Independent Film Channel Interview


Most of the times when we see a pimp in the movie nowadays it is a parody of some sort, which is one of the things that makes this documentary interesting. The Hughes Brothers (Menace II Society and Dead Presidents) go out and talk to a variety of old and new school pimps across the United States. This is a colorful bunch of characters and they have some absolutely hilarious stories, but they are a little scary at times also. It isn't a great documentary, but it definitely worth at least one viewing. Throw it into you Netflix bin and be prepared for a wild ride.

Picture quality is pretty bad. At times I couldn't tell if it was the original 16mm film stock or a bad transfer. It is annoying at times but the graininess of the picture definitely fits with the subject matter. Sound quality is fine.

The 25 minutes interview with the Hughes Brothers is a solid edition. I paid $7.99 for the disc so I was not expecting a whole lot.
