In this episode, we discuss the 1994 "hood" classic, Fresh. We start the episode by sharing opposing perspectives on the Westbrook trade to the Lakers and the impact building another "power" team has on youth and sports culture. We also touch on Simon Biles and the increasing need for athletes to honor their mental health regardless of the competition.

How far would you go to free someone you love? Do you have the skills to free yourself from terrible living conditions? With Fresh, we discuss the genius of a 12-year old boy who's able to pin adult men against each other all for the love of his sister and freedom. Being 90s babies made this movie all too real in seeing innocent children get murdered, men with weak egos lash out on anyone, and the impact Hip-Hop culture has on creating a generation of frauds, especially in children. But we also look at the ray of hope an outlet can provide. For Fresh, it was chess from his alcoholic Chess master father, driven by revenge, morals, and a glimpse of escaping the violent streets of Brooklyn.

Fresh is a 1994 American crime film that follows 12-year old Michael (aka Fresh), a drug courier navigating the violent and murderous streets of Brooklyn, NY. It stars Sean Nelson, Giancarlo Esposito, Samuel L. Jackson, N'Bushe Wright.
