From The Class of 1989: Ladies First and Last Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Please enjoy another episode from our miniseries The Class of 1989!

1989 was not the year of the Black woman in film. The Color Purple was one of the few feature films in the 80s that centered on Black women, and it wouldn't be until 1992 that a Black woman would get theatrical distribution directing a film about Black women. Just like Anita Hill is often credited for the 1992 election being deemed 'the year of the woman,' what seeds were planted in '89 that inspired or provoked Black women directors in the next decade?

Listen to this episode here, then head on over to The Class of 1989 feed for more.

Harriet (2019) Mar 15, 2023

Show notes

The Men of Micheaux share their 'interesting' thoughts on the Oscars, riff through a historic Top 5 Black Speculative Fiction and super quick Six Degrees to Charlton Heston and Djimon Hounsou. And the rest of the show (44:03) is dedicated to their conflicting opinions of director Kasi Lemmons' HARRIET (2019), featuring Cynthia Erivo and Leslie Odom Jr. + friend-of-the-show Omar Dorsey.
