Freaky Tales is set in 1987 Oakland , a fact it makes clear from its opening narration courtesy of Oakland rapper Too Short.

The film evokes another era: the 1990s , specifically any chatty crime flick that came out in the wake of Pulp Fiction.

The movie shines when it’s showcasing its deep love for Oakland .

The inevitable last-act crossover between the stories is unfortunately not as clever or satisfying as it could have been.

The film’s most intriguing element, a new age learning center that weaves commercials throughout the film, goes mostly unexplored.

The message that “ Nazis are bad”âis obvious enough without dialogue explicitly addressing it.
