Forget feel-good campus comedies—Higher Learning is what happens when John Singleton decides to talk about the real college experience. Omar Epps, Kristy Swanson, and an all-star cast navigate a world where race, power, and influence collide—and no one walks away unchanged. Singleton bridges streets and suburbs, hope and harsh reality… and leaves us with one word that says it all: Unlearn.
Check out where it ranks in our list of every John Singleton film—full breakdown in the video.

18,000 Theorists Strong 🙌🏾

From day one, this channel has been about telling the stories of the artists and moments that shaped us — and the fact that 18,000 of you rock with that mission? Unreal.

Every view, every comment, every share fuels us to keep digging in the crates and giving you rankings, reactions, and the kind of cultural commentary you can’t get anywhere else.

Next stop: 20K on YouTube — and we’re just 10 people away from hitting 1K on Instagram. Let’s run it up on both fronts. Appreciate y’all more than you know.

Before Batman Begins, before Inception, Christopher Nolan made Insomnia—a remake of a 1997 Norwegian thriller. Al Pacino leads, Robin Williams plays a sadistic psychopath, and Nolan… doesn’t write the script. The result? A psychological mystery that should’ve been perfect for him—but somehow feels like Nolan on a leash. The lack of his signature non-linear style holds it back, but Williams’ performance keeps it from the bottom.

Find out exactly where it lands in our Nolan ranking—full video coming right up!

John Singleton built his rep showing us life in South Central. But in 2000, he surprised everyone—writing and directing Shaft, the sequel to the ‘70s cult classic. Samuel L. Jackson brought the swagger and heat as Shaft’s nephew, while Jeffrey Wright stole entire scenes as Peoples Hernandez, a larger-than-life kingpin you couldn’t look away from. Add Mekhi Phifer’s emotional moments and a Busta Rhymes cameo, and this wasn’t just a sequel—it was Singleton proving he could play in any sandbox.
See where Shaft lands in our ranking of all John Singleton films—full video up now.
