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?

We rolled tape on this Blaxploitation, Afro-Futurist jam on May 24th, not knowing that the next day the whole world was gonna straight up open that putrid can of worms called “racism,” that had been taking up way too much space on the shelf. It’s not that we regret what we said here, but we obviously omit George Floyd, who was still thankfully walking at the time, and we jokingly dismiss white supremacists. We would have given them more firebrand hell the next day. Black Lives Matter. Why? Because the sheep that has come near the wolf’s mouth is the one that needs your attention at the moment, not the ones that are safe in the herd. This is why we’ve gotta put Black Lives Matter at the tip of our tongues at the moment. Lest us not forget, this film may be fantastically weird, but Sun Ra’s core metaphysics have never been more important than the moment you are calling Now. Please do like, subscribe, and rate on all the things like Facebook, Twitter, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. Wherever you happen to be hearing us, really.
