Micheaux Mission — Film Reviews
Micheaux Mission

Vincent Williams and Len Webb have started an amazing journey to watch and review every African-American film released in theaters. Their passion project, the Micheaux Mission, honors Oscar Micheaux, a trailblazing Black filmmaker. Their enthusiasm and dedication are truly inspiring as they seek the perfect wine to pair with Pam Grier’s Coffy, find five movies since 1985 that don’t feature Samuel L. Jackson, and connect with other film fans who share Len’s view on The Last Dragon. Their commitment to celebrating and examining African-American cinema is both commendable and uplifting. Welcome to the Mission!

VINCENT WILLIAMS of the Micheaux Mission joins the Tribbles to talk about all the false faces in this game-changing episode of Lovecraft Country. The scenes are not for the timid but the gore has nothing on the real systemic horror on display.

B.A.P.S (1997) Aug 05, 2020

Show notes

Could this be the real Academy Award worthy performance from Halle Berry? Is this a prelude to Oscar for Martin Landau? Is B.A.P.S (1997) an under appreciated comic tour-de force? CAN ROGER EBERT BE WRONG? Or were director Robert Townsend and screenwriter Troy Beyer wrong?
