OAMR: Friday After Next

·29 min·1 clip
Day Day says evangelical women are “hiding behind Jesus to sell pussy.”
1. Old Ass Movie Reviews Podcast reviews Friday After Next, the 2002 third Friday movie written by Ice Cube. 2. Dave and Scott host the episode, and their back-and-forth shapes the movie discussion and the casting comparisons. 3. The episode asks whether Friday After Next works as a Christmas comedy and a sequel after Friday and Next Friday. 4. Craig and Day Day have no rent money, so their dads land them security-guard jobs at a terrible strip mall. 5. The movie opens with Santa robbing them, and the hosts say that setup sends the story into chaos early. 6. Mike Epps replaces Chris Tucker as Day Day, and Dave calls that change funny but very different. 7. The hosts say Day Day is strongest in the first half and becomes more intense by the end of the film. 8. Cat Williams plays Money Mike, the small-time pimp shop owner, and both hosts praise his comic timing. 9. Terry Crews plays Damon, the landlord’s son who has just gotten out of prison and scares Craig and Day Day. 10. The hosts note a flashback or fear-moment that makes Damon look especially dangerous to them. 11. One of the episode’s main jokes is Day Day insulting evangelical women by saying they are “hiding behind Jesus to sell pussy.” 12. Another standout bit is the strip mall rooftop sequence, where Craig and Day Day cannot get down the normal way. 13. They jump onto the strip mall owner’s Mercedes, and the hosts call the owner an asshole who deserves the damage. 14. The strip mall itself is described as horrible, with fly-covered Holy Moley Donuts and a shop owner named Moley. 15. The hosts remember the barbecue-joint commercial with John Witherspoon, Craig’s dad, and the line “It’ll make you slap your mama.” 16. Dave points out that the slap leaves a purple handprint and later a concussion, which turns the joke into a physical running gag. 17. The tone is loose, fast, and reactive, with Dave and Scott constantly interrupting themselves to remember scenes and cast names. 18. Their style mixes plot recap with side comments about Cat Williams, Terry Crews, Ice Cube, and the movie’s repeated jokes. 19. Listeners who like Friday quotes, holiday comedies, and cast talk will get the most out of this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a serious film analysis or a spoiler-free minimal recap may skip it.
