In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

Hoooo boy, it's finally time to talk about "Depth Takes a Holiday," this week on Morgendorks! Daria's visited by the personifications of St. Patrick's Day and Valentine's Day, who implore her to help them round up the disgruntled personifications of Halloween, Christmas, and Guy Fawkes Day and bring them back to Holiday Island through a dimensional portal behind one of Lawndale's Chinese restaurants. Y'know, when we put it like that, it really sounds kinda fun. Also: FAN MESSAGES! YAY! Two things of note for this episode: One, we don't have any cultural context this time around. It was all we could do to keep this thing at a reasonable length as it was. Two, we ran into some recording issues, so you'll probably notice some skipping in Nissa's track. Sorry about that! We're gonna change up the way we record, so hopefully it doesn't happen again. Anyway, drop some strong hallucinogenics and enjoy as we discuss this purely bonkers half hour of television.
