Black on Black Cinema tackles Trump's ongoing assault on American landmarks. The East Wing of the White House was abruptly demolished last October, sparking legal battles over the approval process. Now the Kennedy Center is facing demolition threats over his childish desire to have his name on the building. The historic East Potomac cherry blossom grove; a 1912 gift from Japan is at real risk as Trump terminates a 50-year lease to build a "championship" golf course, with debris from the demolished East Wing literally dumped on the same site. The Lincoln Memorial's Reflecting Pool sits in disarray after a botched, unbid renovation.We ask the harder question: why does this president's legacy consistently manifest as destruction rather than creation? And as Black people, we sit with the real complexity here, many of these landmarks were built by enslaved people, monuments to a history that never fully included us. Is preservation even our fight? We land somewhere honest: this is still our country, our history, our capital, and watching it get torn down for spite and a golf handicap isn't something we're willing to be apathetic about, however complicated our relationship to these buildings really is.The next film to be review will be "I Love Boosters," written and directed by Boots Riley. The film follows a group of shoplifters who take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven by stealing her clothes and reselling them at a lower price, what they call "fashion-forward philanthropy."Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to break its one rule, NO MORE TYLER PERRY MOVIES. This decision came only because of "Why Did I Get Married Again?" is the final movie(?) in this Tyler Perry trilogy, and the other two in the series were previously reviewed (and we actually enjoyed the first one). So this film follows the children of the main characters in the series and as two of the kids are getting married. The film aims to show the character development of the cast that we've been following for almost 20 years.

This Week, Jimmy and Larry are coming to you live from a decommissioned bank on Wall Street after our screening of Spike Lee's 2009 classic 'Inside Man' (2006), hitting the stage with The New Yorker's Naomi Fry to talk about the film, if we could do a heist, and what we were wearing 20 years ago.

Black on Black Cinema breaks down Raven-Symone's resurfaced comments questioning whether her own iconic character, Raven Baxter from That's So Raven, was actually Black. On her podcast Tea Time, Raven told Kalen Allen, "Take away the color, make them green, and hear the words. What color are they?," challenging the idea that the show's Blackness was inherent rather than just visual.The internet had immediate and strong reactions. Fans pointed to the show's entire episode about racial profiling, Tonya's locs, Victor's soul food references, Cory's Black history paper storyline, and Della Reese's jazz singer character as clear, undeniable markers of Black identity woven directly into the writing, not just the casting.We break down both sides of this: is Raven making a nuanced point about Blackness not being monolithic, or is she minimizing a show that meant something real to a generation of Black kids who rarely saw themselves centered on Disney Channel?The next film to be reviewed is Tyler Perry's upcoming third movie in the "Why Did I Get Married trilogy." We will be breaking our promise about no more Tyler Perry films to review "Why Did I Get Married Again?" which reunites most of the original cast for one last wild time.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

Black on Black Cinema tackles Chameleon Street (1989), Wendell B. Harris Jr.'s astonishing writer-director-star debut based on the true story of Detroit con artist William Douglas Street Jr., who successfully impersonated reporters, lawyers, an Ivy League exchange student, and even a surgeon, performing over 30 real hysterectomies without any medical training. The film won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 1990, beating out Reservoir Dogs, and then inexplicably went without distribution for over a year, effectively burying Harris's career before it started.The concept is genuinely brilliant, a razor-sharp satire about race, class, and identity performance in America, anchored by a magnetic, one-of-a-kind lead performance from Harris himself. But the execution is a different story. The film is tonally unpredictable, structurally chaotic, and at times narratively difficult to follow, swinging wildly between avant-garde experimentation and straightforward biopic beats without clear rhythm. We break down what makes Chameleon Street a genuine one-of-a-kind vision worth seeking out, where the filmmaking gets in its own way, and why this would be ripe for a modern remake with better structure and focus.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

We welcome first-time guest Kyle Flynn to continue our series "Mic on Fire," covering the films of Denzel Washington, and dive deep into Spike Lee's 1992 epic, MALCOLM X. We get into Denzel's prep for the role, Spike's fight to make it himself, how he blew through the studio's budget to actually shoot in Egypt, Terence Blanchard's score, and why this might be the most complete marriage of director, actor, and subject in movie history. Plus: our favorite scenes, the most iconic shots, and some outrage over the Oscar snubs.

Brad's latest movie education comes in the form of "Do The Right Thing," the 1989 Spike Lee classic.

