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!

Carmen Jones (1954) Mar 02, 2016

Show notes

The men are all over Dorothy Dandridge's sultry rendition of the classic opera but are decidedly split over the performance of Mr. Belafonte. Thank God for Pearl Bailey! Plus, lots of listener feedback! MICHEAUX MISSION theme - "Nola" by Bill Lee/Ronnie Dyson

The Last Dragon (1985) Feb 24, 2016

Show notes

Well, it had to happen and it took 1985's urban kung-fu schlock to do so. The Last Dragon, featuring Vanity, Julius J Carry, directed by Mike Schultz (Cooley High) and starring Taimak in his acting debut, is the first film on the Mission that Vince and Len completely disagree on.

CHI - RAQ (2015) Feb 17, 2016

Show notes

Our first stop in Spike Town brings us to CHI-RAQ, the director's re-imagining of a Greek sex farce set to the sights sounds and urgency of a bloodied Chicago, starring Nick Cannon, Wesley Snipes and featuring Teyonah Parris. MICHEAUX MISSION theme - "Nola" by Bill Lee/Ronnie Dyson

Fresh (1994) Feb 10, 2016

Show notes

Next stop on the Mission is FRESH (1994) featuring a very young Sean Nelson outsmarting daddy Samuel Jackson and sharp dressed, sharper chiseled Giancarlo Esposito at a figurative game of chess to save his sister N'Bushe Wright. Director Boaz Yakin may have made a flick that outsmarted its audience as well. MICHEAUX MISSION theme - "Nola" by Bill Lee/Ronnie Dyson

Straight Outta Compton (2015) Jan 29, 2016

Show notes

The legend of the hip-hop crew Niggaz With Attitude or N.W.A. is begging for a feature film showcase. Thus we have 2015's Straight Outta Compton, straight from the surviving members of the group. We are entertained. Are we satisfied? MICHEAUX MISSION theme - "Nola" by Bill Lee/Ronnie Dyson

Uptown Saturday Night (1974) Jan 29, 2016

Show notes

The Mission kicks off with Vince's favorite movie of all-time - Uptown Saturday Night (1974) in time to reflect on the 70s comedy that showed Sidney Poitier's versatility, Harry Belafonte's comedic chops and Bill Cosby at his grimiest (or so we thought).

Definition Of A Black Film Jan 29, 2016

Show notes

Len Webb (Black Tribbles) and Vincent Williams (It's All Soul) come together to launch a new podcast with an audacious mission statement: to watch and review every Black feature film ever released. But first they have to decide just what is and is not a black film. MICHEAUX MISSION theme - "Nola" by Bill Lee/Ronnie Dyson
