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

  • 483 - Deep Blue Sea (1999)
    Apr 8 2026

    The Men of Micheaux return to discuss the cancellation of Star Trek Starfleet Academy after one season and the fate of the Star Trek franchise going forward. Then they cast a remake of 1975's Mahogany as they search for actor with the "iconic" shine of Diana Ross. After long overdue tahnks to the patrons of Patreon, Vincent goes Six Degrees to the stars of The Deep and The Abyss. Finally, the Men land at their review of the dumb-fun B movie of 1999, Deep Blue Sea, which features two classic scenes of (Black) cinema history.

  • Trepass (1992)
    Mar 25 2026

    The Men of Micheaux discuss Jon Hamm's villain turn in Hulu's Fargo and which R&B remake gets the Vincent OKAY that 90s faves Jodeci (Lately) and Intro (Ribbon In The Sky) will never get. Then -- 10 minutes on Stoney Jackson happens for reasons and TREPASS is a really, really fun movie worth rediscovering.

  • The Glass Shield (1994)
    Mar 18 2026

    Vincent is 'disappointed' in the Missionaries and their love of "random 90s music by 80s greats" while he pulls out his wallet. The Men of Micheaux question if Oscar-winner Michael B. Jordan is the next Denzel Washington. We go Six Degrees to the unflappable Oliver Platt and Lois Lane (?). Finally, we review writer-director Charles Burnett's THE GLASS SHIELD, which pulls off one of the biggest fakeouts in movie advertising history and reveals the Tommy Hicks multiverse of films.