Black on Black Cinema breaks down the National Association of Black Journalists giving Stephen A. Smith its "Thumbs Down" award, reserved for commentary the organization considers especially insensitive, stereotypical, or at odds with NABJ's mission around fair representation of the Black community. NABJ's statement specifically cited Smith's recurring pattern of disparaging commentary toward prominent Black women across politics, sports, and media, saying it reinforces harmful narratives and undermines fair, respectful representation.We agree with NABJ here, and we break down exactly why. Smith has spent years building a media empire on saying whatever gets a reaction, and his commentary toward Black women specifically has followed a consistent, well documented pattern that deserves scrutiny; not just from critics online, but from an organization built to hold Black media figures accountable to Black communities. Smith's response was predictably combative, essentially promising retaliation on his platform. He even ran to Fox News' Sean Hannity to make his thoughts known. A curious platform if he is trying to reach Black people...hmmm. We discuss why that reaction proves NABJ's point more than it disproves it, what accountability from within the profession actually looks like, and why Smith's expanding political platform makes this moment even more significant.We also announce the next film to be reviewed which is the 1989 film "Chameleon Street" which follows a social chameleon who impersonates reporters, doctors and lawyers in order to make money.

“I'm not a one-man woman.” Join Ian & Megs for our 343rd episode as we head to Brooklyn for Spike Lee's audacious, provocative, micro-budget debut She's Gotta Have It (1986). It's sex, independence, competing egos, and three men absolutely convinced they should be the answer to a question Nola Darling never asked. Liam isn't with us this week — Nola told him she wasn't interested in exclusivity and he's been drafting a rebuttal ever since. Kev? He heard Mars Blackmon say “Please, baby, please” and has disappeared to practise his technique. This week we discuss: Who exactly are we supposed to like in this film? Nola, Jamie, Greer, Mars — everyone gets their moments, but are there actually any genuinely likeable characters in She's Gotta Have It? Tracy Camilla Johns as Nola Darling — independent, sexually confident, complicated and occasionally deeply frustrating. How radical was this protagonist in 1986, and how does she play almost forty years later? That Thanksgiving dinner. Inviting all three men you're sleeping with to the same Thanksgiving meal is certainly a choice — but is Nola being liberated, honest and refusing to hide, or is she actually being unnecessarily cruel? The acting is... a moving target. From genuinely effective performances to line readings that wouldn't survive an amateur theatre rehearsal, the quality fluctuates wildly — so why does the film somehow remain completely compelling? Spike Lee's extraordinary debut — made with virtually no money and enormous ambition. Does the roughness actually become part of the film's charm rather than something we need to forgive? Jamie, Greer and Mars — three wildly different approaches to masculinity, yet all three ultimately want Nola to change for them. Does any one of them actually understand her? Spike Lee as Mars Blackmon — annoying, hilarious, insecure, endlessly quotable and somehow destined to become bigger than the film itself. Megs explores Nola's agency — is the film genuinely celebrating a woman refusing to conform to expectations, or can Nola's independence occasionally become an excuse for treating other people badly? Ian questions the film's internal logic — particularly that ending. Nola and Jamie's final scene seems constructed exactly like the climax of a romantic comedy: she's lost the guy, walks away, he calls her back and gives her another chance. Everything about the cinematic language tells us this is the outcome we're supposed to want... until the film suddenly tells us it wasn't. The final confessional — previous confessionals lead into events that we actually witness. So why does the most important one simply tell us that everything went differently without ever showing it? And what about Nola's vow of celibacy? Is it genuine growth, or such a rejection of her defining characteristic that it feels like the film suddenly lost confidence in its own ending? Does the finale feel rewritten? There's no smoking gun proving that it was, but Ian makes the case that the internal logic, characterisation and sudden reliance on “tell, don't show” make those final minutes feel suspiciously like a late attempt to change what the audience takes away from the film. The film's sexual politics in 2026 — what's still strikingly progressive, what's become considerably more complicated, and how does one deeply troubling sequence change our relationship with Jamie and everything that follows? The black-and-white photography and that sudden explosion of colour — necessity becoming aesthetic, and the first signs of the extraordinarily confident visual filmmaker Spike Lee would become. And finally, whether She's Gotta Have It is the Best Film Ever — or a messy, inconsistent, sometimes infuriating debut that somehow shines brighter than many considerably more polished films.

