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? Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

FFR 250: Challengers

Join Kat and A.C. for a discussion of one of their most hotly anticipated movies of 2024, Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist. The FFR hosts were mixed on their reactions, but both saw opportunities where it could have ascended to greater heights than it ultimately did—in particular with the underwritten female character in the middle of the film’s central love triangle. While we love the craft accomplishments of this movie, we can’t help but wonder what Paul Verhoeven might have done with this story.
Plus, we check in on this spring’s film festivals, from the recently debuted Los Angeles Festival of Movies presented by Mubi to the 77th annual festival in Cannes, which just kicked off.
Discussed in this episode:
- FFR "Cyberpunk Summer" episode on Strange Days w/ Emily St. James
