Director of the oldest known surviving black directed film "Within our Gates," director of the first silent film from a black director "The Exile," and a seminal artist of the Harlem Renaissance. While many of the early silent films from black directors have been lost, Micheaux's catalogue in one of the few remaining that offers a glimpse into the world of black America at the turn of the century.

Yo guys. I'm an unpaid intern fresh out of Harvard Law School. My name is Dwight D. Shortbottom. These two brothers (they aren't even brothers! They met in a line to watch Avengers 2) hired me to make up these stupid Episode Summaries for them under the false pretense that they know Judge Judy, and now I'm stuck because I didn't read the "entire" contract. I'm fresh out of college. Sue me. (Please don't). Now I'm stuck in dark room with a 2007 Macbook and the original negative of 1960s "Dr. Dolittle" (I think it might be priceless). Anyway, I just found out they never read these, so I'm going to start using this as a platform to help me escape. I'll give you the film, if you help me.

Aired a few days after the Biden 2021 inauguration, the Brother are high on life as they discuss the Bernie meme (that's hopefully dead by now), morn the loss of Bee Movie actor Larry King, and discuss all the Hollywood Backlistings due to the Red (and Lavender) Scare from the 40s and 50s, culminating in the infamous McCarthy trials.

From Un Chien Andalou to That Obscure Object of Desire, we go over everything from his spy days in the Spanish Civil War to his attempted shooting of Salvador Dali. The Spanish surrealist who moved to Mexico, Luis Bunuel!

Great Gatsby is now in the public domain! You know what that means? Muppet version coming soon! In the meantime while The Jim Henson Company figures that out, join the brothers while they talk about the wonderful world of public domain.

(also heads up, the storming of the Capitol had just happened and Sam was a little verklempt)

The brothers go over some of their favorite episodes of this rollercoaster of a year, 2020.

In this lost tape we find Dudly Kay-Pax and Ishmael at the 1904 Premiere at Loews Theaters in Cincinnati, Ohio. Sadly the two fellows have parted ways since the last tape, but there may be hope yet! Guests include greedy banker, Andrew Mellon, a 19 year old Louis B. Mayer, and an ambitious Alice Guy (the first woman director). Take a gander at the last episode of season 4 and of this hellscape of a year 2020!

The brothers discuss the filmography and biography of the late great French director Jean Renoir known for "The Grande Illusion," "The Rules of the Game," "The River," and many others.

From the Judgment at Nuremberg to My Cousin Vinny, the brothers discuss the classic court room dramas. Also special shoutout to Bosnia and Herzegovina where our show is the #7 film and TV podcast in the country! Bosnian tour as soon as Covid is over.
