    The most unbelievable thing in this movie was how Clifton still never learned how to play Spades. I was like, “Damn, dude. Four years of prison wasted.” 😂 I died when Clifton straightened out the gun while Nnamdi was shooting. This was great.

The joke is that Black people are very serious about Spades and reneging is one of the cardinal sins in the Black community. If you've been to Black cookouts and events where people were playing Spades, then you're going to get a kick out of Clifton doing all of this over a Spades game. I

    • @pacjam3000
      @pacjam3000 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      They were not actually speaking telepathically. Black folk have a way of communicating with each other through looks and facial expressions without actually speaking in certain situations/environments. The movie was providing insight/examples on what those looks and facial expressions mean when they do happen between people. It happens everyday in real life. It’s like saying wassup/hello to someone just by nodding your head. Or “communicating” to your friend with just a look that someone nearby is “crazy”. Joseph usually does it to the camera while Nick is speaking during some of the movie reviews. lol. Also, the scene where Nnamdi & Dewayne were “overheard” communicating telepathically the plan to attack meant that their looks/facial expressions to each other was also seen and understood by their assailant thereby stopping the plan.