Nesta edição do podcast Em Foco, nós analisamos "Ela Quer Tudo" (She's Gotta Have It, 1986), primeiro longa-metragem de Spike Lee ("Faça a Coisa Certa", "Infiltrado na Klan"). Este episódio especial celebra os 40 anos de lançamento do filme e traz uma entrevista exclusiva com o próprio Spike Lee. Selecionado para a Quinzena dos Realizadores no Festival de Cannes e premiado no Independent Spirit Awards, "Ela Quer Tudo" tem como protagonista Nola Darling, uma artista independente do Brooklyn, em Nova York, que se mantém fiel a si mesma e recusa as regras tradicionais da sociedade ao se relacionar com três homens ao mesmo tempo. Ela é interpretada por Tracy Camilla Johns e seus namorados são vividos por Tommy Redmond Hicks, John Canada Terrell e Spike Lee. Uma das estreias mais impressionantes de diretores de todos os tempos, "Ela Quer Tudo" chama a atenção pela discussão feminista sobre liberdade sexual e pela representação de personagens negros fora de estereótipos de violência e miséria. Ao mesmo tempo, é um filme bem-humorado e um deleite para os olhos e ouvidos, com Spike Lee esbanjando estilo na construção de sequências inventivas e de uma narrativa envolvente e moderna (com referências que vão de "Rashomon" a "O Mágico de Oz"), embalada pela trilha sonora de jazz composta pelo lendário músico Bill Lee, pai do cineasta.

Há tensão naquela primeira metade é claro, mas eu tive a impressão de que você quis tentar algo diferente ali, indo mais fundo no drama. Essa era a sua intenção? Spike Lee: Bem, eu não sei se posso dizer realmente que... Quero dizer, a minha intenção é sempre contar a melhor história que eu posso. E mesmo na fonte original, o filme de Akira Kurosawa, “Céu e Inferno”, as coisas realmente não começam a ficar movimentadas até o dinheiro ser pago. Digo, o dinheiro do resgate. E neste filme são $17,5 milhões de francos suíços. Então, você tem que reservar um tempo para estabelecer isso. E uma vez que está estabelecido, é quando Denzel, o personagem que ele interpreta, deixa sua cobertura e vai para o metrô. Então, eles descem lá e é aí que o filme realmente decola. Então, nós sabíamos que para chegar ali teríamos que estabelecer as bases primeiro. Cinematório: Com certeza. E já que a primeira adaptação do livro de Evan Hunter foi feita por Kurosawa, eu gostaria de saber como Kurosawa inspirou você como cineasta? Spike Lee: Minha inspiração como cineasta veio de, grande parte, do meu primeiro ano estudando na Escola de Cinema de Nova York, onde Ernest Dickerson, meu diretor de fotografia de longa data, e Ang Lee éramos colegas de sala. Foi lá que eu realmente fui apresentado ao cinema mundial. E a premissa de “Rashomon” eu usei no meu primeiro longa-metragem, “Ela Quer Tudo”. E como você pode ver, esta foto [aponta para a parede] foi autografada pelo mestre. Então, na sala de edição, imagino que ele está sempre olhando por cima do meu ombro! [risos] E eu perguntaria pra ele: “Como estamos indo, senhor? Como estamos? Está ficando bom?” E ele me daria o polegar para cima! [risos] Cinematório: Maravilhoso! E você poderia falar sobre a música? Tanto a música escrita e cantada por Ayanna, que é linda, e a música composta por Howard Drossin, que me pareceu tão épica para um drama tão pessoal. Spike Lee: Bem, a música é uma das ferramentas mais importantes que tenho na minha caixa. Para melhor ou pior, dependendo de quem são as pessoas, para mim a música é tão importante quanto a fotografia, a montagem, a direção de arte, o figurino. É uma ótima ferramenta se você usá-la corretamente. E para mim nunca foi apenas sobre fazer uso da música como se fosse uma jukebox onde você pega um monte de músicas de sucesso e põe para tocar, a menos que seja talvez em um filme de época. Um filme que se passe em uma determinada época. Mas eu amo música. E eu conheço o poder da música. Porque eu sei, veja bem, o público no cinema não sabe como uma cena fica sem a música e depois com a música... E eu sei o que estou fazendo sem a música. É uma ferramenta, da mesma forma que as outras que eu mencionei, fotografia, montagem... É uma ferramenta para contar a sua história. -- O podcast Em Foco é produzido e apresentado por Renato Silveira e Kel Gomes, editores do cinematório.

