Vincent and Len mourn the loss of 1970s songstress Roberta Flack, celebrating her incredible career and iconic voice. This leads to a conversation that touches on notable figures like Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and The Big Bopper. Len lists the Five Films that he will never choose for The Mission, while Vincent connects D'Urville Martin to two actors that Len would prefer not to see in movies. The discussion then turns to a review of Bill Duke's 1997 gangster film starring Laurence Fishburne, which raises questions about its qualities.
