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?

Alix's birthday month continues with one of the most fundamental entries in her favorite genre, and one of the earliest examples of viral marketing. Was it real? Obviously not, but people in the 90's were confused and we're going to talk all about it in this week's episode on THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.
The team takes you on a journey from the early days of two ambitious directors with an obsession for paranormal 70s documentaries to their ascent through the madness of the Hollywood system (and right back out). Anthony and Alix also look at how the success of the film affected the lives of its cast, as well as the creative filming process behind the whole thing.
There's also an extended look at other Blair Witch media that would made up the second half of the film, if that woods footage wasn't so great! Get ready for some nostalgic tales of childhood screenings, and a plea to Kevin Smith (it'll make sense, we swear). This IS the Super Mario 64 of found footage films (again, it'll make sense).
