#191 - Deep Cover (1992)
from Down To Watch Hosted by Dan & Raul
This week DtW is going Deep Cover on the incognito tip! Dan and Raul travel back in time but stay in the state of CA for a 90s crime drama with a famous theme song. Lawrence Fishburne, going by Larry back when Deep Cover came out in 1992, plays a cop who saw his stickup thief father shot down while criming and has devoted himself to the law. However, in this exaggerated 90s Los Angeles crack game, he's been assigned to put his morality aside and lean into the crazy characters and costumes of this sordid street parable. Does this count as a legit crime classic with an early gangsta rap feel or is it a mishmash of cultural curiosities from the time? Maybe these two hosts have both opinions!
