Way to go Korey 🙏🏾 Robert Townsend is an legend 🔥
Robert Townsend is someone who could've taken a divergent path and maybe been a 'bigger' star, but stayed true to his own vision and did something just as important...he blazed a trail for others to follow. Living legend in my estimation. This was a wonderful interview.
Can't forget The Five HeartBeats!! Classic Hands Down
One of my favorite movies of all time!!
Nothing beats the talent show scene where he kicks the guy off the piano!
Absolutely!👏🏾👏🏾💜💜💜💜💜
Hands down
Such an underrated, legendary director
Wow!! The legend Robert Townsend. The Five Heartbeats and B.A.P.S are my favorite movies. Quote them to this day ❤️❤️❤️
This guy has done so much in his career!
Halliday Heart was a great, heartfelt film. I'm glad Robert Townsend is getting the recognition he deserves. This interview could've really been 2 hours long he's achieved so much
What's Halliday Heart?
@Ray Valdez Photography it's a TV movie starring Ving Rhames as a drag queen who is friends with a drug addict and her daughter. I can't recall if it's spelled "Halliday" like the last name, or "Holiday" like the noun/verb.
First Uncle Ruckus now Mr Hollywood Shuffle himself. You exmplify Black Excellence, Mr. Coleman!!!!!
Ong! I love these interviews with successful black people outside music
AmericanFiction brought me here.
*His Partners In Crime* is horribly underrated! I want THAT on Blu Ray!!
B.A.P.S is an underrated classic.
These interviews should be on the main channel. I think a lot of people who love watching DT don't even know this exists
Robert Townsend is that dude! That Jerri Curl scene in Hollywood was hilarious! And I love The Five Heartbeats. Classic movie.
Fantastic interview. Townsend is a black legend ("Partners in Crime" on HBO). Underrated today. Thanks for giving him his roses.
Damn we gotta bring Martin in for some of these interviews, especially with legends like this.
That would be great, but Martin has a day job and most of these interviews take place in the morning/early afternoon.
@Double Toasted Interviews Figured as much, but if one could work out that would be awesome
Hollywood shuffle and the five heartbeats and so many other things of Robert Townsend had a hand in is incredible.
Meteor Man also.
There would be no modern black Hollywood without Townsend......he's goated!!!
Real talk, Friday came from Hollywood Shuffle
He's really one of the Unsung dudes of Black Hollywood
Glad you did this Interview. I was apart of Robert Townsend's youth film crew when he was in Miami Florida back in 2012 putting together his movie titled "Playing For Love" (2013). And in conjunction to that project around that time, Robert also did a unreleased Documentary called "Believe" which was about the lives of kids & teens growing up in Miami Dade County South Florida (Which I'm in the Documentary as well).
A M A Z I N G. Congrats to the whole DT crew
Meteor man himself! 🤩 childhood coming back through this interview
Great interview! Hollywood Shuffle was such an amazing movie. It was funny but had an actual meaningful message.
Kenan was hilarious as Jerry Curl 😂
Paul Mooney as the NAACP member was classic. The sellout dude n the interview was funny 2!!!!
CURL! CURL! DON'T STOP, ROCK IT! DO THE JHERI CURL!
Robert Townsend will always be a legend. He paved the way for black artist like myself and others. I saw Hollywood Shuffle at 6 years old and never forgot it. Sneakin' in the movies had such an impression on me. We can be black critics too.
Robert Townsend is an ICON. From Partners in Crime to Meteor Man & The Five Heartbeats this man is a GEM! Inspirational Hollywood Shuffle is in my Top 5
Never knew Rob Townsend did 'Carmen'.
This is another one for the culture. Appreciate it, DT.
Definitely one of the all time greats 💥💥💥
This interview just swarm my heart, Korey. Townsend is golden, that vibe of his just radiates out! Thank you both for such a great, genuine interview! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🦇🦇🦇💜
Seeing Double Toasted grow from where it started is just amazing. The team got the mother lovin Meteor Man. Big up from West Ldn.
MR.TOWNSEND!!!!!🔥❤️🥰 A LIVING LEGEND!
This why I like Korey's interviews. He ain't ask about The Five Heartbeats or The Parent 'Hood. He ain't seen BAPS. But Korey somehow seen Ratboy. 😆
The parenthood should have been brought up
Robert Townsend is one of my favorites. He is a Chicagoan like me and he is definitely inspiring
man, what a blessing/honor it must be to meet and speak with THE Robert Townsend!!!! lowkey was hoping you threw in Meteor Man but you talked about the more iconic movies that help shape Hollywood for us. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Someone should make a movie about the making of Hollywood shuffle
His Partners iN Crime HBO specials were very important to me growing up - great man!
Robert Townsend is truly awsome. He really did leave a mark and change the ways certain things were done in movies. I will say i am very disappointed that you didn't talk about Meteor Man. I know some people don't like it. I love it. But it deserves recognition. And it's definitely better than some superhero movies we've seen in recent years. Either way, great interview.
Hollywood Shuffle was the single most difficult VHS to rent in the 80s for me because every time I'd try to rent it it would always be out or on reserve, literally it took months for me to finally see it.
OMG! For the longest time I’ve wanted you guys to review Hollywood Shuffle and now I get to watch an interview with the talented and most definitely underrated star Robert Townsend. Thank you DT 🙏🏾
I love Robert Townsend, this man is such a positive influence on my life, thanks for giving us this interview Mr. Coleman.
LEGENDARY Mr Townsend ⭐⭐😎⭐⭐
Great interview. Robert Townsend is aging very well. He looks really good.
WooHoo. Meteor Man was my Jam when I was a kid.
OMG Carmen.
"We grew up together,
cut school together,
and when we have kids
we'll go thru terrible Two's together.
