In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

If you're feeling generous you could call today's episode a mash-up, or more accurately, the remnants of a couple of different music related ideas that never quite gelled into a full episode. It was resurfaced recently in the morass of my mind by the sad passing of rap-man DMX, rendering him unable to deliver to ya. Alternate delivery services must now be sought. He was also the poster child of an idea for covering films where the soundtrack is significantly better than the film it came from, but seeing as that is perhaps limited entirely to _Cradle 2 the Grave_, perhaps that's best left to a Jet Li retrospective. But it also brings to mind the crossover between musicians and actors, going back arguably to the dawn of "Talkies", through the Rat Pack, The Beatles and Elvis up to modern times, leveraging their celebrity in one field for success in another. That's a bit vague, though, but it does lead to the rat hole of musician's vanity projects, also recently brought to mind by the opprobrium levelled at Sia's Golden Raspberry winning film _Music_. There's a little of the spirit of that in this selection of films, and the other primary thrust here is films where the artists life and career reflect in the film that they are in. A shorter, but no less coherent introduction might simply have been to say "here's a bunch of music related films", but, gentle reader, I have no respect for your time. So tune in for our reviews of A Hard Day’s Night, Pink Floyd: The Wall, Purple Rain, Moonwalker, Honest, and 8 Mile.
