About this episode
The hosts and guests discuss the themes and characters of the film City of God, along with personal reflections and insights.
Eric, Jeff, Styles, Sheek and Jadakiss got together in Yonkers to break down City of God, the 2002 Portuguese-language epic crime film directed by Fernando Meirelles and co-directed by Kátia Lund. We discussed the "crabs in a barrel" theory, what's beautiful about the slums, when we all turned into adults, whether children who sign up for a job have to live by the same rules as adults, who's to blame for Lil Ze turning into the man he becomes, why Knockout Ned doesn't go out on his own, what Benny's biggest mistake was and much, much more!!!
