About this listen

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! Art

  • Imitation Of Life (1959)
    Jan 22 2026

    The Men of Micheaux reminisce about their shared love of foundational anime staples of the 1970s, such as Star Blazers and Battle of the Planets. Then, after doing Six Degrees of D'Urvile to the legendary Lana Turner and the underused Juanita Moore, Vincent becomes perplexed by Len's out-of-the-blue DVD-versus-SDJ comparison. Finally, the Men review the 1959 remake of a classic tale that exceeds its reach aesthetically if not culturally.

  • Pinky (1949)
    Jan 15 2026

    Vincent and Len discuss the late T.K. Carter, finding previously unseen racism in their favorite movies, asshole comedians (or comedians’ assholes?), Bill Murray, Chris Rock, The Breakfast Club, and the un-passing hiding inside of 1949’s Pinky besides the film’s three Academy Award-nominated performances.
