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.

This week Ben had the option to pick anything he wanted to watch and he chose the Jeremy Irons episode of Saturday Night Live with musical guest Fishbone. Why did he do this? Because he likes Fishbone. So, what did we learn? Maybe you shouldn't pick an old episode of SNL for the musical guest because this is one of the most forgettable episodes ever. On the positive side we get some fun Deep Thoughts and two incredible performances from Fishbone, but nothing else brings the goods. Jeremy Irons doesn't seem to want to be there, we get a bunch of recurring characters with visits from Wayne's World, Hans & Franz, and The Richmeister, not to mention a Dennis Miller Weekend Update, a cowboy song, a sketch where women love Jeremy's British accent, a sketch about Hannibal Lecter that doesn't mention cannibalism, and Sherlock Holmes's birthday party. You'll be begging to see some G.E. Smith face. Enjoy!
