Coming to America vs. Friday

Lemonada Media and BBC
About this episode

Which classic Black film is better: Coming to America or Friday? It’s the final episode of Season 1 and it only felt right to bring back Nichole Hill and Jonquilyn Hill to settle their best-of-three series. Nichole says Coming to America is a more complete film with visionary casting featuring extraordinary songs. Jonquilyn says Friday is so ingrained in our culture that people quote it without even realizing they’re quoting the film. Which film will Ronald Young Jr. pick as the final victor in the first season of Pop Culture Debate Club?
