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.

Fashion designer Johnny Stitches discovers Helga’s hidden talent for the runway and makes her the new “It Girl”. The more she leans into her prickly persona, the more the crowd loves it. But she’s not a fan of having her ‘natural’ meanness, nastiness, and insensitivity co-opted by everyone in town, so she starts looking for an out. Arnold is separated from his own essential self (a nosy, do-gooder fount of advice) in “Deconstructing Arnold,” when his friends implore him to stop being such a kibitzer (that’s Yiddish for ‘big, fat buttinski’). It’s not long before several moments of crisis have them yearning for his avuncular advice, but Helga steps in to fill the gap – and her suggestions turn P.S. 118 a bit of an amoral bedlam.
