SOUL MAN - BAD MOVIE ROAST | Double Toasted 

I've seen a lot of wild sh!t, but seeing PonyBoy cosplaying as M. Night Shyamalan is one of the wildest things I had seen.

Bad Movie Reviews are what make this channel phenomenal, I love Korey, Martin, and Billy, they are the trinity that are unbeatable.

More realistically, the guy could have just sold a ton of coke to his classmates, it was Harvard in the 80s after all. Could have bought a house right next to his daddy after graduation too.

Johnny Cade: "Stay gold, Ponyboy!" Ponyboy:

So rachel dolezal saw this film and thought "hmmm..... I can do that" 😁😁😁😁😁

Soul Man would go on to revert back to being white, move to New York City, become a crane operator, and help Spider-Man get through the city so he could stop the Lizard.

I brought this movie up with a 25yo that I work with and he said it doesn't look any worse than RDJ in Tropic Thunder. I tried to explain the difference but he felt I was just making excuses for one over the other.

"Hey, Mark, have you tried working for a liv-" "NOPE! Where's the makeup?"

Looks like Tilda Swinton cosplaying Bruno Mars

Mark was a villain. Even seeing it at the theater in my early teens I remember watching and hoping to see him get caught and suffer consequences, but being disappointed that he got off so easily.

31:57: "Well shit, that's just you Billy". God Damn....I laughed so hard, I started choking.

He looked like Michael as a zombie from Thriller

"Give them a victim they care about" That's some deep shit man.

I remember even as a kid in the 80s thinking this was messed up😂😂😂

Well this is a first: not starting off a bad movie review with Billy and/or Martin laughing their butts off

This movie came out when I was a teen. I watched it as an adult. As a white person, the "comedy" of the stereotypes were stupid to me. It did put forth a very important message of empathy and walking in someone else's shoes. These are the most profound points I got out of this movie: 1- He listened to racial jokes by idiots, and started to be affected by them--to the point of punching one of the idiots telling offensive jokes in the face--yes!! 2- When he got pulled over by the police, he thought it was no big deal until he ended up in jail--for nothing--which is what black people have been telling us forever---literally!!! 3- James Earl Jones says he felt dude learned more from this experience than any class could teach him--dude acknowledges--he couldn't touch the real Black American experience. Why? Because he could get out of his "black" skin. That was incredibly profound. 4- He was super scared of losing Rae Dawn Chong cuz he wasn't sure if she forgave him-or if she could love him. To me, this movie taught me a lot about paying attention to the little micro-aggresions that Black people experience--and have talked about forever.

Oh no not this. Just watch The Hitcher instead. C. Thomas Howell is great in it.

Hollywood shuffle succeeded where this tripe failed. Just because your intentions are good doesn't mean your execution's gonna be flawless. Heck Gene wilder did a better job in 4 minutes than this movie did in an hour and 45

C. Thomas Howell and Rea Dawn Chong were married in real life and they both hated this movie down through the years

It took years for C. Thomas Howell to recover from this disaster. He was pretty great in "Gettysburg" though.

This must have been the inspiration for Rachel Dolezal.James Earl Jones went from Roots to this.

In my head canon, The Hitcher takes place after the events of Soul Man... and Howell is trying to escape the shame of that incident...kinda makes Rutger Hauers character a lot more sympathetic.

So, we couldn't get cable when I was a kid, living in the woods lol...so we'd just buy a bunch of movies....I remember my dad coming home with THIS gem, and I was watching it like..."Umm, is this okay? Can he do this?" ...The answer was no lol

Oh shit, y’all doing a full review of this. Let me spark up this blunt and get started😂😂

Fun Fact: C. Thomas Howell was briefly married to Rae Dawn Chong.

“A Harvard Law graduate has power.” To me, this will always be the movie where Darth Vader endorses the Ivy League.

C. Thomas is in "ET," but not as the big brother. That dude's named Robert Naughton or something like that. C. Thomas plays one of his friends, who's in the big bike scene.

I paint cars my job is very stressful perfection is key and in demand . Double toasted keeps me in a good mood while I work all day long

I can’t wait for this one it’s gonna make Billy crack up for real 🤣

Surviving the Hitcher made Howell lose his mind. Jesus

I remember watching this movie when it came out. I don't remember this movie being a bad movie. I actually remember thinking the movie was good. I was in elementary school at the time so I wasn't thinking "omg, this is racist." 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

To be fair they didn't really get away with it even at the time everyone hated this movie even in the 80s lol.

Should’ve waited til Martin came back. I would’ve love hear his input 😂😂

I remember seeing this as a kid and my parents telling me that C. Thomas Howell and rae dawn chong were actually married in real life, but they had divorced.

I love these bad movie roasts

Ruined many careers. Justice for rae dawn chong 🤣🤣. even for the 80's this was wild....

This guy looks like an Aardman Animation character rather than black.

