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 ...

SPIKE IS BACK! ***This OSP of BlacKkKlansman has a Spoiler Section*** Our spoiler section will also contain plot details for Get Out, but we are full non-spoilers for the first (39) minutes of our review. **NON-SPOILER Review** Production Profile - 2:13 Movie Specs - 12:45 Expectations - 18:47 Production Values - 23:48 (Non-Spoiler Oscar Lens Reviews of...) …Director - 24:58 Cinematography & Editing - 28:21 Adapted Screenplay - 29:58 Performances - 31:50 Original Score - 35:15 Best Picture? - 37:26 Spoiler Warning Music - 38:45 **SPOILER-FILLED Review** Carryovers - 40:06 Plot Overview + Analysis - 48:32 Best Scenes - 1:06:27 Worst Scenes - 1:15:53 Final Grades - 1:20:25 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND LEAVE US AN iTUNES REVIEW. PLEASE! - 1:21:43 Spike Lee is back and perhaps better than ever with his newest film, BlacKkKlansman. From the stories behind the scenes to the box office, it’s one of the more jam packed production profiles. Then although we bounce around from topic to non-spoiler topic, we do cover all of the major Oscar categories and if this film will contend. The spoiler music plays, and after some carryover conversation from non-spoilers, we must break down the plot to get our heads around the story and themes being put across to us. Honestly, we are still wrestling with this film. It’s a massive undertaking with a deceptive amount of depth - depth of feeling certainly, but also a depth in terms of all those English Exam vocabulary words we could use to analyze the story. Although, we’re not at our most articulate, this debate between Mikes brings forth a thesis from Mike 1, and we break down his main takeaway in spoilers. BlacKkKlansman is our 12th Oscar Sprint Profile of 2018. We’ve also reviewed Isle of Dogs (ep 90), Eighth Grade (89), Mission: Impossible - Fallout (86), Sorry To Bother You (85), Ant-Man and the Wasp (83), The Incredibles 2 (ep 78), Hereditary (75, 77), Deadpool 2 (ep 70), Avengers: Infinity War (68), A Quiet Place (62), and Black Panther (42,43). We’ve also kept you up to date on all the Oscar buzz, the news of the Best Popular Film category, and several episodes predicting the winners, handicapping the race, and of course, reviewing all of the trailers for upcoming contenders. Do please reach out to us with your comments on this or any previous episode. We are most accessible on Twitter @MMandOscar. We’re also Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and Gmail. You can find our podcast on Google Play, iTunes, Soundcloud, Stitcher, etc…, and whatever you can do to help us spread the word about our new show, we’d really appreciate it. A few clicks, a follow/like/subscribe/share or certainly a 5 star review on iTunes will go a long way to help us grow, and we’re really proud of our growth over the past few months. To correct something we’d said during our recording, the numbers we achieved this week actually beat our previous 7-day best, and we owe it all to you. So thanks for listening. When reality sucks, keep watching those movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar!
