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.

"Sully" is not an "Angry Birds" sequel. It is about Sully Sullenberger: Airport Pilot. This week on the Grierson & Leitch podcast, Will and Tim discuss Clint Eastwood's "Sully," and whether you can make a movie about a flight that lasts 208 seconds. Then, in our Reboot section, we take a look at two hits from the '80s. First, from 1981, Lawrence Kasdan's "Body Heat," starring William Hurt, Kathleen Turner, Mickey Rourke and a fantastic Ted Danson. Then we dig deep into '80s teen comedies by discussing 1989's "Teen Witch." A certain family member of Will's will be made very happy, or angry, by this one. Top that. Timestamps: 5:50 "Sully" 26:33 "Body Heat" 45:00 "Teen Witch" This is super fun show. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@newrepublic.com. As always, give us a review on iTunes with the name of a movie you'd like us to review, and we'll discuss it on a later podcast. Also, Grierson is a world champion competitive eater. His specialty is the turducken. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
