Hey! If you enjoyed our review of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, then we have a special treat for you. Today, we’re sharing an episode from the Webby Award-winning podcast American Masters: Creative Spark, produced by our friends over at PBS.  In this compelling episode from American Masters’ podcast, host Joe Skinner sits down with one of the definitive artists of Black cinema: costume designer Ruth E. Carter. This interview was recorded just *minutes* after Ruth got word of her 2023 Oscar nomination for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

This week we’re paying tribute to the icon Sidney Poitier, by revisiting one of our favorite episodes. Original Airdate: 9/3/2015 Well, this happened. Keegan-Michael Key showed up like a burst through the comedic heavens and landed in our podcast basement to record the most intense, hilarious, and in depth discussion of the classic Sidney Poitier flick 'In The Heat of The Night.' Key had the knowledge and energy of ten men, which made it impossible to edit a minute of this. I don't think you'll mind. Maybe Black Men Can't Jump in Hollywood, but they did land one of the most dynamic comedic talents of a generation and he truly brought the noise, son! If you're interested in acting, film, history, the craft, the biz, the culture of representing black men on screen, or really just thinking critically about the challenges and triumphs of Mr. Sidney Poitier and the effect he had on actors, well then we got you son.

Jonathan Braylock is busy booking roles left and right. This week James and Jerah to break down House Party. But don't fret, they've brought the incomparable Cipha Sounds to take on the 1990 New Line Cinema comedy House Party with hip hop duo Kid n Play. In an alternative history Kid and Play chose to be in Fresh Prince of Bel Air instead of Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff. This fun time party flick is filled with messages. It also gives the crew to take on one of the recurring questions this podcast runs into: What does it mean to be a rapper turned actor?

What's wilder than "Wild Wild West?" The fact that James III quite literally had to phone it in for this episode. Aside from that, the boys break down the implications of a black cowboy. Also, there's just a lot of feelings about Will Smith, like, a lot. Including the fact that Will Smith got robbed of some potential Swirl moments in this film.

Natasha Rothwell (Saturday Night Live, Wild'N Out) drops by to review Eddie Murphy's Coming to America. This is Eddie at the height of his Hollywood powers and damn if there isn't a lot to break down.

1998 was a simpler time for Wesley Snipes, tax wise, because he wasn't paying them. Also the film world was not yet over run with vampires, pale or otherwise. Enter Blade, the sword slinging, leather jacket rocking, tatt'd up head and hair cut from the future having bad bad dude. The boys break down how nice it was to have something they could dress up as for Halloween and how dope this movie was or wasn't for The Cause.

The 1974 Mel Brooks satirical Western "Blazing Saddles" has Jerah furious. Not even the best kind of swirl can temper the blaze that roars inside of him. And try as they do, neither Braylock nor James III can bring him around. But just when you're counting it out, The Cause delivers a stunning review. This also might be the best Hancock drop that James III ever does. Soak it up James! Next week we review Blade.

Denzel Washington won an Oscar for best actor in a movie that he wasn't even the lead in, or was he? He was. Maybe. It's not easy for a black man to win an Oscar. Jerah got himself a Carmel Swirl, which is something like progress. But hey, did Denzel black it up in this movie or is he just Denzel being Denzel? It's a subtle distinction and we're here to make that distinction. The Cause is about as real as it gets this week. Under heavy pressure from Jerah, James sticks to his rating because he's a gentlemen and a scholar. Next week we review Blazing Saddles.

Well, this happened. Keegan-Michael Key showed up like a burst through the comedic heavens and landed in our podcast basement to record the most intense, hilarious, and in depth discussion of the classic Sidney Poitier flick 'In The Heat of The Night.' Key had the knowledge and energy of ten men, which made it impossible to edit a minute of this. I don't think you'll mind. Maybe Black Men Can't Jump in Hollywood, but they did land one of the most dynamic comedic talents of a generation and he truly brought the noise, son!
