The Men of Micheaux remember when Muhammad Ali beat the brakes off of Superman, and a listener has an addendum for It’s a Black Black Black Black World. The Men also pitch a new Rewatch podcast for the culture. Vincent goes Six Degrees of D’urville to actors John Hurt and Rachel Weisz. And Barry Jenkins makes a hell of a debut in 2008’s Medicine For Melancholy.

The Men of Micheaux discover actor Sally Kirkland is doing well and making new movies. Len has a mini-review of Predator: Badlands. A listener throws catnip at one of the Men by asking them to Black-cast the 1963 classic "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." Then a month of l'amour kicks off with a review of the 200o HBO adaptation of Terry McMillian's Disappearing Acts, featuring the incredible chemistry of Wesley Snipes and Sanaa Lathan and the knowing direction of Gina Prince-Bythewood.

Vincent teaches Len an important Halloween candy in time. Then Len reveals the Top Five of horrible Horror Mothers to Vincent. Vincent then tries to connect D'urville Martin to two legends from Len's collection of "Ol' Timey Actors" — David Niven and Joan Crawford. Finally, the Men of Micheaux relive the goofy, eerie lesson of Oscar winners Octavia Spencer and Alison Janney in 2019's Blumhouse cult sweetheart.

Artist/Podcaster Wi-Moto Nyoka (Black Women Are Scary) steps onto the Mission with memories of podcasts as intimate affairs for the ears, not the eyes. A listener asks for Len's reaction to The Last Dragon returning to theaters for its 40th-anniversary run, and Len responds. The Men of Micheaux and Wi-Moto share their ideas for original horror films of their own and then review the "werewolf drama" that's one part Brazil, one part France, one part Portuguese, and all parts intense.

The Mission remembers 21st-Century soul legend D’Angelo (and actress Diane Keaton), and Len makes Vincent think about 70s TV-film actress Sally Kirkland (The Sting, JFK) in Six Degrees— because somebody has to. Then, The Men share their thoughts on writer/director Anu Valia’s We Strangers, aka “Not A Horror Movie.”

Vincent and Len remember voice actress Kimberly Gregory, which leads to high praise for Craig of the Creek. Then, they debate which movie franchises should 'give it up' after they watch Tron: Ares. Then a listener challenges the hosts to recast the 80s Whoopi classic Jumpin' Jack Flash before connecting D'urville Martin to two legendary film monsters and reviewing the Frankenstein reimagining told from the perspective of a determined, intelligent, and angry Black girl.

Cartoonist Ben Passmore (BTTM FDRS) shares his moment of activation into anarchy and connects it to his new graphic novel, Black Arms To Hold You Up. That seamlessly leads into a review of the compelling 2017 documentary about life in Ferguson during the BLM movement. Vincent explores Six Degrees of separation within the career of 'the white guy in Enter The Dragon,' and Ben and The Men use Silver Convention's Fly Robin Fly to soundtrack a movie.

The Missionaries has Vincent and Len combing through the history of Black Teen actors in the 1980s and the origin of the Buddy-Cop genre (would you believe 1974?). They shower respect and flowers on the career of Lorriane Toussaint while questioning the legacy of Nell Carter. Vincent asks, "Who's Dean Jones?" Then, the Men of Micheaux are a couple of flies on the wall for director RaMell Ross's visual poem about small towns in Alabama.

We remember Terrence Crawford vs. Canelo Alvarez. We go on a Vision Quest for some reason still unknown. One of us finds out about Robert Redford's passing. We examine the darkness of Happy Feet. And we have reviews (and lyrics) to go for A Tribe Called Quest and director Michael Rapaport.

Vincent and Len marvel at THE LIFE AND CRIMES OF DORIS PAYNE, an 80-year-old jewel thief on absolutely unrepentant glory. But first they partake in recasting of Sinners circa the 90s, suggested by a listener, and unveil a new feature dedicated to celebrating the under-celebrated Black actresses of yesterday and today - With/And - beginning with Fredi Washington, who lived anything but an Imitation of Life. Six Degrees of D'urville Martin connects the blaxploitation legend with Hollywood burglars Cary Grant and Michael Madsen.
