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 ...

Learn about the differences between Alzheimer's and dementia, and how Alzheimer's disease progresses. We talk about why catching the disease early can make a big difference. Dr. Sharon Cohen and Dr. Yaakov Stern walk us through the stages of Alzheimer's disease, from when there are no symptoms to when memory issues start to show. They explain the stages of Alzheimer’s and how it develops over time. We also hear from Kelly, who explains her personal experiences and concerns about developing Alzheimer’s, and what she does about it.

×Dirty fingernails abound as we journey back to the 50s, a simpler time when people were still figuring out basic grooming. How do you use a toothbrush? Look, it’s complicated. Thrill as we gasp out loud at the extreme levels of sexism in what is secretly a sock fetish film! Chill as we feel uncomfortable when the teens who were cast to play siblings have a little too much on-screen chemistry! We’re discovering the true meanings of cave paintings, pondering whether children were more stinky 70 years, reporting a creepy old invisible woman stalking children, and wondering why every man in the 50s was named Stanley. What’s the secret to living up to these high standards of personal care? To quote one of these films, plenty of gentle rubbing is all it takes! We're suffering through and reporting back on the perplexingly specific Keep It Clean: Vintage Hygiene Films , available to stream for free for Amazon Prime members.

Ah, 2016. It was a simpler time when Americans had nothing to fear but killer clowns. And that, according to this documentary, is all thanks to Wrinkles the Clown. He’s a 65-year-old Florida man, an internet star gone viral, and a questionable tool parents can use to discipline their children. When the documentary unmasks its monster like a clumsy episode of Scooby Doo, we’ll question everything we were told, wade through the last third of a very boring documentary waiting for the point, and determine that while most of what we were told about Wrinkles is a lie, that part about him being a tool is certainly true. Along the way we’ll witness a parade of scared children, from Kayla, a very young girl whose dad has asked Wrinkles to eat her, to Rena, a girl ready to fight Wrinkles with her momma and her dog Halo, to Jarrett, a boy who has been inspired by Wrinkles to get his own creepy clown mask and plastic knife, to Sean, who has stuffed his closet with empty boxes and removed his box spring to reduce the ways Wrinkles can get to him. We’re also reliving some of our own childhood fears, visiting a “real” clown who doth protest too much about clowns being scary, and bemoaning the lack of positive clown role models for kids these days. We were down to clown, but after this documentary that may never happen again. We’re suffering through and reporting back on Wrinkles the Clown , available to stream on Hulu.

Meet Jackie Siegel. Jackie’s a former IBM engineer, a former Mrs. Florida, and she might be on her way to being a former Mrs. Siegel if her husband makes good on his threats to trade her in for multiple 20-year-olds. Speaking of her husband, meet David Siegel. David is a self-made billionaire with a thing for pageant girls and cheap bank loans that have allowed him to build a timeshare empire on the backs of Walmart shoppers. Together they’ll face the challenge of feeling cramped in their 26,000 sq ft house by building the largest single-family home under one roof in America. The 90,000 sq. ft. monstrosity modeled after Versailles and a Vegas casino is off to a great start… until the stock market crash of 2008 makes all of David’s imaginary money finally disappear. Witness the hardship of only being able to give each of your children a single shopping cart overflowing with toys on Christmas. Thrill as a trophy wife forced to reacquaint herself with flying commercial endures the shock of her Hertz rental car not coming with a driver. Shed a tear as you see so much money spent on so many stupid things. The ony thing going for this documentary is that by the end of it, there will be one less billionaire in the world. (He’s still alive and kicking. He just loses a dang lot of money.) We’re suffering through and reporting back on The Queen of Versailles , available to stream on Hulu.

