Every movie reference you missed in the 'Look Like My Mama' video by Tyler the Creator and AZ Chike

Tyler the Creator and AZ Chike recently released a new single called "Look Like My Mama," which is packed with movie references. I've broken down the ones I recognized, along with where to stream some of the movies mentioned in the song.

First, let me introduce myself. Like many other wannabe mall goths, I stayed up late watching Loiter Squad on Adult Swim in high school and was emotionally impacted by Tyler the Creator's Chromakopia after my mom passed away. I also missed his tour due to covid and regret that to this day.

Now, onto the movies referenced in "Look Like My Mama."

1. Sinners - HBO Max

The song references the movie Sinners, which is available to watch on HBO Max. The film is a stunning horror romance with subtle shifts in cinematography that enhance the emotional themes. It's worth watching and has become a Sunday tradition for me.

2. I Saw the TV Glow - Available on YouTube or Apple

I Saw the TV Glow is a haunting and beautiful horror movie directed by Jane Schoenbrun. Set in an American suburb, it follows Owen, played by Justice Smith, as he navigates teenage awkwardness and a difficult family situation after discovering a surreal late-night TV show. The movie is now available for purchase or rent on YouTube or Apple.

3. Napoleon Dynamite - Prime Video or physical media

For those who haven't seen Napoleon Dynamite, it's a laugh-out-loud movie about a super-awkward high school student with a short temper. Napoleon Dynamite helps his friend Pedro campaign for class president against a popular girl, leading to a doomed but ultimately successful campaign. You can stream it on Prime Video or find it at a thrift or physical media store.

4. Men in Black - Netflix or MGM+

Men in Black is a quintessential 90s sci-fi action-comedy starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. The movie has spawned two sequels and is still as entertaining today as it was back in the day. With Smith's agent's origin story and the duo's quotable banter, Men in Black is endlessly rewatchable. Stream it on Netflix or MGM+ now.