Then one night we're watching the news together,
cop found slain, that pain last forever. "
I’m a Mexican. That movie Hollywood Shuffle was a good classic and it actually made me rethink about how Hollywood portrayed black people in movies. This movie was soooo funny and very deep. 👏
So we all just forgot about Up Up & Away
Never!
Legendary interview. Hollywood Shuffle should be compulsory watching
Robert Townsend looks fabulous!
Jackie’s Back is one of my absolute favorite movies.
GreatnINTERVIEW!! cried at your continued indever of movie success!!
I've always loved Robert Townsend. Kinda disappointed there was no Meteor Man questions tho, but great interview
I'm assuming it's because they did a bad movie roast about Meteor Man & Korey didn't want to bring up a movie his channel shit on?
I always remembered Robert from show Parent hood. That show was highly underrated.ill definitely check out this movie tho!
Just re-watched The Parenthood last month. Always been a fan of Robert Townsend.
i was the kid in the principals office in meteor man! robert was a legend! very kind to a young kid all while directing and performing!
Thank you for doing this! One of my comedy favorites for so many different reasons. 📽
What a great interview. I would love to see his films rebooted. Interview this man again!! I need a Five Heartbeats deep dive.
Robert is a legend….nuff saiid
Never saw your channel before (I am white….very white)…but I love Robert Townsend, so found it. This is a great channel! Glad I found your great interviews. “I had dignity in 60 seconds…” is one of the greatest quotes ever, and you got it! And Robert Townsend is a genius.
Great Interview. This video should have way more views. SMH
I just shared this on my community tab I dropped my video essay talking about the impact of this movie I would love to be on the show some time being a guest of DT for a few years at this point
Loved watching Hollywood Shuffle on HBO while I was a kid in the 80's as well as all the Partners in Crime comedy specials. Robert Townsend had an impact on my personal sense of sense to this day. Glad to see him again!
Hollywood Shuffle, Batty Batty Batty. Meteor Man, The Five Heartbeats and more just a Legend
Korey interviewing his long lost uncle of film, I remember watching partners in crime on a TV VHS back in the day....
I remember you, Austin access. Every weds or Thursday. After the set y'all met at Waterloo.
Okay, this is cool. Thank you for bringing him on to speak.
Wow this man literally did work with everyone
Y’all are killing it with these interviews.
He always been one of my fav directors
The Legend!!!!
Rob kinda remind me of Oz🤣
This is really cool tho. Robert Townsend was a big part of my childhood. I grew up watching B.A.Ps and the parenthood and stuff so this is cool.
LEGEND!! 🔥🔥
Great interview. One of my favorite directors of all time.
Robert Townsend..Wow..Much Respect..I've HOLLYWOOD SHUFFLE so many times.. HILARIOUS..so many quotes from that film..Here's one "WHAT WE"RE LOOKIN FOR IS AN EDDIE MURPHY TYPE..WE WANT THE ACTOR TO SPEAK AND DRESS LIKE HIM, HAVE A MURPHYEPY, BE MURPHYESCE.."LOL
I wish they could talked about THE FIVE HEARTBEATS..Another classic I've seen so many times.

Great interview, I'm impressed. Robert Townsend is really a national treasure of the arts. He brought in so many black talents.
I watched this movie every week I live Robert
Another great interview
Happy for you on this one Korey. This is a BIG deal but also well deserved.
I don’t know any film critics I check for nowadays past DT. I hope more greats show up for interviews l.
Thank you so much!
Robert was so cold, the stuff he came up
Congrats,Korey on getting an interview with the GREAT Robert Townsend,a living legend.
What an awesome interview! I enjoyed it very much. & might I add both my brothers look good!! No aging round here
The legend himself
Whoa! Let me see if they ask him about THE PARENT 'HOOD.
OMG NO WAY!!!
You have to have Mr. Townsend come back for Martin to also co-interview and I'm shocked that you didn't touch on his contribution to black Superheroes in films and how Hollywood has become superhero heavy these days. Please do another interview 🙏🏿
My ex Mother in Law stole my DVD of Hollywood shuffle to buy drugs with a few years ago, so I ordered that Criterion Blu Ray as SOON as they said it
Excuse me? WHAT?!
@@doubletoastedinterviews5413 the broad got me for a BUNCH of DVDs, this was one of them :( This interview just sold a blue-ray
😂
He is a legend. I grew up watching his stuff. I also used to watch his partners in crime specials which were hilarious
Thank you for that interview Corey. It was a pleasure to watch.
This was fantastic. Really enjoyed this one.
Biz was also in MetorMan in the dope house
Nice man, fantastic interview
Great interview, genuine, informative, & fun! ❤️
So awesome 👌 Great interview 👏
Great interview! Very impressive 👏🏽
No mention of The Meteor Man? That was the first black superhero film I ever saw! It predated Blade, Spawn, Blank-Man, Steel, Catwoman, Hancock, and of course Black Panther.
This is awesome
Thank you for Meteor Man
Good interview
ayyyyy this is big!!! salute to yall for getting an interview with the legend Mr. Townsend
Legend bra
Robert Townsend's classic (HBO) tv specials, "Partners in Crime," were great !!!! Monkey Hustle: Robert with Yaphet (Kotto) and Dolemite (Rudy Ray Moore) - a classic "Welcome Back, Kotter" catchphrase (done by Vinnie Barbarino (aka John Travolta). B.A.P.S.: Halle Berry, Natalie Desselle, Martin Landau & the great Rudy Ray Moore. Gawd Damn it: I still haven't seen "Rat Boy !" :)
WOW SUPER FIRE
Very cool!
THE robert townsend?! 😮 ❤❤
I need to see Korey interview Reginald Hudlin. Mr. King, make it happen.
