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?

On episode 340 of the Seibertron.com Twincast Podcast, the conversation kicks off with the reveal of Transformers Legacy: United Titan Class Tidal Wave at Cybertron Fest 2023 in Singapore. Contrary to the predictions Tidal Wave is not, in fact, a retool of the Kingdom Titan Class Ark. The conversation segues into another reveal from the same show, Origins Wheeljack, which features the 1984 debut character in his original Cybertronian vehicle mode. Speaking of cartoon depictions, the cast also briefly discusses the yet-to-be-revealed Studio Series 86 Commander Class Optimus Prime, and speculates on what the fandom can expect from this anticipated release. The show moves to in-hand thoughts on the recently shipped Transformers Legacy HasLab Deathsaurus, which has reached the entire casts' hands as of the show's recording. Moving on from new and upcoming toys, the crew reviews the third issue of Skybound Entertainment's Transformers comic book run, which are mostly positive with one notable holdout. Our regular "40 for 40" series, where each cast member notes their favorite Transformer from a given year of releases, takes on 1997, the second year of Beast Wars and only year of Machine Wars. The episode wraps with our regular "Bragging Rights" segment.