I used to feel for C. Thomas Howell, because I know that He took a MASSIVE HIT for doing this, but then again, He made the choice to take the Role. He likely needed it, but it didn't help Him at all. Well, at least they wound up making that one Movie in the 90's Livin Large, where T.C. Carson kinda did it in reverse. Kinda did it in reverse.

27:58 OK, I was born in the early 70s, and 'I never had anyone, white or black, tell me to 'get down'. I think Howell's performance would be better explained if he was an alien trying to blend in, whose only knowledge of Earth culture came from intercepted broadcasts of early television and radio programs.

I always found it ridiculous how everyone assumed he was black when he clearly looked like a white guy with a tan.

C. Thomas Howell: From Ponyboy to blackface

This movie is basically the sophisticated version of The Pest

2:36 it dosent help that they made the blackface convincing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀

We should get that guy to be T’Challa in Black Panther 2.

I remember Spike Lee was very pissed off about this movie back in the day.

Oh God that thumbnail got me cracking up already 😂😂

Why, C Thomas Howell, you were SO much better than this! From The Outsiders to this disaster. At least it was seen as offensive in 1986!

The 80s was the decade where nobody Truly gave a Fuck 😂

I saw this in the theatre and was entertained. This era had many controversial comedy. There are clear anti-racist messages in this film which shouldn’t be swept aside despite its questionable humor.

I remember this movie. I was confused as to why he had blackface (keep in mind I was 3 then plus my mom watched shit ton of movies too). Once I saw this again when I was a little older (in my teens then). I was like oh hell naw.🤣🤣🤣

The film that effectively killed C. Thomas Howell's career! Although, he did get to met his first wife - Rae Dawn Chong on this film. It also has an early appearance of Julia Louis-Dreyfus(Elaine from Seinfeld). Ayre Goss plays the wise cracking friend "Gordo"(he later went on to work with Spielberg in Minority Report). Max Wright(Will Tanner from the TV series ALF) plays the psychiatrist. James B. Sikking(Star Trek 3 and Hill Street Blues)plays the main character's dad. Leslie Nielsen plays the racist landlord and father of one of the girlfriend's that the main character is involved with. Amy Stoch-Poyton(Dallas) has brief cameo in the beginning. There's also "Jan from TV's The Office" aka Melora Hardin looking very beautiful as the Radcliffe student that the main character gets involved with, and has rather special views on interracial relationships. I think it's only been shown on British TV twice(once in late night 1993 on BBC 1 - as I remember watching it then). Funny that it has never been repeated. I think it was recently on Amazon Prime in the UK.

You guys gotta do White Man’s Burden. Travolta was so jive ass in the flick, lol!!! >_

Tyler Perry should ABSOLUTELY remake this movie. Put Timberlake in the lead role. That's 💰 💰 💰.

Even my 6 year old self was like "Da fuq!? Why???" when I saw a trailer for this movie. Still haven't seen the full movie to this day.

6:06 Acshualee he didn't play the big brother either, he played one of the big brother's friends in E.T. He was really known for The Outsiders and Red Dawn.

When Kory and Billy get together they are hilarious 😆

I saw this movie because of your channel, and I must say it is NOT that bad. In fact I like it. I love when he showed up to the Harvard black lawyers associations.

Sad to say this was one of my favorite movies growing up. I felt Howell was goofy and couldn’t wait to see him maneuver through the situation. I also like Rae dawn and James earl part. The fantasy’s are hilarious and the jive talk. Pimp scene was my favorite. I also liked that he was held accountable at the end. But now that I’m older, been through life and see who the writers were it kind of changes things for me. But at the end of the day I’m glad it was made.

That "WHITE WOMEN" line has to be used as a subscriber notification

OMG!! C Thomas Howell thought he was quite handsome. This movie was my childhood. In New York this movie use to come on just about every Saturday or Sunday on channel 11. The 80’s 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Jesus, you can't START a video like that! I cringed so hard at the scene, I think I hurt something.

Someone was supposed to be in this movie but Howard the Duck went over schedule - thank God for Howard the Duck saving Tim Robbins.

they thought they were doing a service, but this was extremely miscalculated

God I need therapy just from the thumbnail.....

23:41 The book BLACK LIKE ME written by John Howard Griffin was the account of the white author darkening his skin using the anti-vitiligo drug methoxsalem then travelling through the South as a black man. This occured in 1959 and the book was released in 1961.

When Billy said Nancy Reagan was the type of people that would think this was liberal is so true. Shit even Elizabeth Warren said she was part Cherokee on all her college applications lol This shit is hilarious

One of those rare occasions where instead of roasting the movie korey scolds it

White chicks, Martin, Eddie, and the racial draft made me feel better about this movie 😁🙏🏾.

The fake white black guy kinda look like Michael Jackson too lol 😆😎😅🤣😂😎

There is such a suspension of disbelief to think people wouldn't be able to tell he isn't black

wait till they hear about Sneakerella lol

Damn, I've never wanted to see this movie, but I had always assumed it was some kinda Freaky Friday type thing. Where he was actually changed into a black person, so he can, "learn a lesson..." But this was just straight blackface the movie.