Meet Jeremiah, a self-styled auteur with a love for filmmaking but a seeming aversion to editing. Together with Troy, a paranormal investigator who is afraid of the dark, and his girlfriend Ashley, a woman who is nothing less or more than whelmed by the experience, the three hapless investigators will explore the second-most haunted house in Texas. Thrill as they use state-of-the-art gaming technology from 2005 to paint a skeleton on a large bouncy ball! Chill as they enter a psychedelic room or a psycho manic room or a Psycho Mantis room or whatever it’s called and see definitive proof of the paranormal that they didn’t bother to film! But be warned! As dumb as all of this appears to be, things are even dumber than they seem. We’re suffering through and reporting back on Whispers of the Unseen , available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. If you enjoy our podcast, please rate, review, subscribe, or tell a friend!

On this episode, we watch one of the most un-creatively named documentaries we’ve ever watched for this podcast. You know what? Screw it. Cue the orchestra. TWINE WARS Turmoil has engulfed the world of TWINE BALL rollers. For a generation, Francis and Frank, two twine ball rollers of noble ambition, have battled for the distinction of creating THE WORLD’S LARGEST BALL OF TWINE. Upon Frank’s passing, his Kansas home town relocates the ball to the town square and uses an army of people and spools of store-bought twine in an attempt to seize the WORLD RECORD and create an attraction even more fun than a murder house. But are they building a bigger ball, or are they building an obese POKEMON? When Francis dies years later, his nephew will also donate their ball to his home town. Unsure whether the town truly wants the ball and hoping to resolve the matter, EDWARD from Ripley’s Believe It or Not will travel to rural Minnesota and experience the darkest day of his life. He will emerge scorned and full of spite, ready to hate-buy an inferior ball of twine rolled more by machine than man. When you think you've seen it all, this documentary will have you believe there are three balls of twine. But no! There is another… Guest starring Weird Al, 9/11, a very questionable method for weight loss, and old fashioned American values like arson and censorship. We’re suffering through and reporting back on The World’s Largest Ball of Twine, available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. If you enjoy our podcast, please rate, review, subscribe, or tell a friend!

Four unlucky-in-love men have given up on American women and traveled half-way across the globe to Ukraine. Led by John (not just the president, but also a client), and Bob (tour director of the damned), they’ll attend a dance club that might actually be a Ukrainian baby shower, have a run in with a loan shark and corrupt law enforcement, introduce themselves to every woman in the room, and get engaged faster than you can say, “I’m not sure that’s the woman you’ve been emailing.” In fact, one of these men will actually get married before the end of the documentary. Will it be… Travis, a farmer from a town in Wisconsin with far more cows than women Eric, a man with an American flag hanging at the head of his bed and a gun closet the size of Texas Bobby, an HR guy with a heart of gold and a very deep desire to believe, OR Ron, a silver fox with surprisingly wholesome goals but zero game We’re vaguely defining the word “date,” witnessing the results of what happens when your culture says you should be married at 18 years of age, and pondering how all this worked before the age of the internet, but all of that is just foreplay for the most horrific kiss we’ve ever seen on film. We're suffering through and reporting back on Love Me , available to stream on Amazon Prime. If you enjoy our podcast, please rate, review, subscribe, or tell a friend!

In times like these, we could all use the comfort of a warm hairy embrace. It's time for another service at the Church of Bigfoot! When a young girl named Kiana sees a bear in the woods, it will inspire her to take the name “Bigfoot Girl” and launch her on a lifelong quest for a close encounter of the hairy kind. We were hoping for a documentary that would finally bring some gender parity to the field of Bigfoot studies, but we should have known better given the film’s Cinemax cover art. Instead, two men will suck all the oxygen out of the Canadian wilderness. Between James, a 238-pound podcaster and hipster icon who sees dead people, and Thomas, a Bigfoot experiencer who doubts everyone else’s Bigfoot experiences, only one documentary will make you wonder, “Where the @#$% is Bigfoot Girl?” We'll take long ferry rides and then long car rides and then go on long hikes to a secret camp so we can hear theological debates about whether Bigfoot is building structures. We'll also hear the story of two young lovers having a massive overreaction to a motionless bush. We’re tying cherries to trees because a psychic told us to, pondering whether a mystical fire can attract Bigfoot, telling the same stories multiple times, and finally coming up with a convincing theory of our own for why Bigfoot Girl is absent from her own film. In today's service, you'll learn that Bigfoot may or may not be a conscientious robber of coolers, and he may or may not be a classic Loony Tunes character, but Bigfoot absolutely is a role model for these times. We're suffering through and reporting back on Bigfoot Girl , available to stream on Hulu. If you enjoy our podcast, please rate, review, subscribe, or tell a friend!

