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!

Show notes

Vince and Len are huge Wesley Snipes fans and have a fondness for the action packed vampire romp of BLADE 2 but seen through critical eyes in 2019, some aspects of the film bare questioning.

Ghost Dad (1990) Oct 23, 2019

Show notes

The scary thing about this exercise is that two award-winning legends were behind it being made and shaped it into the GHOST DAD of bad movies. But it makes for a fun review.

Night of the Living Dead (1968) Oct 16, 2019

Vince and Len hit the dusty trail of cowboy shows of long ago - Why? WHO KNOWS? - and then settle down at the bar for a Night of The Living Dead from director George Romero and starring Duane Jones. Is this a Black film?
