Marlon Wayans Believes Movies Like ‘Two Blondes With Chest Hair’ “Are Necessary”

To Marlon Wayans, screenwriter of the ‘Scary Movie’ or ‘Paranormal Movie’ saga, the whole question of political correctness and culture woke up he doesn’t care in the least. In an interview with Buzzfeed at the Netflix premiere of the family horror comedy ‘The Spirit of Bridge Hollow’, Wayans has assured that he does not intend to change his style of comedy nor will he listen to the new generations.

Together with his brothers Keenen Ivory Wayans and Shawn Wayans (as well as Andrew McElfresh, Michael Anthony Snowden and Xavier Cook) Marlon Wayans wrote “Two Chesty Hair Blondes”, who also starred opposite Shawn and was directed by Keenen Ivory. All in family. The film tells the story of two disgraced black FBI agents who go undercover posing as rich white heiresses, the Wilson sisters, to protect them from a kidnapping plot.

It was first presented in 2004, critics criticized it and was nominated for 5 Razzies (the two actors, director, screenplay and worst film couple), but despite everything the film was a box office success and is a very popular title thanks to its numerous broadcasts, but can it be done today? “I think they are necessary”Wayan says, “I don’t know what planet we are on where it is thought that people don’t need to laugh and that people need to be censored and deleted. If a joke is deleted, thank you for doing me this favor. It’s sad that as a society we can’t anymore laugh. “You’re welcome. I won’t listen to this damn generation. “

reverse racism?

Over time, ‘Two Blondes with Chest Hair’ has been perceived more and more as a title “problematic” and certainly his crazy humor is not for all audiences: “I will not listen to those people: these frightened people, these frightened executives”, Wayans continues “Everyone does what they want to do? Great. I’ll keep telling my jokes the way I tell them. And if you want to make some money, jump on the winners bandwagon. And if not, I’ll find a way to do it. I know my audience, come on. “I come to my shows every weekend and they leave feeling great and laughing. One thing about the Wayans is that we’ve always told the worst joke in the best way. “

Although he always pretended to be a satire and the white face cannot be compared to the black face due to its historical and socio-cultural connotations, it is not that when it was published they invited the public to reflect or to have some intellectual interest, I was just looking for the easy joke and physical and even childish humor. So if she wasn’t meant to be anything else, it seems Wayans can’t consider she’s aged badly and he himself recommended her to Priah Ferguson (“Stranger Things”) when she was cast to play his daughter in “The Spirit of Bridge.” Hollow ‘, now available on Netflix.