Toads gone wild! It’s the 1930s and sugar is booming, particularly in North Queensland, Australia. But the farmers there have a problem: grubs are eating their crops. The Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations, desperate to get the farmers off their backs, attend the World Conference of Sugar Technologists in Puerto Rico and get the brilliant idea to import toads to Australia to eat the grubs and save the crops. The toads, rudely handled and unfed during their two-week journey, arrive in Queensland hungry, horny, and with a newfound resentment for Australia. We’ll learn why this all goes wrong, but not before we witness a scientist banging two toads together like Barbie and Ken dolls, are treated to an homage to Psycho and Night of the Living Dead, and sing some hymns while the toads screw. Thirteen years before he made The Natural History of the Chicken, documentary filmmaker Mark Lewis will use the cane toad as an excuse to create a movie that is one part ecological disaster, one part gross out horror comedy, one part toad porn set to an 80s Cinemax movie soundtrack, and one part subtle suggestion that an amphibian Necronomicon is responsible for the failure of the marriage between Prince Charles and Lady Diana. We’re suffering through and reporting back on Cane Toads: An Unnatural History , available to stream on YouTube. If you enjoy our podcast, please rate, review, subscribe, or tell a friend!

Meet John. And Matt. And Harper. And Nate. And another John. And Grey. And Dan. And Tyler. And Patrick. And another John. And…. Okay, let’s try this again. Meet Chris. He owns a parking lot, and in this movie we’re going to meet about twenty of his past and current parking lot attendants. From one cynical white male wannabe philosopher to the next cynical white male wannabe philosopher, thrill as cynical white male wannabe philosophers hate-park cars in what could have been called “Resentment: The Movie.” We’re diving deeper than the movie does into social issues, sharply disagreeing with a critic from the New York Times, and pondering if it’s the UVA students or their parents in that income tax bracket. But mostly we’re just trying to make it through all the depressing tedium so we can get to big rap number at the end. We’re suffering through and reporting back on The Parking Lot Movie , available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. If you enjoy our podcast, please rate, review, subscribe, or tell a friend!

When three very literal, very Catholic, very Canadian sisters decide getting sugar daddies might be their shortcut to financial success, what could go wrong? They’ll entice guys with photos of their pets, go on dates for free because they don’t know how to ask for money, and then sell themselves short by pointing out how the exchange rate means they could be paid less. Featuring a really, really, really disappointed mom (really), a juicylicious man who feels like the personification of a leisure suit, and more vocal fry and uptalk than a single nation could contain. Join us as we ponder what you call a group of sugar babies, consider whether this whole thing is a pyramid scheme, and shed a single tear as the Sisterhood of Traveling Sugar Babies falls apart. We’re suffering through and reporting back on Sugar Sisters , available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. If you enjoy our podcast, please rate, review, subscribe, or tell a friend!

Meet Leonard. He’s an actor whose popular TV show has been cancelled and the movie revival of that show has yet to begin. You might say he’s In Search Of … employment. What he finds is the opportunity to make 150 episodes of a show devoted to the exploration of unsolved mysteries and things that defy explanation. Things like “psy trailing” where a family projects their location to their dog Bobby when they leave him at a rest stop 2,000 miles from home. Things like a fighting fish so strong willed he defies the odds of probability. Things like a plant photographer who has definitely ingested some plants. Things like a man hooking up yogurt to a lie detector to gauge the yogurt’s empathy. And if you think Leonard Nimoy is any help on getting through all of this, he’s far too busy dressing and posing like a deconstructed Superman and slinging junk science to make this go down any easier. Thrill as we have out of body experiences with a cat named Jill, listen to an old lady who hates rock music slowly recite a long list of plants, and use sophisticated machines and our mind’s inner eye to prove ... absolutely nothing. Is there an animal psychic involved? You bet there is! We’re suffering through and reporting back on two episodes of In Search Of … devoted to Extra Sensory Perception. They’re free to watch on YouTube if you really want to do that to yourself. Other Voices and Animal ESP If you enjoy our podcast, please rate, review, subscribe, or tell a friend!

