Monday Night Conversation with Ice Cube & Tracey Morgan
Our Monday Night Conversation this episode features Actor/Producer/Artist Ice Cube and Actor/Comedian Tracey Morgan in connection with their new film, FIRST SUNDAY.
In this hilarious comedy, Durell (ICE CUBE) and LeeJohn (TRACY MORGAN) are best friends and bumbling petty criminals. When Durell learns that his ex-girlfriend plans to move to another state with their son - unless they can get her $17,000 to pay off a debt - they come up with a desperate scheme to rob their neighborhood church. But when the duo fumble their way through the break-in, they discover someone has beaten them to the punch. In order to get their hands on the money, Durell and LeeJohn are forced to spend the night in the presence of the Lord and his followers... and end up getting a lot more than they bargained for.
The all-star cast also includes Katt Williams as Rickey, the flamboyant church choir-director, Chi McBride as the Pastor, Malinda Williams as his outspoken daughter and Regina Hall as the mother of Durell's son.
