The Men of Micheaux glide through a history of comedy dating back to the 40s just so they can fully unfurl their capes for Tisha Campbell and Tichina Arnold (again!), two underappreciated comedic geniuses waiting to be "discovered". Then a reflection on character actor Abe Vigoda brings them to their review of SUGAR HILL, a forgotten Wesley Snipes drama of the 90s with many influences but not much to say.

The Men of Micheaux create a list of must-see Black films from 1980-2025 for visiting extraterrestrials and give fair consideration to the career choices of Louis Gossett Jr. in light of his jingoistic movie series "Iron Eagle". Nevertheless, as in mourning the loss of 70s child actor Danielle Spencer, Len and Vincent get stuck searching for the answer: "Who thought it was a good idea for Dee to date Dwayne on What's Happening Now?"

The Men of Micheaux return to live podcasting to cape for what they've been watching lately, something a little old (King of The Hill, Homicide: Life On The Streets) and something new (Pantheon, King of The Hill?). Vincent gets lost wandering through the small sweatered lands of the Madea Cinematic Universe. And after Six Degrees of Billy Dee Williams, they go One Degree of D'Urville with their review of the still-relevant The Final Comedown.

The Men of Micheaux remember rock legend Ozzy Osbourne and Malcolm-Jamal Warner's inspiring career, consider Quincy Jones's film scores, and share their thoughts on Fantastic Four: First Steps. Unfortunately, that leaves room for their review of Little Man, perhaps the smallest achievement in the Wayans Bros. filmography.

The Men of Micheaux say goodbye to Walter Scott of The Whispers while also wondering about the group's strange hold on the hearts of Philly. Vincent and Len went to the movies to see Jurassic World: Rebirth, and they have an opinion about what the film should have rebirthed. And after sharing their favorite Saturday morning cartoons (YAY!) and cereals (BUMMER!), the Men analyze what went wrong with writer-director Fred Williamson's 1982 attempt at a 1970s "cool Black flick."
