Show notes

Vincent has no time for kids invading his hip-hop spaces, Len thinks that Shaquille O’Neal would’ve had a better film career…as a robot, and Will Smith chases Tom Cruise’s coattails into this witty sci-fi sequel which maybe or maybe not a Black film. Plus, was Anna Nicole Smith an actress?

The Old Guard (2020) Apr 10, 2025

Show notes

Johnny Mathis tops the show for the first (and last) time ever in a thrifty sort of way. Len lists 10 ‘mistakable’ comic book movies of the 21st century, right before Vincent connects D’urville Martin to two noted South African actors and the Men of Micheaux wax much praise on director Gina Prince-Bythewood and actor Kiki Layne in the excellent Netflix action flick.

The Young Wife (2023) Mar 27, 2025

The Mission pauses to say goodbye to George Foreman, which begets a candy bar runoff between Oh, Reggie and Kit Kat, which leads into a Heavy D rap verse review and more, including Six Degrees to two boxers-turned-actors, before Vincent and Len shower praise on writer-director Tayarisha Poe’s 2023 introspective romantic drama.

MISSION LOGS: Acrimony (2018) Mar 25, 2025

One of the most memorable moments in Mission history is the episode where Len reviews Tyler Perry's psychological thriller Acrimony right after discovering Vincent's dislike for all cooked green vegetables. CERTIFIED FRESH!

The Caveman's Valentine (2001) Mar 20, 2025

Show notes

The Men of Micheaux are forced into a review audible, which sparks a longing for the days of physical media, including the once treasured and now expensive “music on vinyl”. Then after chatter about Heavy D, Minnie Ripperton, and the Boo-Ya Tribe (how that happen?), they see what Kasi Lemons wanted to do with The Caveman’s Valentine, but maybe Samuel L. Jackson gets in the way.

All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt (2023) Mar 13, 2025

Show notes

Vincent and Len mourn the loss of musicians Roy Ayers (“Everyone Loves The Sunshine”) and D’Wayne Wiggins (Toni Tony Toné); debate the ‘Black famousness’ of Wendell Pierce, Giancarlo Esposito, and Larenz Tate; and a listener charts the Top Five Reasons The Men of Micheaux should do The Amazing Race. Then they luxuriate in the beauty that is writer-director Raven Jackson’s feature film debut.

MISSON LOGS: Petey Wheatstraw with Dorian Missick and Omar Dorsey Mar 11, 2025

Show notes

We conclude the history of the Micheaux / Missick Connection as we flashback to October 2020 when, in the early days of the pandemic, the Men of Micheaux jumped on a Zoom-ish platform with actor-best friends Dorian Missick and Omar Dorsey to review Rudy Ray Moore's alter-ego Dolemite as another alter-ego, Petey Wheatstraw (1977).
