“We have other stories to tell” -Aries spears

They should stop making Fast and Furious movies first lol

This is the only times I actually agree with Aries 100%…As much as it is important to highlight the past, but Hollywood loves to show blacks as “victims”.

Vlad really said Wakada. He might as well have just said Blade. 🤣🤣

“You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.”

Vlad really said the story of wakanda 😂😂😂

Is Vlad really arguing for making more slave movies because their high budget?? Ok let’s make a bunch of holocaust movies to balance it out

Let’s get a Mansa Musa documentary. Orgins of Kemet, etc. Our story did not start with enslavement.

“there we go, atta boy” made Glad ask about Asians 😭😭😭😭😭

We dont even have a huey Newton or marcus garvey bio yet we have constant slave films

Did Vlad really say “I’m supportive off all stories I told you, I love FRIDAY”….

"All stories are not being told!"

Aries is right , they need more movies and tv series based on black experience not just slavery and civil rights . Slave movies and civil rights can still be made from time to time. However more stories should be made . We need more positive and aspirational movies to show and remind people what black can do

“Hidden Figures” was a hell of a movie ❤

The thing is that when ever Hollywood makes a slave movie they never tell the whole entire story right 💯🤦🏽‍♂️ they never show the truly gruesome and WICKED side of slavery

Vlad said “wakanda” 😂😂😂😂😂

This man said Wakanda 😂

The boy in the stripped pajamas is a holocaust film. I’m 30 and also remember Anne Franks bio being a part of school curriculum in middle school. He mentioned woman king which is another slave movie 😂

Honestly after playing RDR2 I would love to play a Nat Turner game going around freeing and deleting.

Aries is right. Compared to some others in Hollywood, what Will did “is forgivable”. That said, IMO, it’s not something for us (the public) to forgive. Will slapped (assaulted) Chris Rock, not any of us. Chris should and will let us know if he’s forgiven Will or not. All that aside, Will’s new movie doesn’t look particularly engaging, interesting or different from any other “slave” movie - that’s why I’m in no rush to view it. They are needed (overall, in some regard) but this movie in particular maybe not.

Vlad should've responded to Aries with "Hidden Figures", a true story about Black women working for NASA.

As a black man that I've traced my family origins from slaves I don't like watching slave movies. I'm sure it's not intentional but it's almost like they are mocking us. Like ya it's F'ed up I don't need to be reminded of it. Thank you

Her name is Ava Duvernay and you should interview her, Vlad. She is awesome and her work is amazing. Please interview her.

Eyes on a prize should have been in the theatre

@4:45 LMFAO 😂😂 “Atta Boy” 💀

I love Aries he straight old school no hold bar comedy we must protect Aries like bossie 😂🤣

Coming next spring “Fast & Furious 17: The Gang Goes To Mars”

I agree, I wish we also had more narratives that flipped the script ex. Django. We need them, but it's needs to be spaced out more.

😂😂lost it “their you go, attaboy” 😂

Idk why that “atta boy” made me feel good af 4:56 😂

I want Vlad to do one interview with Aries, D. L., Godfrey, Michael Jai White, and T. K all at once. Those are my favorites. I love them and I love hearing their opinions on what’s going on in the world. 😂

I'm tired of them personally. They've made some powerful slavery movies and documentaries already. At what point does Hollywood say enough with the black trauma movies?

Glad sit this one out man 🙄💯💯

Vlad is tripping. Aries is making a good point. When ppl outside the community think of black folks they think of slavery, music and athletics. Why not a movie on the making of street lights? And The Woman King was a false narrative. Only a small fraction of truth. All you guys wanna see is black men bleeding

Hey Vlad, this Chop again, Gotta say with Aries Speers, he dose bring up some great 👍🏾 points! Your interviews bring out the normal in him, That sometimes get overlooked Unfortunately by his shenanigans! Lol 😆

They don’t even want slavery in the history books. That’s something that is being fought for. I understand what Spears is saying, but the generations coming may not learn about those experiences at all. A movie might be the only time they’re educated with their past.

"Don't go to the computer Vlad" 🤣🤣

The recreation of slave movies is a taunt. Look what we did and you can’t do anything about it is the message

I know this nigga Vlad ain’t say Wakanda Forever was one of our stories💀💀💀

Vlad is so lost on this topic it’s insane. What Aries is saying is make movies about Benjamin Banneker, Booker T Washington , Madame Cj walker , George Washington carver even Mansa to name a few make those the popular stories .They love showing us going through some shit how about Show our accomplishments… Show how instrumental we were in creating our own society before slavery even Show our early work in science and mathematics …. No other race of ppl has their trauma popularized and shown to the extent of black people no one . We all saw Schindler’s List and typically thru school as an educational story not entertainment there is a difference and I would not expect a white man to know that .

Roots was not a real story it was propaganda

I'm 50 years old and I remember learning about Slavery and the slave trade in high school in the 80s.

My Mom made me watch Eyes on the Prize when I was 8. It changed me and shaped the man I am today. I'll be doing the same with my children,you don't always need a huge budget behind the films.

Get my dude Aries a fan in that joint, come on Vlad

Our stories need to be told. He said an important word "profit". I think that's where people have an issue with slave movies.

It was tucked under the rug for you Mr Vlad. In the households of other black households they knew

"That's Fiction"- Aries Spears...LOL.

Aries- I COULDNT AGREE MORE👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I want to see us as Kings & Queens, Black Wall Street & so much more👊🏾✊🏾👊🏾

He wants to check him so bad you can see it in face but he did snicker

Good job Aries. You kept on the point.

