I Watched This As An Adult - Romeo Must Die with Mickell Ford (#DRDS Ep. 96)

We are ramping up production and this week we have another episode. This week we are importing a podcast from another feed. I recently did an away game with the homey Mickell Ford on his Podcast I Watched This As An Adult. It’s a podcast that takes on the duties of watching movies from the past that you were probably fond of but with a fresh set of eyes and cinematic standards. In this particular episode, we review ‘Romeo Must Die’ staring Aaliyah, Jet Li and somehow DMX makes it on the poster as well. It had been at least 15 years since I had watched the movie. I thought I was going to be thrilled to get nostalgic about my days but in fact, when we break down the film, we discussed some of the problematic things in the film that was much more prevalent in 2000. This also gave me an excuse to bust out my DMX impression. I didn’t love it as much as I wanted to but I was completely captivated by Aaliyah’s performance. If you are a fan of hers it’s a must-watch but everyone else could probably live without it. Thanks for listening!
