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?

Surely designed to make you want to go to Mauritius, Lisa and Charles Adrian find that this month’s rom com is a lot more than just an advertising feature.
Resort To Love
Year: 2021
Screenplay by: Tabi McCartney and Dana Schmalenberg
Based on a story by: Tabi McCartney
Director: Steven K. Tsuchida
Stars: Christina Milian, Jay Pharoah, Sinqua Walls, Christini Pitts
Show notes:
Resort To Love is a really good rom com. It’s a solidly built, satisfying, funny, well-written, well-acted rom com with a beautiful soundtrack and dreamy locations. But would we pay to see it at the cinema? Maybe. We don’t know. We streamed it on Netflix. And how is it different from the great rom coms of yesteryear? Is it really so different from them? What makes a great rom com anyway? We are not sure. But we have some ideas.
Other films mentioned in this episode are: Joe Versus The Volcano (1990) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099892/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 – also the subject of episode 8 of this podcast), To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3846674/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 – also the subject of episode 2 of this podcast), 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147800/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 – also the subject of episode 1 of this podcast), My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119738/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1), Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800039/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0), Love’s Last Resort (2017) (the synopsis of which is here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6398360/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0), You’ve Got Mail (1998) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128853/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1), Sliding Doors (1998) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120148/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) and Christina Milian’s previous Netflix outing Falling Inn Love (2019) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9860728/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0).
We record these episodes over the internet. Sometimes the audio is not perfect. We apologise for that.
Music in this episode is by Martin Zaltz Austwick (martinzaltzaustwick.com). Artwork is by Lisa Findley.
