Join us in this fresh episode of Saturday Night Popcorn as we dive into the vibrant and chaotic world of “Dope,” the 2015 coming-of-age comedy-drama that captures the essence of '90s hip-hop culture through the eyes of a geeky high school trio.
We’ll explore how director Rick Famuyiwa blends humor, social commentary, and a starmaking performance from Shameik Moore to deliver a film that’s as smart as it is insightful. From the streets of Inglewood to the halls of Harvard, follow Malcolm and his friends on a wild journey that challenges their aspirations and survival instincts.
Tune in for a lively discussion on the film’s themes, standout moments, and its unique take on the quest for identity in a digital age.
*Spoiler Warning* As a general warning we discuss the film in detail and often will comment on scenes or aspects of the film that could spoil it for a listener who has not seen the film we are discussing.
