Wazzup (1999) was a Budweiser ad directed by Drumline director Charles Stone III based on his own short film "true" which was based on a real event in his life. 
• Here’s the Make 7… Up Yours commercial starring Orlando Jones.
• Malik is the drummer who Andrew recommends following on Instagram.
• We talk a bit about Washington D.C. go-go music, which is a regional musical style that never got the widespread recognition it deserves. Da’ Butt by Experience Unlimited is probably the most well-known go-go song.
• We make reference to HBCUs. There are about 100 historically black colleges & universities in the US. Atlanta A&T is a fictional school. Morris Brown is a real college though and that's their band in the movie.
• We give props to the Judgment Night soundtrack. Jake was right that there’s an Onyx / Biohazard collabo on it, but Andrew’s right that it’s not the song “Slam”.
• DuckTales is a Disney cartoon adventure show about Donald Duck's nephews and uncle going on adventures. The original 1980s run was heavily based on the 1950s comics that taught Phil how to read. Phil's son watches the new series which features Paul F. Tompkins as Donald's cousin, Gladstone.
