S2 E22 - Don't Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood | 30th Anniversary | Sup? Media Reviews Podcast

This week on Sup? Media Reviews, we're celebrating the 30th anniversary of Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood — the latest stop in our April Fools comedy anniversary series. The Wayans brothers took the hood films that defined early 90s Black cinema — Boyz n the Hood, Menace II Society, Juice, & more — and flipped them completely on their head. But does it still hold up 30 years later? We're getting into the cultural legacy of the Wayans family, why this film is unapologetically made for a specific audience, what that 80% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is really telling us, and whether this comedy classic is worth revisiting in 2026. 📝 Note: This episode was originally planned as a review of Girl 6 (1996) — but due to licensing issues surrounding Prince's estate, the film is virtually unavailable to stream in the US. We made the pivot and have zero regrets. 🎧 About Sup? Media Reviews 🎙️ Sup?
