In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

We promise you we don’t get off track. We’re not gonna lie, there was a wavering moment when Zammit remembered Michael Keaton was in Multiplicity but thankfully no one else had seen it or otherwise that would have been us for the episode. Then Jackson’s chair broke. In a regular episode that would have been it! But we made a promise! Hell or high water we’re gonna talk about Beetlejuice Beetlejuice! From the earliest rumblings of Beetlejuice Goes to Hawaii to Burton watching and loving Heaters to Vampire Lincoln Abraham Hunter (another landmine we expertly avoid!) no piece of production history is left unturned! Even Kevin Smith makes a brief appearance! So listen long, listen deep and be proud of us for staying on topic like the goodest little boys in all of podcasting. Speaking of Multiplicity, it seems cloning is off the table. While attempting to clone rhesus monkeys, the cloned embryos lack key proteins that allow a cell to divvy up chromosomes and divide properly with some surmising that the same problem may also be present in any attempts to clone humans. So be bummed for ever ape you see is the only kind of that ape and you’ll never experience an ape like that again. But be grateful because no matter what, that ape is special and beautiful in it’s own way and what a magical experience it was to see that ape be that ape and no one can take that away from you! This also applies for humans we guess?
