Listen NowThe American Astronaut
We kick off our series looking at the 2002 Film Independent Spirit Awards Best Cinematography Nominees, starting with Cory McAbee’s quirky scifi western musical “The American Astronaut.” Strange little film but one that immediately captivated both of us. Tune in!

We wrap up our series covering the 1998 NAACP Image Awards Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture Nominees with George Tillman Jr.’s Soul Food. Does he deliver the sentimental and heartwarming family drama he intended? And how hungry does it make us? Tune in!
Listen NowLove Jones
We continue our 1997 NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress nominees series with a conversation about Theodore Witcher’s only film, Love Jones. Is it a first film with questionable casting decisions, unbelievable dialogue, and badly paced editing? Or is it a good example of what romantic comedy dramas are supposed to be with enjoyable characters and a great ending?