Hard to believe this is the same guy who went on to voice the Reverse Flash

I’m glad I brought this movie to their attention, this is prob the third or fourth time they’ve talked about this movie.

the screenwriter of this movie went on to co-create the wonder years

42:17 I gotta correct Billy: Vanity was also getting roles around that time so that's TWO black actors in Hollywood getting consistent romantic roles

Rae-Dawn Chong was the only woman of color in the 80s working steadily…Billy’s right

C.Thomas Howell did not play the older brother In E.T. He played a small role, he was one of the older brothers friends who helped Elliot and E.T. escape at the end

Howell looks like a really bad knock off Chris Rock 😂

I remember this movie came on TV when I was a kid, and my Dad could not stop laughing

The Hitcher and Soul Man in the same year..both starring C Thomas Howell

C. Thomas Howell wasn't the older brother in E.T. Robert MacNaughton was Michael in E.T. He was just one of his friends.

WOOOOOOW I so didn't think we was gonna get this. Now all I need is. The Last Dragon and Big Trouble and Little China!

The more bad movies they review, this channel is becoming the best successful channel period. Keep it coming, man.

LMAO @ "this is back in the day, when if you were a landlord, you were required to wear a hat and smoke a cigar."

I saw this movie on VHS when I was a teenager. And I had never even thought about blackface. So years later, I was reminded of this movie and felt weird about it after that.

damn, maybe they SHOULD have named this movie ET: the extra transracial that shit killed me 😂💀

Here's a Fun Fact: The role of Mark Watson (the main character who dons blackface) was originally offered to Tim Robbins, who turned the role down to act in "Howard the Duck" instead. So Tim Robbins turned down one bad film to act in another one, and his movie career only got better. C. Thomas Howell's movie career, on the other hand, never recovered after "Soul Man".

did hitchhiker(starring him & Rutger Hauer) come before or after this? nevertheless, Howell's career never recovered from this..

Dan Akroyd, Tracy Ullman, both Cheech and Chong all wore Blackface .Trading Places, Cheech and Chong Still Smoking, The Tracy Ullman Show

I want them to do a bad movie roast of the movie Leonard part 6

Been waiting a long time for y'all to roast this one lol, although it would have been nice to hear Martin's thoughts on this. Nevertheless, 40:30-41:13 you guys are on point and brought up some stuff that I and I'm sure others have been talking about for a while. One, Hollywood seems more comfortable emasculating or reducing black and colored men to being the asexual sidekicks or supportive best friends so that we don't take away from the main lead (who presumably will be a white male) in a big major movie. Second, Hollywood also seems more bold putting black men with white men in a gay relationship, but not so bold to put black men with white women in mainstream movies; in fact it seems like we have much more bold interracial representation with gay pairings in media than we do with straight pairings sometimes. In any case, television and online shows/films are a bit better with these representations, but these trends and tropes need to continue to be called out both in and out of the industry so that we can start to see some more real change.

I guess the whole 'imposter comedy' has been a thing for a long time, although this may be the most unfortunate one of all! In the 80s besides Tootsie, there was also Just One of the Guys, where a girl joins the HS football team as a boy. In the 90s you had Mrs, Doubtfire. Back to the 70s, Bosom Buddies had Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari in drag to get a cheap room in a girls-only apartment. Three's Company did a similar thing, with John Ritter pretending to be gay so that the conservative landlord would let him cohabitate (assumed platonically) with two young women. Then you can go all the way back to Some Like It Hot, with Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis pretending to be women to escape the mob. Of course that probably inspired Nuns on the Run, which then inspired Sister Act. The oldest one I can think of is probably Scaramouche, a 50s film based on a 20s novel, where a man wanted for murder becomes a clown to hide in the circus. Sorry, I probably took this too far....! But if there's any other imposter comedies (good or bad) y'all can think of, drop them here!

Glad to see how much genuine laughter you're getting out of discussing this movie. I saw it when I was around 8, too young to really know what was wrong with it, and I saw it as just another "person pretends to be something they're not" comedy like Tootsie or Just One Of The Guys. It's not good, but given the time period it could easily have been a magical race swap, ala Big or Vice Versa, and that would only have been more awkward.

This character reminds me of a friend of mine Damien Chazelle, (director of Whiplash) who is also from Harvard. He would never act like this, ever, but he looks like him.

Lol I had no idea this movie was THIS rough.

Forget Blazing Saddles, THIS is the movie you could never make again!

DT, you guys have to do a Bad Movie Review/Roast of M. Night Shyamalan's Lady In The Water (2006). This video might be just as epic as your Foodfight! video. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The Happening ain't got nothing on Lady In The Water.

I remember this travesty from an episode of VH1’s I Love the 80’s. Still can’t believe it was made.

Fun fact: Carol Black would then go on to co-create both The Wonder Years AND Ellen with her husband.
