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're delighted to welcome Steve Denny as this month's special guest interviewee with Rich. Steve is a legend in collecting circles, one of the old school, in the game right from the start, and he has some great tales to tell. Rich poses an interesting question in this month's intro - what period of collecting would you go back to, but you can't bring anything back - and strictly no cheating! Elsewhere the lads rattle through their latest finds, and puzzle over a cardbacks quiz. There's the last ever Action Vehicle Face-Off (no cheering at the back there) and some great new acquisitions, ranging from an old bed headboard to a chintzy Darth Vader costume from Canada. In Rebel Briefings there's another insight into figure production with Chris Fawcett, and a look at a record breaking Rocket Fett, whether the case is now closed on grey limbed Snowtroopers, a cloning controversy, Palitoy factory photos and comic capers with Star Wars Weekly. Licensee this month is Bunch Books and Paradise Press, as we take a look into poster magazines, Special Collectors Editions, and more. Of course there's plenty of the usual bollux and banter along the way, look out for the podcast in all the usual places.
