Ep 6.05 - Dead Presidents

Kicking off February we are bringing you the Hughes Brothers' follow up to their debut 1993 hit Menace II Society, Dead Presidents (1995).
Perhaps overambitious, the film follows a circle of friends from the Bronx as the Vietnam War era impacts their lives and the various ways they try to cope or not. What it delivers in the way of stand out performances and a great soundtrack, it lacks in character dimension/motivation.
For better and worse, it feels like a very 90's look at the 70's.
