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?

Doctor Who - Vengeance on Varos | REVIEWED!

In desperate need of the rare mineral ore, Zeiton-7, your intrepid hosts Paul and Geoff (after some bickering about the current state of TV and cinema in a world of disposable short content media) arrive on Varos in the space year 1985.
There they discover a dark world of paranoia and brutal justice, a nightmarish Orwellian deepstate in which sales of video nasties fuel a society led by opportunistic sociopaths who control their populace and their Governor through a process of deadly democracy. Here, voting YES or NO means something far worse than a place in a dance-off or another night in the jungle.
Yes indeedy. In another of our SIXIE SPECIALS, we take a deep dive into the murky thematic and narrative depths of the classic 6th Doctor story: VENGEANCE ON VAROS!
Widely hailed as one of Doctor Who's most sophisticated episodes - because it foresaw the advent of Gogglebox and I'm a Celebrity way before The Hunger Games was even a thing - Vengeance on Varos fed the fans of Doctor Who with many memorable moments and characters , not least one of the best villains of the 1980s, the greedy sales rep Sil from the Galatron Mining Corporation!
So, grab your food trays, fire up your telescreens and get ready to cast your vote on Varos' many burning questions.
Such as:
- How 'prescient' was this story?
- How brilliant is Sil?
- How amazing is Martin Jarvis, previously a humanoid butterly?
- What happens when you give highly stylised, verbose dialogue to the son of James Bond?
- Bird or beast?
- Fish or foul?
- What happened to the 'Go-Faster!' button on those electric buggies in the punishment dome?
Plus we hear from other fans too!
Get ready to hit play and vote YES or NO in 5... 4... 3... ... ...
