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 ...

“All I can think is… what a misuse of the wonderful Queen Latifah.” Lisa Findley
“Cry emoji, cry emoji, cry emoji.” Charles Adrian
Just Wright
Year: 2010
Written by: Michael Elliot
Director: Sanaa Hamri
Stars: Queen Latifah, Common
Show notes:
We cannot in all conscience recommend this film, although Queen Latifah is wonderful in it. And other people are very good in it too. And it contains one of the best meet cutes we’ve seen. It’s just a mess of a movie (in our opinion; ymmv*) and we are ready to tell you why.
We mention the book The Rules, Time-tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right (1995) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rules), the films Grease (1978) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077631/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0), The Bodyguard (1992) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103855/) and Last Holiday (2006) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408985/), and the podcast You’re Wrong About (https://yourewrongabout.com/).
We record these episodes over the internet. Sometimes the audio is not perfect. We apologise for that.
Music in this episode is by Martin Zaltz Austwick (martinzaltzaustwick.com). Artwork is by Lisa Findley.
Thank you for listening!
