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

    Jun 17 2026

    Vincent and Len ponder the success rate of legacy reboots such as Bad Boys, What’s Happening Now, and King of the Hill. They share a brief glimpse into What They’ve Been Watching and go Six Degrees to 50 Cent and Aaliyah. Then, the Men of Micheaux settle in for separate views on writer-director Melvin Van Peeples’ Don’t Play Us Cheap, which begs the question - WTF?

  • MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM (2020) + PEABO REMEMBERED, A DIFF'RENT WORLD AGAIN, WHO HAS POE?
    Jun 10 2026

    We remember Peabo Bryson, Phyllis Hyman, and Chadwick Boseman—all gone too soon, leaving behind legendary work, including Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. We also debate the merits of A Diff'rent World redux, the Philly bona fides of the late Pearl Bailey and Edgar Allan Poe, and the funky jazz of Charlie Brown.

  • CB4 (1993) + WELCOME TO THE CHARLIE MURPHY EXPERIENCE + MORE KHANDI PLEASE
    Jun 3 2026

    The Men of Micheaux settle in to review 1993's CB4, marveling at the many gifts of Khandi Alexander on display and underutilized. They also remember what it was like to behold the Charlie Murphy experience for the first time and the understated brilliance of Phil Hartman and Chris Elliott. And then there's the Allen Payne of it all and, of course, Chris Rock. Before he was Chris Rock, he was Chris Rock.
