About this episode
While continuing to focus on the influence of THE GODFATHER for this themed week, I dive into the GHETTO DAWG hood action dramas from the '00s:
*What filmmakers today are the best at using limited resources and not overcomplicating their plots now that all filmmaking is digital?
*How do these films make their material bigger than it actually is?
*How does it handle various subplots while avoiding confusion or one plot twist too many?
*Will they appeal to B-movie fans of '90s Hood flicks, underground fighting films and drive-in revenge movies or are they just a fad nowadays?
