Hollywood Shuffle aka Best Movie Ever: THROWBACK!

Written By Shannon Washington

For today’s Throwback, we give you the whole shabang! Hollywood Shuffle is the 1980’s classic written by Robert Townsend (Five Heartbeats) and Keneen Ivory Wayans (In Living Color). Known for it’s hilarious lampoon of the treatment black actors received- and still receive- in Hollywood, coupled with common black stereotypes in TV and film at the time, it may be dated but the film is more current than ever in it’s message. My fave scene, “Black Acting School” – Mandingo, I love you!

Peep the vintage Essence mags in the bathroom in the opening scene.

Like you are working anway—it’s Thursday!

    Good Find. Try Sling.com also, they aggregate a bunch of the video sites and it streams better than hulu.
