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.

Our mini JuLiza continues this week with a special episode dedicated to Liza Minelli's 1972 televised concert "Liza with a Z," which does feature some Best Supporting Dancers, but is truly all about 26 year old Minelli going to a 27 and back in under an hour. Nick is a longtime, "owns the special edition DVD" fan while Colin is an "I heard a parody of that song on Drag Race" newbie, but we can both appreciate the DRAMA of "It Was a Good Time," the storytelling and enthusiastic belling of "Ring Them Bells," the brief but endearing chats with the audience, the moments she looks like her mother, and the way she wrings the absolute rag out in that ten minute "Cabaret" medley at the end.
