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? Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

The Good Brothers are back once again with another Static Shock review, this week with the season 4 caper that finds Static up against a scarlet speedster (but not THE Scarlet Speedster) in the episode "Now You See Him..." The hosts break down a plot the borrows some similar tech from a Batman The Animated Series episode with a bit of romance and Revenge of the Nerds thrown in, plus music that homages 80s alt-rock and 90s pop punk and a villain voiced by an actor typically found in a galaxy far, far away!

Depending on your current location the weather outside may or may not be frightful, but a new episode of the DCAU Review is always delightful. This week the Good Brothers are discussing the second full-length feature film of the original Batman: The Animated Series run with the chilling title "Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero." The hosts discuss a bit of the history of the movie, how its' predecessor Mask of the Phantasm cast a large shadow, where the main crew had moved on and how the movie came about based on some attempted corporate synergy. The hosts discuss how the plot attempted to focus on Robin and Batgirl with mixed results, the use of the most state-of-the-art CGI animation that 1997 had to offer and why the movie's delay caused some confusion on whether the movie was canon to BTAS at all to a young Cal and Liam. The hosts also discuss the decision to start from scratch with the soundtrack vs. sticking with the established themes, another new voice actress for Batgirl and the ultimate legacy of this film in the DCAU zeitgeist.
