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?

In this episode, Chris welcomes back Omar AKA “The Uncanny Omar” from the YouTube channel “Near Mint Condition” to explore one of his favorite stories, “Green Lantern: Rebirth”. Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver weave an epic tale of redemption and heroism that would bring back one DC’s greatest heroes. Hal Jordan was once regarded as the greatest Green Lantern of them all--high praise, considering that the intergalactic Green Lantern Corps traced its history back billions of years. But his vast power eventually corrupted him, and in a failed effort to remake the universe using the nearly unlimited energy of the Lanterns' Central Power Battery, he slaughtered his comrades-in-arms and destroyed the entire Corps. After his downfall, Hal vanished--only to reappear when the Earth was threatened by a stellar apocalypse. To save his home world, he made the ultimate sacrifice--an act that did not go unnoticed in the celestial sphere. Jordan's soul was picked to inhabit the Spectre, the supernatural embodiment of the wrath of God. In his new form he turned the astral avenger into a spirit of redemption while seeking a peaceful end to his existence. But fate was not done with Hal Jordan yet. After several years of activity on Earth, The Spectre became restless and sought a way to prove himself worthy of that noble reputation. See how a man born without fear and seeking to rebuild his life, puts cosmic forces into motion that will have repercussions not only on Earth but across the universe.
