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!

Deep Cover (1992) Jul 29, 2020

Show notes

Vince and Len try to look at Gone With The Wind from a black perspective and review the 2020 Emmy Award nominations for 'colorful' notables before waxing poetic like Iceberg Slim on director Bill Duke's 90s film noir Deep Cover featuring a panther-like performance from 'Larry' Fishburne.

A Goofy Movie (1995) Jul 22, 2020

Show notes

Len’s selection this week is 1995’s A GOOFY MOVIE, reportedly ‘The Blackest Disney Movie Ever'. A high bar considering The Proud Family Movie, The Princess and The Frog and arguably Song of The South. But not too high to trip over.

Director Carl Franklin injects race into film noir via Michael Beach and the sultry Cynda Williams for a crunchy crime drama from 1992 'One False Move' starring Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton. Stay tuned for the rascally rabbit sonnets at the end of the show.

Sarafina (1992) Jul 08, 2020

Show notes

It's almost a 3-for-1 as Len and Vince give their thoughts on the feature adaptation of HAMILTON (featuring the 'undiscovered' Renee Elise Goldsberry), the luminous BLACK ORPHEUS of 1959 and the soaring sounds of 1992's SARAFINA with the star making performance of Leleti Khumalo.

Show notes

We present a BONUS Black Music Month episode as we travel to Rome circa 1975 with Mister Creepy of the 60s Anthony Perkins, 70s sex symbol Billy Dee Williams and the Lady herself - Diana Ross - for a fashionably daring shade of MAHOGANY - directed by Mister Motown, Berry Gordy.

The Bodyguard (1992) Jun 24, 2020

Vince and Len close out Black Music Month with a crescendo by celebrating the #1 selling soundtrack of all-time, which may be the true star of the melodramatic romance thriller THE BODYGUARD, starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston in her feature film debut.

Dreamgirls (2006) Jun 10, 2020

Show notes

With Jennifer Hudson and Anika Noni Rose in the cast, this is easily one of the Men's favorite episodes. Eddie Murphy shines as he never has before and Beyonce is Beyonce, for all the good and bad that portends.

The Thing With Two Heads (1972) May 27, 2020

Show notes

The Thing With Two Heads didn't have to be the mess that it proves to be but at least it gives the Men of Micheaux an opportunity to highlight the career of Ray Milland and the under appreciated Don Marshall.
