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 ...

We review one of our all-time favorite films after researching one of the most intriguing bios we’ve ever told with Jack & David Fincher. Watching Mank isn’t enough. Gain more perspective and celebrate this unique Netflix movie event with our Mank Miniseries. This is part 2. What Is This Show?/Recapping Our Breaking News Ep - Top of Show THE SOCIAL NETWORK: BACKGROUND: Fincher’s Background + Early Hollywood Life - 2:45 (Incl Neighbor George Lucas + A Smoking Fetus) Getting Into Films - 11:05 A Fincher Family Affair - 14:38 From Fight Club Through FaceBook - 20:!2 Oscars Talk/The King’s Speech Black Cloud - 24:11 NONSPOILER REVIEW: Plot Premise/Expectations/History w/ Network - 27:13 Why This Is REALLY a 2020 Movie - 32:07 Script Thoughts: Absolute Power Redux - 34:16 Lay Down The Law - 38:50 Who Got All The Credit? - 42:12 Production Values: Score - 46:56 Editing - 50:00 Performances - 51:57 SPOILER WARNING - 54:05 SPOILER-FILLED REVIEW: Is Zuck Here An AntiHero? - 54:46 Gangster Zuck and Friend Requests - 1:01:10 Who Called the Cops? - 1:05:30 All Time Tell Offs + Lowlights - 1:09:19 We Need Better Security - 1:11:56 Socials/Your Homework - 1:13:13 What’s Next From MMO/Words of Wisdom - 1:14:16 This miniseries offered us a unique opportunity to do several retrospectives as a thematic lead up to Mank. Citizen Kane was the obvious first choice, as Mank is about the writing of that classic film, and of course, we picked our favorite from director, David Fincher, which is another perfect companion piece. In episode 1, we researched all the relevant connections, settings, and history of Citizen Kane that will apply to the story of Mank. In episode, 2, we researched all we could about the storytellers, Jack & David Fincher and told their bios and filmographies up to The Social Network and how Mank was nearly made in the late 1990’s. But in both of these episodes, we discuss and derive all the connections of story and theme amongst these 3 films, and it’s staggering how closely related they all are. Something else great about this miniseries though is that each and every episode exists well on its own merits. For this is a retrospective on one of our absolute favorite films of all time, a new classic, and there’s so much to discuss and dissect about this eerily prophetic masterpiece. So as always, you get a spoiler warning before we get into the plot. But because there’s a bit more elevated discussion on the overall, we do spend most of our time in non-spoiler territory. If you’re enjoying this miniseries, do stay tuned for our film study on Mank, coming up next, and then our Fincher Awards Show. We hope to have guests for both of those, and we look forward to finishing this series in style. Otherwise, and as we always say, do let us know your thoughts. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are at Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. You can subscribe / rate / review / like / share / & hear us on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play, Tune In, Spotify, and just about wherever you might listen. We’re Mike, Mike, & Oscar, and we’re making awards season year round, without the stuffiness. Thank you! And do stay safe, everybody.