Meet Shauna and Josh. First came love, then came marriage, then came the BS-filled documentary about their extraterrestrial, transdimensional, paranormal experiences. Valentine’s Day is approaching and love is in the air. So are stars, satellites, and streetlights, but for the purposes of this documentary, let’s call all of those things “UFOs.” What starts as the premise of an X-Files episode devolves quickly as Shauna explains how red airplane lights cause ovarian cysts and Josh is fascinated by something the rest of us would call sleeping. Thrill as we lose time, assume defenseless positions, stare at footage of out of focus streetlights, and explain how restaurants work to inefficient interdimensional beings. Is this proof of a vast extraterrestrial conspiracy designed to reduce the commute time of two Limp Bizkit fans from Michigan? Have we witnessed the ultimate transdimensional heist for Chinese leftovers? Are there ETs on Earth and do they just want to tuck us in, turn off the lights, and make sure our laptops don’t fall off the bed? One thing’s for certain: The BS is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!

Meet Bradley. As a boy, his cousins from Oklahoma showed him the scars on their arms from fishing for catfish barehanded. In other words, they were Okie Noodlers. Fast forward many years and adult Bradley decides to revisit this fishing subculture. When he finally finds some people willing to fess up to this behavior, he’ll go on a journey that ultimately leads to him establishing the first ever noodling tournament. Along the way, he'll introduce the viewer to a pantheon of men who you will be shocked to learn are about twenty years younger than they appear to be. It seem noodlin’ ages a man – and we say “man” because all of the women in this documentary may have been willing to try noodling once, but they weren’t dumb enough to ever come back. Join us as we hassle snakes, treat wounds with duct tape, and accidentally noodle a beaver. We also learn how to take away a fish's free will, how to cheat at noodling, and discover that while some noodlers noodle nude, there also appear to be never-nude noodlers. We’re suffering through and reporting back on Okie Noodling , available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. If you enjoy our podcast, please rate, review, subscribe, or tell a friend!

Meet Emily. Her hair is short, but her list of husbands is long. When a slow news day in the UK leads to the creation of a documentary The Guardian, The Daily Mail, and the Daily Telegraph all rave as the best thing ever, Jaime and Dave have no choice but to check this out for themselves and discover firsthand that the British media is wrong. So. Very. Wrong. Join us as we discuss the finer points of biganometry, ponder the raw undeniable machismo of train guards, and pitch “Bigammers,” our show that attempts to make this documentary watchable. Featuring surprise appearances by William Shatner, Doctor Who, Baby Yoda, and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Bigamy Cap™.

Meet Samantha. She’s a 40-something animal trainer determined to take her cats on the road and catch her big break, even if it costs her hundreds of thousands of dollars to get there. According to her assistant Lynsi, a neat thing about Samantha is that she doesn’t think things all the way through, but then again, Lynsi also thought she was having a career crisis BEFORE she was living in a motorhome with a middle-aged woman trying to run a cat circus. We’ll witness heavy flirting, discuss whether it’s okay for your boss to tell you your significant other is going to die and it’s going to be your fault (spoiler: It’s really, really not okay), and sympathize with the cat who tries to escape from the show and start a new life in Wisconsin. Just when we think we might be watching the female version of a desperate person turning into The Joker, things shockingly turn around and end up being okay for Samantha. Maybe there’s a positive message somewhere in this mess after all, but we still maintain that cats are not an investment. Featuring surprise appearances by Pauly Shore and Stephen Colbert. This episode is not sponsored by Smirnoff, but it should be. We're suffering through and reporting back on Acrocats! , available to stream on Amazon Prime.
