Would The Wood (1999) resonate with audiences if it was released today? On this episode of The Wright Perspective podcast, siblings Aubrey, Genia and Brittany discuss this question and more as they review this comedy drama film written by Rick Famuyiwa and Todd Boyd, directed by Rick Famuyiwa and starring Omar Epps, Richard T. Jones and Taye Diggs.
After debating whether this film is appropriate for a guys night out (02:20), the Wrights pick a voting symbol (06:47), do a recap (14:40) and then Brittany shares some wisdom for the ages (26:40). While discussing the storytelling and direction, the siblings ponder why this moving felt so refreshing at the the time of it’s release (28:39), and reflect on the soundtrack (58:55), evolving standards related to sexual autonomy (37:00 and 01:10:26), and Hollywood’s underrepresentation of the Black middle class (01:23:55). The episode wraps with a discussion of the cast and their acting performances (01:26:56) followed by a vote to determine whether this movie is a classic from The Wright Perspective (01:35:32).
