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?

One way or another, I wanna get ya, I’ll get ya!
This week Han, Cil, and Rachel discuss Season 3 Episode 17 of 9-1-1, “Powerless.” Karen is suspicious of Hen, Athena is tracking down the realtor rapist, and Josh is debating whether to make his statement in court. Super lighthearted stuff, amirite?
Maddie lends an ear and advice to Josh who’s struggling with moving on after The Taking of Dispatch 9-1-1.
Karen finds some breadcrumbs Hen leaves behind, leading her to daydrink with Chimney while they commiserate over Hen’s “double life.” We explore how Hen internally processes things and how that can lead to some less than desirable outcomes when her suspicious track record is not squeaky clean. But when the truth comes out, Karen is elated and supportive, while Chimney is left with the stirrings of his abandonment issues.
Athena’s lone wolf ways finally put her in a situation she doesn’t walk away from (she’s wheeled out on a stretcher.) We discuss the reactions of dispatch and the 118, who all listen to he harrowing attack not knowing if Athena will be alive when they arrive on scene. In the aftermath of the attack we talk about how Bobby leans on Michael for support and some destructive stress-relief.
Michael gets his meet-cute moment and things are finally looking up as he awaits the results of his MRI. But duty calls and he rushes to be with his family to support them through Athena’s recovery.
Dig into some great Buddie and Bathena parallels with us in our Slow Burn section between this episode and Brawl in Cell Block 9-1-1 (Season 5 Episode 6.) We also have a laugh at how Buck and Eddie come as a set even when the hypothetical gathering is all couples.
