Number 2: Concerning Violence (2014) + Diarra From Detroit, Van Helsing, Speed Racer
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.

Number 3: Thelonious Monk Straight No Chaser (1988) + Bokeem Like Jazz, The Next John Stewart, Demon Sammy
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.

Number 4: The Jackie Shane Story (2024) + Lanterns Is The Blackest Night on TV
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.

A discussion of Dolly’s Rhineheart devolves into a stupid vs. stupid match between Stallone’s Cliffhanger and Cobra. Then the legacy of The Wire is determined by the cinéma vérité of director Charles Stone III’s Paid In Full. We're making video versions of our reviews!
