Juice (1992)
THIRD EYE series SPONSORED BY CHEBA HUT Cinematographer Ernest R. Dickerson directed and co-wrote this crime drama about a group of friends who get involved in a robbery. Bishop (Tupac Shakur), Q (Omar Epps), Raheem (Khalil Kain), and Steel (Jermaine Hopkins) are four Harlem friends who spend their days skipping school, getting in fights, and casually shoplifting. The only member of the group who has plans for the future is Q, who dreams of becoming a deejay. But one day Bishop happens to see James Cagney in White Heat and the film inspires him to buy a gun. His plan is to rob a corner store and split the money. Everyone goes along with the plan except for Q, who is competing that night in a deejay contest. At the club, Q is a rousing success, but he spies the stern faces of his friends through the cheering crowd and realizes that he has to go along with the robbery, which goes completely wrong. CURATED BY JORIS, MARKETING MANAGER I chose Juice for the Third Eye series because it comes from a time when rappers and artists didn’t just make the music—they were the stars, bringing real style, energy, and authenticity to every scene. The film captures Dinkins-era Harlem at the height of Hip Hop culture, full of cameos and a neighborhood buzzing with life. And then there’s Tupac, unforgettable as Bishop and electric in every moment. With one of the best soundtracks of the decade, Juice has only become more powerful over the years. I can’t think of a better film to share with an audience ready to experience it as it was meant to be seen.Crime, Drama, ThrillerPT1H36MR2026-09-26Omar Epps
