Boyz In The Hood

You guys. YOU GUYS. If there’s one movie that’s been tragically, conspicuously missing from every streamer’s library—until now— it’s the LA-set 90’s masterpiece, BOYZ N THE HOOD. I can get into the obvious reasons why this remains one of the smartest and most timeless films e-v-e-r but I’d rather dare you, reader, to name a movie starring more famous people who were all unknowns at the time. You can’t. So, when you’re done binging THE QUEEN’S GAMBIT (as our founder Erik Feig did in one weekend), I highly recommend staying on Netflix to check out John Singleton’s feature directorial debut. It’ll treat you to a baby-faced cast that includes Ice Cube, Cuba Gooding Jr., Laurence Fisburne, Morris Chestnut, Angela Bassett, Nia Long, and even a cameo from Singleton himself. You’re welcome in advance.
