Micheaux Mission
Hosted by Bleav, Micheaux Mission · EN
Vincent Williams and Len Webb have started an amazing journey to watch and review every African-American film released in theaters. Their passion project, the Micheaux Mission, honors Oscar Micheaux, a trailblazing Black filmmaker. Their enthusiasm and dedication are truly inspiring as they seek the perfect wine to pair with Pam Grier’s Coffy, find five movies since 1985 that don't feature Samuel L. Jackson, and connect with other film fans who share Len’s view on The Last Dragon. Their commitment to celebrating and examining African-American cinema is both commendable and uplifting. Welcome to the Mission!

The music of John Coltrane and The Chipmunks inspires the Men in special ways, and Vincent goes Six Degrees to a couple of other Michaels in film. We're making video versions of our reviews!

3w ago01:18:34Tap to summarizeThe Men of Micheaux settle in to review 1993's CB4, marveling at the many gifts of Khandi Alexander on display and underutilized.

Who’s Your Caddy (2007) + Is God Is, The Origin of LaToya
May 2701:25:34Tap to summarizeVincent and Len debate the merits of a new way to determine the ‘blackness’ of a film, with an old friend coming home. Vincent is dazzled by the talented Kara Young as she burns up the screen in Is God Is and I Love Boosters. The Men of Micheaux try to break down the etymology of ‘LaToya’ (as in Jackson), and then, regretfully, they review 2007’s Who’s Your Caddy, which is perhaps the “Godfather” of the Don Michael Paul filmography.