Three days after Nolan Wells' body was found, Ben Crump flew to New York for a press conference with Al Sharpton. Then the circus moved to Mississippi, where Sharpton eulogized a boy he never knew. And this morning it landed in Chicago — where Crump announced the autopsy HE paid for from the stage of the NAACP Convention. Along the way, he has picked up a band: Tyler Perry, Spike Lee, Terrell Owens, Hakeem Jeffries, and Stephen A. Smith. Jason Whitlock breaks down how a family's tragedy became a three-city traveling road show — and why the louder the circus gets, the farther justice slips away. ➢ Show Outline 00:00 - The Emmett Till Playbook 01:00 - The Circus Begins 01:46 - What We Know About Nolan Wells 03:18 - The Tour Dates of the Circus 05:17 - Following the Money Trail 06:14 - The Assembled Band 07:20 - Stephen A.

In this episode, Anna and Derek debate if Mookie deserves to be on the receiving end of Tina's wrath, why Pino is just the worst, and much more during their discussion of the Spike Lee masterpiece Do the Right Thing (1989).Connect with '80s Movie Montage on Facebook, Bluesky or Instagram! It's the same handle for all three... @80smontagepod.Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage. The idea for the podcast came when they realized just how much they talk – a lot – when watching films from their favorite cinematic era. Their wedding theme was “a light nod to the ‘80s,” so there's that, too. Both hail from the Midwest but have called Los Angeles home for several years now. Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies. It is a point of pride that most of their podcast episodes are longer than the movies they cover.We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.

Welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions with Jason P. Woodbury. Near the end of his latest LP Indigo Park, our guest this week, Bruce Hornsby, sings something of a conclusion. Or perhaps, a belated introduction: "I've been seeking magical thinking/I think I detect a trend/This could be the start of something/Or this could be an end." The lyric isn't cited to suggest the 71-year-old songwriter is going anywhere. If anything, Indigo Park speaks to the hot streak Hornsby's been on since 2019's Absolute Zero. With that album, he began mining his vast bank of musical cues created for various projects with his longtime collaborator Spike Lee, crafting them into full songs. To his surprise, these late period albums caught the attention of fans of adventurous music, his reputation bolstered by artists like Bon Iver, Vampire Weekend, Haim, and others citing Hornsby as an elder statesman. Recorded with co-producers Tony Berg and Will Maclellan at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles and The Large Cloth-Eared Collider in Williamsburg, Virginia, Indigo Park demonstrates just how unexpectedly Hornsby operates.  From the chiming folk rock of the title track to the Bonnie Raitt-assisted art pop of "Ecstatic" to "Might As Well Be Me, Florinda," a woozy duet with the late Bob Weir aided by the sparking guitar of Blake Mills and Pino Palladino's liquid metal bass, the album showcases Hornsby's vast—ahem—range. At once funny, poignant, and audacious, it's a gem, one of my favorite records of 2026.   Earlier this year, Aquarium Drunkard caught up with him to discuss the album, basketball chants, his work with The Grateful Dead and the Dead's legacy, his taste in literary fiction, and much more. We published a condensed and edited version of this interview in print on Aquarium Drunkard back in April, but now, we're pleased to present the full chat in the podcast feed—complete with an exclusive piano performance that sonically illustrates Hornsby's Protestant hymn-soaked youth in Christian Science congregation.

This week on Black on Black Cinema we break down the collapse of Graham Platner's Maine Senate campaign and why none of us were surprised. For months, white leftists rallied behind Platner despite a tattoo associated with WW2 fascism, resurfaced posts disparaging veterans and sexual assault survivors on Reddit, and troubling accounts from past relationships. None of it mattered until an ex-girlfriend came forward with a serious sexual assault allegation, and only then did the Democratic Party's left wing scramble to distance themselves and Platner suspended his campaign.We ask the real question: why did it take THIS allegation to move people who already had every reason to walk away months ago? We break down how "winning at all costs" politics let a deeply flawed candidate skate through a primary while the warning signs sat in plain sight, and what this says about who gets the benefit of the doubt and for how long.Then we announce our next film: Stepfather (2026), Chris Stokes' Tubi thriller starring Taye Diggs as a man obsessed with building the "perfect family." We preview what to expect from Diggs' performance and Stokes' latest entry into his growing catalog of Tubi originals.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.
