Micheaux Mission

Categories: Tv, Film, Reviews
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!
Episodes
Zola (2020)
Jan 08, 2026The Men of Micheaux debut their new home at Anga Studios, planting their flag (and feet) on new territory. Listeners, aka Missionaries, have the Men analyzing the careers of Gabrielle Union and Robin Williams (one is more meh than you think, and it ain't hers). Going Six Degrees of D'urville Martin to Z-actors Zach Galifianakis and Zazie Beetz lands the show in the lap of Chevy Chase (OUCH!), but the Men end things delighted by the tantalizingly funny ZOLA, featuring another tour-de-force performance by Micheaux Mission favorite Taylour Paige.

Nov 26, 2025The Men of Micheaux bid a fond farewell to reggae legend Jimmy Cliff (1944-2025) and question his and others’ place in music history, which steers into the legacy of the Jacksons, and a requiem of sorts for Randy Jackson. Who should sing a song of Thanksgiving? Six Degrees of Two 2009 indie pictures lead directly into this black & white debut from LaLa Land’s Damien Chazelle.

The Men of Micheaux and Wi-Moto share their ideas for original horror films of their own and then review the "werewolf drama" that's one part Brazil, one part France, one part Portuguese, and all parts intense.
