Episode 3: The Black Auteur Era. In this episode, we get into the era where Black filmmakers began shifting the image from representation to authorship. From Spike Lee, John Singleton, and Reginald Hudlin to the creative partnership between Robert Townsend and Keenan Ivory Wayans, we explore the rise of directors and storytellers who brought new perspectives, styles, and realities to the screen. We talk about the emergence of films like Menace II Society, Juice, and New Jack City, the rise of Denzel Washington as the first true modern Black movie star, and the impact of women in cinema, both behind the camera and in front of it, through films like Eve’s Bayou, Daughters of the Dust, Waiting to Exhale, and Set It Off. This is the era where Black cinema becomes more personal, political, regional, stylish, and self-defined, and where the filmmaker becomes part of the cultural conversation itself.

Episode 2: The 1980s. In this episode, we look at how Black culture moved to the center of consumerism, capitalism, and global visibility. From the crossover success of Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston to Eddie Murphy’s rise as a box office force, the 80s reshaped what Black success looked like and who it was for. We get into how that shift shows up across film and television, from The Cosby Show and its legacy of representation, to Miami Vice and the rise of MTV-era aesthetics, to Purple Rain and the merging of music, celebrity, and cinema. We also discuss The Color Purple and the question of who tells Black stories, Lean on Me and early blueprints for the “hood classic,” and Harlem Nights, what it means to have ownership, and what happens when that ownership isn’t fully received. This is the era where Black culture becomes highly visible and highly profitable. The question is: who actually benefits from that shift? instagram: @cool.theory production: Money Mick + Blaze The Rebel  home base: More More Now Records hosted and conceptualized by: Kia and Rissy
