Join hosts Kareem, Ken, and Pat each week, bi-weekly or whenever there is an episode to be had. We're looking to traverse comics, pop culture, current events, movies, tv shows, and even other podcasts while attempting not to go off on too many tangents. Our goal is to examine the annoyingly nuanced grey matter in-between-the-lines in serialized episodes, so sit back, pick a pod and try to stay focused.

ON THE DL EP.1 - Pick Yourself Up and Try Again - A review of Romeo Must Die

Episode Description: In this episode, we're diving deep into the life and career of the incomparable Delroy Lindo—an actor whose mere presence can elevate any scene to cinematic gold. We're specifically shining a spotlight on his role in the martial arts action flick Romeo Must Die. As always, expect our signature blend of wit, insightful analysis, and a few delightful tangents. What We Covered: Delroy Lindo: A Living Legend: From his roots in theater to his standout performances in films like Malcolm X and Da 5 Bloods, Delroy's journey to Hollywood royalty is nothing short of inspiring. Fun Fact: Did you know Delroy’s first love was the stage? That's right—before he was breaking hearts on the big screen, he was breaking legs (not literally) in Shakespearean dramas. Romeo Must Die: We take a closer look at Delroy’s role as Isaak O'Day, the crime lord with a soft spot for family—and some seriously intense face-offs. Our thoughts on the film's unique (read: incredibly loose) interpretation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Spoiler alert: The tragedy got a kung-fu upgrade. The Tangents: Romeo & Juliet – The Reimaginations: We couldn’t resist diving into the myriad adaptations of this classic tale. From Leonardo DiCaprio’s brooding to kung-fu battles, we dissect the good, the bad, and the downright bizarre. NFL: The Modern Mafia? We went there. Drawing parallels between Isaak O'Day's gangland dealings and the cutthroat world of the NFL. Did you know some NFL teams have more drama than a Shakespearean play? Anthony Anderson’s Numbskullery: Anthony Anderson may play a small role in Romeo Must Die, but his antics left a big impression. We reminisce about his goofy charm and laugh-out-loud moments that provided a light-hearted counterpoint to the film's intense action. Tune in for a lively discussion full of laughs, deep dives, and unexpected turns—just like Delroy Lindo's career itself.