He needs to become a regular on the show glad!

No need to binge watch Enslavement movies. Enslavement should be in our collective consciousness permanently.

Long As It makes money they will do it

Don’t go to the computer 😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's so many great story lines of our history before slavery that have been blocked and continue to be blocked from seeing the big screen. And that is where the conversation should begin. For instance a movie about King Mansa Musa of the Mali Empire would be phenomenal for all cultures to see and learn about true history.

Aries was on point on this

I agree we tired of seeing the same story told we know what happened during slavery and civil rights we done seen and read and heard everything over and over show us sum good

Slavery By Another Name is another important movie Vlad should watch.

Lol when Vlad said Wakanda🤣🤣

“Tell the truth!” - Will Smith

Aries is right as usual

Zippidy doo dah was a DISNEY song😂😂😂

Eyes on the Prize is a high school classic!!!

I used to think like Vlad too about how we need these movies to remind white Americans their history as oppressors. But as I've gotten older like Aries I've started to realize it's one of the many things that hold us back as a nation and as black people. Movies that show black empowerment is a lot more beneficial for society in the long run.

Vlad has the comprehension level of a woman

This is a very specific story, about a very specific person. It's an untold story that needed to be told.

The Aries character from jerry McGuire is just Aries being himself. Damn

Aries definitely land his point at 4:15. Vlad legit got quiet and made excuses smh

Only if its historically accurate which most of the time they aren't

DID HE REALLY SAY WAKANDA LIKE IT WAS BASED ON A TRUE STORY 🤦🏾‍♂️ I CANT

That ‘Numbers’ movie was one of the 1st black success movies I ever viewed! Great movie.

I thought for sure Vlad was going to say Persuit of Happiness. A great movie based on fact and all about a black man finding success.

If they want to show black people as victims, I'd rather they show movies about the Tulsa massacre. That is more "current" and relevant to the reparations arguments (Basically what we saw from Watchmen). Slave movies are so far back in history, white people feel detached.

@ 4:11 C'Mon Vlad... a damn comic book movie?! 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

“I support black movies, I loved “Friday”! -vlad 😂

Mansa Musa movie well over due.

I like Aries. Keeps it real and pressure on VLAD. And The Moors of Spain movie would be AMAZING.

The last movie I watched about slavery was Django Unchained! Never wanted to see another one after that.

Absolutely....as a black man, I'm tiiirrreed of them making "slave movies". It feels like they make at least one a year. Initially it's informative, thoughtful, and engaging. After awhile, it becomes depressing.

It's not that they're just slave movies. They're stories of heroism and sacrifice . But I get why people are tired of them.

They should make a film on a new Tupac movie exposing diddy been envolved in the murder.

I watched Emancipation, it was really good and I learned about the slave from that viral photo

Lmao he that there we go…that a boy 😂😂😂

I wonder what a perfect world would look like through Aries Spears eyes, cause nothing seems to satisfy him.

For once Vlad has an EXCELLENT point!

“there we go. atta boy.” 😂

"Thats fiction." DEADDDDDDDDDDDD

The Butler was a hard watch

The women king was 🔥 🔥🔥🔥

Eddie Murphy made “Dolemite”, and prior to that time, few people remembered Rudy Ray Moore, or knew about his impact with regards to Blacksploitation/independent movies. Such Black-American artists deserve to be recognized by the public instead of Hollywood always resorting to making slavery movies or ones depicting Black-American suffering/trauma.

Not related to movies, but I want an RPG video-game about African folklore. That would be awesome. Africa is a rich continent culture and history wise and it’s time for people to but this on display.

12 years of Slave I've never watched it and I won't.

Slave movies are needed. History is important or things will get swept under the rug. That 'energy' is much of what fueled the greatness of African-American society

Devotion was about a black wingman during Korean War came out this year

I only have one rule in life, I can only 2:19 watch one slave movie a year, enough of these movies. Make a movie about Biddy Mason. Biddy Mason (August 15, 1818 - January 15, 1891) was an African-American nurse and a Californian real estate entrepreneur and philanthropist. Enslaved upon birth, she developed a variety of skills and developed knowledge of medicine, child care, and livestock care. A California court granted her and her daughters freedom in 1856.

I actually agree with Vlad on this one to some extent, plus the Character who this movie's about, (Peter) deserved to have his story heard, this was based on him and he has one of the most memorable and historic pics of himself with the whip markings on his back that have been all over the internet and in books for years. I think this movie at least deserved to be shared.

I can understand both points, but I agree more with Vlad. For starters, Eddie Murphy's "Dolamite Is My Name" is an excellent example of triumph over adversity ✊️ For anyone whose ever attempted a personal project, in this case, producing a film from scratch, you can relate. To that point, Aaries has lots of criticisms and points to make, but hasn't lifted a finger to MAKE the kinds of films that he feels are important. He could benefit from less whining, and more action💯 Jussayin 🤷‍♂️ I'm in the camp of simply make awesome films. We--the market--will decide which are worthy of our attention. With regard to true stories, I'd love to see the story of *Bacon's Rebellion* 🎬 While most Americans are well versed in the atrocities of slavery, many have no clue about the origins of the racial divide and the concept of "white people", and their being bestowed the power/privilege to 'police the other'. I find this far more fascinating *and* educational.

To all who read this have a WONDERFUL HEALTHY life and a HAPPY NEW YEAR may all your dreams come true in 23 and beyond. R.I.P. to all who have passed.

Don't go to the computer 🤣
