The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster (2023) Oct 09, 2025

Show notes

Vincent and Len remember voice actress Kimberly Gregory, which leads to high praise for Craig of the Creek. Then, they debate which movie franchises should 'give it up' after they watch Tron: Ares. Then a listener challenges the hosts to recast the 80s Whoopi classic Jumpin' Jack Flash before connecting D'urville Martin to two legendary film monsters and reviewing the Frankenstein reimagining told from the perspective of a determined, intelligent, and angry Black girl.

Whose Streets? (2017) with Ben Passmore Oct 02, 2025

Show notes

Cartoonist Ben Passmore (BTTM FDRS) shares his moment of activation into anarchy and connects it to his new graphic novel, Black Arms To Hold You Up. That seamlessly leads into a review of the compelling 2017 documentary about life in Ferguson during the BLM movement. Vincent explores Six Degrees of separation within the career of 'the white guy in Enter The Dragon,' and Ben and The Men use Silver Convention's Fly Robin Fly to soundtrack a movie.

Hale County This Morning This Evening (2018) Sep 25, 2025

Show notes

The Missionaries has Vincent and Len combing through the history of Black Teen actors in the 1980s and the origin of the Buddy-Cop genre (would you believe 1974?). They shower respect and flowers on the career of Lorriane Toussaint while questioning the legacy of Nell Carter. Vincent asks, "Who's Dean Jones?" Then, the Men of Micheaux are a couple of flies on the wall for director RaMell Ross's visual poem about small towns in Alabama.

Beats Rhymes and LIfe: The Travels of A Tribe Called Effect (2011) Sep 18, 2025

Show notes

We remember Terrence Crawford vs. Canelo Alvarez. We go on a Vision Quest for some reason still unknown. One of us finds out about Robert Redford's passing. We examine the darkness of Happy Feet. And we have reviews (and lyrics) to go for A Tribe Called Quest and director Michael Rapaport.

The Life and Crimes of Doris Payne (2013) Sep 11, 2025

Show notes

Vincent and Len marvel at THE LIFE AND CRIMES OF DORIS PAYNE, an 80-year-old jewel thief on absolutely unrepentant glory. But first they partake in recasting of Sinners circa the 90s, suggested by a listener, and unveil a new feature dedicated to celebrating the under-celebrated Black actresses of yesterday and today - With/And - beginning with Fredi Washington, who lived anything but an Imitation of Life. Six Degrees of D'urville Martin connects the blaxploitation legend with Hollywood burglars Cary Grant and Michael Madsen.

Crimson Tide (1995) Aug 28, 2025

Show notes

Len shares mini-reviews of the late-summer horror box-office hitWeapons and Eden, the most UN-Ron Howard film ever. Then the Men of Micheaux create a Black Acting Mount Rushmore (1980-present) before basking in the master class on display by Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman in director Tony Scott's political thriller Crimson Tide, featuring Quentin Tartino's toneless dialogue.

Sugar Hill (1994) Aug 22, 2025

Show notes

The Men of Micheaux glide through a history of comedy dating back to the 40s just so they can fully unfurl their capes for Tisha Campbell and Tichina Arnold (again!), two underappreciated comedic geniuses waiting to be "discovered". Then a reflection on character actor Abe Vigoda brings them to their review of SUGAR HILL, a forgotten Wesley Snipes drama of the 90s with many influences but not much to say.

Iron Eagle 2 (1988) Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

The Men of Micheaux create a list of must-see Black films from 1980-2025 for visiting extraterrestrials and give fair consideration to the career choices of Louis Gossett Jr. in light of his jingoistic movie series "Iron Eagle". Nevertheless, as in mourning the loss of 70s child actor Danielle Spencer, Len and Vincent get stuck searching for the answer: "Who thought it was a good idea for Dee to date Dwayne on What's Happening Now?"

The Final Comedown (1972) Aug 07, 2025

Show notes

The Men of Micheaux return to live podcasting to cape for what they've been watching lately, something a little old (King of The Hill, Homicide: Life On The Streets) and something new (Pantheon, King of The Hill?). Vincent gets lost wandering through the small sweatered lands of the Madea Cinematic Universe. And after Six Degrees of Billy Dee Williams, they go One Degree of D'Urville with their review of the still-relevant The Final Comedown.
