Micheaux Mission

Latest Episodes:

Little Man (2006) Jul 24, 2025

Show notes

The Men of Micheaux remember rock legend Ozzy Osbourne and Malcolm-Jamal Warner's inspiring career, consider Quincy Jones's film scores, and share their thoughts on Fantastic Four: First Steps. Unfortunately, that leaves room for their review of Little Man, perhaps the smallest achievement in the Wayans Bros. filmography.

Plus, we create an all-star writing room for some epic Black movies, Vincent and David both go Six Degrees of D'urville, and we tally up Shaft's Big Score.

One Down, Two To Go (1982) Jul 03, 2025

Show notes

The Men of Micheaux say goodbye to Walter Scott of The Whispers while also wondering about the group's strange hold on the hearts of Philly. Vincent and Len went to the movies to see Jurassic World: Rebirth, and they have an opinion about what the film should have rebirthed. And after sharing their favorite Saturday morning cartoons (YAY!) and cereals (BUMMER!), the Men analyze what went wrong with writer-director Fred Williamson's 1982 attempt at a 1970s "cool Black flick."

Dope (2015) with N. Steven Harris Jun 12, 2025

Show notes

We greet comic book artist N. Steven Harris just in time to bid a fond farewell to music legend Sly Stone (1943-2025), respond to a bewildering email from “family” that takes a poke at director Antoine Fuqua for reasons TBD, and review the eccentric, quirky, yet prescient coming-of-age comedy by Rick Famuyiwa that kickstarted the careers of some of the Mission’s favorite actors.

The Help (2011) May 29, 2025

Show notes

Listeners ask the Men of Micheaux about their favorite comfort-food albums and which directors they would gift a $100 million blank check for a movie. We also pay tribute to the passing of ‘70s-80s character actor James McEachin, connect D'Urville Martin to two distaff 'Davises,' and then Len unleashes Vincent for his completely uncensored deconstruction of Tate Taylor and Kathlyn Stockett's The Help, with tepid apologies to Viola "You is kind, you is smart, you is impo'tant" Davis.
