The Men of Micheaux kick off their next 500 episodes by debating which actors did the most with the least in 21st-century silent-ish films, as well as the colorism in the X-Men's casting of Maya Boyd.

| Birthright (1938) + We Root for Michael J. Fox, Holland & Zendaya, and Indiana Micheaux | 05 Aug 2026 | 01:42:23 | |
The Men of Micheaux return to the films of Oscar Micheaux for a rediscovered remake of one of his lost silent films, which fuels the imagination and prompts a full reconsideration of the man, his movies, and his myth. Plus, they love Back to the Future and Michael J. Fox. Or maybe they love Tom Holland and Zendaya even more. It’s certainly not 80s-80s Hip-Hop, though it gets plenty of love sprinkled on it in this episode, just the same.

| Disorderlies (1987) + I Love Boosters Legs + 5 Directors' Biggest Flops | 01 Jul 2026 | 01:30:28 | |
Vincent is amazed by the box-office legs of I Love Boosters, the latest surreal treat from writer-director Boots Riley. The Men of Micheaux debate the biggest flop in the filmographies of Spike Lee, Malcom D. Lee, Barry Jenkins, Antoine Fuqua, and Tyler Perry.

| MICHAEL (2026) full review, CLIVE VS QUINCY, COLTRANE AND THE CHIPMUNKS | 25 Jun 2026 | 01:52:06 | |
The Men of Micheaux expand on their previous mini-reviews to share their full thoughts on the biggest music biopic of all time. They honor the passing of music impresario "mafioso?" Clive Davis and stack his 'degrees' against those of the equally legendary Quincy Jones. They also stack the filmographies of the Wayans Family and the Tyler Perry Cinematic Universe side by side. The music of John Coltrane and The Chipmunks inspires the Men in special ways, and Vincent goes Six Degrees to a couple of other Michaels in film.

| CB4 (1993) + WELCOME TO THE CHARLIE MURPHY EXPERIENCE + MORE KHANDI PLEASE | 03 Jun 2026 | 01:18:34 | |
The Men of Micheaux settle in to review 1993's CB4, marveling at the many gifts of Khandi Alexander on display and underutilized. They also remember what it was like to behold the Charlie Murphy experience for the first time and the understated brilliance of Phil Hartman and Chris Elliott. And then there's the Allen Payne of it all and, of course, Chris Rock. Before he was Chris Rock, he was Chris Rock.

| Who’s Your Caddy (2007) + Is God Is, The Origin of LaToya | 27 May 2026 | 01:25:34 | |
Vincent and Len debate the merits of a new way to determine the ‘blackness’ of a film, with an old friend coming home. Vincent is dazzled by the talented Kara Young as she burns up the screen in Is God Is and I Love Boosters. The Men of Micheaux try to break down the etymology of ‘LaToya’ (as in Jackson), and then, regretfully, they review 2007’s Who’s Your Caddy, which is perhaps the “Godfather” of the Don Michael Paul filmography.

| Eve of Destruction (1991) + The Jacksons' American Dream, King Kong & Sexuality | 20 May 2026 | 01:38:13 | |
The Men of Micheaux are asked to make more content on The Jacksons, and its the American Dream of Vincent’s life. What would the original King Long (1933) tell a traveling alien about our feelings on race and sexuality? Angela Bassett is one of Hollywood’s most acclaimed actors, but Len’s sister ain’t hearing that noise. Was the Roast Of Kevin Hart necessary? And how did Gregory Hines find himself at the EVE OF DESTRUCTION?

Vincent and Len chat about their ideas for Black sci-fi movie composers, a classic film playlist for the 10-year-old, and compare Frankenstein, Radio, and Harry and the Hendersons to 2009's The Blind Side, which is a really, really, really, really bad Black movie.

The Men of Micheaux return to discuss the cancellation of Star Trek Starfleet Academy after one season and the fate of the Star Trek franchise going forward.

Vincent is 'disappointed' in the Missionaries and their love of "random 90s music by 80s greats" while he pulls out his wallet. The Men of Micheaux question if Oscar-winner Michael B. Jordan is the next Denzel Washington. We go Six Degrees to the unflappable Oliver Platt and Lois Lane (?). Finally, we review writer-director Charles Burnett's THE GLASS SHIELD, which pulls off one of the biggest fakeouts in movie advertising history and reveals the Tommy Hicks multiverse of films.

Vincent and Len remember acting legend Robert Duvall and civil rights titan Jesse Jackson before tallying up the Wild Wild West Cowgirls versus The Star Treklettes of 60s TV. Were Queen Latifah and Mos Def distracting in Brown Sugar? What would Imitation Of Life look like today? Which Man of Micheaux will go Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon first? Is the blaxploitation western Boss Nigger really that good?

NOTE: The audio for this episode was compiled from a single source and enhanced for your entertainment. The Men of Micheaux say goodbye to Demond Wilson of Sanford & Son fame (and, perhaps, a budding project of theirs), revealing that one of them might be a hater.

Then Six Degrees takes a strange turn around Miguel Nunez, and the Men unexpectedly agree on the virtues of the legendary Fred Williamson, aka that man Charley!

The Men of Micheaux reminisce about their shared love of foundational anime staples of the 1970s, such as Star Blazers and Battle of the Planets. Then, after doing Six Degrees of D'Urvile to the legendary Lana Turner and the underused Juanita Moore, Vincent becomes perplexed by Len's out-of-the-blue DVD-versus-SDJ comparison. Finally, the Men review the 1959 remake of a classic tale that exceeds its reach aesthetically if not culturally.

Vincent and Len discuss the late T.K. Carter, finding previously unseen racism in their favorite movies, asshole comedians (or comedians’ assholes?), Bill Murray, Chris Rock, The Breakfast Club, and the un-passing hiding inside of 1949’s Pinky besides the film’s three Academy Award-nominated performances.

| Zola (2020) | 08 Jan 2026 | 01:26:02 | |
The 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.

The 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.

Artist/Podcaster Wi-Moto Nyoka (Black Women Are Scary) steps onto the Mission with memories of podcasts as intimate affairs for the ears, not the eyes.

That seamlessly leads into a review of the compelling 2017 documentary about life in Ferguson during the BLM movement. Vincent explores Six Degrees of separation within the career of 'the white guy in Enter The Dragon,' and Ben and The Men use Silver Convention's Fly Robin Fly to soundtrack a movie.

The Missionaries has Vincent and Len combing through the history of Black Teen actors in the 1980s and the origin of the Buddy-Cop genre (would you believe 1974?).
