Micheaux Mission

The Men of Micheaux honor the passing of singer Freddie Jackson and actors Eva Marie Saint, Tom Skerritt, and Sir Patrick Stewart, while saving much shrapnel for poor Walter Koenig. Len pitches a Requiem for a Soul Plane. They chat about ambiguous movies, Nicole Kidman, and the economics of Roger (Andre Holland) in Love, Brooklyn.

A listener introduces the Men of Micheaux to an amazing historical artifact from 1898 - A Negro's Kiss - that puts Black joy front and center for the world to see. Carrie, Salem's Lot, Cujo? What is the favorite Stephen King movie, and which one made Len change the way he walked home every day? Who's TV's Jodie Foster: Tatum O'Neal or Kristi McNichol? They talk about Rodney Allen Rippy, but they remember Gracie Allen. And Len and Vincent think all the fans of the Leprechaun series fell in love with THIS film.

Check out Something Good, Negro Kiss (1898)

Due to technical difficulties, we present a Micheaux Mission Throwback to Bootober 2024, when Vincent and Len reviewed the college-bound ghost tale MASTER, starring Mission fave Regina Hall. Plus, the Men of Micheaux track down the last great Black comedy, debate historic figures worthy of a biopic AND a documentary, and it's the Top Five (remember that?) Bad Race Horror Flicks; #1 is a must-see.

The Men of Micheaux give a mini-review of w/d Bassam Tariq's Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother, which stars Mahershala Ali flexing his Blade bona fides--literally. A listener makes her case for David Bowie earning at least a plate at the cookout. We resonate with select horror films, find out who Khris Davis is, and lament that we have to review the lamentable Leprechaun In The Hood.

The world gets to see just how great Tony Award-winning actress Kara Young can be offstage as she steals the show from Sterling K.

The NY Times lists the 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century, and Vincent HAS TO KNOW where Friday Night Lights landed.

Len and Vincent review the 2012 documentary that interrogates our relationship with food while providing closure for the director and his departed father. Vincent offers a sincere apology and a full recommendation for the reboot of A Different World, then takes us back to 1987 to discuss how different the world was at its start. The Men of Micheaux try to name the white celebrities that all of the diaspora effs with. And there are big changes coming to Patreon.

The Men of Micheaux got nothin’ but love for Paramount’s DIARRA FROM DETROIT, except for one casting sticking point. Then they share why VAN HELSING and SPEED RACER are secretly bad-good films. Vincent goes Six Degrees to Lauries London and Linney, and Len is moved by Lauren Hill’s evocative narration on CONCERNING VIOLENCE, a piercing documentary detailing Africa’s fight for decolonization in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

Vincent has unearthed a devilish 70s artifact featuring the late Sammy Davis Jr., who played a bumbling demon opposite Jack Klugman’s Poor Devil. Our review last week of The Jackie Shane Story elicited touching responses from the Missionaries and sparked Len’s search for the Black actor who holds their own space just as confidently among their peers. Hello, Bokeem Woodbine! The Men of Micheaux ponder who will be the next John Stewart, play the hits going Six Degrees to jazz greats Dexter Gordon and Ella Fitzgerald, and marvel at the eclectic genius of Thelonious Monk.

The Men of Micheaux remember the stellar (petrifying) work of the late Tim Curry, including his greatest what-if. With its third episode, HBO Max and DC Studios’ Lanterns brings the Blackest Night to light on TV since Watchmen (no coincidence). Len sends Vincent Six Degrees toward Elliot Page and Suzy Eddie Izzard. Then we join the world in the delightful discovery of 2016, the transgressive, transformative, fully realized Jackie Shane in all her 50s-60s glory, in the Canadian documentary Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story.
