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.

Megan has never seen a MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE movie. Dan and Stephen are making her watch ALL OF THEM. That’s right, as the final (?) film in the series slowly approaches, we will be going through the ultimate preparatory task. It sounds impossible, but we’ll succeed, just like Ethan Hunt and the IMF gang! We have plenty of time, so this won’t be a back-to-back-to-back project, but expect plenty of M:I talk over the coming year or so. This time we’re talking John Woo’s MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE II. It’s an action-and-misogyny-packed throwback to the early aughts, complete with leather jackets, Oakley sunglasses, and Limp Bizkit. Hop on your motorcycle and cruise (ha!) with us to an era when creating superviruses was a thing villains did and not just business as usual. Three cheers for capitalism!
