After shaking the box office with a global gross of over 1 billion dollars, the ‘Jumanji’ reboot is back.

Officially christened ‘Jumanji: The Next Level,’ the flick – which stars Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Kevin Hart – reunites familiar faces. But this time, the game has changed.

Upon their return, the players note that everything has changed and they’re tasked with veering into the unknown and overcome an array of obstacles on their way out.

Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to celebrate TV and Film’s most iconic moments.

Today, we honour Esther Brown, Woody Strode and their contributions to the 1956 movie ‘The Ten Commandments‘, a movie designed to tell the story of Moses, the Prince of Egypt.

Woody was an elite athlete and WW2 soldier and found fame in Hollywood after the producer Walter Mirisch saw him wrestling and asked him to play in the 1951 movie ‘The Lion Hunters.’ 

He was then cast in the aforementioned ‘Commandments’ five years later and performed alongside Ms. Brown.

Ready to revisit their magic.

Today, it has set out to embarrass him again by revealing that he was glued to Google in the days following the “attack”, and searched his own name over 57 times to find out which media media outlets were covering what many now say is a tale of the tallest persuasion.

That Grape Juice caught up with the TV veteran at the 2019 ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Awards, where she spilled on why she wasn’t here for the jabs.
