On this episode of The Wright Perspective Podcast, siblings Aubrey, Genia and Brittany recap and review Dead Presidents, a 1995 crime film, co-written, produced and directed by the Hughes Brothers, and starring Larenz Tate, Keith David, Chris Tucker, N'Bushe Wright, Freddy Rodriguez, and Bokeem Woodbine.
After dissecting some of the 1995 film reviews (04:05), the siblings pick a voting symbol (15:47), and then dig into important historical context for the film, especially the impact of the Vietnam war on Black Americans (23:30). Next they recap the movie (28:01), discuss the story (34:05), and spend focused time unpacking the Anthony character and the masterful performance by Larenze Tate (01:01:03) which depicted the experience of Black military men during and after the Vietnam War (01:08:19). The episode wraps with a discussion of the larger cast of characters and acting performances (01:17:32), the cinematography (01:23:42), music (01:29:13) and the vote to determine whether Dead Presidents is a classic from the Wright Perspective (01:35:55).
